Review: Weekly Shonen Jump no. 14

By Dustin Cabeal

Welcome to my two-day late review of Weekly Shonen Jump. I am trying to get this review up and done on Monday’s when it actually releases, but so far that hasn’t happened. Well if you’re unfamiliar with how I write this review, check out previous issues or just jump in, you’ll figure it out.

Review: Grass Kings #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

The Grass Kingdom isn’t a place you want to go, unless you’re given permission to be there. The Grass Kingdom is a small, isolated community. They don’t tolerate trespassers or tourists or outsiders of any kind. The people of the Grass Kingdom live off the grid and they set their own laws. It’s a place where “everyone has a say,” even though that usually turns out to be the opposite in places like this. Places like this are set up to look like they’re equal, but mostly that means there’s some ruthless dictator (or self-appointed “king”) who’s actually calling the shots. Usually, places like this never turn out good.

Review: My Monster Boyfriend

By Justin Wood

As a select few of you may remember, I haven't had the best of luck with anthologies as a critic on this site. Often produced cheaply with freely obtained content from enthusiastic artists who see the unpaid labor as simply being 'part of the hustle.' Frequently your indie anthology is a disposably printed black and white magazine packed in with not-quite-there art and cliché choked flashbang stories by writers not yet sophisticated enough to be compelling in a compressed storytelling space.

Oversized Review: Justice League of America #2 & Justice League/Power Rangers #3

By Jonathan Edwards

I decided to try out something a little different this week. Justice League of America and Justice League/Power Rangers are both books I've technically been reviewing since January. Back then, my receptions of the two series were fairly contrasting, with the JLA one-shots starting on the stronger side and JL/PR being crap. However, after the successive drops in quality that were Justice League of America: Rebirth #1 and Justice League of America #1, Steve Orlando's team up series is more or less on par with DC and Boom!'s mediocre crossover (not to be confused with Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern, their outright awful crossover). And, since both of these "Justice League" books also portray Batman as making bad decisions and dimension hopping antagonists, I might as well try something a bit different with them. That is, smash them together to review at the same time.

Review: Deathstroke #14

By Dustin Cabeal

This fucking book. I say that in the nicest possible way. If you had asked me two or even five years ago, if Deathstroke would ever be this good, I would have laughed and probably said something about DC not having the balls to make a good Deathstroke title. Well apparently, someone has the balls or ovaries, I don’t pay attention to who edits this book.

Review: Red Dog #3

By Chris Tresson

Sometimes, a series just hits with you and you end up loving it when you weren’t really sure whether or not it was going to be any good in the first place… It’s happened to me with Rob Cohen’s Red Dog from 451 Media. I’ve been giving this series top marks so far and now we’re halfway through the series with this issue, so if there’s a time it should go wrong, it’ll be this issue.

Review: Infinite 7 #2

By Dustin Cabeal

More of the world is explained in the second issue of Infinite 7, but I have the feeling we’re still going to be learning about this work for at least another issue. The story jumps ahead from the shocking cliffhanger of the first issue. To put it plainly, our main character Anthony is the new Smash Brannagan having killed the previous one.
