Everyone Is Shitting Their Pants Over The Underwater Welder Movie Produced By Ryan Gosling
By Dustin Cabeal
The story wasn't the good and was very predictable. I'm sure it'll do well for everyone involved.
Review: Food Wars! vol. 17
By Dustin Cabeal
Did you read the last volume? That twist huh? It is so damn good. It completely refreshes the direction of Food Wars! because let’s be honest, Soma just continuing to have battle after battle and winning and losing and growing would have been fine, but not interesting. Now, now some real character development can go down, and I would say that the ending of this volume is just the start to that.
Review: Infinite 7 #1
By Dustin Cabeal
After a mix-up on my part, I felt it was only fair to get this issue reviewed before the second issue arrives next week. I had been looking forward to it since I enjoy Dave Dwonch’s other comics like Double Jumpers and Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi Cab. He’s said multiple times in interviews and through the marketing of Infinite 7 that this is his love note to the 80s and action movie genre. Which isn’t hard to figure out with that Arnold Schwarzenegger looking dude on the cover, but let’s not forget the Bruce Lee clone and Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken.
Review: Dollface #2
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m way late on reviewing this, but I didn’t want it to slip by before the next issue. One because I enjoy it and two because it’s pretty different than a lot of other comics out there right now. A big thing for me is that even though this is a “hunter” comic book, it’s not annoying or repetitive like those stories tend to be. The fact that two issues into this series and we’re still revealing how our trio came to be and why they ran into Janey from Zombie Tramp have all yet to be revealed.
Review: Smoketown #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’ll be up front with you, Smoketown is about trying to get away with murder. Plain and simple. That is why you’re likely to be drawn to reading it because, with stories like Smoketown, you want to see if they’ll get away with it.
Preview: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo: Millennium #1 from Titan Comics
Facing prison time for libel, discredited journalist Mikael Blomkvist is hired by a reclusive industrialist to investigate an unresolved family disappearance. Aided by the mysterious computer hacker, Lisabeth Salander, the two soon discover a brutal trail of murder, deception and dark secrets.
Preview: Spencer & Locke #2 from Action Lab - Danger Zone!
Action Lab's noir mashup of Calvin and Hobbes and Sin City continues in SPENCER & LOCKE #2! Spencer and Locke’s investigation leads them to the seedy nightclub known as the Red Rose. But what kind of power does the Red Rose’s owner hold over Locke? Meet Ramona Sinclair. If this femme fatale doesn’t do these gumshoes in, a death-defying car chase just might. The second chapter of David Pepose and Jorge Santiago, Jr.'s pitch-black love letter to Watterson and Miller will arrive in comic shops and digital devices May 2017!
Super Heroes and Super Villains Getting In on the Gambling Action
I'm a big fan of comic books and a fan of online gambling, and it comes as no surprise that there are many heroes and villains throughout the comic book industry who gamble. Even superheroes need an outlet from time to time! If you play online progressive games at Vegas Palms, you can even find some hero and villain themed games, such as Thunderstruck II, which features the Norse Gods.
Support Indie Comics: Check out Aztlan!
By Dustin Cabeal
What a time to be alive when the first thing I have to tell you is "full disclosure, I know this dude." That is what I have to do, though; I know the writer of Aztlan, Pablo Arriaga. He's written reviews, articles, and interviews for Comic Bastards and a great digital friend of mine. That is to say; we've never actually met in person.

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.

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.
