Review: Vampirella v4 #2

By Levi Remington

No, it wasn't the umpteenth revamp that captured my attention, nor was it the creative team. Instead, what finally led me to read a Vampirella title was the character herself. I had many questions. Why has she persisted for so long? What's her story? Is this title fueled by schlock, or has it gotten by for so long because its founded on a beloved, complex character? Well, after getting three issues deep into Dynamite's most recent run (don't forget the zero issue), I can safely say – with a tinge of sadness and regret – that this book does little to justify Vampirella's longevity. "You can't take the vampire out of the girl," the titular character so wisely observes, but at least you can take Vampirella off your pull list.

KISS and Vampirella Crossover Coming -- Yay?

By Dustin Cabeal

Listen, if Gene Simmons doesn't tongue Vampi's butthole and then his own, I don't care and won't be reading this. KISS sucks in comic form... and in real life... and their music. Vampirella needs a new publisher or just a brand new direction. Buttholes tongued or I won't buy.

Review: Red Sonja v4 #3

By Dustin Cabeal

Red Sonja set in the modern era continues to provide a mixed bag of entertainment. It seems that every issue will have something good and enjoyable about it, but then also have its fair share of groan-inducing elements. For now, it’s a balanced back and forth, but should it start to favor the eye rolling side of things, this would be an easy series to drop.

Review: Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys – The Big Lie #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s nothing inherently wrong with this comic book. The story is fundamentally sound, the art is detailed and consistent, and even the coloring is a nice match to the tone and style of the story. There is also nothing exciting about Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys… nothing.

Project Superpowers: Hero Killers Coming In May

Since 2007, Dynamite Entertainment has been the home to many of the Golden Age of Comics' greatest heroes -- characters like Black Terror, the Green Lama, the Death-Defying Devil, Masquerade, The Owl, and dozens more -- in the pages of Project Superpowers. Industry legends like Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, and Warren Ellis were among the many exceptional talents to reimagine these heroes for a modern audience, frequently in epic storylines with intense interpersonal intrigue and world-spanning stakes. Now, Dynamite welcomes aboard the incredible team of Ryan Browne (God Hates Astronauts) and Pete Wood (Robin, Deadpool), two creators who dare to deliver an altogether unexpected, satirical take on the classic superhero mythos with Project Superpowers: Hero Killers.

Review: Red Sonja v4 #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Well, color me shocked. I gave this another chance but didn’t see myself reviewing another issue after the first issue of the new Red Sonja. I found this issue to be marginally better, but still lacking in a lot of ways. I want that to be clear, it’s better, but it’s not great.

Review: Vampirella #0

By Chris Tresson

This week I'm reviewing Vampirella #0 from Dynamite Entertainment... It's a new series for the character, and it's being written by Paul Cornell and drawn by Jimmy Broxton. I am not the biggest fan of Vampirella (I think the last time I read an issue of Vampirella, I tore it to shreds... it was terrible and I haven't gone back to the character since.) and I am not really that big of a fan of Zero issues… But I'm stuck for things to review this week, so I have decided to give this one a go. Let's see what I thought of it…

Review: The Spirit: The Corpse Makers #1

By Chris Tresson

This week I’m going to be reviewing The Spirit: The Corpse Maker #1 which is wrtten and drawn by Fransceso Francavilla for Dynamite entertainment. Having read the previous Spirit series from Dynamite (written by Matt Wagner with art by Dan Schkade)and I quite enjoyed it, so I was quite happy to see that they were putting out another another Spirit series. I was happy at first, and then I saw Francesco Francavilla’s name attached to it, decided I was completely in and here we are. This is my review of the first issue.

The Golden Age Has Come To An End... Again... Or Something

By Dustin Cabeal

I guess Dynamite didn't like all my comments about their teasers sounding like a company going out of business. That or they were too vague and everyone was like, "what the hell are you talking about?" The gist is that they're relaunching all their Golden Age characters into the modern era. Something they should have already done and have done here and there. But now they're a shared universe so it's different or something. I'll read it, but I'm not like "damn, need a change of pants over here."

Dynamite Teases Something - Day 2

By Dustin Cabeal

The wording attached to this teaser was, "Nothing Lasts Forever..." which again, sounds more like you're a company is closing or being bought than an event teaser, but hey... none of my business. I'm going to take a swing in the dark and say that Dynamite is doing a shared universe or something... or it's just the most epic teaser for something new and we won't have any context to go with these teasers to make us care. Either way.

More Publishers Working Together! Batman/Shadow Crossover Announced

By Dustin Cabeal

I was all about this until I read the creative team. No thanks. Just exhausted of everyone involved. That and unless this means that DC is buying Dynamite, I don't particularly care about crossover anymore... ever.

Dynamite Teases Something - Day 1

By Dustin Cabeal

Sigh... seriously comic industry. Ya gotta come up with better marketing. Don't, I repeat, don't take a page out of Marvel's marketing book because that's the worst one to copy. I'll admit, my heart skipped a beat reading the words "All thing end...", but probably not for the right reason. I was thinking Dynamite was getting bought or some shit, but instead... comic event. Yay, just what we need, another publisher doing a comic event... during the summer. See ya tomorrow for the next teaser.

Review: James Bond 007: Felix Leiter #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I picked this up to read because I was terribly confused by it. How exactly was this a James Bond title with a scruffy blond man on the cover? Well, it’s not, not in the sense that it follows James Bond, but rather Felix Leiter. The joke was on me because I thought I could just pick this up and maybe enjoy it without having to read any of the other James Bond titles, but this character comes straight out of Warren Ellis’ run that either just wrapped or has one more awkward issue left.

Review: Red Sonja v4 #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Oh wow… this is far worse than I thought it could be. The idea of this volume of Dynamite’s Red Sonja is that she’s been transported to modern day New York City. I’m sure some were thinking, “wow, that’s different” and while you’re technically right, different isn’t always good.
