DC Reveals More Hanna-Barbera, Including Creepy Looking Snagglepuss
By Dustin Cabeal
What. The. Fuck. Is. That? Listen, the Hanna-Barbera comics have been some of the few licensed cash-ins I haven't minded because they're just so fucking weird and clearly not for children. Only a few haven't sucked and this next line-up gives me almost zero hope for the rest of the line. Howard Chaykin? Pass. Harley Quinn writers? Pass. Dan DiDio? Hard pass. Then there's Snagglepuss... it's just so fucking creepy looking, but I think I might have to read it.

Review: Planetoid: Praxis #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Having enjoyed the first volume of Planetoid, I was actually pretty excited about creator Ken Garing’s return to the world. I, of course, had some reservations about the story, would it hold up to the first volume, is a worthy addition to the universe or is it just a sequel for sequel sake? Most of these of these questions were answered by Garing in an interview I did with him prior to the release of Praxis, but there’s nothing like reading it for yourself.
Review: Vampirella #0
By Chris Tresson
This week I'm reviewing Vampirella #0 from Dynamite Entertainment... It's a new series for the character, and it's being written by Paul Cornell and drawn by Jimmy Broxton. I am not the biggest fan of Vampirella (I think the last time I read an issue of Vampirella, I tore it to shreds... it was terrible and I haven't gone back to the character since.) and I am not really that big of a fan of Zero issues… But I'm stuck for things to review this week, so I have decided to give this one a go. Let's see what I thought of it…
Review: Is’nana: The Were-Spider vol. 1
By Dustin Cabeal
Is’nana is a weird story. There were parts of it that were very enjoyable and made me want to read more and other parts that could have easily made me put the issue down. It’s rough around the edges and a lot longer than it needs to be. The main story works and is interesting on its own, but everything after that was hard to follow and worse, made me forget what it was that I was reading.
Review: Parent/Guardian
By Dustin Cabeal
There was an eerie feeling that I had read or seen this story before, but for the life of me, I can’t place it. To give myself a piece of mind I settled on the potential fact that it could just be wearing its influences on its sleeve.
Review: Atlantis: The Last Survivor #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Atlantis: The Last Survivor is proof that great art can elevate the most average of stories. I know that’s a bit of a slam, but there are a lot of problems with Atlantis’ story. The first being that there’s only a vague impression of what the story is about after reading it. It doesn’t even reveal much of the story until the final pages in which it rushes to a cliffhanger. Until then it spent a lot of time being vague, rushing to through character development and trying to be clever.
Review: A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #12
By Jonathan Edwards
A couple of years back, the digital comic book distributor Comixology had a special promotion, where a bundle of about 26 first issues was completely free for the day. I was lucky enough to notice the email from them before it was too late and got the books. Included was Archer & Armstrong #1 from the 2012 ongoing series. I'd never her of the original series, so that was my first experience with the eponymous characters. As far as I recall, it was a pretty enjoyable read, and I intended to pick up a trade at some point. And then, I never actually went and did that. So when I found out that Valiant was doing A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong, I opted to pick up the first issue as soon as it came out. About a year later, here's the last issue.
Review: Batman #16
By Daniel Vlasaty
Let me first say that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to review Batman this month. As you know, if you read my review of Batman #15, I was not a fan of that issue. I didn’t like it, but I do feel like I might have been needlessly hard on it in my review. But this issue is the first issue in a new arc (called I Am Bane) so I figured I’d give it a shot.
Review: One-Punch Man vol. 11
By Dustin Cabeal
I had quite a few problems with the tenth volume of One-Punch Man, and some of that is echoed in this volume. There is a lot of improvement even if there’s still too much of a dependency on “Bonus” stories to keep the thickness of the volume consistent.
Review: Lost Girls #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Lost Girls follows three women that live in a jungle environment populated by dinosaurs. It’s not clear if these stories are taking place in the same shared world or even the same timeline. For all intent and purposes, it comes across as three stories about three different women of the jungle. That’s how it comes across at least; there is a “Next Time” box that seems to imply that our three women will team up in the next issue… which is not where I want to get that information from.
Review: Snow Day
By Dustin Cabeal
Snow Day is one of those stories that you can love, but at the same time acknowledge its flaws. Its flaws don’t make it bad, but rather they just point out how familiar the story is.
Review: The Spirit: The Corpse Makers #1
By Chris Tresson
This week I’m going to be reviewing The Spirit: The Corpse Maker #1 which is wrtten and drawn by Fransceso Francavilla for Dynamite entertainment. Having read the previous Spirit series from Dynamite (written by Matt Wagner with art by Dan Schkade)and I quite enjoyed it, so I was quite happy to see that they were putting out another another Spirit series. I was happy at first, and then I saw Francesco Francavilla’s name attached to it, decided I was completely in and here we are. This is my review of the first issue.
Review: The Escort #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The Escort seems to be capitalizing on a trend that’s already fading… powerful women with bows and arrows. The title also feels a bit misleading in that the average comic reader isn’t going to think of the main character as someone who escorts people, but as someone who “escorts” people. I raised an eyebrow wondering what exactly I had been sent for review.
Review: Seekers into the Mystery
By Laramie Martinez
Last week I was able to get a hold of a copy of Seekers into the Mystery. Written by J. M. Dematteis and drawn by various artists, the book seemed to be the natural follow-up to Dematteis’ Moonshadow which I had read earlier this month. It is another one of his “big question” stories, following a struggling screenwriter named Lucas Hart living in Los Angeles as he tries to cope with the memories of his traumatic childhood.
Review: Australi #1
By Dustin Cabeal
When I read the email that the creators sent with this issue, I’ll admit that I didn’t find it interesting and that made it difficult to sit down and give it a fair chance. I started it and quit it a few times, but then one day for whatever reason I stuck with it… I kicked myself for not giving it a chance sooner because I found exactly the type of indie comics I enjoy reading.
