Review: Dark Knight III: The Master Race #8
By Jonathan Edwards
I don't like Frank Miller. Not just because he's a shitty person, nor because his writing's gotten definitively worse over the last decade or so. With maybe one or two exceptions, I've never liked his work. Brian Azzarello is a lot more middle of the road. From what I've read, he tends to be decent at the very least (Moonshine, for one, has been pretty good so far, though definitely not the best thing coming out from Image right now). However, I'm pretty sure Azzarello is the only thing keeping this book from taking a straight nosedive into pure awfulness. It's long been presumed that he was taking on the brunt of the writing with this series, and some of Miller's own comments, explaining his writing of a fourth entry in the Dark Knight series, more or less confirms that. It's too bad that he can only do so much here, and it really isn't enough. Despite attempts to veil the rampant Islamophobia Miller threw around in Holy Terror, it still ends up about as subtle as a truck. Well, if you want to call portraying the Kadorians as blatant and over the top religious zealots utilizing suicide bombers "veiled." And if that weren't enough, issue #7 of this shit show advocates for police brutality. Way to go. Yet, can this penultimate issue turn it all around and make this a worthwhile book? Nope, not in the slightest.
Review: The Gamma Gals #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The Gamma Gals is a quaint indie superhero story that’s part Fantastic Four, part high school drama. The origin story is given to us in just a few pages which were nice, but then also a little too quick. Listen, comics are overrun by origin stories, so it’s fine to skip it, but if you’re going to bring it up then cover it. Otherwise, it’s better to skip it than to gloss over it.
Review: At Least You’re Not These Monsters

You could add a subtitle of “Things could always be worse” to the title of At Least You’re Not These Monsters. The new book from Devastator and creators Danny Lacy and Mike Levine takes a look at some monsters and some problems with said monsters with the goal of making you feel better.

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.
