Review: Decelerate Blue

By Dustin Cabeal

Often when I’m reviewing a comic, it’s an intricate dance of scales. Whatever side ends up with the most weight on it effects the review the most and ultimately decides the score. Decelerate Blue sat in the middle for most of my reading. For everything cool or interesting it did, it managed to do an equal amount of disinterest.

Review: Divinity III: Aric, Son of the Revolution #1

By Dustin Cabeal

To start with I haven’t read any of Divinity III, in fact, I haven’t even read Divinity II. I saw all these one-shots that came across very Flashpoint inspired in which it was just a quick look at what the characters in the Valiant Universe would be doing in the “Stalinverse” and thought, well that could be fun. It should have been fun.

Review: Tomie

By Dustin Cabeal

I read a lot of different genres regularly, but lately, I haven’t had much in the way of horror to enjoy. What little I have read, has been disappointing or amateurish copies of other stories. Along came Tomie by Junji Ito to shake that trend.

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: Kill or be Killed #5

By Daniel Vlasaty

This issue starts with a bang. And ends with a bang, too. Like the rest of Kill or be Killed, this issue starts off at the same place it ends. Brubaker tells us what is going to happen right away and then spends the rest of the issue explaining how it came to happen. You’d think this would get tiring after a while, but it still works here.

Review: WWE #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Same as it ever was… same as it ever was. What the fuck are they talking about in that song because it’s not the new WWE comic from BOOM! Studios, though it does apply to it. If you enjoyed that weird one-shot that BOOM! did just to test the waters or have something to sell at Comic Con, then you’ll be happy to see this first issue.

Review: The Few #1

By Jonathan Edwards

When I first read Image's description for this book, I wasn't all that interested. "Post-apocalyptic," much like with zombies, is a subgenre I don't tend to inherently like, and it didn't seem like there'd be much else that I'd be excited for. However, the writer is Sean Lewis, who I am somewhat familiar with from his last series, Saints. It followed Blaise, Lucy, Sebastian, and later Stephen, all of which are the reincarnations of Christian saints and granted superpowers based on the attributes of those saints. It was a premise I was super into, and the covers were great, styled after Eastern Orthodox icons. Even if it did go a bit downhill after the first few issues, Lewis still brought some interesting ideas to the table. So, I was curious to see what he might do this with this one.

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.

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.
