Monster & Wine: Episode 97 - Stop Me If You've Heard This One
By Jason Beckham
Did you know that it's been 20 years since Jon Benet Ramsey was murdered? Well yeah, it has been, and CBS is making sure to capitalize on it. Monster saw part of the show and Wine is eager to see what all the fuss is about. Also, Tulsa and Charlotte were big talking points in the news this past week, and your favorite podcast duo talk about what went down and how they're feeling. Lightening things up, Monster reviews the new Taco Bell Cheddar Habanero Quesarito Big Box and goes on a semi-rant reviewing the new Ghostbusters movie. Yes, he finally got around to seeing it. Whether you're into current affairs or entertainment news, I think this episode has you covered.
Review: Assassin's Creed: Locus #1
By Chris Tresson
I don’t think I’ve ever read a decent comic based on a video game. Ever. I usually steer clear of them and since I stopped playing so many videos games, I haven’t even been tempted to pick one up. Until now. Please understand before reading this review, I am not reading this because I’m a big fan of Assassin’s Creed. I’m reading this because I’m a fan of what this creative team are capable of. I'm interested in what they could do together. So, let’s cut the bullshit: this is my review of Assassin’s Creed: Locus #1 from Titan Comics. So this is the basic gist of Assassin’s Creed (to my understanding): There are some dudes with a machine that they use to search for things through time. Valuable things. They use the ancestors of the guys who were originally in the timeline at the point where this shit can be found. I think that’s right, right? Am I right? Does it matter…?
Review: 2000 AD - Prog 2000
By Chris Tresson
Before we get into this, I have a confession to make: I am a lapsed reader of 2000 AD. I still collect it (and the megazine, I have a subscription to both, you should look into that) but here's the reality of my situation: I own a comic shop and that means I get a hell of a lot of books from there, I'm talking 100+ books a month. That's a lot of reading to be done. I also review comics here and write comics when I get the time. That usually means that I end up prioritising certain books over others and stockpiling the majority to read at a later date. I knew the 2000th issue was coming and I could not catch up in time for its arrival so I am committing a comic book sin and reading this prog out of order... May grud have mercy on my soul...
Review: Brooklyn Nine-Nine S4 E.01 “Coral Palms – Part-1”
By Dustin Cabeal
I only have one friend that watches this show which is a damn shame. It is one of the funniest shows on TV and the only other comedy besides Modern Family that makes me laugh like a raving idiot. To put it plainly, I loved this episode. I also worry about its writing constantly. To explain that I will tell you that this episode picks up six months after the end of last season which is something they’ve done each season. I appreciate that because it gives a real sense of time passing. People can look different due to other roles they’re working in the “Biz,” and it’s fine because time in their world has passed.
Review: The Good Place – E.01 “Pilot/Flying.”
By Dustin Cabeal
Why a TV review? Because there’s a section for it and I always wanted to have more than just comics reviewed on the site. That and with all the new shows out I get curious and like to check them out. The Good Place stayed with me, but not for the right reasons. The premise is easy to sum, but the show actually takes seven minutes or so to get you to the answer. The afterlife isn’t what you thought it was and there only exists a “Good Place” and a “Bad Place.” Kristen Bell… sorry, Kristen Bell’s character Eleanor is a bad person that has been mistakenly put into the “Good Place.” For whatever reason, she reveals this to her soul mate, and he faces the dilemma of helping her become a good person or narcing her out. Pretty simple. Things go crazy when all the crap Eleanor talks on day one, suddenly come to life on day two. Now the clock is really ticking for her to be a good person.

Review: Demon vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
If you followed my review for the first volume of Jason Shiga’s Demon and Bookhunter, then you already know what I’m going to give this book. Shiga is unlike any other storyteller because of the intricate details he puts into the plot. He explains everything in this volume, the history, what’s happening to our demonic soul possessing everyone in sight. All of it. There’s not much to say about this volume because I don’t want to spoil the book for you. I will tell you that in a way our main character Jimmy Lee gets himself into not one, but three unbelievably crazy situations that give the sense of him having no way out. If you thought his prison escape was something of sheer brilliance, wait until you read this volume.
Review: 7th Garden vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
The first volume of 7th Garden was devoid of anything new or different. It was a paint by numbers story about demons and angels and revenge. We meet Awyn whose last name is Gardner, who is also a gardener by profession. I wish that were the end of the gardening references, but the story kicks them up a notch in this volume saying that the angels are gardening the Earth and our demon Maria/Vyrde even tells him to use her like a gardening tool. Even worse, the angels call human gnomes… like garden gnomes. This volume concludes the battle of the first volume and in typical fashion, nothing happens, and the antagonists let the protagonists leave. “Surely this will never bite us in the ass,” said one of the angels as they left.

I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
