Dynamite Teases Something - Day 1

By Dustin Cabeal

Sigh... seriously comic industry. Ya gotta come up with better marketing. Don't, I repeat, don't take a page out of Marvel's marketing book because that's the worst one to copy. I'll admit, my heart skipped a beat reading the words "All thing end...", but probably not for the right reason. I was thinking Dynamite was getting bought or some shit, but instead... comic event. Yay, just what we need, another publisher doing a comic event... during the summer. See ya tomorrow for the next teaser.

Review: Slayer: Repentless #1

By Chris Tresson

Musicians and bands having their own comic books is nothing new in this industry. Bands having good comics, though? That's quite rare (see the latest KISS comic series. It's dog shit.) This one... I had a good feeling about this one.

I’m about to review the first issue of Slayer: Repentless, a three issue mini-series published by Dark Horse Comics. It’s a series based around the videos of thrash metal gods Slayer which were directed by BJ McDonnell, for songs from the album of the same name.

Review: Little Tulip

By Justin Wood

Earlier this year, I took to opportunity to see Martin Scorsese's Silence before it hit its wide release. The film, about a priest secretly infiltrating the Christian-persecuting country of Tokugawa-era Japan and enduring unfathomable torment and hardship for his choice, is, to say the least, an endurance test of misery, a beautiful film but a grueling experience. Dover Comic's new release Little Tulip, is similarly a grueling experience.

Review: The Goddamned vol. 1

By Daniel Vlasaty

The Goddamned is written by Jason Aaron, with art from R.M. Guera – the creative team behind one of my all-time favorite comics, Scalped. I was super excited when this book was announced, but I’m sad to say that I stopped reading it when it was first coming out due to its erratic release schedule, which was most likely because Jason Aaron’s been writing like a dozen books for Marvel on top of his creator-owned titles.

Review: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi E.03

By Shanel Kamara

 Before I delve into the review of this week’s episode of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, I would advise anyone who has not watched the previous season or the last two episodes, to watch them. This review will not contain any real spoilers, but in order to grasp what is going on, you need some knowledge of who the characters are and how they relate to one another. For instance, even though Yotarou is married to Konatsu, he insists on calling her “sis.” They are, in no way, related to one another. Moreover, they are not childhood friends.  I could go into a lot of detail about how these two met and so forth, but I will leave it to anyone who is interested in catching up by watching previous episodes.

Unboxing: Loot Crate - January 2017

By Dustin Cabeal

The theme this month should have been "comic books" since it was all comic book stuff... plus Mario Bros. because it's not a Loot Crate without something from Nintendo being in it. I think my favorite crate was last month because there wasn't any Nintendo shit in it. Anyway, you'd think that this one would be custom made for me but as usual, there was just that weird, dated bit of nerdom to this. A tiki glass? What the fuck am I going to do with that? I'm not going to collect them all that's for sure. A replica of Captain America's shield from the first Captain America film... that's the worst of the three! And it's the fake one he used for the play! Anyway, there was some okay stuff and some "what the fuck do I do with this" stuff. I am looking forward to the Loot Wear edition.

Preview: The Wild Storm #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Well... I just shit my pants a little. I know everyone and their mother had this yesterday and probably bored you with a regurgitation of Warren Ellis' newsletter. I'm not a news site. Not going to pretend I'm breaking this to you. I just post stuff I enjoy or when I have a comment on something. Here's my comment for this... god damn beautiful. I hope the story is good. It's Ellis. It's WildStorm... it should be good. I actually found an old WildStorm button I had gotten at SDCC... it made me sad that there's not more of it around. Still, can't wait until February 15th for this. Oh and I don't actually care about the variants, but I will likely pick this up in print.
