Two Words: Tradd Moore - Preview Venom #150
By Dustin Cabeal
It might just be a page, but fucking hell is it a good looking page. I would read all kinds of Venom with Tradd Moore on the series. Too bad there wouldn't be a story worthy of his talent, but we'll see what Costa's got. Also remember when Brook had cancer and the symbiote could only do one more bond and Spider-Man tricked it into bonding with Brock and sentenced both of them to death? Yeah, me neither I guess.

Youngblood All Up In Your Wallet
By Dustin Cabeal
The art says "buy me," but the writer's credits say "pass." I'm not going to lie; I'll read this because more than likely Image will provide us with a copy to read. Gun to the head I wouldn't buy it, though, Liefeld's got enough cash, why give him more? Doesn't matter who's actually doing the work.
Check Out Sundance Selection "Black Holes"
By Dustin Cabeal
I've been waiting to talk about this animated short from Noodles Studio. Frankly, I love the look and design. They've released their 12 minute proof of concept film that was premiered at Sundance, for free. Now, they are asking for support, and if you like what you see, you can head over here and support them a couple of different ways. If you like animation, then you should definitely check it out and consider kicking them a few bucks if you can. Otherwise, just enjoy the film, I did and would like to see more Black Holes or at least more from Noodles Studio.

Dark Horse Is Doing More Of That Manga From That Franchise I Don't Understand
By Dustin Cabeal
Is it a manga? An anime? What the fuck is this property other than just pin-up art that's taken on a life of its own? I do not understand what Hatsune Miku is and I don't really care to find out. But I'm sure someone let a little pee out at this announcement, so you're welcome or something.
Review: Rough Riders: Riders of the Storm #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Originally, I was going to read and review the first volume of Rough Riders prior to reading the new series. That was before I decided to read and mini-review every IDW title this week. I didn’t want to miss out on the new series, and so I did what I’ve done a hundred times before and start a series on the second volume.
Review: The Few #2
By Jonathan Edwards
By the end of The Few #2, my overall impression of the series had changed somewhat. Now looking back, the first issue kind of feels like more of a prologue than the actual start of the story. It moved kind of slow, and, more than anything else, it provided setup for certain characters and circumstances so they can be easily developed in greater detail later. But at the same time, it doesn't feel like a requirement to read in order to pick up and understand this issue. Anything really integral to the story is reiterated, and Lewis does a fine job working it in without it feeling too clumsy.
Review: The Big Bad Fox
By Dustin Cabeal
The Big Bad Fox was everything I thought it would be. I called the ending by the tenth page, but I also realized that it didn’t matter that I knew how it was going to end. What mattered was whether the story could still be good despite me knowing where it was going. I’m happy to say, that it was better than good, it was great.
Review: Hook Jaw #3
By Chris Tresson
Greetings, Chum! We’re about to dive into my review of the third issue of Titan Comics’ Hook Jaw miniseries, written by Simon Spurrier and drawn by Conor Boyle. It’s been pretty good so far and we’re over halfway through with this one, so the finish is in sight… Let’s find out if it’s any good.
There Can Be Only One: IDW Publishing (2/22/17)
By Dustin Cabeal
I’ll be honest, I’ve avoiding doing this for IDW because I don’t enjoy the majority of their titles and didn’t want to suffer through them. I figured that this was a good week to go through them all since they had so many new titles and one of those new titles is Highlander, which is where the title of this review derives.
2000 AD Hits Its 40th Birthday
The legendary British weekly comic 2000 AD hits four decades of continuous publication – and today marks its 40th birthday!
Review: She Wolf #6
By Jonathan Edwards
Let me start by saying that, after reading this, last issue's "part 2" feels even more pointless. I thought that its inclusion meant two parallel stories going on, meaning that this month we'd get a "part 3" following Lizzie and a "part 4" jumping back to whatever was going on with those other characters I don't care about. So you can imagine my surprise when that didn't happen, and in its place we get a completely disconnected short one-shot about a guy who sells corpses to a doctor for research or whatever. And yet, as far as I'm concerned, that actually worked way better. The logic is simple; instead of changing practically everything but telling us it's (somehow) still part of the story, we get two distinct stories for the price of one. And with that short rant completed, the review may now commence.
Review: The Old Guard #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
What do you do if you’re an immortal warrior? Not much you can do, so you go on fighting, hoping that your next fight, your next war, your next job will be the one that finally brings you death.
Review: Curse Words #2
By Dustin Cabeal
After reading Patrick’s review for the first issue, my interest was certainly piqued. I used to read a lot of titles from Charles Soule, but his big two stuff hasn’t interested me in the least bit. His return to Image and teaming with Ryan Browne got my attention.
Review: Justice League of America #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I'm disappointed. After all the buildup (which I've already talked about at length in my reviews of all five JLA: Rebirth one-shots), I was at least expecting a more intricately build plot from the main book. Instead, we got this. I really have to wonder what point there is in having full issues devoted to setting up characters, when very little of what was in them carries over. I guess one would have slightly more context for the clumsy exposition when it's still thrown in, but that's negligible and inapplicable to those already familiar with the characters. Honestly, I'm amazed how lackluster this turned out to be. I went from "hopeful of the possibilities presented by this team up" to "might not even keep reading" in one issue.
Review: The Belfry
By Chris Tresson
Hello there and welcome to my review of The Belfry, a one-shot comic which is being released by Image Comics this week. Belfry is written and drawn by Gabriel Hardman, a man whose work I’m not entirely a stranger to. I’d seen Gabriel talking about this on Twitter and thought it looked interesting so when I found out it was out this week, I decided I was going to review it for Comic Bastards. Here we go…
Review: Deathstroke #13
By Dustin Cabeal
Ah, cover interaction. Remember when that was special? And then Marvel had five covers every week with it, and DC was soon to follow? Well since I gave up reading Marvel and DC until recently, it’s now become special again! Maybe it’s just the fact that I like this book and the kick looks like collateral damage, like a lamp being knocked off in a fight.

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.
