Review: The Wild Storm #1
By Dustin Cabeal
There has been a WildStorm shaped hole in my heart since the imprint started pushing out turds and was eventually shut done in favor of a shared universe of all of DC’s properties, which became the New 52. Sure, there were WildStorm characters, and sure, they were pretty interesting to see in the DCU, but it just wasn’t WildStorm.
Review: The Odyssey of the Amazons #2
By Jonathan Edwards
I was skeptical when I first heard about this series. Doing a prequel that focuses on some aspect of a story world before the introduction of their main character (in this case Wonder Woman) isn't an inherently bad idea. Although, I find the premises tend to be somewhat shaky. There's a threat of continuity, character motivations and developments, and even in-world logic being screwed up is all too real.
Review: The Nameless City: The Stone Heart
By Dustin Cabeal
While I enjoyed The Nameless City, which is the overall name for this trilogy and the first volume in the series, it never grabbed me. I didn’t fall in love with it in the way I have with other works from Faith Erin Hicks. What doesn’t help is that twice now the series has had a quote from an Avatar: The Last Airbender creator on it, which is exactly what this series makes me think about while reading it. The quote amplifies that unfortunately, which may be the reason I’m not in love with this series.

‘Arrrrrrrrm yourself with a whole new set of powerful encounters in this new expansion brought to you by Jamie Keddie, designer of the original Random Encounter card game.

Review: A Land Called Tarot
By Daniel Vlasaty
I had no idea what to expect when diving into this book. I picked it up based solely on the cover and the title, and that fact that it had been serialized in Island, although I didn’t find that out until I started doing a little research on the book. A Land of Tarot is a “silent” book, meaning there are no text bubbles or narration at all. The story is told only through the artwork.
Comic Bastards Podcast - 003
Hopefully, you're getting used to the bi-weekly schedule we have going for the new Comic Bastards Podcast. We're continuing to deliver a different type of show and with that comes an all review episode. We have a lot to talk about and we hope you'll listen and enjoy.
Betty Boop Animated Short... and Dress
I'm really just posting this because I love the animation, but one thing became clear to me when I sat down and read Dynamite's Betty Boop comic... it's a property that doesn't work in the modern era, and that's okay. There's a lot of that in comics, The Shadow, Man-Thing, there's others that are mostly Golden Age. My point is, they don't work in the world because they represent another time and that's okay. We can leave them there or just enjoy them as merchandise. The animation is pretty good for clearly having a small budget. The story makes no sense really, but whatever. I loved to look at it, but I don't know for how long that would last.
Marvel's Got A New Man-Thing To Look At... R.L. Stine Involved Too
I just want it noted that's not my headline. I wouldn't want you to look at a new man-thing, the current one you have or see is fine by me. Okay, it is my headline, but someone had to seriously think of a non-twelve-year-old way to write about "Man-Thing" and send that on a press release. Man-Thing, a character whose name only gets funnier with age... he's like a fine wine. Also, I don't care about this comic or that Marvel/the comic industry went out and got another novelist to write comics.

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.
