Viz Media Announces More Sailor Moon R: The Movie Screenings
By Dustin Cabeal
Ah yeah. They added L.A. Looks like I'll be going just to say that I went. Nah, I actually really want to see a Sailor Moon movie in the theater for some reason and I'm curious as to what the crowd will look like. Half movie watching, half people watching.
Review: Night's Dominion #5
By Laramie Martinez
Night’s Dominion has been moving away from what made me like its inaugural issue. This issue cements the transition from heist/dungeon crawl to superhero team up. The change, at least for me, is somewhat of a disappointment. I know that this comic was originally billed as having some capes and tights influences, but I feel like the mystery cult and the undead hordes as a potential threats were more appealing when they were underground instead of when they come out in the open. I can’t be mad at Naifeh though, it isn’t as though this change is abrupt. I’ve seen hints of it from the very first issue.
Review: Hand Shakers E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
The title alone was enough to make wonder if I should bother watching this anime. I mean “Hand Shakers” … it’s not that the concept of hand holding is lost on me. For the record, “Hand Holders” is an accurate title for this anime. I was once young and appreciated the intimacy of holding hands. It’s something that is lost on you as you get older and have more, wait for it, hands on time with the activity. Still, I can see how teenagers desperate for affection and unable to just push their tongues against each other would give a crap about holding hands. Not me, but the youth, right? A random stranger could come up and hold my hand right now, and I would give zero fucks… until my germaphobia kicked in and I scrubbed my hand the rest of the day.
Review: Black Hammer Giant-Sized Annual #1
By Chris Tresson
I was very much looking forward to reviewing this book. As I'm probably not going to get another shot at reviewing any Black Hammer for Comic Bastards (Laramie Martinez has reviewed the series for CB thus far and I don't see him giving it up anytime soon!) I thought I'd take a shot at this giant-sized annual... This is my review of the Black Hammer Giant-Sized Annual, in stores this week from Dark Horse Comics.
Review: The Wicked Righteous #1
By Laramie Martinez
If you’re considering reading The Wicked Righteous, I’m going to assume you are a fan of the post-apocalyptic genre. As a fan, you will probably be familiar with most of the themes in this issue. References to the rapture, flashbacks of a world descending into chaos, and a mysterious disease are all familiar tropes. What separates The Wicked Righteous from its fellow day after doomsday stories is its focus on the children of the apocalypse. This perspective was what initially drew me to the book. Unfortunately, inconsistent pacing made the issue feel like it was trying too hard to create tension and drama between characters. For the rest of my review take a look below.
Jupiter Jet - A 16-Year-Old Girl With A Jet Pack!
By Dustin Cabeal
Alright, alright, I know I said I wouldn't do any more kickstarters, but hey... every now and again I'm going to find one that needs to be pushed or cool people to support. I don't know much about Jupiter Jet that isn't in the video below or the press release that follows, but I do know one of the writer's (Jason Inman) and he's a hell of a dude. Check out the Kickstarter by heading to www.jupiterjetcomic.com and support the book if you're interested.

Review: Interviews With Monster Girls E.02
By Dustin Cabeal
This series got a bit better with this episode, but it also confirmed my fears about the show. It’s a harem comedy for sure, but the concerning issue is that it’s about an older male teacher and three students. That’s probably the one thing I don’t like about it, the romantic aspect.
Review: Fuuka E.03
By Dustin Cabeal
I’ll stick with reading the manga. Honestly, I’ll continue to watch this show, but I’ve given up on it being any good. The pacing is so rushed that the relationships are forced rather than naturally brought together. We’re on episode three, and they’re already at the summer job and formed the band.
Review: The Time Museum
By Dustin Cabeal
This is probably going to be one of my shorter reviews for a graphic novel based on a few things. The first being that if you don’t like time travel stories, then you shouldn’t bother reading this one. It’s a brilliant homage to the genre, and while creator Matthew Loux manages to tweak everything just enough to be its own, it’s hard to ignore the influences completely… but then that’s also what’s fun and entertaining about The Time Museum.
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: Batman #15
By Daniel Vlasaty
Batman is supposed to be transporting Selina Kyle to Blackgate Penitentiary to serve out her sentence of life without parole for the murder of 237 people, but instead, they are having sex on a random Gotham rooftop.

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.
