Review: Moonshine #3
By Chris Tresson
I’m back! And this week I’m ready for my third shot of Moonshine, which is published this week by Image Comics and produced by writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso. I’m not really one for review three straight issues of anything, I get bored quite easily but so far it hasn’t happened with this book. I actually look forward to reading it and if you read my first review of Moonshine you’ll know I’ve had the first three issues in my possession since before the first issue even came out. I’ve held off reading it and I’m semi-glad I did because I would’ve had to wait a couple of months for issue four which would’ve killed me.

Rurouni Kenshin Manga Coming To An Omnibus Near You
By Robert Ramos
Color me interested. I picked up the anime earlier this year, which has now been put on hold because of the podcast, and I've enjoyed all I was able to watch. Granted, the intro is ridiculous, but that's beside the point. This seems like a great way to entice new readers to the cult classic that is Rurouni Kenshin and I, for one, am all for it. Good job, Viz!
Let's Take A Moment To Appreciate This Nut Shot To Archie
By Dustin Cabeal
By no means am I saying that this cover is "good art" or even "classic", but can we take a moment to just appreciate the fact that something like this is still being made? Let's face it, we all love bad comic art as much as we love good comic art and a few artists have even made their fucking entire career off of bad art. Not that this is bad per se, but Archie is completely stiff and flying nuts first into a tree and somehow he doesn't have to bend his legs or move his hips to do this. And yet it's pretty amazing. It makes me want to see Archie take a tree shot to the nuts and then the rest of the issue they're just in the ER and suddenly it gets heavy as Archie might loose his balls and never have little Archie's running around with Strawberry blonde hair. Yeah, that's right, I got deep and picked a side.
Review: Yuri on Ice!! E.10
By Shanel Kamra
The countdown to the end of the first cour of Yuri on Ice!! officially begins. Over the past several weeks, nearly every episode of the series to air has received predominantly positive attention. The original anime has created quite a stir among audiences, quickly gaining a massive fan base especially among the female demographic. Currently, I am on the fence as to whether I am glad or sad to see the end of this show - even if it is only temporary.

I Ain't Mad At This: Planetoid Returns With "Praxis"
By Dustin Cabeal
I loved the first volume of Planetoid. Sure the ending was a little weak, but I'm happy to see it return with a new volume. Hopefully, with so much time in between, the follow up will be just as good or better.

Not To Be Excluded IDW Sets Up Office In Portland
By Dustin Cabeal
I picture a small basement office, somewhere in the middle of the hallway with this sign on it and just two people working there. One of which will be working there until another publisher has an open position. I guess IDW didn't want to be the only non-corporate entity to not have a Portland office. Also, I see an increase in comic creators moving to Portland. Which could mean a resurgence of 90s comics... anyone? Anyone?
Sun Bakery Heads To Image...
By Dustin Cabeal
I don't know how I feel about this... I mean, hey, it's good for Corey Lewis and so I guess that's good. But fuck, it feels like a bigger publisher swooping in and gobbling up the smaller publishers big fish. Since I'm quoted on the list you know I was down with this book from the get go so it's hard for me not to still recommend it to you, but fuck... I don't feel good about it.

Review: Flash Gordon: Kings Cross #2
By Laramie Martinez
Flash Gordon: King’s Cross #2 continues to stick to it’s pulpy roots, with the heroes exploring a mysterious island home to an evil sorcerer. We get to see each character have their moment in the sun while battling the insane kind of a challenges you only get to see in comics. If you’re looking for weird sights and devil-may-care adventure, pick up this issue, it’s got both in spades.
Review: The Storyteller: Giants #1
By Laramie Martinez
I’ve been a big fan of The Storyteller since they came out with Witches back in 2014. Giants #1 looks to be another excellent addition to the series. With an art style and tone reminiscent of what we’ve seen before in both Witches and Dragons. This is an excellent read for any fan of folklore. Keep reading for my full review.
Mini-Reviews: Week of 12/7/16
By Robert Ramos
While Papa Bastard is partying out of the country, someone needed to fill his shoes around here and boy howdy does he have some big feet. Joking aside, Dustin really is not available and comics needed to be reviewed: Enter me. This worked well for him and since I really suck at going into tons of detail on anything, this is right up my alley. Let’s hope you enjoy this round of Mini-Reviews!
Review: FutureQuake Winter 2016
By Chris Tresson
If you have ever been on my website or any of my social media accounts, you will know I am no stranger to FutureQuake Press. I’ve had multiple stories in their books, I sell them in my comic shop and for me, FutureQuake Press titles are the best the British small press has to offer.
Review: Space Battle Lunchtime #7
By Mike Badilla
If you remember my last Space Battle Lunchtime review, there was a battle. In space. It involved a no-holds barred battle to cook an awesome meal for King Caesar, and the losers die. This time a human (Peony) is involved. In the midst of the cooking battle, Neptunia (an alien that is also Peony's girlfriend) busts through the wall of the arena and she and the human woman embrace because they love each other. For more details, check out the brief but encompassing recap page.
Review: Ringside #8
By Pablo Arriaga
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one thinking this lately and I’m not imagining things, but I am seeing more wrestling t-shirts being worn around town more often, overhearing talk of the latest WWE Pay-Per-View and people coming by in droves to pick up the newly debuted wrestling comic. You guys, I think wrestling is cool again.
Review: Curse Words #1
By Patrick Larose
“No curses. No wars. No love.”
These are the three rules the only wizard in New York City sets for his clients.
Review: Ninjak #22
By Robert Ramos
First and foremost, this is my very first comic review. I’ve been in and out of the comic scene for a good number of months due to the lack of quality comics being produced. That’s not to say that I don’t keep up with anything, but the number of things I truly follow has dwindled substantially. Nevertheless, here I am and what a doozy I have for you with Ninjak #22.
Review: Zombie! The Adventure is Yours!
By Chris Tresson
Well, this is a first for me. I’ve chosen to review a choose your own adventure game this week, so not only is it my first time reviewing this type of thing, it’s also my first time playing! Huzzah! This CYOA (abbreviation game on point) is Zombie: The Adventure is Yours, written by Walch, drawn by Jon Lankry and released by IDW. Apparently, it has been translated (by Ivanka Hahnenberger) from another language, too… Seems like they done did a good job of that. Enough of that anyways, let’s get into it.

I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
