Wow, they're just getting back to this huh? I honestly forgot about the "mystery" surrounding the rebirthing of DC. Still not sure how the Comedian's button fits into everything... because wouldn't he be dead? And if I fucked with your universe, why would I leave a calling card? Whatever, I hope you're in love with Tom King like everyone else is because DC got tired of waiting for Johns to write this shit and gave it to King.

It’s been a few months since issue #15 came out, which is kind of Jason Aaron’s MO, it seems. I think I’d be pretty pissed about the delay too if the issue wasn’t so damn good. I love Southern Bastards, man. I love everything about it. I love the feel of it. I love the stink of it. I love the writing and the art. I love that this is what I imagine life in southern small towns is probably like.

I have to say this is probably the best Loot Wear that I've gotten. Sure I'm not in love with all of the brands that they put in there, but as far as wearability goes, it's pretty damn good. The only thing that I would feel like a fraud wearing is the Mr. Robot stuff and I still don't see how that show is such a fashion powerhouse, but whatever. Also my fucking cat makes an audio appearance. Enjoy.

Storyteller: Giants #2 has everything you want in a Storyteller comic. Plucky hero? Yes. Enormous evil villain? Check. Overwhelming odds overcome by courage and weird randomness? It’s got this in spades. Check out my review below.

I hate The Count of Monte Cristo. I just wanted to say that. I find it to be a lame ass story that offered no surprises, not even the one at the end. Why? Because it was fucking obvious. I hate all iterations of it and just because this one is in manga form and the woman's boobies are hanging out, doesn't mean I care.

It’s timely that Dungeons and Dragons: Frost Giant’s Fury comes out this week as I am just beginning a new campaign with a new party. I’ve been stealing ideas from Jim Zub’s comics for years now and I look forward to another series that I can mine fantasy shenanigans to use on my players. After reading the first issue, I expect this series to be no different from his previous comics. It’s got humor, drama, and, of course, monsters.

Full disclosure I know Justin Wood quite well. We’ve never meet in person, but we converse, and he’s the creator of our logo, the review banners and writer of reviews on many occasions. That said, you’re probably wondering how the fuck I can objectively review NPCs if that’s the case.

I wasn’t a big fan of the last arc of this series. It just didn’t feel like a Batman comic to me. I don’t think anyone here at Comic Bastards really enjoyed it but it’s a new year, a new arc and a new artist for All-Star Batman. Issue six beings an arc which will involve Mr. Freeze and hopefully no terrible quips or puns. Here we go.

At the end of my review for Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth #1 last week, I said that I fully intended to check out Justice League of America: Vixen #1, so here I am. Now, I may have known little about The Atom, but I knew even less about Vixen. I was pretty sure she could mimic the abilities of animal (likely due to being connected to the "Red" such as Animal Man and, I think, Beast Boy are), and that's about it. That does indeed turn out to be the case, and I'm super okay with it because animal mimicry is rad.

I'm baaaaack… And this week I’m returning to Dark Horse Comics for another dose of Richard Corben's Shadows On The Grave. I loved the first issue of this series and was left wanting more of it. I do love me some horror comics and I’m really liking what Dark Horse is doing with theirs at the moment. Keep up the good work!

Khaal is originally a French comic book, which isn’t 100% apparent from the cover. It becomes more obvious upon reading it and realizing that the art is beautiful, while the story struggles. I’ve heard a lot of people say that French comics value art over the story and that’s damn true here.

What up, Dawg! Sorry... That was a terrible way to open a review. It seems like forever since I read the first issue of Red Dog. I think it has genuinely been five or six months since I first opened it up and you know what? Although I read a lot of comics… like, a really stupid amount of comics per month (I’ve stopped counting how many), I can still remember what happened in the last issue of this like I only read it yesterday. That’s impressive. Either it was really good (it was) or I’m like some sort of comic book reading Rain Man (I’m not.) Anyways, this is my review of the second issue of Rob Cohen’s Red Dog from 451 Media. Let’s get this show on the road.

I picked this up to read because I was terribly confused by it. How exactly was this a James Bond title with a scruffy blond man on the cover? Well, it’s not, not in the sense that it follows James Bond, but rather Felix Leiter. The joke was on me because I thought I could just pick this up and maybe enjoy it without having to read any of the other James Bond titles, but this character comes straight out of Warren Ellis’ run that either just wrapped or has one more awkward issue left.
