Review: Brave Chef Brianna #2 (of 4)

By Dustin Cabeal

The plot for this second issue was lost on me. It seems to be manufactured to bring Brianna and Suzan together on a united front, but the biggest question that the series has presented continues to go unanswered. Is Brianna breaking the “monster rules” and cooking with flour and sugar and other things that make food tasty?

Review: Eleanor and the Egret #1

By Levi Remington

In John Layman and Sam Kieth's eclectic and surreal ode to classic European fables, Eleanor and the Egret #1 tells the story of Eleanor, a woman who steals art from all across Paris with the help of her magical pet bird, an Egret, who eats the stolen art and consequently expands in size by a significant degree, as birds do. Read ahead for my thoughts on the delightful beginnings of this bizarre miniseries. In the meantime, I'll be pondering the origins of a feather with Cheswick the cat, lamenting the absence of my Bird-Identification specialties, and picking advanced locks with the beak of a mystical heron.

Review: Savage Things #2

By Dustin Cabeal

There is a lot to enjoy about Savage Things as long as serial killers being used as terrorist agents is your cup of tea. In a lot of ways, Savage Things is either the American answer to James Bond or Jason Bourne with psychopaths. Take your pick on which sounds more appealing to you.

Review: Kim Reaper #1

By Levi Remington

It couldn't be more fitting that this comic begins with Becka, our main character, completely ignoring her Fine Art university class in favor of a good ogle at her goth classmate, Kim, a part-time grim reaper. To say Kim Reaper ignores any attempts at being fine art would be an understatement. Sarah Graley doesn't just sidestep the profound, she proudly smothers it with the quirky, pulsing heart of a caffeinated millennial. Read ahead for my thoughts on this week's debut issue while I grow a six-pack on my forehead.

Review: Sun Bakery #2

By Dustin Cabeal

If you didn’t read the first issue of Corey Lewis’ anthology series Sun Bakery, then I feel sorry for you because it’s by far the best anthology being published in comics and it’s all being done by one man. Lewis has crafted four ongoing stories that have varying length this issue, but all of them and I mean all of them, are damn good. What’s nice is that Lewis keeps the series in the same order.

Review: AA Squad #1

By Ben Boruff

AA Squad is a simple comic, but its characters ask big questions. What is the value of history? What is the nature of the butterfly effect? Is Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" wrong? Does my life matter?

Review: Weekly Shonen Jump no. 18

By Dustin Cabeal

Hey, there’s more for me to review in this issue! Yay! I will update you that I’m getting closer and closer to being caught up on Black Clover, so you’ll likely see me reviewing that one in the future. After the difficulty in catching up on One-Punch Man, I might just jump to it when I get close. Get it? Jump! Anyway, I didn’t review Food Wars!, My Hero Academia and One Piece in addition to not reviewing Black Clover.
