Review: Supergirl: Being Super #2
By Jonathan Edwards
I went into Supergirl Being Super eager to become more familiar with the title character. With the first issue, I wasn't completely satisfied with the pace and characterization, and I wasn't hooked by the end. When I was looking at this week's releases to review, I was initially planning on skipping this one. I don't think I even intended to check it own for my own personal reading. I don't really have a good reason for why I ultimately had a change of heart, but I'm glad that I did. The main thing I was worried about last time was the potential for it to continue at a plodding pace, but this issue has removed that reservation. And while that doesn't necessarily make the first issue better, it does increase my enthusiasm for the series as a whole.
Review: Loose Ends #2
By Daniel Vlasaty
I like good crime fiction. I read it, I write it, I watch it. I am a fan of the genre because I believe that it shows up what a person is made of. It breaks right through all the bullshit and shows you the true nature of a person, what’s really in his or her mind and heart. Loose Ends is right up there with the best of them. It’s a book with a lot of characters and they’re all after something else (though we as the readers aren’t given all the information on what that may or may not be yet). Plus, it’s a beautiful book that’s gritty and violent, everything I look for in the genre.

Valiant Teases ICONS
By Dustin Cabeal
I feel sorry for all those sites that right for the SEO and that will have to come up with like 550 words to make this teaser worth it. I don't have shit to say. There's nothing to say other than yes, those are their biggest brands at the moment. We'll wait for more.
Titan Is Making A Comic Based On A Board Game

Dynamite Entertainment introduces an all-new take on the icon of espionage in an upcoming oversized special written by Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Star Wars: Darth Vader) and drawn by Antonio Fuso (Torchwood, Drive)!
Review: Batman #17
By Daniel Vlasaty
Batman #17 is the second issue of the “I am Bane” storyline. Issue #16 had a more light and comedic tone (except for the last page), and there is a definite tonal change from that issue to this one. Here it is back to business as usual as Batman continues to prepare for the coming of Bane.
Review: Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu: Sukeroku Futatabi-hen E.07
By Shanel Kamara
It's official; I am completely hooked on Shouwa! I loved the unexpected twist this episode. I knew the death of Konatsu’s parents was a delicate matter that weighed heavily on the characters minds, particularly Konatsu who blamed Yakuma for the demise of her father and Yakumo who blamed himself for not being able to save Konatsu’s parents despite being in such close proximity to them. However, I never suspected that the truth regarding the manner in which they died was different to what actually happened.
Titan Publishing "The Death of Stalin"
By Dustin Cabeal
I'm already looking forward to the sequel, The Death of Putin... by Natural Causes of Course!
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.
Tekken Comic Book Creative Team Announced
By Dustin Cabeal
Ah man, I think I'm going to be stupid and pre-order this game. I mean, Akuma... come on! As for the comic, I'll read it, but I won't pretend to be excited. I've read Tekken comics before and they were shit; now I have lowered expectations.
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.
Dark Horse Announces "Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact"
Dark Horse welcomes the first OGN from up-and-coming Portland creators Matt Mair Lowery and Cassie Anderson (creator of the web comic An Ordinary Princess). Their unique sci-fi adventure Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact is slated for release on September 6, 2017.
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.
VIZ Media Delivers Home Media Release Of HUNTER X HUNTER SET 2 On Blu-ray & DVD

Titan Publishing Bandai/Namco "Little Nightmares" Comic
By Dustin Cabeal
Oh what a world we live in. We don't even have to play the game in order to get tie-in material! I'm sure this comic will answer any deep rooted question you have about the game or something of that nature. I won't know, I don't know what the fuck the game is nor do I want to read a comic based on a video game in general.

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.
