Review: Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

Having watched the first episode of the anime short that was done for this series, I couldn’t wait to read the manga. Then I realized, I have never read a Gundam manga before. Before I cracked the book open, I wondered if it would even work as a manga. The joy of Gundam is seeing the mobile suits in action, zipping through space and fighting to the death. How would that translate to still images I began to wonder.

Review: Toys “4” Cheap!

By Dustin Cabeal

The best thing about Toys “4” Cheap is that it arrived like a proper magazine. In a bag with the cover facing out for the world to see it. Not being used to this, I didn’t notice until I was opening and my wife was giving me a strange look. The look only a wife use to dealing with her husband buying stupid ass toys can give her husband. What made it even better was that she thought it was a real having just received the Toys R Us magazine a few days before.

Review: Tragic Tales of Horrere Presents: Laudanum

By Chris Tresson

In the British small press, there’s a lot of people self-publishing work, but I can probably count on one hand the amount of them actually doing a good job of trying to get their work noticed and actively seeking out new readers… Self-promotion (or ‘The Hustle’ as I like to call it) is key to success in any creative field, but I see a lot of guys and girls putting stuff out, mentioning it once, then sitting back expecting people to just fall over it… If you asked me to name creators doing things right, the lads from Madius Comics would more than likely be the first creators I think of.

Review: Echoes

By Dustin Cabeal

I honestly didn’t expect much from Echoes. I got the gist of the story quickly, and it’s somewhat predictable in its execution and outcome, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the story. Let’s tackle that cover because I’m sure some of you are curious as to what type of story this is based on that cover alone. It is a story about abuse, but it doesn’t glorify it or show it outside of one pinnacle scene. In this day and age of comics, I feel that it’s important to point this out first because I would hate for people just to pass on this book because of the interrupted subject matter coming from the cover.
