Review: Draw Blood: A Horror Anthology #1
By Dustin Cabeal
There’s only one question to ask yourself before considering buying Draw Blood #1. Are you still interested in reading short horror comics? If so, then buy Draw Blood. If not, then we’re done here, and you can move on. I read this because it was sent to us for review. That’s the only reason. I wouldn’t have sought it out otherwise. I’m telling you this because you need to take what I say with a grain of salt.
Review: EIR
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m glad EIR was created. I’m glad Ryan K. Lindsay and Alfie Gallagher made the book, but ultimately I didn’t enjoy it. A lot of that is on me because I’ve read a lot of comics that are very similar to EIR. That, and it’s a book that relies on its ending to make the journey worthwhile. Which isn’t bad, but it does make EIR and one and one reading experience. Unless you deeply connect to the material, but I didn’t.
Review: Child Number Four #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Child Number Four wasn’t what I thought it would be at all. It starts with a death of a child but then works back to the beginning of the story. It works quite well for this story because the narration is obviously someone that lived through this experience and is looking back on the past.
Review: The 512th Day of Christmas
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m going to clarify three things. I love Halloween; I love Thanksgiving, and I love Christmas. I’m no more of a fan of Christmas starting right after Halloween than anyone else, but the solution is simple. Spend more money in Q3 and then retail wouldn’t have to rely on Q4 to save their portfolios.
Review: Grimwood Crossing #1
By Dustin Cabeal
From the start of the issue, I wasn’t sure if I really needed to read Grimwood Crossing. It’s about vampires, zombies, and the old west to give you an idea as to why. You need to be interested in those genres to be then interested in the combination of them. I’ve been reviewing indie comics for five years, going on six and have lost all interest in vampires, zombies and the old west due to reading a lot of comics about them and at this point I don’t feel obligated to cover them just because they’re indie. Thinking that way is the reason why I’m burnt out on reading comics like Grimwood Crossing.
CBMFP 259: The Last One For A While
By Dustin Cabeal
That's murder she wrote folks. The CBMFP will be taking a break while I recharge my battery. We thank you for listening every week and hope that you've enjoyed 259 episodes of the CBMFP, more if you count all those movie ones and shit that we did. Steve and I still have a hell of a show for you this week. Lots of comic book movie news because let's be honest... that's all there ever is.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt vol. 1 Out Next Week
By Dustin Cabeal
Well I reviewed this manga hella early. I'm going to point you in the direction of my review (see Review: Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt vol. 1) and you will know that if you love Gundam or mech suits in space... or thunder; that you should check this book out next week on the 15th when it releases.
Unboxing: Loot Wear – October 2016
By Dustin Cabeal
Yes, it is November, but I just got this. I'm assuming the underwear delayed the roll out. That's right, Loot Crate/Wear is making undies now! Hell, they even have a separate subscription to get just the underwear or just the socks! I recommend the socks. I'm wearing the underwear right now, and they're all right, but if you just need generic nerd underwear, you can get that at Target. These are dryfit... I guess that makes them better. That means there's no pee hole! The matching socks were for women by the way... make that shit unisex already dammit! They dropped the ball on the horror them and their weird choices in shirt styles. Who the fuck is going to wear that Alien shirt? No one, you'll look like an asshole in PJ's. I'm looking forward to next month because you know they're going to shit the bed on Christmas.
Images Translates Garcia and Rubin's Beowulf
By Dustin Cabeal
I don't care about Beowulf at all. It's one of those stories we all read and some people love it and I don't. Mainly because I don't need to see or read everyone's version of it. Then I saw this cover and David Rubin's name on the cover and I couldn't get over how incredible the art was. I'm a huge fan of Rubin's work. I've suffered through some stories just to look at his art. I hope that's not the case here, but with that art, I'll be checking this out regardless.
Review: Bitch Planet #9
By Robert Larson
This was the first issue of Bitch Planet that has failed to grab or affect me in a really strong way. Every issue is so visceral and so full of subtext, references to the present, and complicated intersectional feminism that I always have plenty to think about when I finish the issue. But I finished reading this particular issue, and it had no real impact on me. It just advances the plot, and it doesn’t even do that to the normal standards of Bitch Planet. Perhaps it’s just an off issue? I hope so. Warning: I will be discussing spoilers here.
