Read MoreReview: The Fix #9
By Levi Remington
Two LA cops have gotten themselves in deep with the wrong crowd, and they keep making terrible, selfish decisions which drive them deeper into trouble. This book has a cute dog, plenty of low-brow sex jokes, and a poor representation of women – it just paints an awful picture of humanity in general, really. In this issue we get flashbacks, pool parties, bad dreams, and the notorious Horny Grandma. So begins the third arc of Nick Spencer's The Fix, a book that is often hilarious, offensive, and senseless all at the same time, but only if you're twisted enough to fall for it.

Read MoreReview: Cannibal #5
By Jonathan Edwards
If you read my review for Cannibal vol. 1, you already know a few things about this book and me. You know that I really like it, since it's an intriguing twist on the tired zombie subgenre, and there's a level of nuance to its characters and their interactions that really works for me. You'll know that one of the sample reviews I submitted when applying to be a writer for Comic Bastards was the first issue. And, you'll also know that I tend to think it works a bit better read as a trade than issue to issue, but I personally still read it month to month. If you didn't read that review, well, now you know all that too, and it all holds true with this one. Although, this is also probably one of, if not the, best issue of the series so far.
Read MoreReview: Red Sonja: The Long Walk To Oblivion
By Ashley Gibbs
I will preface this by saying this is my first time reading a Red Sonja comic and I was very eager to get a taste of the character outside of her mythos. I thought reading a one-shot would be a great way to have a short adventure with the red-headed she-devil without needing to invest in a long series, but I was wrong. Red Sonja: The Long Walk To Oblivion is a great read with a good mix of action, intriguing dialogue and wit; however it’s a prequel that leads directly into Red Sonja #0. It does a great job of leaving readers wanting more but also made the story being told not complete which is the opposite of what I was seeking.

Read MoreReview: Regression #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
Things are not going so good for Adrian. On top of being a seemingly awkward dude, he’s plagued by what can only be described as waking nightmares. These are grotesque, horrifying hallucinations of bugs. So many freaking bugs. Crawling out of toilets and beer bottles and the eyes and mouths of all the people around him. Bugs filling the sky like some biblical shit. And he’s trying to keep it together, trying to hold it all back, but he’s not doing so good. And his friends are starting to notice that he’s not his usual self. But they’re thinking he’s a junkie, which would be so much easier. If it were just drugs he’d have an answer. He almost wishes he was a junkie. Because anything else would be better than what’s actually going on in his head, right?
