Review: Hook Jaw #2
By Chris Tresson
Well, let’s not fuck around here. This series is probably the best Titan Comics is publishing right now. It’s ace and has a great creative team on it and it has a shark in it. I don’t feel like I need to ramble a big introduction to it, so here we go, this is my review of Titan Comics’ Hook Jaw #2. Out this week at your local comic shop.
Review: Dept. H vol. 1
By Daniel Vlasaty
Who killed the smartest man on earth…?
Dept H. is billed as a murder mystery and it is that, but also so much more. It’s the story of family and loss and adventure and science and discovery and exploration – from the farthest reaches of the universe to the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean. To the underwater caves home to strange creatures, giant turtles and tentacled things and sea spiders that can mimic human voices much like parrots.
Review: Justice League of America: The Ray Rebirth #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Something happened after I read this book. I was comparing it to the previous two JLA Rebirth one-shots, and something occurred to me. The thing I liked most about Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth #1 was the structure, as it served as a microcosm of Ryan Choi's experiences with Ray Palmer and The Atom. For Justice League of America: Vixen Rebirth #1, it was the color and how it was used to distinguish, but also link, her past and present. And then, there's this one: Justice League of America: The Ray Rebirth #1. As far as I know, this marks Ray Terrill's first appearance in the main DC continuity since 2011. Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti did write a four-issue limited series titled The Ray a few months after The New 52. However, that introduced a new character, Lucien Gates, taking up the mantle. Although, it doesn't look like anything was really done with The Ray after that. Lucien apparently showed up as a supporting character a few times, but that's about it. That is, until now. The reemergence of Ray as The Ray seems to coincide with the announced Freedom Fighters: The Ray animated series, set to appear on CW Seed later this year. Because, like the version of the character starring in that series, Ray Terrill is now gay.

Pussycats Returns With A New Mini-Series This March (NSFW)
By Dustin Cabeal
Vince Brusio's Pussycats is back with a new two-issue mini-series that will ship in March of this year. As you might have already noticed the variant covers for this series feature real models dressed as the characters from the comic and were quite popular among readers. Interestingly enough, there's going to be a wider range of covers this time around as "Store Safe" covers have been added making it easier for retailers to display the book out in the open.

AfterShock Comics Announces New Series from Layman and Kieth
By Dustin Cabeal
I think now that Chew is over everyone's going to be a little more interested in what John Layman is up to, but I'll admit that I didn't see him doing a series with Sam Kieth as one of his next projects. There's a quote from Layman about their new series Eleanor & The Egret, and it sounds crazy, but the type of crazy that makes you want to pick it up first thing on April 5th.

Bruce Wayne Gets His "Three S's" On In The New Justice League Dark Clip
By Dustin Cabeal
Uh... why are we watching Batman shave? How is this interesting? It didn't convince me to plop down my hard earned money for this film, that's for sure. Also, "Three S's" refers to shit, shower and shave! You probably learned more with that than the clip.

Review: Love Addict: Confessions of a Serial Dater
By Sarah Miller
As somewhat of a serial dater myself, I was very excited to read Love Addict: Confessions of a Serial Dater. I was looking for some insights into the various experiences I’ve had, and I was also looking forward to reading about the different affairs that someone else has had. I’m a fan of both slice-of-life and memoir comics, and I was hoping for a little something of both with this work. I certainly found those things, but I also found a comic rife with clichés and stories that I have already heard before, that have been told in so many ways they have entered the public consciousness. I found judgement and a lack of true introspection that might have turned that judgement around and led our narrator to some kind of real awakening instead of the half-hearted “maybe this is bad for me” that we get at the end of the book. There is no concern at all for the women that he has been dating; they all merely serve as some kind of reflection of what the narrator is going through.
Review: Little Witch Academia E.01
By Robert Ramos
When I found there was going to be a TV series of Little Witch Academia, I got fairly excited. I was pretty pleased with how the “movie” version turned out, even if was only 30 minutes and left a lot of openness. So does this TV adaptation hold true? Let’s find out, shall we!
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen E.02
By Shanel Kamara
This show is one that I will definitely not tire of watching. The explanation of how certain characters connect to the protagonists and their role in the preservation and development of rakugo is sound. I thought how minor character, Higuchi Eisuke from season one, who Yakumo - in his younger years - briefly encountered while on tour with his master, reappeared this season as a supporting character, was brilliant.
Image Reveals More Anniversary Covers
By Dustin Cabeal
Yeah I'm still not big on this idea. I mean the covers are fun and all, but it seems hypocritical for a publisher that's denounced the practice of variant covers to then celebrate it's anniversary with variant covers. Granted the industry doesn't seem to be able to come up with any other way to celebrate their anniversaries, but then also why the fuck do we need to celebrate it either?

Seven Seas Licenses Record of Lodoss War: The Grey Witch Novel
By Dustin Cabeal
Damn, I haven't thought about Record of Lodoss War in forever! I loved the name which has been copied hundreds of times since, but I never really fell in love with this franchise. It was just one of the few that made it to the States during a time we were just happy to get anything.

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.
