Review: Immortal Brothers: The Tale of the Green Knight #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I enjoy the Archer and Armstrong side of the Valiant Universe, particularly for Armstrong and his brothers which are a great concept. Each of them being an Immortal, but living out the ages differently. This issue covers once such journey and is a reimagining of Gawain and the Green Knight or better yet an infusion of the story into the Valiant Universe.

Trailer Time: X-O Manowar #1 - He Will Give Them War!

By Dustin Cabeal

If you watch this trailer, you don't need to read my glowing review of the first issue of X-O Manowar... no wait... read it anyway. If you don't, then you're not internet friendly and fucking up my bounce rate and other analytical terms that really mean nothing to a small site like this one. What were we talking about? Oh, right, X-O Manowar is pretty bad ass. I'm tired of talking about the first issue, though; I wanna sink my teeth into Aric's... I mean the second issue already.

Review: X-O Manowar v2 #1

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s fair to say that in this new volume of X-O Manowar, Aric gives zero fucks. His fucks are in the red so much that the “fucks” bank might be foreclosing on his ass. Don’t misunderstand Aric’s lack of giving of fuck as a negative point on this comic. Instead, it's rather refreshing and amazing.
