Review: Grass Kings #2
By Daniel Vlasaty
Grass Kings is back with its second issue. If you read my review for issue #1, you’ll know that I loved it, and that I have high hopes for this book moving forward. I was excited to see this title come up on the review list and jumped at the opportunity to get back out to the Grass Kingdom. Second issues are tricky things, I think. These are the issues that really set the tone for a book, because first issues are all about hooking the reader. But second issues have to slow it down a bit and give readers something to latch onto. Usually second issues will take a step back and spend some time on character development. And that’s exactly what issue #2 of Grass Kings does.

Review: Ominous Press – World Premiere #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Preview issues and zero issues always present an interesting challenge when reviewing. They’re essentially an issue made to entice a new reader into picking up the full issue. In a way, the review then is more about how successful the issue is at that than it is about the quality of the stories and art.

Review: Godshaper #1
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s not hyperbole to say that Godshaper is one of the most unique comics I’ve ever read. Whereas a lot of Simon Spurrier’s work at BOOM! has been fringe sci-fi stories, this one is much more grounded. The reason it works though is that the artist is so fucking talented. This story lives or dies by Jonas Goonface’s artwork.
Review: Boruto: Naruto Next Generations E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
I will kind of echo what I said in my review for the first volume of Boruto: Naruto Next Gubernations the manga. I have never been a fan of the Naruto series, nor have I ever checked it out until now. Boruto is my entry point, and that’s where I’m sticking. That said, damn, the team behind this series have this all locked down. Well-oiled machine doesn’t begin to do it justice.
Review: Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
That title is a mouth full, and I can’t wait to butcher it on a future episode of Super S – Anime Podcast. All joking aside, the title is what got my interest in checking this anime out, which is probably why it's titled as such.
Review: Sakura Quest E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
Sometimes, I see comments on shows before I have a chance to view them. Just random people stating their opinion on the show in a quick burst. I hate it because it’s almost always something without context, but manages to stay with me the entire I watch the show/episode of the show. This time the comment was, “Anime of the season.” Which is a far cry from the truth.
Review: Shade, the Changing Girl #7
By Levi Remington
For an issue that's been marketed as "stand-alone," this week's Shade, the Changing Girl is surprisingly reliant on context. It may not be new-reader friendly, but it's a must for anyone following the series. Read ahead for my thoughts as we dive deep into Loma's past and prepare for the annual winter dance.

Unboxing: Loot Anime – March 2017
By Dustin Cabeal
If you watched/listened to this week's Super S - Anime Podcast E.022, then you already saw this. Otherwise, it's one of the better Loot Anime in recent memory. The shirt could have been better and maybe more relevant than a three-year-old anime spinoff. Otherwise, good shit.

MAD About Trump: A Brilliant Look at Our Brainless President
MAD DUMPS ON TRUMP: A BRILLIANT LOOK AT OUR BRAINLESS PRESIDENT is an all-out comedy assault on the most idiotic idiot to ever reach the White House (George W. Bush and visitors included)! In these 128 pages, President Trump is mercilessly mocked, relentlessly ridiculed and savagely satirized. The book features MAD’s sharpest satiric shots at “The Donald,” comically chronicling his rise from obnoxious businessman to really obnoxious reality show host to uber obnoxious “Commander-in-Tweet.” Please note: MAD will not offer refunds on this book when Trump is impeached!

Review: Attack on Titan E.026 – “Beast Titan”
By Dustin Cabeal
Let me clear something up before we jump into this review. I’m not a diehard, all or nothing Titan fan. The characters aren’t deep; the main character is an insensitive dick that only cares about his revenge, and everyone cries a lot. Not that I can blame them on that last one since the idea of living in this world is enough of a reason to eat a gun. Hell, I didn’t even like this show until Eren turned into a fucking Titan.

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.
