Review: Tekken #1

By Dustin Cabeal

If you make a Tekken comic book, I’m going to read it. I have read ever Tekken comic that has been made, and one thing is always completely clear to me upon finishing them: There is no reason Tekken should be a comic book.

Review: Helena Crash #3

By Jonathan Edwards

Back when Helena Crash #1 came out, I seem to recall it being listed as the first of five issues. It appears that, somewhere along the line, that changed, and now it's only a four-issue limited series. Honestly, it's a bit disappointing, because after this one, I want more that just one final issue. The charm of Helena Crash has slowly but surely won me over. Not that it was met with much, if any, resistance along the way. It's a good book with an interesting enough premise and a world comprised of colorful characters (both literally and metaphorically). It may be a relatively quick read, but it's a solid good time too.

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.
