Review: Secret Weapons #1

By Levi Remington

When I learned that Eric Heisserer, writer of Denis Villenueve's astonishing Arrival, was relaunching Valiant's Secret Weapons as a 4-issue miniseries with Raul Allen on pencils and Patricia Martin on colors, I was ecstatic. Even the previews had stricken me rabid with anticipation. I couldn't wait to see what the team would bring to the Valiant universe with their take on Amanda McKee (Livewire) and this new band of misfit psiots. Well, my dear bastards, the time has come.

Review: Ink Island

By Ben Boruff

Every so often, two or more of my interests share a glorious, usually fleeting moment. Once, I ate cheesecake as Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited flowed from tastefully small speakers that sat on a rustic coffee table next to a dog-eared copy of William Gibson's Neuromancer. Years later, I met Henry Winkler at a comic con, and he performed an amateur magic trick. And just yesterday, my cat and I played with bubble wrap.

Review: Justice League of America #5

By Jonathan Edwards

Welp, I'm back. And if you read my review for the previous issue of JLA, you'll know that means the book has, in fact, gotten worse. But funnily enough, it's not all that rage inducing this time around. It's shit, but it doesn't really feel like much of an effort is being made to convince us otherwise. It's more of a whimper than a bang as T.S. Eliot might say. That being said, shit is still shit, and I'm hard-pressed to let this alone as long as Steve Orlando continues to provide such baffling and stupid content in hopes it'll somehow justify the book's existence. So, here we go: Justice League of America #5.

Review: No World #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Like me, you may have missed the deconstruction of the individual Aspen titles sometime last year. Not to be mean, but I really didn’t care. Aspen over the past several years has been very inconsistent and shipped very little. If I’m not mistaken, we’re still waiting for the second issue of the newest Executive Assistant: Iris title, which doesn’t seem to matter now.

Review: Batman/The Shadow #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Lately, DC has been teaming up a lot of character with other companies. It’s not a bad play as it was a heavy staple of the 90s and I doubt anyone would argue that it was a business practice that sunk the industry. If anything, it was a decent practice that made comics fun so in a lot of ways, it’s nice to see it back. Now, that’s not to say that they’ve all been hits or even interesting.

Review: Leash Baby Kung-Fu #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Full disclosure I know the writer of this book Erik McAlister. He used to write for Comic Bastards and wrote many fair and balanced reviews for the site. That said, I will do the same for him as I take a crack at Leash Baby Kung-Fu #2. I will fully admit that the first issue wasn’t my cup a tea. It was a solid book and extremely consistent from beginning to end.

Review: Loose Ends #4

By Daniel Vlasaty

This is it, my friends. This is the end. The final issue of Loose Ends. If you’ve read any of my previous reviews for this series, you know how much I’ve been enjoying this series. So how does issue #4 stack up in relation to the previous three issues, but also to other books in the same genre? Does it pay off? Does it deliver on all the things it promised throughout the series? Read on for my review of Loose Ends #4.
