Press Release

Black Betty is the latest lethal lady to join Action Lab's Danger Zone universe, joining the world of DollFace, Vampblade and Zombie Tramp. She is a monster hunter for hire with a mysterious past.

“Black Betty is, essentially, a love letter to the women of my family," writer Shawn Gabborin comments. "She’s not your usual comic book (or even film) heroine. She’s built like a real woman and proudly rocks her tattoos and rockabilly style. She’s got her own look, a unique attitude, and owns every step she takes.”

Review: Dollface #5

By Levi Remington

My first foray into Action Lab Comics began with Dollface, a book that I only started reading very recently. Catching up with the series has been a particularly shallow type of fun. It's an astoundingly easy read (it's almost more tiring to not read the book) and the art is wonderfully stylish, but its nonstop adherence to stereotypical cheesecake and predictably juvenile humor kept the story from reaching any noteworthy heights.

Review: Spencer & Locke #2

By Daniel Vlasaty

Locke is a homicide detective that doesn’t know when to quit. Spencer is his partner. Spencer’s the voice of reason in this partnership, and that is not a good thing. For one, Spencer can’t seem to keep Locke “locked” down, and also because Spencer is not real. He’s an imaginary friend. He’s a stuffed panther. And he also gets car sick. But whatever, because the boys are hot on the trail of Sophie’s murderer and this is a case that’s bigger than what it appears to be. Nothing is as it seems and this is one case that keeps pulling Locke back into his rough and checked past.

Review: DollFace #3

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ll say this; I’m glad we know what happened to Ivan. That is to say; we learn what happened to Ivan’s body in this issue as our trio continue telling their story to Janey Belle aka Zombie Tramp. I’ll be honest; I don’t remember why they’re working together anymore. I know it’s about the book… but it escapes me as to why.

Review: Infinite 7 #2

By Dustin Cabeal

More of the world is explained in the second issue of Infinite 7, but I have the feeling we’re still going to be learning about this work for at least another issue. The story jumps ahead from the shocking cliffhanger of the first issue. To put it plainly, our main character Anthony is the new Smash Brannagan having killed the previous one.

Review: Infinite 7 #1

By Dustin Cabeal

After a mix-up on my part, I felt it was only fair to get this issue reviewed before the second issue arrives next week. I had been looking forward to it since I enjoy Dave Dwonch’s other comics like Double Jumpers and Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi Cab. He’s said multiple times in interviews and through the marketing of Infinite 7 that this is his love note to the 80s and action movie genre. Which isn’t hard to figure out with that Arnold Schwarzenegger looking dude on the cover, but let’s not forget the Bruce Lee clone and Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken.

Review: Dollface #2

By Dustin Cabeal

I’m way late on reviewing this, but I didn’t want it to slip by before the next issue. One because I enjoy it and two because it’s pretty different than a lot of other comics out there right now. A big thing for me is that even though this is a “hunter” comic book, it’s not annoying or repetitive like those stories tend to be. The fact that two issues into this series and we’re still revealing how our trio came to be and why they ran into Janey from Zombie Tramp have all yet to be revealed.

Preview: Spencer & Locke #2 from Action Lab - Danger Zone!

Action Lab's noir mashup of Calvin and Hobbes and Sin City continues in SPENCER & LOCKE #2! Spencer and Locke’s investigation leads them to the seedy nightclub known as the Red Rose. But what kind of power does the Red Rose’s owner hold over Locke? Meet Ramona Sinclair. If this femme fatale doesn’t do these gumshoes in, a death-defying car chase just might. The second chapter of David Pepose and Jorge Santiago, Jr.'s pitch-black love letter to Watterson and Miller will arrive in comic shops and digital devices May 2017!

Review: AmeriKarate #1

By Dustin Cabeal

AmeriKarate is by far one the most difficult titles of any comic to type. It is unnatural in the way that you must move your fingers, and that is a complaint that no one cares about, but welcome to the start of this review.

Preview: Action Lab's Brigands #4

By Dustin Cabeal

I read the first issue of this series and it wasn't bad. If I wasn't reading a couple dozen books each week I might have kept up with it, but as it is I'll likely just sit down with issues 2-4 and reading them altogether. Speaking of issue 4, we have an exclusive preview below for you to check out!

Review: Cougar and Cub #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I was a big fan of Nick Marino and Daniel Arruda Massa’s Holy F*ck and its aptly named sequel Holy F*cked. Of course, I was going to check out Cougar and Cub which is a fairly obvious parody of Batman and Robin.

Review: Dollface #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ve been waiting to read Dollface since supporting the Kickstarter. Having gotten my print copies and my digital I could have reviewed it early but had too much going on. I’m a big fan of Dan Mendoza’s. Every since discovering the first volume of Zombie Tramp at Long Beach Comic Expo, I have followed his work. Needless to say, I was excited about a new series from him, especially with him illustrating it.
