The Best 6 Things I Stared at in 2016
By Patrick Larose
2016 was a year largely characterized by loss. Whether that loss be felt personally, culturally or politically, there's an overwhelming sense that the good guys are thinning out and the bad are encroaching closer every second.
2016 was also the year I started writing for Comic Bastards. The year I got to start writing about one of my favorite mediums on the Internet. For the first time I got engage and keep up with modern comics from the big and small publishers and, despite being a long-time comic fan, that was a completely different experience.
Review: God Country #1
By Chris Tresson
So, the other day I was cruising through Twitter looking at what people are doing with their lives (like you do) and there was a lot of positive talk about a book that’s coming out some time in the near future... The book in question is Image Comics’ God Country #1, written by Donny Cates and illustrated by Geoff Shaw. Immediately my interest was piqued. Having read The Paybacks previously (also by this creative team), I really wanted to see what this book was like… Luckily for me, upon checking the call sheet we use for reviews here, it was in amongst the advanced review copies, God Country #1. My name was next to it shortly thereafter. So, here we go. This is my review; I hope it piques your interest…
Seven Seas Licenses Magical Girl Special Ops Asuka Manga Series
By Dustin Cabeal
Okay... I want to read the hell out of this. Sure the story sounds interesting and has a nice twist, but that art! That art has me hooked. I'll be looking forward to this one, even if it's not until November.

IDW's TMNT 100 Project Is Interesting
By Dustin Cabeal
Before I get into why it's interesting, let's cover what the project is. Basically, a hundred artists are being asked to draw the Turtles to help raise funds for the Hero Initiative. Now, the Hero Initiative is to help comic creators in need. Why are they in need you ask? Let's just keep it short and simple and say that the overall structure of what makes the comic industry run is pretty broken, but that a fix would probably shutter the industry at the same time.

Review: Sherlock S.4, E.2 – “The Lying Detective”
By Dustin Cabeal
This is the episode to beat this season. I don’t know if the show will or can, but this is the episode to beat. It happens every series of Sherlock; there’s always that one episode that’s just better than the rest. This episode is brilliant.
Review: Spiritpact E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
This wasn’t a terrible episode. It wasn’t good either. It was average, but not painfully so. The formula outline that is used is overdone in anime and manga, but it can on occasion still work if what’s put into the story is entertaining or offers a fresh voice. Spiritpact doesn’t offer much that’s new and seems like the creators were just checking boxes and moving on.
Review: Akiba’s Trip: The Animation E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
I made the mistake of looking at what others were saying about this before writing my review. I wish I hadn’t done that because it blows my mind that people don't like it. First off, I don’t know shit about the franchise. I saw that it’s a game by Seed X or X-Seed… whichever, both are terrible, and either makes bad games. This show, though, is funny. It’s stupid as hell, but it’s funny.
