Nobunaga no Shinobi: Ise Kanegasaki-hen E.01

By Shanel Kamara

Okay so spring has arrived and with its arrival heralds the release of new anime shows and sequels.  I’ll be frank, this week I found it exceptionally hard to choose which show to review. Before I explain the reason for my predicament, I think I should probably explain my decision-making process when selecting an anime show to write about. It’s very simple – I merely choose the show which leaves the biggest impression (good or bad) to write about. The only problem with this method is that, on the occasions where none of the shows I watch has an impact on me, I’m left with the issue of feeling like I have nothing to write about.  I know I’m babbling, but the truth is this week I experienced the problem with this method this week.

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.
