Review: Stitched vol. 1
By Dustin Cabeal
Stitched is a kid friendly monster themed graphic novel that’s aimed more at young girls than young boys. That said, I’m a thirty-year-old man that reads all types of comics and no genre, or demographic will keep me away. That and I think young boys would actually enjoy this as well, but that’s not why we’re here.
Review: The Dredger #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The “outbreak” genre is a bit overdone in my opinion. There’s even a zombie subgenre, but I suppose if people have a story to tell, they’ll tell it. The Dredger is a strange first issue because there’s a lot of elements that are quite good and then others that are very, very bad.
Review: The House #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The House has an uphill battle to fight because it has such a familiar concept. Just looking at the cover and the title made me think of Hell House by Richard Matherson which lead me to think of half a dozen titles that have homage Hell House in comic form.
Review: Weekly Shonen Jump no. 13
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s another week meaning more Jump Start! If this is your first time reading my review for Weekly Shonen Jump keep in mind that I don’t review the overall issue, but rather the individual stories that I read in that particular issue. Let’s get it started!
Review: Cosmic Scoundrels #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Whenever I read a comic that I end up not liking there’s one line that repeats over and over in my head. It’s from The IT Crowd, and it goes a little something like this, “It’s not for you Jen.” That, of course, is the best way to present my thoughts on Cosmic Scoundrels #1.
Review: The Dregs #2
By Daniel Vlasaty
The Dregs might be the perfect comic book. It has a unique and original story, a too-cool-for-school attitude, great art, and an interesting and involving mystery. In my opinion, it’s the best book coming out right now. Probably the best book of the year. It’s a great mash-up of noir and junkie fiction, two of my main areas of interest. Basically, this book’s got it going on.
Review: AmeriKarate #1
By Dustin Cabeal
AmeriKarate is by far one the most difficult titles of any comic to type. It is unnatural in the way that you must move your fingers, and that is a complaint that no one cares about, but welcome to the start of this review.
Review: Extremity #1
By Chris Tresson
I’ve picked this up on a limb— sorry. I’ve picked this up on a whim because I thought the cover looked pretty cool. Not always a massive factor in me picking up books for review but a decent cover can’t hurt your chance. Anyways, I’m about to review Extremity #1, which is being released this week by Skybound/Image Comics and is written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson, with colors from Mike Spicer. I haven’t read anything that Daniel Warren Johnson has done art for or written to my knowledge, so I’m looking forward to seeing what he has to offer… Here we go.
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.
