Review: Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea
By Levi Remington
There's nothing in comics that's quite as special as a short story in the Hellboy universe. Various creative teams have brought their unique voice to the character over the years, but Mike Mignola remains the arbiter. This way, stories are consistent in tone, and respect continuity. In Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea, Mignola joins co-writer and artist Gary Gianni for a fifty-page, standalone graphic novel that can proudly stand next to other "Mignola-verse" classics. It's that good.
Review: Supergirl: Being Super #3
By Jonathan Edwards
After a month or two delay, Supergirl: Being Super is back with issue #3, and here I am with it. I actually just reread my reviews of the previous couple issues for the sake of retrospection. The upshot of that process? Well, I now feel like a sinner that need repent for their actions. That is to say, I really like this one, and I'm regretting discouraging some people from picking it up in my first review. Don't get me wrong, I still stand by it being a slow start. However, this issue proved to me that it was totally worth it and more than paying off.
Review: Deathstroke #18
By Dustin Cabeal
The Twilight storyline concludes, and this will likely be the third trade in this Deathstroke series. It will also be the one I recommend the most to people. I truly believe that you don’t even need to read the other issues to enjoy this storyline. It’s just that damn good and Priest does an amazing job of recapping the rest of the storyline through the dialogue. For instance, the Red Lion shows back up and gives Rose a new suit to tell her, “thank you” for her actions that led to him getting back his country. Even though it tells you which issues it happened in, the information is there already, and it felt natural to the story.
Review: Eternal Empire #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
Usually I don’t do fantasy books. Just can’t. They’re not my thing. I don’t know why, I generally just find myself bored by all things in the fantasy genre. But when I saw that the creative team behind Alex + Ada (Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn) was doing a new book, I got instantly excited. I enjoyed Alex + Ada, as well as other things I have read from the Luna Brothers. I didn’t even care what the book was about, I just jumped in. And I will say that the first page instantly intrigued me – some weird cult shit was going on. But then when I turned to page two and I saw a dragon, I think I automatically started to drift away. I just don’t like dragons and stories with dragons in them and blah blah blah.
Review: Predator: Hunters #1
By Levi Remington
In loose, belated honor of Alien Day, I decided to read my very first Predator comic. The license has a long history at Dark Horse, beginning in 1989. Most of the stories were published during the nineties, but the character has made a small comeback since the Predators movie in 2010. It was the drought in between where Predator: Hunters found its origins, as editor Randy Stradley and writer Chris Warner discussed plans fifteen years ago for a series that bucked the standard Predator trend – the hunters would become the hunted. After so long in limbo, the story has finally come to fruition. Was it worth the wait? Read ahead to find out while I feed the damn snakes and inappropriately assume your tribe.
Review: Brave Chef Brianna #3
By Dustin Cabeal
Well basically everything I said would happen in my second review happened in this issue which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that’s been reading the series. It’s been very obvious. Sometimes that’s a good thing. It shows that the writer is leading us somewhere and allowing us to feel a part of the story as we “figure it out” while reading. That is not the case here. It’s just that obvious.
Review: Injustice 2 #1
By Ashley Gibbs
Personally, I am a casual fan of DC comics, but when the first Injustice video game came out years ago, I was pretty excited and enjoyed it a lot, so I’m eager for its sequel. To help build up hype for the new game, we’re also getting a new tie-in comic that helps explain the world of [i]Injustice[/i], to bring people up to speed on the story so far, as well as offer more story that might not have fit into the game itself. Injustice 2 #1 is the first issue of this new series and takes place directly after the ending of the first game. While it’s not necessary that readers be familiar with the first game or even the comic series revolving around it, these comics add more meaning to the story.
Group Review: Youngblood #1
By The Comic Bastards
Welcome to a Comic Bastards group review! If this is your first, then allow me to remind you how this works. Each of the participating writers from Comic Bastards will give a score and their thoughts on the issue. This time it’s Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood #1, rebooted by Chad Bowers and Jim Towe.
Review: The Damned #1
By Levi Remington
Prohibition-era crime noir meets the occult in Oni Press' new ongoing, The Damned, which got its start in a pair of miniseries originally published from 2006-2008. Despite the previous eight issues, this new series promises a fresh starting point for new readers with a hard-boiled tale of demons, mobsters, demon mobsters, curses, and the nefarious economy of mortal souls. Does it live up to its promise? Read ahead to find out while I develop a soft spot for gutter rats.
