Review: Curse Words #5
By Daniel Vlasaty
Issue #5 of Curse Words marks the completion of the first story arc of Wizord and Margaret and all their crazy adventures. And if you’re one to judge a book by its cover it looks like we are in for some wild wizard fighting action, as this one shows Wizord and Ruby Stitch fighting on top of a fighter plane. So far, I’ve enjoyed much of Curse Words. Some issues better than others, but still it’s been a fun read through and through. So how does this final issue of the first arc stack up to the four that came before it, read on for my review of Curse Words #5 by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne.
Review: Adventure Time Comics #11
By Ashley Gibbs
Adventure Time Comics #11 is a fun and light hearted trip to the Land of Ooo with fan-favorite characters from the TV show of the same name. This issue contains four original stories that are not connected to each other and can be enjoyed independently from the show. As a fan of the series who hasn’t been able to keep up with every episode, I enjoyed this title because it gave me some nice moments with characters I liked. While it may not be as wild and crazy as the show itself, it made me smile and laugh and really that’s all I wanted. Sometimes the real world can be pretty dark and a light hearted comic is a great escape from that.
Review: The Wild Storm #4
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m just going to say it, I read Warren Ellis’ newsletter, and I know there’s going to be some kind of delay after this first six issues. That sucks, but hey, that’s comics I guess. At any rate, I noticed something about this issue of The Wild Storm; it’s mostly talking. It’s cool fucking talking, but that is in fact what it is… cool fucking talking. Don’t get me wrong; I love it. Like, I really fucking love it. All the future talk and amazing possibilities that don’t feel that far off from what we can actually accomplish, I love it.
Review: Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
I didn’t know Jim Mahfood before I read this book. I’ve never read any of his stuff before. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t reading comic books in the 90s and early 2000s – didn’t really start getting seriously into them until 2010-ish. I know it’s crazy and weird and whatever. But I spent literally all the money I made in my late teens and early twenties on tattoos and drugs. Comic books came later for me and because of it I guess I missed most of Mahfood’s books. Like Grrl Scouts and Tank Girl and Clerks, I don’t know. But I’m here now and that’s all that matters, right? Right. Right! Anyway, Grrl Scouts Magic Socks is a new book that Jim Mahfood wrote and drew. And I read it, and this is my review of it.
Review: Injustice 2 #2
By Ashley Gibbs
Hot on the heels of the Injustice 2 game release comes the next issue of the tie-in comic book explaining the events that transpired between the two games. Injustice 2 #2 starts right where the first issue left off, and while readers can pick up on things quickly without reading the first issue, I do recommend doing so anyway and having some background knowledge of the series because it enhances the experience. This issue has more action than the first, however there is some violence as well. We’re also given more backstory on characters that will appear in the game.
Review: Little Guardians #2
By Dustin Cabeal
With the zero issue, this is technically the third issue I’ve read of Little Guardians, and I really like it. With this latest issue, it introduces some of the coming threats that are antagonists will face, but it’s not without its problems.
Review: Justice League/Power Rangers #4
By Jonathan Edwards
Y'know, despite it being a couple of months since the last issue of Justice League/Power Rangers, I was still annoyed enough with its bullshit that I didn't really want to review issue #4 when I first saw it pop up on the spreadsheet. However, after giving it some thought, I decided to let the CERN nonsense slide for now and give it a chance. The book, in turn, reciprocated by having the first third of it entirely dedicated to giving an explanation to how exactly the Large Hadron Collider was going to make a proper portal from the DCU to the Power Rangers universe. Except, not really, because everything about that process is written so vaguely that I really don't know what Tom Taylor decided to try and drag real world science into this. Interdimensional portals are easily accepted by suspension of disbelief. But as soon as you say CERN or Large Hadron Collider, you are setting a precedent for what can and can't be done. I'll let you guess whether 'creating a portal with a direct connection to a parallel universe that will safely transport people between said universes' falls in the former or latter category. No, I won't; it's stupid and wrong.
Review: The Signal #1
By Patrick Wolf
I don’t know what to say about this one. I don’t want to praise it, but I also don’t want to chastise it either. Claiming it’s mediocre also isn’t fair since it certainly rises above your average run of the mill comic. That said, not by much.
Review: Super Sons #4
By Dustin Cabeal
While I’ll likely continue to read this series, I’m done reviewing it with this issue. There’s nothing left to say about it. It’s settled into a routine with the last issue, and that’s where it’s continued in this issue. It’s one part The Incredible, and the other part bickering children. That’s the biggest problem with this issue, Robin and Superboy don’t stop bickering which is believable for sure, but oh so fucking annoying to read for twenty pages.
Review: Warhammer 40K Dawn of War III
By Patrick Wolf
While I’m largely unfamiliar with the Warhammer video game, I found its comic book adaptation to be mostly fun and exciting. Of course, the story did have a few setbacks, but nothing too major to distract me from the overall intrigue and adventure that drew me to the series in the first place.

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.
