"The Power of the Dark Crystal" Coming From Si Spurrier
By Dustin Cabeal
Well... I like the creative team. Sorry if I have some reservations because it's BOOM! Sure we can lie and say it's Archaia still, but it's not and hasn't been for a while. Hence the single issues, the generic trades and all that stuff that Archaia didn't do, but probably should have. Anyway, the creative team is interesting and for that reason I'll check it out.

Scooter Girl Gets Colored and Printed At Image
By Dustin Cabeal
Having already read and bought Scooter Girl, it's highly unlikely that I'll pick this up, even if it's colored. But, if you've never read Scooter Girl this is a great opportunity to do so.
Review: Doctor Muscles – Journal Three
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s been an interesting ride with Doctor Muscles. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this series has been the creator’s ability to capture a past era’s storytelling, without making it feel dated. I have said in my last two reviews that Doctor Muscles looks and feels like a story that would have been extremely popular in Heavy Metal Magazine back in the eighties. The setting and look play heavily into this, but the key thing is that it doesn’t read like an 80s comic. I recently read a comic that was attempting to read and feel like a 60s TV show and accomplished that goal. The problem was, it was fucking terrible for it. That is why Doctor Muscles succeeds because it doesn’t try to be an 80s comic.

Loose Ends Might Finally Finish
By Dustin Cabeal
Let me give some background info on this project before you get all excited about the names attached to it. This series is old, but it never finished. Seriously, the first three issues released in 2011 and basically launched the careers of Jason Latour and Chris Brunner. But they never finished the fucking thing. They did three out of the four issues at 12 Gauge Comics and then blew up and worked on other shit, mostly for the big two.
Support Star Bastard, Get The Comic Bastards Variant Cover
By Dustin Cabeal
That's right Bastards! We got bastards left, right and center. We're the "Comic" Bastards and we're supporting "Star" Bastards which is an indie comic I previously reviewed and talked about on the CBMFP. I had a minor issue with the first issue, but after my review creator Andrew Clemson took it to heart and made a change that I think made the book better.
Review: Motor Crush #1
By Justin Wood
Here's a high concept for you. Motorcycles on drugs. Pricks the old ears up, don't it? However, that seems to be the Image publishing model right now, not so much selling us stories as much as idea fragments that are as abstract as they are catchy. Image adverts don't have to sell you a compelling story, rather relying on the cover copy that comes off like free association word salad. “A comic about beatnik elves, a time-traveling ocelot, and Lyndon Baines Johnson with a chainsaw.” I blame Manhattan Projects for this.
Review: Cheating Craft E.01
By Shanel Kamara
What comes to mind when you see the words ‘cheating’ and ‘craft’? These words on their own have very distinct meanings but combined they formulate one unique definition. Next, try to visualise what the title Cheating Craft could suggest. I am willing to bet that whatever preconceived notions or thoughts you had about this anime show, this anime show is guaranteed to flush them down the drain or drastically flip them over.
Warren Ellis Reveals Jon Davis-Hunt's The Wild Storm Art
By Dustin Cabeal
If you're into comics and you like Warren Ellis, then you probably already subscribe to http://orbitaloperations.com/ which is his weekly newsletter. If you don't, then you missed the gem below. He also cleared up the DC's imprint WildStorm is actually called "The Wild Storm." I actually found that to be just as interesting as the artwork by Jon Davis-Hunt. Also, fuck, that art is great!
