Review: WWE Then. Now. Forever #1

By Pablo Arriaga

The main feature in this comic invites the reader to relive the final days of the SHIELD, coming off their Payback 2014 win and taking place on the Monday Night Raw the following night, as the comic flashbacks to the days leading up to the pay-per view all the way to the night Seth Rollins would turn on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose to become the whiny undisputed future on the WWE, and now we’re cheering for him. Wrestling is weird!

Mini-Reviews: Week of 11/9/16

By Dustin Cabeal

Something I used to do quite often was mini-reviews. Essentially talk about books that I didn’t want to do a full review for, but still wanted to mention and maybe even attach a score to. If we have a full review for something it won’t show up here, but here’s some titles I read this week that are worth mentioning.

We Need To Talk... Big Trouble/Escape From NY Takes The Top Spot In October

By Dustin Cabeal

Hey, there kiddos. Yeah, come on in and sit down, we need to talk. First, you're probably wondering if your mom and I are getting a divorce and the answer is yes. You see, I've loved your mom since I was a little kid. I remember her fondly in the pages of Spider-Man and Captain America. Later that love grew into X-Men and Batman.  I grew up some, and we saw each other less and less.

Image Picks Up Rich Tommaso's "Spy Seal"

By Dustin Cabeal

You just never know which idea will catch fire. Rich Tommaso's Dark Corridor was undersupported and ended too soon. She Wolf was again, undersupported, but just a mini-series. Now... Spy Seal . You just never know, but I hope that all these raving fans support the book and that means pre-orders and continued pre-orders. We'll see.

Mignola and Golden to End Baltimore

By Dustin Cabeal

Well this is interesting. Mike Mignola is ending another long-running series of his. This plus the slowed pace of the B.P.R.D. series kind of makes you wonder if he's getting tired of comics. Who knows, could just be the logical conclusion which is fine and should happen more often in comics. If you haven't read the Baltimore series then you should check it out.

Review: Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kogami vol 1

By Patrick Larose

The police procedural is to me what grilled cheese is to most people—it’s my comfort food. The narrative beats and structural format hit me like a good song with that experience of getting to watch some jaded but good-hearted cops push through the morbidity of the every-day murder and the explore the personal frustrations and weaving webs we create just in carrying out our day-to-day lives.

Review: Batman/TMNT Adventures #1

By Chris Tresson

The Batman and The Turtles... Another miniseries featuring these two franchises and a scary crossover for me, as I found the last one to be a complete and utter bag of wank. It was very disappointing to see two things I’ve loved since I was a child treated so badly. I’m hoping this miniseries will do these characters justice, because with characters like these, a crossover event between the two should be absolutely epic…

Review: Batgirl #4

By Patrick Larose

A part of me wonders that when an independent comic creator enters the mainstream superhero genre, there’s this pressure to emphasize the superhero aspect in a superhero story.

Review: All-Star Batman #4

By Justin Wood

By issue four the shock has worn off. The routine sets in. It's amazing how many nonsensical things this book crams in, yet it doesn't faze me anymore. If you want a parade of the most ridiculous Batman concepts and moments since the 1970's, pick up any given issue of 'All Star Batman.' I'm reviewing all of the remaining issues of this first arc (appearing to thankfully take its bow next issue) but the worst this book can make me feel is now behind us. Now we just wait and wonder how it came to this.
