DC's Getting Dark In Dark Days

By Dustin Cabeal

Hmm, did DC just recover from going too dark with the New 52? I mean, unlike Marvel, they have great villains when used properly, so they never need to go that dark. That's what always made them stand out from Marvel. Marvel had to go dark with their title because all their villains sucked. We'll see if this pays off, but given who's in charge of it and who's illustrating it, it just seems like a typical event book that will find itself on a "why did they do this list" in five years.

Review: Death Be Damned #2

By Laramie Martinez

After reading the first issue I thought I knew what kind of story Death be Damned was going to be. And despite a warning from Andrew Miller over on Twitter, I went into issue two thinking that I was going to get more of the same. And while there was plenty of zombies and shootouts, there are some key revelations which take this series to another level of uncanny.

Review: Paper Crown

By Ben Boruff

Deep below the colorful lithosphere of indie comics lies a core of melancholy, aphoristic, and often minimalistic comics that explore the more nuanced elements of loneliness, solitude, and longing. Occasionally, these comics bubble to the surface of the indie comic zeitgeist, but more often they remain hidden, churning below the consciousness of casual fans. I call this subgenre of indie comics "epigrammatic gloom," and it is oddly refreshing. Comics of the "epigrammatic gloom" genre eschew the usual dressings of intricate plot, and they favor the power of artwork over the power of dialogue. Like the beginning of Up and the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, an "epigrammatic gloom" comic allows visuals to lift the weight of the story's emotional elements, and this tactic is almost always effective. Without the burden of dialogue, panels are able to burn with color, and background artwork—often vast and simple to enhance the protagonist's isolation—is not obstructed by overbearing bubbles and squares. Claire Connelly’s clever comics contain copious amounts of this molten melancholy, and Paper Crown is among the best of Connelly’s impressive work.

Preview: Godshaper #1 and More Covers

By Dustin Cabeal

 I couldn't care less about the covers, but I'm enjoying getting a look inside the comic. I wonder who is coloring it as it looks a lot like the color on Daniel Bayliss' art for BOOM! Even without the lettering I'm digging what the story is presenting and can't wait to check this one out.

Injustice 2 Reveals Firestorm

By Dustin Cabeal

I wish this wasn't so inspired by the TV show... the costume that is. The play style looks like Shang Tsung which is fine, but it definitely means that Firestorm is going to be a cheesedick fighter. By that I mean, annoying to fight against, but we'll see on May 16th. I hope this game is better than the first since I hated the first with a lot of passion.

BOOM! Announces A "Clueless" Comic... Because The TV Show Wasn't Enough

By Dustin Cabeal

Well... we had a good run folks. The entertainment industry is just eating its own shit now and Clueless is the latest victim. Anyone that's excited for this is an idiot. Plan and simple. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie like I don't know, EVERYONE ELSE THAT GREW UP IN THE FUCKING 90S! But I have never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, wondered what the characters decided for college. Nor did I want to see that in comic book form.

Rocket Jumps Next Hulu Series Is Dimension 404

By Dustin Cabeal

I really enjoyed Rocket Jump's TV show that went behind the scenes of their videos. I was honestly just hoping for a second season of that but seeing this teaser... I'm okay with watching this instead. Knowing Rocket Jump, I thought comedy, but again, seeing the teaser made me think The Twilight Zone/Outer Limits. There's a lot of celebs on the show, which shows that RJ is moving up in the world and that's cool with me.

Mahfood Returns With "GRRL Scouts: Magic Socks"

By Dustin Cabeal

Hell fucking yes. Grrl Scouts is fun as fuck and that's all I expect from it. It's not groundbreaking or enlightening, it's just Mahfood doing his thing and now there's no way to end this sentence without saying I like Mahfood's "thing." I like Mahfood's thing... pervert. I'll be all over this, god the puns don't stop, upon its release, there is again.

Review: American Gods: Shadows #1

By James Anders II

The hype has been heavy.  The promotion? Intense.  The look? Impressive early.  The outcome? Not quite sure as of yet.  American Gods, arguably one of the best novels written here in the early 21st Century has gone full circle.  Written by master scribe and Literary legend Neil Gaiman in 2001, this multi-awarded visually descriptive tale of myths and legends and old vs. new has always been ripe for development in other mediums.  It was too good not to expand.  It simply demanded more.
