Review: Popova #1
By Ben Boruff
Writers Dre Torres and Alex Valdes are not afraid of difficult tasks. The two creators of Popova, a Tarantino-style comic that "explores the idea of reversing society's gender stereotypes by depicting women in the role of the aggressor," also created a documentary called The Last Taino. Here is the documentary's description as noted on the film's Indiegogo page:
Review: Goodnight Punpun vol. 5
By Dustin Cabeal
Oh Goodnight Punpun, how I’ve missed you. The only thing that’s disappointing about reading Goodnight Punpun is that I can’t find anything else like it to read. Hell, I don’t even necessarily think I want to read anything like it, but it would be nice if there were an option. At the very least, someone could provide an artistic style similar to Inio Asano for all of us to enjoy, but I guess that’s what makes him original.
Review: Master Keaton vol. 10
By Dustin Cabeal
Master Keaton is a difficult series to review. Not because it’s bad and not because it’s complex, but because it would be a bit like reviewing every episode of a procedural show that’s solving a different case every episode. In many ways, that’s exactly what Master Keaton is doing, solving cases every episode.
Review: ēlDLIVE E.01
By Shanel Kamara
I had no idea that elDLIVE was by the same creator of Katekyo Hitman Reborn; Katekyo Hitman Reborn is a personal favorite of mine, and it’s definitely in my top three shonen series after Hunter x Hunter 2011 simply because of its great combination of humor and artwork. The show aired in 2006, and admittedly, this is the fourth of fifth time I have re-watched the entire series. Therefore, I just had to check elDLIVE out. Akira Amano was not only responsible for the production of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, but she also did the original character design of Psycho-Pass; I was unaware of this fact until recently.
Titan Reveals "The Lost Fleet: Corsair #1"

Kill The Minotaur From Skybound/Image
Famed video game and film writers Chris Pasetto (Sanitarium, co-writer of feature film Air) and Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption, co-writer and director of Air) team up with comics artist Lukas Ketner (WITCH DOCTOR) for the all-new series KILL THE MINOTAUR, coming this June from Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment.
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.
Gonna Play The Fuck Out Of The New Scott Pilgrim Card Game
By Dustin Cabeal
Fucking finally a card game that really hits me in the nerdom. Magic, pass. Pokemon, meh. Yug-oh, can't even spell it right. Marvel and DC ones that suck, big pass. Scott Pilgrim, though, that rubs my nips in a calming clockwise motion. Yeah... I'll be getting this.
Hammer's Captain Kronos Rises At Titan With Dan Abnett
Titan Comics is excited to announce the next title from its Hammer Horror line of comics – Captain Kronos, materializes in 2017!
Image Announces Chakyin's "THE DIVIDED STATES OF HYSTERIA" A Timely and Unflinching Political Commentary

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.
Image Reveals Niles & Sampson's "Winnebago Graveyard"
The WINNEBAGO GRAVEYARD miniseries—written by Steve Niles with art by Alison Sampson and first announced at Image Expo—promises to take readers on a plot-twisting road trip filled with mystery this June.
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.

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.
