Review: Weekly Shonen Jump no. 11

By Dustin Cabeal

Much like last week I’ll be looking at and scoring the individual stories that I read from this volume. I will continue to skip things I don’t read (One Piece) or have determined I no longer want to read (RWBY). That said, it’s pretty cool to be checking out new properties. I have no idea if they’re even still going in Japan or how much of a difference there is between them, but it’s cool either way. With that, let's dive right into U19!

Review: Dead Inside #3

By Chris Tresson

Welcome to my review of the third issue of John Arcudi and Toni Fejzula’s Dead Inside, out this week from Dark Horse Comics. The last two issue of this series have been pretty interesting but this time around I’m really hoping that the story kicks in a bit more… I need to know what the fuck is going on here. Let’s see what I thought of Dead Inside #3.

There Can Be Only One: BOOM! Studios (2/15/17)

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s been a while since I had the time to do a There Can Be Only One, that and for the past month, there hasn’t been much that I wanted to suffer through in order to complete one of these. Since I haven’t done BOOM! Studios yet I waited for a week of their popular titles and pulled the trigger. What happens next will amaze you… just kidding, but here are reviews for all of their releases this week including in alphabetical order: Adventure Time Comics #8, Kong of Skull Island vol. 1 and issue #8, Lumberjanes #35, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #12, The Deep #2, The Killer vol. 5 and WWE #2.

Review: Street Tiger #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I doubt I’ll be able to describe Street Tiger better than the cover: “A weird revenge thriller” is as about as perfect of a description as possible. Ertito Montana’s four issue mini-series Street Tiger is definitely weird, but the type of weird I enjoy the hell out of in comics.

Review: Batwoman: Rebirth #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

I’ll admit I’m not all that familiar with Batwoman as a character. I’ve read a few things with her and I know the gist of her origin and past, and this book is basically just a recap of all of that. Page by page, little flashes of Kate Kane’s life. Leading up to her becoming Batwoman. It’s interesting and has me intrigued to keep reading but that’s all that there really was with this issue. The last page reveal has me decently excited to check out the next issue.

Review: Super Sons #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The creative team behind Super Sons might not have wanted or expected me to read and review this title. If they are familiar with my reviews it’s likely that seeing one from me is scary (at least I’ve been told that multiple times… multiple times). Listen, I didn’t expect to read this either, but curiosity got the best of me. I had no intention of reviewing it either unless it spoke to me in some way. I suppose that means it did since you’re here reading my review for Super Sons #1 which was surprisingly great. Let me repeat that, Super Sons #1, was surprisingly great.

Review: The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari #1

By Jonathan Edwards

I've spent some time wracking my brain in attempt to figure out who exactly this book is for. If you're unfamiliar, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a German silent horror film from 1920. It's frequently identified as a paramount of the German Expressionist movement in film that had arisen in Germany just before the beginning of World War I. These films (another example being F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu) went on to be highly influential throughout cinema history, including being one of the key aspects in the development of Film Noir. It's a very important film. However, it's also only important as a film. There's no good reason to adapt it into a comic book nearly a hundred years after the film's release. It'd be like giving Citizen Kane the same treatment. Yeah, you could do it, but it'd be an ultimately worthless gesture.

Review: Sink #1

By Dustin Cabeal

If I wanted to, I could name two movies and infer that Sink is in several ways the love child of the two movies and it would be enough to convince you of not only the quality but the excitement that is Sink. I could do that, but we’re talking about a comic, and quite frankly I have never read anything like Sink before. Perhaps I’ll tell you the name of the movies at the end of the review, and if you’re so inclined, you can jump to the end and call it a day. If you stay, well then that means you must love comics and are dying to know about ComixTribe’s newest title.

Review: Kill or Be Killed #6

By Daniel Vlasaty

Issue #5 ended on a cliffhanger, and issue #6 picks up right where it left off. Still in the bathroom. Still with Dylan’s shotgun pointed at some cops. It’s a tense stand-off, but it’s downplayed by Dylan’s detached, kind of blasé narration.

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.
