Review: Trolls
By Dustin Cabeal
Hold on, hold on, hold on… not those “Trolls” or even internet trolls, but rather Air Traffic ConTROLLers. The printed word can be confusing, so I’m laying that out first and foremost because I don’t want people skipping this review just because of one goddamn word.
Review: How To Draw Comics
By Dustin Cabeal
There’s one thing that needs to be said about any “How to Draw” book; you get out of it, what you put into it. People seem to think that by going through the book they’ll suddenly be the next (Insert name of comic book artist you like, here) and that is simply not the case. With that said, how does one critic something called How To Draw Comics if it’s not by the amount of successful students that come from it? Well, How To Draw Comics by Ilya made it quite easy to do so.
Review: Broken #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Check out the Kickstarter for the series that just launched! (4/20/17)
Broken is a digital fighter story in the vein of Pokemon or any story that pairs a fighter with a trainer in the hope of seeking ultimate glory. It doesn’t try to hide this fact which is why I’m being up front with it because the catch to all stories like this is the characters and journey. The formula is simple and works well over and over, but it’s the previously mentioned elements that determine its longevity.
Review: Ninjak #26
By Dustin Cabeal
Totally willing to admit that I haven’t kept up with Ninjak, but unlike a lot of superhero comics, Matt Kindt makes it easy to jump back on the series. Point in case, this is a pretty big conclusion to a storyline, and once again it involves the Shadow Seven, Roku, and Master Darque. I’ll say this much; the series does need some new villains because I am getting super tired of that dude with the creepy little hands. He’s great because of those hands, but he’s still just creepy as fuck.
Review: Super Sons #3
By Dustin Cabeal
PSYCH! It’s not there Dad’s because this adventure would be over too soon and it would be really unrewarding to the reader if Batman and Superman showed up and cleaned up the mess… that could still happen, but hopefully, it won’t.
Review: Zombie Tramp #34
By Dustin Cabeal
It’s been a while since I checked in with Zombie Tramp. It’s a series that I find easy to jump on and off of as I’ve stated many times before, in that way it reminds me a lot of Witchblade. The series never makes any hot shot booking in which they just blow through a storyline, but rather it’s all very methodical so much so that I was able to figure out what I missed just from reading the dialogue.
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?

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.
