Review: Empowered and the Solider of Love #1

By Laramie Martinez

You all should know, I have never read Empowered. Yes, I have heard of it and I have read many an article about it, but I have never actually picked up a copy. Maybe it was because I thought of it as essentially bondage hentai, , it’s free on the internet. But with Empowered and the Soldier of Love I finally took the plunge. And I while I still have no idea what Emp’s super suit does, I still had a good time. Check out my full review below.

Review: Death be Damned #1

By Laramie Martinez

I’m a big fan of Ben Acker’s and Ben Blacker’s The Thrilling Adventure Hour so when I saw they were teaming up with Andrew Miller for a comic, I knew I was going to pick it up. I’ve only seen their humorous side, but I was excited to see what they would do with grittier subject matter in Death be Damned. Taking place in the 1870s in WY, this is a classic western revenge tale which, while disjointed at times, allows for some interesting takes on the western, the Frankenstein story, and supernatural dark fantasy. Check out my full review below.

Review: Exodus #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I’m going to grind out a pet peeve of mine on this review. I hate the title “Exodus.” I don’t care if it perfectly illustrates the theme of the story (which it does), it’s just a title that carries with it a lot of baggage that no story needs. It lacks creativity, and for me, it's a sure-fire way to get me to avoid your book. I say this not because you should avoid Tres Calaveras Exodus, but rather the opposite. Though, in all honesty, if this hadn’t been sent to me for review, I wouldn’t have read it because of the title. And I know that’s stupid, but it’s my pet peeve. So, if you’re sitting on your own “Exodus” comic to send me for review… tread lightly.

Review: Rurouni Kenshin 3-in-1 vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

I have never read or watched anything related to Rurouni Kenshin, which is probably why I was willing to read three volumes all at once. Which was honestly a mistake and I should have paced myself, but hey… I make this damn mistake all the time, so I’m clearly never going to learn from it. Anyway, it was my first dip into the pool.

Review: So Cute It Hurts!! vol. 11

By Dustin Cabeal

If you send it, I will read it and review it. That’s basically why I’m back for more So Cute It Hurts!! The last volume was my first experience with the series, and while it wasn’t terrible, I knew it wasn’t for me. It still isn’t in case you were wondering.
