Review: Loose Ends #3
By Daniel Vlasaty
If you’ve read any of my other reviews you know that I’ve been really enjoying Loose Ends. You also know that I’ve got a soft spot for drugs and junkie stories, and more importantly crime fiction. And this book checks off both of those categories. Loose Ends is billed as a Southern Crime Romance, and luckily for me the crime part of that tag line is the thing that sticks out most. Not that I have anything against romance, really, I’d just rather read some hard-boiled crime shit.
Review: DollFace #3
By Dustin Cabeal
I’ll say this; I’m glad we know what happened to Ivan. That is to say; we learn what happened to Ivan’s body in this issue as our trio continue telling their story to Janey Belle aka Zombie Tramp. I’ll be honest; I don’t remember why they’re working together anymore. I know it’s about the book… but it escapes me as to why.
Review: Underwinter #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I'm not much of a musically inclined person. I mean, I like music, singing for fun, and all that, but any proper musical education and proficiency both began and ended with learning recorder, xylophone, and ocarina in grade school. And yes, those were all mandatory lessons that I have since forgotten. Underwinter is a music-centric horror comic. Although, from the inverted pentagram overlaying the guy on the cover, I figured it would also contain some demon shenanigans, knowing about which tends to be one of my fortes. So, here I am reviewing it.
Review: Mother Panic #5
By Levi Remington
As Violet shares a longing for vengeance with her new acquaintance, a breaking point is reached. Meanwhile, a basement dweller by the name of Flannegan is getting friendly with some rats, and as per usual Violet's mother is acting strange. Read ahead for thoughts on this week's issue!
Review: Apocalypse… Meh
By Dustin Cabeal
The premise to Apocalypse… Meh is simple and brilliant. Hell, has come to earth, but life goes on. It’s like the book of Revelations, but Monday still sucks and Friday you get to go home from work. The volume is cut up in shorter stories, but there is an overall narrative that continues throughout the short stories.
Review: Black Hammer #7
By Levi Remington
Jeff Lemire's grand homage to Golden Age heroes continues with the start of a new arc -- this time exploring the mysterious origins of Black Hammer, the hammer-wielding hero of the streets who sacrificed all he had to save Spiral City. In the spirit of previous issues, two stories of past and present are told concurrently. But how does this week's backstory stack up? Read ahead to find out!
Review: Volcano Trash
By Dustin Cabeal
Volcano Trash is one of those alternative worlds in which the future is dystopianish, but also full of joy and fun. It’s a world I would like to visit because it’s a bit carefree, very weird and there are robots that can transform.
Review: Curse Words #3
By Daniel Vlasaty
I’m just going to come right out and say that I didn’t really care for the first issue of Curse Words. I tried to like it, but it just didn’t click for me. Something about it. Maybe it’s because it seemed a little too hipster-y (which is a word I am just making up here) or something. I don’t know. I like Charles Soule and Ryan Browne, so I figured, together, it would be an instant hit with me. But it wasn’t. Whatever. Let’s move on.
Review: Helena Crash #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Helena Crash is a book I very likely would've skipped if I weren't reviewing comics on a weekly basis. The premise is high concept enough to draw attention, but it's only a shallow hook and not enough to make me really want to drop the $3.99 to find out more. At the same time, that's kind of what made me want to read and review it. After all, sometimes it takes looking where you normally wouldn't to find the hidden gems. And after reading through this first issue, I am glad I picked it. While not necessarily anything special, Helena Crash is an enjoyable read that doesn't take itself too seriously, nor does it make everything into a joke.
KISS and Vampirella Crossover Coming -- Yay?
By Dustin Cabeal
Listen, if Gene Simmons doesn't tongue Vampi's butthole and then his own, I don't care and won't be reading this. KISS sucks in comic form... and in real life... and their music. Vampirella needs a new publisher or just a brand new direction. Buttholes tongued or I won't buy.
BOOM! Studios Announces Mouse Guard ABC's Book... Meh
By Dustin Cabeal
There was a time in which I would have found this cool, but since it's been years since any new Mouse Guard stories came out and even longer since one that wasn't a "Tales of the Guard" I can't really pretend to care about this. Maybe if it was a finished work and this was a nice piece for fans, but it seems like a waste of time and money.
Marvel Releases Some Creepy Mary Jane Watson Variant Covers
By Dustin Cabeal
Ew, themed variants! That pays the bills folks. That and when you've run out of iconic covers just go back and mine them over and over again... and then again and again. While I think it's great that MJ is getting some love, most of these covers are creepy looking. I posted comments all over them so enjoy that shit, or not, don't care.
Dynamite Picks Up Rangel Jr. & Caba's "Blood Brothers"
Dynamite Entertainment continues to bring some of the best and freshest comic book projects originating at Kickstarter to print with the news that Blood Brothers, the supernatural pulp sensation by Fabian Rangel Jr. and Javier Caba, will be serialized beginning this coming June!
Review: Star Scouts
By Dustin Cabeal
At times Star Scouts is an entertaining read full of imagination and a positive message about being different. Other times, it hits you over the head with its characterizations and paced far too slowly. Star Scouts is obviously aimed at younger kids as the message and outcome of the story are very easy to figure out. This wasn’t a deal breaker, but it did make for a bumpy ride to the end.
Review: Secret Coders vol. 3: Secrets & Sequences
By Dustin Cabeal
After really enjoying the first volume of Secret Coders, I found that my enjoyment for the second volume wasn’t nearly as high. I kept reading though because the cliffhangers are interesting and add to the story rather than just being a cheap gimmick to entice you back.
Review: Iron Fist E.01 – “Snow Gives Way”
By Dustin Cabeal
First and foremost, and I hate even to have to say this in a review, but given the site's reputation for disliking all things Marvel and given the critical reception that I’ve seen online for Iron Fist I will say this: I do not give a hot shit about anyone else’s review. I haven’t read anyone else’s review; I haven’t even read a tweet expressing an opinion about Marvel and Netflix’s newest entry into their weird subdivision of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I feel that I have to say that before starting with this review because the easier answer to everything I’m about to say is, “Oh, he’s just jumping on the bandwagon.” Let’s be clear about one thing, the first episode of Iron Fist is one of the poorest pilots I have seen in the past three years, and I don’t care what any other critic says.
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.

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.
