Review: Coady & The Creepies #2
By Levi Remington
Have you been clamoring for a mediocre, all-ages, punk-rock, pin-collecting adventure with a bevy of authentically juvenile jokes and shoehorned supernatural twists? Have I got the title for you! Read ahead for my thoughts on Coady and the Creepies #2 (of 4) while I name my cat Ichabod, finish my friend's sandwiches, and "double groan" the whole way through.
Review: Royal City #2
By Jonathan Edwards
There's something about Jeff Lemire and Royal City that makes it so damn engaging to read. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know it's there, probably having to do with the sum of the parts over any individual aspect. It's the same type of dynamic that can happen when a comic incollected format versus issue to issue. Sometimes, the collection just adds another dimension. Consequently, that's exactly what I expect to happen with the eventual Royal City hardcovers and TPBs. Although, even if that does turn out to be the case, it won't dissuade from picking up and reading the individuals issues.
Review: Sand + Bone
By Dustin Cabeal
Sand + Bone isn’t that unfamiliar of a story. There have been some variations in comics over the years, and it goes like this, Iraqi’ Vet comes home and brings something back with him. In this case, it’s not an item, but something else that is fairly easy to figure out while reading the story.
Review: Redneck #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
I don’t like vampires. Not really sure what it is about them but I’ve just never liked them. Maybe it’s because they’re usually portrayed as this smart and savvy and sophisticated things. Rich and high class and full of old world charm. I don’t know. I think vampires should be more like junkies. Ravenous and rabid. Strong and determined but driven by more of an animal instinct, by their hunger, than anything else. I think if vampires existed, they would have a hard time controlling their hunger and their lifestyle. Again: like a junkie. Where their bloodlust and their need to feed overpowers every other aspect of their lives. And the next thing they know they’re on the corner selling their bodies for even the smallest hit of some fresh, fresh blood. (An exaggeration, maybe, but you get the point). So, how does Redneck compare to this?
Review: Wolf Country #7
By Dustin Cabeal
This issue of Wolf Country is a quick read, mostly because Halfpenny is fighting a wolf for most of it and tripping balls the rest of it. What continues to be gripping about this series is the way that Jim Alexander bounces between the settlement, the wolves, and Halfpenny back in the city. Unlike what a lot of writers would do, Alexander doesn’t check in on each part of the story with every issue. Instead, he finds a very natural way to bounce between them, and sometimes that means going a few issues without checking in.
Review: Little Guardians #0-1
By Dustin Cabeal
My preference is to have two individual reviews rather than combo up two issues like this review is doing, but I’m a bit behind on reviewing this new series from Scout Comics. To start with, both issues are available on their site already or through you LCS. The first issue just hit, so you’re not that behind, not like me and this review which I wanted to be done much sooner. Damn you time and your accursed ways!
Review: Plastic #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I've been looking forward to getting my hands of Plastic ever since Image announced it back in January. The premise is one of those that pretty much guarantees that the story can only be a bad situation turning into a far worse one, but it'll so weird and twisted the whole time through that it kind of has to be worth at least checking out. I was completely expecting someone else to have called it for review as soon as it went up on the spreadsheet, but that didn't happen. So, here I am. And after reading through Plastic #1, it's actually not what I expected. Well, okay, it's exactly what I expected, but the execution and presentation are different. Although let me be clear, that's by no means a bad thing. What I'd thought was there'd be this incredibly thin veneer of "everything is so wonderful, and there can't possibly be anything bad on the horizon." A candy coating to the dark chocolate that is this book, if you will. Nope, no facade whatsoever. From the very first panel, it's abundantly clear what kind of story this is.
Review: The Wild Storm #3
By Dustin Cabeal
I will say that The Wild Storm makes me painfully aware of my ignorance of the characters. For instance, I have no idea who the woman on the cover is, but I want to be her best friend. She can walk through TV people! How fucking cool is that!?! Seriously though we begin with her walking through screens, all connecting and relating like instant teleportation and at the end its revealed that she’s keeping tabs secretly on the three different groups that were introduced to us thus far and if you pay close attention… some other cool shit.
Review: Deathstroke #17
By Dustin Cabeal
All good things must come to an end; such is the case for Deathstroke and Power Girl, the strangest duo to hang out in the DCU in quite a long while. This issue of Deathstroke is a reminder for those reading that Slade is a piece of shit, he’s not to be loved or idolized. He is a villain, even if he occasionally does nice things. Just remember, Slade is a piece of shit, but it’s okay to love him.
Review: The Shaolin Cowboy: Who'll Stop the Reign #1
By Levi Remington
Life is full of defining moments, events that completely reshape your perspective on reality. I've had my fair share, but sometimes they come without warning. You see, there's my life before I read The Shaolin Cowboy: Who'll Stop the Reign #1, and then there's after. Because a man can only do so much to resist cataclysmic disruption of his entire being, and a title like this was always meant to be the definitive tipping point. Read ahead for my thoughts before Billy's Happy Meal photo hits 9 likes.
