Review: Dead Inside #1

By Chris Tresson

Today, I’m having a look at Dead Inside #1 from John Arcudi, Toni Fejzula, and Dark Horse Comics. For the sake of trying to not spoil this book in the review (and I hate doing this, really), Here’s the information which was given in the solicitation:

The Jail Crimes Division of the Sheriff's Office in Mariposa County investigates crimes committed inside county jails. With a limited number of suspects who can't escape, these are usually easy cases to solve-but not this one. As Detective Linda Caruso gets closer to the heart of the case, she discovers uncomfortable truths about her friends, her job, and herself.

Review: Klaus and the Witch of Winter #1 (One Shot)

By Jonathan Edwards

In November of last year (2015), Boom! Studios released the first issue of Grant Morrison's Klaus. With Dan Mora on art duties, the limited series was billed as "Santa Claus: Year One." To be honest, I don't know if I would've been as immediately sold on the idea if it weren't Morrison at the helm, using his unique creative flair to elevate it above mere high concept.  Over the seven issues, we met the eponymous Klaus, a reclusive hunter chosen by winter spirits to return joy and hope to a city under tyrannical rule, culminating with a fight against an ancient evil. Stylistically, Klaus is comparable to Darren Aronofsky's film Noah, both maintaining a relatively grounded feel, with the more fantastical elements feeling more mythic and/or folkloric than outright religious.  Overall, it was a strong, if not wholly exceptional, entry in Morrison's long and vaunted writing career.

Review: Justice League vs Suicide Squad #1

By Chris Tresson

The Justice League. The Suicide Squad. DC Comic’s biggest and most recognizable super-groups being pitted against each other in a comic book miniseries written by Joshua Williamson and drawn by Jason Fabok… This should be bloody good, right? I’ve already got my name down for a few comic reviews this week but I’m going to end up reading this anyway so I thought I’d review it whilst I was at it. So, Let’s find out what this book is like…

Review: Dept. H #9

By Jonathan Edwards

I picked up the first issue of Dept. H completely on a whim. I originally saw it online, listed among the weekly new releases. The name was cute, and, after reading the series description, it seemed like it could be interesting. However, nothing really made me feel like I really needed to go out and get it. However, when I saw it on the shelf of my local comic shop, I made a snap judgment: eh, screw it. Why not? And with that, I bought it.

Review: Hook Jaw #1

By Chris Tresson

This book I’m about to review is probably one of the more interesting looking titles available at comic shops this week… This book I'm about to review is Hook Jaw #1 from Titan Comics, written by Si Spurrier with art from Conor Boyle. As far as I’m aware, this series is a reboot of a character from a British comic called Action. A comic which came and went way before my time. I’m not sure of the complete history of the character, but I’m going to go out on a severed limb and say this is the first time the character has had its own series outside of that old weekly comic and I’ve found myself wanting to review it based on the fact that it’s about a shark… and I usually pop my head in on everything Si Spurrier writes. Here we go now…

What? A review for an episode of Dragon Ball Super? You’re goddamn right it is! I initially wanted to write a review of the previous arc and that idea went down the drain, but after watching last week’s episode, I just HAD to share this episode with you guys.

Review: Yuri on Ice!! E.11

By Shanel Kamara

How exactly is a wedding band a charm? I am a little mystified as to how the purchase of wedding rings cannot have some implication to the type of relationship a person has with another. However, I do realize, that in spite of the aspects of realism evident in this show, this anime is a piece of fiction, put simply.

Hadrian's Wall #4 and the Art of Breaking Up

By Patrick Larose

The first time you see Simon and Annabelle together--they’re smiling. This is the future so they’re in a hover car but still they’re driving along the coastline at sunset, dumbly grinning and badly singing Tom Petty’s “American Girl.” A warm orange glow wraps around them and when they kiss, cartoon hearts fill the spaces between them.

This is not a happy memory. This is a cruel reminder.

Trailer Time: Gintama - Live Action

By Robert Ramos

OH.MY.GOD. This was quite possibly the best news to wake up to this morning in what has been a pretty shitty month. I don't care if it ends up sucking, I will still watch the hell out of this movie.
