How Green Valley Pulls Off a Reveal
By Patrick Larose
“A disgraced group of four knights, once close friends, are given one last shot at redemption: kill a wizard, and slay his dragons. But there’s no such thing as wizards, dragons don’t exist, and nothing is as it seems in the town of Green Valley.”
Quick! Name One Publisher You'd Want To See Get The John Wick Comic License
By Dustin Cabeal
I hope you said Dynamite... because it's Dynamite. I know, I know... IDW was a close second. I wish one of my "Worst of 2016" articles were posted already because I would be linking to it right about now. I have zero interest in checking this out and will avoid it upon its release. I feel for whatever creators get attached to it. Also, I love the fact half of the below press release reads like a film review written by the studio.
Settle Down Ragnarök Fans, There's Statues Coming!
By Dustin Cabeal
I know that these releases are a necessary part of the biz. How else will people know about them? I just don't get excited for them when they come from IDW because it's almost always their same four or five brands that they actually own and only one of those are exciting. Locke & Key in case you were wondering, but hey... I'm sure we'll get a great looking Wynonna Earp statue right? That's going on the shelf next to the freebie Doc Strange.
Unboxing: Loot Anime – December 2016
By Dustin Cabeal
There are only two items that were "meh" in this month's box. One is the phone trinket that they always send and those are always "meh." The other was a cheap keychain. The rest was pretty damn good. The Sailor Moon bottle opener is legit and heavy. The Robotech light up this is nice but pretty cheap once you touch it and use it. The Ein plushy... is fucking amazing. My son loved it, and I'm happy he did. If you're getting this "crate," then you should be pretty pleased. I know that I liked it way more than the regular Loot Crate this month. Loot Wear is late again, so I probably won't have a video for it.
Review: Black Hammer #6
By Laramie Martinez
I’m putting the bottom line at the top this week, this issue is a solid end to a great series. Last month we saw this creative team branch out in both structure and art style for the Colonel’s origin story, this issue dials back the weird and cranks up the eerie for the story of Madame Dragonfly. In a throwback to the Eerie and Creepy comics of old the team has managed to make another unique addition to the first arch. While the plot may not be a strong as some of the previous issues, there are a lot of things to like about Black Hammer #6.
Unboxing: Loot Crate - December 2016
By Dustin Cabeal
It's that time again. Loot Crate, just in time for Christmas! What's the theme you ask? Stuff related to movies releasing this holiday season! YAY! Once again, this was a disappointment. I mean, they're mostly disappointments, but fuck... this one is pretty bad. Not even one cool thing.
Review: Tank Girl Gold #3
Dustin has been telling me since the beginning of my writing career here at CB to NOT GUSH about books, no matter how much I like them. So I can't tell you HOW AWESOME Tank Girl has been. How much I LOVE the art. I can't even tell you how UTTERLY ENTERTAINING this book is, considering some of the slop that comes across the comic stands. You'll just have to feel it through my reviews.
Review: Jem and the Misfits #1
By Mike Badilla
Ah, the Misfits. Danzig, Jerry Only, Von Frankenstein... all those classic characters. We can't forget about those memorable songs either! We are 138! Angelfuck! Remember when.. wait.... what? Whats that? This book isn't about those Misfits? Well I'm already not happy.
Review: Bloodshot U.S.A #3
By Chris Tresson
Hello, Comic Bastards readers. I’m about to review Bloodshot U.S.A #3 from Valiant Entertainment. The last issue wasn’t all that great for me (from what I remember of it), and I really didn’t want to review this one because of that but I thought I’d give it a go anyways. Let’s see what Jeff Lemire and Doug Braithwaite have in store for us with this one… Here we go.

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.
