Review: Black Clover vol. 2-5

By Dustin Cabeal

I had every intention of reviewing each volume of Black Clover one at a time, but then suddenly I had read five volumes. In fact, the only reason I’m writing this review now is to get back to reading Black Clover which has been one of the most consistently entertaining and enjoyable manga’s I’ve perhaps ever read.

Review: A.A.I Wars #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Sci-fi is one of the hardest genres to write, mostly because at some point you have to explain the way the entire world works to the audience which can make or break a story. A lot of stories will try and cheat this by having a wall of text to read before starting the story which is the worst possible way to do it. Others, like A.A.I Wars, will use narration to explain the story. There are other ways of course, but I’m by no means teaching, nor am I an expert. I just know what works for me as a consumer of sci-fi.

Review: Battlecats #1-4

By Dustin Cabeal

It is incredibly rare for me to check a series out twice when I haven’t enjoyed it the first time. It’s even rarer for a publisher of any kind to take a negative review from me to heart and strive to improve and not for my sake, but for the reader’s sake. That’s why I’m back to review the first four issues of Battlecats.

Review: The Old Guard #2

By Levi Remington

Andy reminisces about history, a new immortal is shown the ropes, and Copley is experiencing some technical glitches in this week’s issue of The Old Guard. It wouldn’t be a Greg Rucka Joint without a complex woman protagonist and a heavy military presence, but it’s his experience with these elements that helps transform the familiar into something truly fresh and exciting. Read ahead for my complete thoughts before “Zeus’ scabrous cock” wakes me from an inconvenient dream.

Review: Boruto: Naruto Next Generations vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

I know that Naruto is a beloved series and one of the most successful shonen stories of all time, but I have never read or watched anything related to Naruto until now. It’s unlikely that I will ever go back and read or watch the original series, but I have to say… I’m all in on this new series for several reasons.

Review: Deadly Class #27

By Daniel Vlasaty

Before I moved recently I worked at a comic book store in Chicago called Graham Crackers Comics. I’m pretty sure that I got just about every person that came in to check out Deadly Class. Any time someone asked for a recommendation I would tell them about this book. I would scream at them about how awesome it is and how they need to be reading it! Like right now! What’s the hold-up! Jesus fucking Christ, check out this goddamn book already! It’s been one of my favorite books since it started coming out.

Review: Henchgirl

By Dustin Cabeal

If you’ve read any of my previous reviews for this series, then feel free to skip this one. While I won’t be going into the same level of detail for the trade as I did on the single issues, it’s pretty clear already that this trade will be scoring perfectly.

Review: Crawl Space

By Ben Boruff

In his 1974 book Anarchy, State, and Utopia, philosopher and Harvard professor Robert Nozick offered his now-famous Experience Machine thought experiment as a critique of hedonism. Nozick imagined a machine that could provide unending pleasure to any individual willing to experientially submit to it. The thought experiment suggests that if human beings desire only pleasure, humans would willingly use the machines. Nozick argues, however, that human beings may avoid such machines because humans ultimately desire "actual contact" with a "deeper reality." In other words, we value real experiences over pleasurable ones.

But what if there was a machine that offered both real and pleasurable experiences? And what if that machine was your washing machine?
