Dark Horse Announces "Berger Books" From Karen Berger

By Dustin Cabeal

Okay, I'll be the one to say it. That name sucks. I get it, it's her name and there's nothing to be done about that, but Berger Books sounds like "Burger Books" and let's be honest that's not a great title unless you're being goofy. Otherwise, I'm not excited about this until a book is announced. The reason being is that I read Surgeon X and it was one of the worst things I've read... and Karen Berger edited that book. I'm not going to judge prematurely, but I'm also not going to get hyped prematurely either.

Funko Comic Book Universe... Is Now A Thing

By Dustin Cabeal

So... toys of pop culture nerdom are now a comic book... of the same pop culture nerdom? Why would anyone do this? Rhetorical, it's money. The question is why would anyone buy it? Rhetorical again, because IDW has some of the loyalist fans with the loosest wallets... that's not a compliment by the way.

Misfit City Announced - You Had Me At "The Writer of 10 Things I Hate About You"

By Dustin Cabeal

Seriously, like most people my age I like 10 Things I Hate About You. Okay, maybe not most guys since I've yet to meet another dude that didn't just watch the movie because of a woman he was dating, but I legit like the film. I don't, however, care for a movie writer working on comic books. While this gave me tingles of nostalgia for movie reasons, it's not exciting my comic buttons just yet. I'll wait until I read it, though.

Super S - Anime Podcast E.019

By Dustin Cabeal

As always, you'll need to head to our podcast dedicated page to actually listen to the episode, but here's what you're missing!

E.019 - Today on the show we talk about shirts! That's right, everyone got new shirts. After that's its anime talk and a genre recommendation. Also you'll have to excuse us because Lindsay has a cold or the flu or something and I just butcher words... constantly.

Reveiw: Night's Dominion #6

By Laramie Martinez

It’s been a fun ride, but the first arc of Night’s Dominion ends with this issue. Overall I give the series a solid 4. It’s a different take on the superhero genre, with a touch of fantasy and dungeon crawling characters. This issue doesn’t have too many surprises, if you’ve been reading until now I think you had a pretty good idea who the big bad will be. Even so it was good to see everyone teaming up to dish out some fantasy ass kicking.

Review: Moby Dick

By Laramie Martinez

Three years ago this month I read Moby Dick for the first time. As a former English major it was one of those books which you had to read to have any sort of respect in the eyes of older English scholars. It’s a strange, wonderful book, surprisingly funny and informative (granted most of the information is outdated whale facts) and it was one of the best things I read that year. Naturally, when I saw dark horse coming out with their adaptation by Christophe Chaboute, I knew this one was going to be one of my reviews for the week.

DC Teases DC/Looney Tunes Crossover, Because Money

By Dustin Cabeal

I can see the logic behind this, you have access to the property so why not pull a Hanna-Barbera and mash it up all adult like. I won't lie, this is great as fan art or even variant covers if you must, but seeing this in practice and for it to be a growing practice is worrisome. It reminds me of my recent "Unpopular Comic Opinion" that you can listen to here. Just a lot of licensed crap this week and I'm sure we'll see more of this when they're ready to show it.
