HERETICS - An Exhibition of Folk-Horror Art

By Dustin Cabeal

Next week if you're in the Leeds area of the U.K. (Did that sound like I knew where that was? I don't, but God I wish I did), then you should check out P M Buchan's HERETICS art exhibition. As the headline already told you, it's folk-horror art, and just the fact that something like that exists is worth celebrating. Seriously, though, I wish I could go, but considering I can even use the cliche of "across the pond" to describe the distance from me to Leeds (please sound convincing), I won't be able to attend. I will say that P M Buchan is bad ass and I dig anything he's put together so show some support and check it out if you can. If you can't, you better have the exact distance in meters, of why you can't attend... or work I guess.

Review: Platinum End vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

The creators of Death Note are back with a new series… Platinum End. Honestly, you’re better off not knowing that, but since it’s on the back cover and all over the internet/marketing, you won’t escape it, least of all now.

Review: Occultic;Nine E.02

By Dustin Cabeal

Convoluted doesn’t begin to describe this show. Maybe if convoluted had a baby with a film student that just watched everything by David Lynch, then maybe we’d have an accurate description of just how terrible this show and episode are.

Review: Venus TPB

By Robert Larson

It’s funny to be writing a review of Venus, given that Comic Bastards gives its endorsement on the back page of this book. But our reviews only went through the first half of the series, and now I’ve got a chance to say something about the series as a whole. Do I like it? Yes, I do think this is a worthwhile series. While I’m generally a sucker for anything science-fiction, what I liked about this book is that the real focus was on exploration: even as it looks at humanity’s place in the cosmos, it’s also looking at the challenges we faced in the past and what we’re looking at today.

Reivew: Serenity: No Power in the 'Verse

By Laramie Martinez

I don’t know if I’ll ever get sick of Firefly. Every time I see them appear in comic form it gives me that warm fuzzy nostalgia feeling that every media company seems to be trying to tap into these days. Although the previous comic series have been hit or miss, I have enjoyed them enough to look forward to any new series Darkhorse puts out. This issue leans heavy on the nostalgia, spending a lot of the time checking in on the rag-tag crew, but this issue does plant a few seeds for conflicts that could have a dramatic impact on the franchise.

Review: The Skeptics #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I was going to open with a Cold War Kids song, but I don’t know any of their songs. Probably something melodramatic about how hard it is to be rich and famous and making music, but then the trade off to that is constant touring, so you’re not forgotten by the audience. Something like that.

Review: Conan the Slayer

By Laramie Martinez

This issue of Conan felt like a deep breath after a sprint. We’ve seen non-stop action for the past few issues and this one takes an opportunity to slow things down and reset. We’ve reached a plateau here, even so, the comic still delivers a decent amount of action. That being said, I think this issue is a little too Conan-centric. How is that possible in a series titled “Conan”? You can find out how below.
