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.

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.

Review: Red Line #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

When I heard that one of the dudes behind shows like Archer and Sealab 2021 was writing a comic book I was super pumped. I said to myself that this thing had to be the book. That it would be fun and hilarious and well, basically, like reading a comic book version of one of those shows. I can see that here, kind of. I can feel it in the book, at least of the periphery. But sadly, I also could feel that something was missing. I’m not sure what it is, but whatever it is the book just never clicked for me.

Reveiw: Night's Dominion #6

By Laramie Martinez

It’s been a fun ride, but the first arc of Night’s Dominion ends with this issue. Overall I give the series a solid 4. It’s a different take on the superhero genre, with a touch of fantasy and dungeon crawling characters. This issue doesn’t have too many surprises, if you’ve been reading until now I think you had a pretty good idea who the big bad will be. Even so it was good to see everyone teaming up to dish out some fantasy ass kicking.

Oni Announces Collected Version of Tessa Stone's "Not Drunk Enough"

By Dustin Cabeal

I actually really like Tessa Stone's work so I'm going to be checking this out. I don't particularly have the time to keep up with webcomics so when good ones get collected, I'm there.

Review: Night's Dominion #5

By Laramie Martinez

Night’s Dominion has been moving away from what made me like its inaugural issue. This issue cements the transition from heist/dungeon crawl to superhero team up. The change, at least for me, is somewhat of a disappointment. I know that this comic was originally billed as having some capes and tights influences, but I feel like the mystery cult and the undead hordes as a potential threats were more appealing when they were underground instead of when they come out in the open. I can’t be mad at Naifeh though, it isn’t as though this change is abrupt. I’ve seen hints of it from the very first issue.

Review: Space Battle Lunchtime #7

By Mike Badilla

If you remember my last Space Battle Lunchtime review, there was a battle. In space. It involved a no-holds barred battle to cook an awesome meal for King Caesar, and the losers die. This time a human (Peony) is involved. In the midst of the cooking battle, Neptunia (an alien that is also Peony's girlfriend) busts through the wall of the arena and she and the human woman embrace because they love each other. For more details, check out the brief but encompassing recap page.

Review: Night's Dominion #3

By Laramie Martinez

The last two issues of Night’s Dominion have taken us through an interesting and exciting world at a breakneck pace. We’ve seen a team come together, a heist go awry, and uncovered a conspiracy underneath the city. This issue, by comparison feels like the issue where we pay the piper. Slower than the previous two, Naifeh introduces a lot of new characters and storylines. While I have previously welcomed his twists and turns of the narrative. The ones introduced here feel like he’s trying to do too much. Overall, the pacing doesn’t ruin the issue but it does bring it down from the heights this series has achieved in the past.

Review: Space Battle Lunchtime #6

By Mike Badilla

Space Battle Lunchtime. The rules are simple: cook or be cooked, according to the awesome (and illustrated vs written) recap page. Without fact checking (so don't get all mad if I'm wrong) I'm going to assume this is some kind of intergalactic cooking battle. Different cooks are pulled from different planets or galaxies in order to compete, and this round there is a human! She is very upset that she has been chosen for all this competition. Understandably so, as ending up in some alien's stomach is a pretty poor fate if she doesn't win.

Review: Motro #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Being a fan of Gamma, I was instantly interested in Motro from Ulises Fariñas. It has that distinct style that made Gamma funny and amazing. Motro differs in that its a dark comedy in a somber and dystopian world.

Review: Night's Dominion #2

By Laramie Martinez

After an outstanding first issue, Ted Naifeh is back with Night’s Dominion #2! Picking up right where we last left our odd bunch of thieves, this issue is, on top of being a great heist issue, another well paced introductory issue, with some twists and turns for good measure. We get to see a little more of each character’s abilities and personalities as they traverse the strange cathedral brimming with cultists. Great sword and sorcery action from start to finish.
