Review: Savage Things #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m not one to use simple explanations of what a comic is or isn’t. Sometimes it’s unavoidable as is the case with Savage Things because sidestepping it would likely make for a review that was uninteresting and off-putting for people that were perhaps interested in actually reading the comic afterward.
Review: Royal City #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Ah, Jeff Lemire. I'm sure that, for some, that's all they'll need to know to go out and pick this book up. After all, Lemire is both a talented artist and writer whose work is not dissimilar to that of Matt Kindt's (whom I talked about in my review of Dept. H #9). Although, I'm far more inclined to describe Kindt's work as being in the same vein as Lemire's than vice versa. Admittedly, I'm not quite as familiar with Lemire as I'd like to be. Most of what I've actually read from him has been the stuff he only wrote (a current example being Black Hammer, which has been awesome). I did pick up the first two "books" of A.D.: After Death, written by Scott Snyder with art by Lemire, but I've been waiting for the third and final one to come out so I can read them all back to back (a decision I back made when book 3 was still scheduled to come out in February). So when I saw Royal City listed on the spreadsheet, I jumped at the chance to read and review it.
Review: Think Tank v5 #1
By Chris Tresson
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time… The ending to the last series was incredible and I instantly wanted to jump into the next one. I’m not going to claim to be its biggest fan, but when it’s being published, it’s definitely up there with the books I enjoy reading the most when new comic book day rolls around. Anyways, let’s get into it. Today I’m looking at Think Tank Volume 5 #1, written by Matt Hawkins, drawn by Rahsan Ekedal and published by Top Cow this week.
Review: Rat Queens v2 #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m not going to sugar coat it, I feel off of this series with all the delays and art changes. It’s unfortunate, but it just happens. I feel terrible for Kurtis J. Wiebe because I’m sure it happened to a lot of other people as well. It was just a weird bunch of events that kept the book from chugging along and so here it is, continuing, but new.
Review: The Once and Future Queen
By Jonathan Edwards
I'm all for stories and utilize and/or reinvent folklore, legends, mythology. etc in a modern context. So when I was reading Dark Horse's description for The Once and Future Queen, it seemed right up my alley. As such, I called the book for review as far in advance as possibly I could. And when I eventually called Royal City by Jeff Lemire as well, I was kind of expecting this to be a highlight week for me in terms of reviews. That is, I was ready to say very good things about multiple books. You'll have to go read my review of Royal City to see how that one turned out (spoiler: it was pretty good). But here, The Once and Future Queen unfortunately ends up kind of stumbling through its first installment.
Review: Brave Chef Brianna #1 (of 4)
By Dustin Cabeal
If you’re planning on reading Brave Chef Brianna, stay to the end. The reason I say that is it took over half of the issue to hook me on reading this series. That’s not to say that there aren’t some stumbles along the way, in the end, I was sold on reading the next three issues in the mini-series from BOOM! Box.
Review: Batman #18
By Daniel Vlasaty
After two issues of pretty much straight set-up, we’re back to the action in Batman #18. From the opening page spread of Batman and Bane arguing and fighting in the rain all the way back to their respective childhoods this issue really packs in an emotional/action-packed punch.

Review: Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt is interesting. Not in a “bad” way or even in a “wow, that’s totally different” kind of way, but rather in that it manages to tackle all the themes of war better than all the Gundams before it. The catch is, I wonder if it would be as good if we weren’t all so familiar with the themes of the previous Gundam series.
Review: Nisekoi: False Love vol. 20
By Dustin Cabeal
Are you ready for the rollercoaster that is Nisekoi? Because this might be the best volume, I’ve read in the series, which is strange because the last volume was the worst I’ve read. At this point I’m in too deep on this series; I’ve read from volume thirteen, I’ve watched two seasons of the anime, and now I’m starting to like volumes. What happened to me?
Unboxing: Loot Anime - February 2017
By Dustin Cabeal
A mother fucking light novel. Fuck light novels. Either give me a full sized novel or manga. Why not a movie in one of these damn boxes? Sorry, I'm just frustrated because the anime boxes usually don't offend me or disappoint me as much. It's kind of either excitement or "I don't know this anime....". This time around, I knew everything, and it was all disappointing with the exception of the shirt. The shirt was really good.

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.

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.
