Review: X-O Manowar v2 #1
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s fair to say that in this new volume of X-O Manowar, Aric gives zero fucks. His fucks are in the red so much that the “fucks” bank might be foreclosing on his ass. Don’t misunderstand Aric’s lack of giving of fuck as a negative point on this comic. Instead, it's rather refreshing and amazing.
Review: Chain Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari E.01
By Shanel Kamara
Hmmm, so admittedly, I was going to write another review of this week’s episode of Shouwa, but in the end, I decided against it. Sometimes it's good to change things up and Chains Chronicle: Haecceitas no Hikari - an anime rendition of the role-playing game produced by the illustrious video game company, Sega, available on the Android and PlayStation Vita, was just the ticket. Honestly, out of all the genres, fantasy is probably at the bottom of my list when it comes to selecting what type of anime to watch. For some reason, I just find most fantasy shows to be too predictable or conventional, even when the plot line is supposedly unique and original. Fantasy shows tend to cast females in subordinate roles despite being as strong as their male peers are and the heroes tend to be predominantly young males of ordinary descent. However, now and again it is good to set aside one's preconceptions and give these things the benefit of the doubt.

Project Superpowers: Hero Killers Coming In May
Since 2007, Dynamite Entertainment has been the home to many of the Golden Age of Comics' greatest heroes -- characters like Black Terror, the Green Lama, the Death-Defying Devil, Masquerade, The Owl, and dozens more -- in the pages of Project Superpowers. Industry legends like Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, and Warren Ellis were among the many exceptional talents to reimagine these heroes for a modern audience, frequently in epic storylines with intense interpersonal intrigue and world-spanning stakes. Now, Dynamite welcomes aboard the incredible team of Ryan Browne (God Hates Astronauts) and Pete Wood (Robin, Deadpool), two creators who dare to deliver an altogether unexpected, satirical take on the classic superhero mythos with Project Superpowers: Hero Killers.

Review: The Power of the Dark Crystal #1
By Laramie Martinez
Simon Spurrier. Kelly Matthews. Nichole Matthews. Those names should already tell you the level of quality you’re going to get with this book. The Power of the Dark Crystal #1 is set after the events in the movie The Dark Crystal. But you don’t need to see the film to understand what’s going on here its premise is handed to you at the beginning of the issue. For me the setting was only vaguely familiar as I did watch the movie as a kid, but it’s been several years since I had seen it. I was expecting a lot of fan service, little winks and nods to the audience like what you see in most movies or comics which lean heavy into nostalgia. I’m happy to report this book doesn’t do that. It feels like a fresh story that just happens to take place in the Dark Crystal Universe.
Review: Weekly Shonen Jump no. 12
By Dustin Cabeal
First and foremost, I’m enjoying reading new manga. It’s just extremely interesting to me to see what’s new and if it can make it in the long haul. I will again be focusing on half of this issue due to trade reading and lack of interest… One Piece.
Image Announces Blind Boxes For 25th Anniversary
By Dustin Cabeal
Ah man... I should have been consulted on this. I would have done used pairs of Kirkman's underwear. Dick pics from the Sex Criminal creators. A picture of someone's Savage Dragon tattoo, with permission to copy the tattoo on your body as long as you put a "limited 2/2" somewhere near it. A signed original copy of one of Eric Stephenson's "comics, you're all at fault" speeches. A lawsuit settlement check for $1.00 from Todd McFarlane preventing you from suing him in the future. The ideas are endless, but you can see what Image decided upon for their 1,992 blind boxes... which are more of mystery polybags, but I guess that was harder to market or something.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Co-Creator Reimagines "Jane Eyre" at BOOM!
By Dustin Cabeal
Don't get me wrong, I'm curious about this graphic novel. Here's the but, BOOM! has been announcing a lot of Hollywood writers on their comics and that's disheartening. Even when I didn't love something the publisher published I always respected the fact that they were still heavy on the comic book development side of the business. The broke in new writers and artists yearly, but now... from the writer of Legally Blonde, from the co-creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It's like they're patrolling the back lots of Fox looking for writers. I'm not excited by this because it's starting to look like a trend. We'll see, ECCC is just around the corner.
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.

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.
