I liked this better when it was the X-O Manowar suit. Also, at least when Valiant did it they A) got a good artist not the guy that does cereal boxes and B) showed actual people wearing the uniforms that they sponsored. Lastly, why can't the dudes dress like Captain Marvel and the ladies dress like Captain America? Seems like that would be cool too.

I'll probably check it out... what? What else do you want me to say? Read the press release.

Okay... the cover can handle all the names, but that was my first thought when looking at them all crammed together at the top. Seems to be a lot of fantasy series coming from Image... is it their new Dystopian Future!?!

I'm not going to lie... that's a weird title. It's also by Donny Cates who's writing I enjoy. Garry Brown's never done me wrong either so this definitely seems like something I'll check out. I'm not a big Buffy fan though so that raises my eyebrow a little. We'll see.

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.

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.

We actually have a great interview/review of Teeter Topple that you can read here. I highly recommend you do because you'll likely want to pre-order the book afterward. Support indie people.

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, I think this is where I get off the train on Haikyu!! in manga form. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really good, but once you’ve watched as much of the anime as I have, it really lacks in comparison. To the point that even this conclusion to what was the first season of the show, just didn’t have the same power.

By Dustin Cabeal

This is review is going to be a little different. You see, I just got a subscription to Weekly Shonen Jump when it was on sale for ten bucks, before that I hand never read an issue. When I started reading, I discovered that several of the series inside were titles that I was reading in trade. This put me in an awkward spot because I don’t want to read ahead nor do I want to be stuck waiting for chapters over and over.

Y'know, after the utter suckage of Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern #1, this crossover doesn't seem so bad. I mean, it's still not good, but at least it's not insultingly pandering. And to be fair, I did enjoy Justice League/Power Rangers #2 more than the first issue, if only marginally. There's a bit more going on, and we actually see the entirety of the Justice League this time around. Also, for better or worse, we no longer primarily focus on Zack's perspective, instead jumping around to different members of each super team. And while it's nice to get a broader perspective of these events, it also draws more attention to the story flaws persisting from the first issue.

By Jonathan Edwards

Well, here we are. After all the buildup of several weeks, four one-shots, and the entirety of the Justice League vs. Suicide Squad limited series, we get to see it all come together. This is a book I've been somewhat eager to read for a little while now, and it's only in part because I liked overall what writer Steve Orlando was doing with those aforementioned one-shots. My interest has been piqued ever since I first saw the team line-up. Batman, Black Canary, The Atom, Vixen, The Ray, Killer Frost, and Lobo of all people? It's a strange enough mash-up of characters that I couldn't help but be intrigued as to how the character and team dynamics might play out. And, it was out of that interest that I opted to first call Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth #1 for review.  One of my big curiosities going in to this issue was how it might integrate and/or build off of what was established in its immediate predecessors. Unfortunately, Orlando didn't end up doing too much of that.
