Review: Project Superpowers – Hero Killers #1
By Dustin Cabeal
If you’re a fan of Ryan Browne’s strange sense of humor, then you might be a little put off by Hero Killers. Browne’s humor at times pop’s up, but overall feels throttled back. This throttled feeling essentially kills all of the jokes or makes them so safe that they’re not that funny. Which is a shame because the concept is humorous even if it take damn near the entire issue to set it up.
Review: The Dregs #3
By Daniel Vlasaty
The Dregs issue #3 is a bit of a change of pace from the first two issues. This one feels like a step back, like we’re slowing down to a crawl with Arnold as he continues his investigation into his friend Manny’s disappearance. As he tries to manage that and a growing Listo addiction and the onset of withdrawals. And this last thing got me thinking. The withdrawals. He’s having paranoid thoughts and hallucinations. A few things that happened in this issue seemed kind of coincidental, and what I’m wondering is how much of what’s happening in the Dregs, and also to Arnold, is actually happening at all? And, then, how much of it is just a byproduct of Arnold’s drug use and subsequent withdrawals. I don’t know; this is just me thinking out loud here.
Review: Savage Things #3
By Dustin Cabeal
I wouldn’t be surprised if the entire point of Savage Things is to introduce Vertigo readers to Justin Jordan and Ibrahim Moustafa because the point of the story is lost on me. Lost on me in the sense that it’s breaking some logic that’s being established between the two timelines.
Review: Stained #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The concept for Stained isn’t that different from a lot of other comics that have come out in recent memory. A female bounty hunter in the future, you can add the “not so distant” if that makes you feel better, but it’s just the future to me. I can think of at least two other comics that had the same core idea, but the big difference is that Stained didn’t spend an entire issue explaining why the bounty hunter was poor and the “rules” for bounty hunting. All of this is explained through believable dialogue which was refreshing to read since again, not an entire issue was spent on the fine details.

Review: Spill Zone
By Dustin Cabeal
Call me strange, but this book smells great. It’s why I’ll always be a print guy, I love the smell of ink and paper and let me tell you, Spill Zone smells great. I don't have anything else to follow that, but yeah... take it all in.

Review: Underwinter #2
By Jonathan Edwards
Hrm, this is not the second issue I expected. At first, I thought it was, and I got excited. But as I read on, the promise of a deeper exploration of the demonic forces teased previously quickly gave way to decompressed check-ins with each of the quartet's members. Okay, I thought to myself, it's just reorienting us, and then it's going really dig in. A few pages later, it was suddenly over. I was surprised, and I couldn't help but wish there had been a bit more. In that regard, you could say that this issue was something of a letdown. Although, it is still enjoyable.
Review: My Hero Academia E.018
By Shanel Kamara
Things are heating up at UA academy's sports festival, literally. The competition between Bakugou, Midoriya, and Todoroki is fierce; it’s non-stop action from start to finish with Midioriya being the center of it all; Class 1-B’s presence only makes matters more explosive when Neito Monoma, a student from Class 1-B, challenges Class 1-A by abruptly taking Bakugou’s headband. Neito’s bold and rather shrewd move garners a lot of attention for Class 1-B, and for the second time this season we get the chance to find out what some of the students from Class 1-B abilities are. Neito’s copying ability is reminiscent of Rogue from the X-men; his snide personality only exacerbates Bakugou further.
Unboxing: Loot Crate - April 2017
By Dustin Cabeal
Whoo! Here's the last video of the day. Hopefully, you checked out the last two Star Wars Builders videos ( Starfighters and Millennium Falcon ) and also this month's Loot Anime unboxing. This month's Loot Crate had some junk. I wish I could say that nicer, but the X-Files tie-in was garbage and I've yet to meet anyone that genuinely like Jessica Jones or cared to own anything from the show. Even the Stranger Things tie-in was kind of meh. Really you could have called this box a Netflix and friends box, but whatever. There is one Batman related item that was fan-fucking-tastic.
Unboxing: Loot Anime - April 2017
By Dustin Cabeal
Are you tired of videos yet? I hope not because I'm still making them. Thankfully I got both Loot Anime and Loot Crate on the same day so I was able to pump out both and will hopefully be done with video reviews for a hot minute. This month's Loot Anime wasn't bad actually, some really impractical things like a pencil that you need a knife to sharpen. Ah, you'll see, but it was pretty good. Still not sure why the "Anime" box continues to give me "Manga", but that's the breaks or something.

Trailer Time: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure... It's Everything You'd Expect and More
By Dustin Cabeal
I don't even know what to say... it was like watching Diamond is Unbreakable, only with real people. I only wish that JoJo #1 was a bit more ripped diesel, but he pulled the rest of the look off perfectly. No idea what anyone is saying though, I didn't bother with YouTube's weird "let's try closed caption and get it wrong!" setting, but I imagine it's just like the show.
History of Stuff Presents History of Comic Books
By Dustin Cabeal
Our good friend and one-time reviewer of the site Carl is back with his YouTube series called "History of Stuff." He takes a look at things like Pizza, Comic Books, and Toliet Paper... yes, Toilet Paper. Granted Carl is my friend so I'm going to be a bit biased when viewing anything he does, but then I also manage to fairly evaluated comics of past writers all the time. My point, this is good TV so give it a view, a share and a like.

ONE-PUNCH MAN Anime Series Debuts On Home Media From VIZ Media
By Dustin Cabeal
If you listened to this week's Comic Bastards Podcast we actually talk about One-Punch Man. You should listen to that and also buy this if you haven't watched it yet. It's worth owning even if there are a bunch of streaming options... shit, I might buy it and I need more anime like a hole in the head.

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.
