You've Got A Second Chance To See Shin Godzilla

By Dustin Cabeal

If my rave review didn't convince you that should see hin Godzilla, then I don't know what will. The good news for everyone that didn't get to see it, is that due to how well it's doing and how much people are loving it, it's getting more theater dates, including a Saturday! Yeah, I had to see it late on a Thursday, so enjoy that. It's running until October 27th now and if you need to find a theater playing it (you do) then click this link to head over to Funimation's site (Here).

Review: Keijo!!!!!!!! E.01

By Robert Ramos

Let me just start off by saying that this has to be the most bizarre, over-the-top, and completely absurd anime I have ever seen. Please tell me how a sports anime about girls in bathing suits on a platform in the middle of a pool and their sole objective is to knock other girls out using strictly their boobs or butts is not ridiculous. Go ahead, leave me some comments.

Review: From Under Mountains

By Laramie Martinez

I’m a sucker for fantasy comics. But I think the genre tends to be limited by the expectations placed upon it. Some of the best short stories I’ve read recently use fantasy as a tool to explore interesting ideas. From Under Mountains is a great example of this. More of a political thriller than a rip-roaring adventure, the book tells a quieter story where personal conflicts between parents, fathers and daughters set the stage for a larger narrative. This comic feels very much like an intro arch, giving characters’ personal reasons which will inform their future decisions.

Review: Warhammer 40,000 #1

By Laramie Martinez

Earlier this year I got really into games. I’m not talking about Shoots and Ladders, or Candyland, I’m talking about the big names like Chess, Mah Jong, and of course Go. My interest peaked around the same time that AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol and I will admit the results discouraged me from learning more about these classics. I realized that perfect information games or games where all the information can be seen on the board were actually limited. I wanted something that would mimic a tactical real life battle, and strangely it was this need for something more realistic that took me to probably one of the most outrageous and unrealistic wargames on the market, Warhammer 40k.

Press Release

Fan-favorite writer Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw (Buzzkill, The Paybacks) team up for an all-new series GOD COUNTRY, set to launch from Image Comics in January 2017.

Review: The Killer Inside Me #2

By Laramie Martinez

The Killer Inside Me #2 is a decent step up from the previous issue. While the issue succeeds in tackling the story’s harsh subject matter with style and menace, it remains a little inconsistent. The writing also slows down considerably in this issue, so the pace of the previous issue is not a problem here. Check out below for the details.

CBMFP 256: Self-Sharping Machette

By Dustin Cabeal

It's been a long weekend. You may have noticed that ComicBastards.com was down for most of that weekend so while this was recorded not that long ago, everything we talked about has since left my brain. There's movie news with Mera and Logan, not together, but you know... that would be a killer crossover. Also the Harvey Awards and Killer Clowns.

Review: Shin Godzilla

By Dustin Cabeal

Take a journey with me. Back in 1998, the American film industry launched its first attempt at Godzilla. The producers of such blockbusters as Independence Day were behind the production and a soundtrack that remains as one of the best, was produced to support the film. The film was going to be huge, and I’m sure they meant every pun they said when promoting it. The film released, and it was terrible. Godzilla looked like a dickhead, he couldn’t catch a cab, and everyone overlooked the fact that the French were A) running secret operation in New York City and that B) the French were the ones to be following Godzilla’s birth? It was just a piss poor way to explain Jean Reno’s thick French accent and “military” training.
