Unboxing: Loot Anime – January 2017
By Dustin Cabeal
This one is fast and dirty people! I was looking forward to this one. It was okay. Nothing too exciting and I hate light novels or whatever this thing is. Otherwise, it wasn't bad. I guess I just need to get more familiar with the brands so that I do get a nosebleed when these arrive... I should just check out one of the other subscription boxes... I do that instead.
Preview: Slasher #1
Meet Christina, a data-entry specialist in her early twenties. Seemingly timid and plain to her coworkers she harbors dangerous urges. A lion of sexual violence bubbles just below the surface. The only soul she shares these feelings with is a terminal boy named Joshua in a wheelchair that lives several states away.
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!

By Dustin Cabeal

Disney/Marvel Get A Real Video Game Company For New Avengers Game
By Dustin Cabeal
There's a lot of potential here given that it's Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics working on an Avengers video game. We have to brace ourselves for two and a half years of Tomb Raider comparisons, but other than that I have high hopes for this not sucking given that it's a publisher that makes good games, on a budget and mostly on time. No offense to anything Disney Interactive, but was there a timeline? It seemed like shit came out whenever was clever and that rarely works for the video game world.

By Dustin Cabeal

Review: Chaos;Child E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
What the fuck is up with shows having a “semi-colon” in the title? Grammatically, that doesn’t make any sense, and as a reviewer, it’s annoying. If I had known what Chaos;Child was about I would never have watched in the first place; I struggled through it so that I could write a review that had some level of competency.
Review: Youjo Senki E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
There’s a much longer conversation to have about Japanese animation and its enjoyment of using World War II German in stories. That place isn’t here, but I don’t personally like when stories create alternate worlds in which World War II Germany isn’t the bad guy. I don’t buy it. I don’t care if it’s a story and fantasy and whatever excuse that you want to make to justify it to yourself, but for me, it’s dangerous and irresponsible. Don’t rewrite the history books for the sake of fantasy.
Review: Fuuka E.04
By Dustin Cabeal
Yeah, I’m done reviewing this show. This episode’s pacing is deliberately slow. It lingers to the point of being annoying, and it’s all to build the love triangle. Which spoiler, doesn’t fucking matter in the end. The love triangle is a façade, and so it’s even more perplexing that they’re focusing on it so much. Unless they plan to ignore the biggest event of the series, which if they do will ruin the point of the show.
UDON Entertainment reveals STREET FIGHTER VS. DARKSTALKERS #1 covers
By Dustin Cabeal
I'm still pretty excited about this. I have no doubt that it'll be better than Street Fighter x G.I. Joe and at the very least the art will be amazing because it's Udon.
VIZ Media's WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP Holds Live Stream Event THIS Friday 1/27
By Dustin Cabeal
Okay, Weekly Shonen Jump for only ten bucks for the year? Yeah, I've been meaning to buy a subscription and now I'm totally going to do this. I already set a calendar reminder that's how damn serious I am. The 30th! Don't miss it! Oh and the livestream as well.
Meredith Finch and Ig Guara Launch New High Fantasy in "Rose"
By Dustin Cabeal
I'm going to reserve judgment on this title. My first thoughts were that it was generic as fuck sounding and that using Meredith Finch's Wonder Woman writing to market it was a bad idea. I've yet to hear anyone say that was a good time in WW's life. But, how many creators have been there and turned it around at Image? We'll see. I'll give Rose an honest shot and hope that it can surprise me.
Review: Ether #3
By Laramie Martinez
I’m going to run this review backwards this time. For those of you who have read issues 1 & 2, you know that Ether usually ends with a flashback of Boone’s past. The structure itself is not surprising, typically in comics, as in most entertainment media, there are main plots and a subplot. With the main plots being the reason you read the book or watch the show, and the subplot being something fun or interesting on the side. In the case of Ether, however, I am just as intrigued by Boone’s past, as I am with his current mystery.
Review: Deathstroke #11
By Dustin Cabeal
If you had told me that Deathstroke was taking on the gun violence issues of Chicago, well I probably would have skipped this issue. It’s a good thing I read comics, not solicits.

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.
