What. The. Fuck.

I laughed so fucking hard when I saw this cover. I mean, my god, it is terrible. Why is it in all of these Green "Lets Kill This Brand Again" Lantern crossovers, everyone gets a fucking ring? Why? Doesn't the defeat the purpose? Remember when it was a big fucking deal for someone to get a ring (at least on Earth, no one cares about other planets)? Now there's a dozen Lanterns on Earth alone and fucking apes are getting rings. Bollacks to this crossover. Just like the shitty Star Trek one, I ain't reading it. If that monkey doesn't make a banana construct I call bullshit on this entire story!

Well, it only took three chapters to be released before I actually sat down to play Telltales Batman series. Now, I don’t dislike Telltale’s formula for games. The story changing based on what I’m picking is interesting in the right context. That context is not Batman.

I likes me some sci-fi comics. The industry seems to love them some sci-fi comics. So, in a market which is currently saturated with a lot of sci-fi comics, it can be hard to stand out. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my review of Rob Cohen’s Red Dog #1 from 451 Studios.Red Dog is a story which follows Kyle, a kid living within a mining colony on a planet called Kirawan, and his robot dog Q (short for Quantum.) There's only 200 people living there, and he’s the only kid.

Thanks to the success of The Killing Joke animated movie, DC/WB Animation has gone for another rated R animation, but this time it's using that weird fucking Justice League they created around the New 52. You know the one with Wonder Woman in the actually cool fucking costume, but sucked because she ate ice cream like an asshole.

Hey, I managed to do this two weeks in a row. Maybe it will be a thing. Again, these mini-reviews are for titles that I didn’t have enough to write a full review about. I’m still going to score them and whatnot, but I just couldn’t write a full review either trashing or saying the same thing over and over again. Enjoy!

I’m dipping my toes in that big ol’ indie review pool again, this time I’m taking a look at Treves: A Restless Night by writer Tom Ward and artist Luke Parker. Now, I realised something when I decided to read and review this book: There’s a good chance that the majority of you who have come to see what’s been reviewed on Comic Bastards today are going to have absolutely no fucking idea what this book or the story it’s connected to is. I accept that. I’m going to try and bring you up to speed...

James Robinson is a writer that I want to like. I continue to try his titles out and over and over I come away not wanting to read more. I’m to the point that I feel that I should read his classic DC material and just decide once and for all if he’s a writer I want to continue reading. And it’s not because he’s a bad writer.

Udon no Kuni no Kiniro would be a typical slice of life anime series, if it were not for the element of fantasy blatantly apparent in the series. Several anime shows have dealt with the topic of an older single male looking after their child, such as Amaama to Inazuma (a 2016 summer series) or adopting a child out of pity, despite having no experience with children.

The last time I read Harbinger was when I was still called Harbinger. I never got into Imperium since another reviewer was on and off that one. It doesn’t seem like I missed too much since it’s easily recapped in this issue. Frankly, the strength of the series has been when Peter and Harada were in it together. I say that not knowing if Harada will show up in this series, but with the strong hope he will.

When I reviewed the first issue of Spell on Wheels, I made it clear that this was a comic clearly not aimed at me. There was a certain stylistic flair or ancestral structure to the issue that called back to predecessors that I didn’t really like or participate in.
