Trailer Time: Titan Comics' Robotech #1

Not just another retelling of the Macross saga ...

In July, the story continues as we bring Carl Macek's original vision full circle. Taking into account every iteration of the series, this new Robotech #1 casts a fresh eye over classic characters like Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, Lynn Minmei, Roy Fokker, Claudia Grant, and Henry Gloval. Brian Wood and Marco Turini take us back to a Macross Island where *nothing* can be taken for granted.

Through Gambit's Eyes - Will the Gamble Pay Off?

Gambit has been a favorite among fans of the Marvel comic book universe since his first appearances in Uncanny X-Men Annual #14 and Uncanny X-Men #266, both published in 1990. Also known as Ragin’ Cajun, the good-streaked mutant rogue from New Orleans has stirred the hearts and imagination of many with his personality as much as his explosive card-slinging skills. Anticipation for the upcoming movie adaptation has been building with every update, whether related to a new juicy detail or another delay. Perhaps, its creators’ lengthy deliberation will result in an X-Men instalment to rival the public’s approval and box-office success of Deadpool and Logan. Good things come to those who wait, as they say, and it is hoped that this will be one such case.

Review: Rose #2

By Levi Remington

Rose, a high fantasy series that is teetering a bit too close to the familiar, releases its second issue this week. While my first impressions were favorable towards the art, I was left wanting when the story retread such mundane, overdone territory. Does the second issue expand upon the first in a memorable way? Not exactly, but the art is still excellent.

Review: Royal City #3

By Jonathan Edwards

I swear, with every new issue of Royal City, I read it, love it, and want more. Lemire does such a good job of setting and maintaining a tone that it hardly takes any effort to slip back into the same emotional space each month. Furthermore, he has a specific way of revealing information so that it informs about the characters and world while also generating further intrigue and follow-up questions. As far as I can tell, the "model" (if you want to call it that) tends to be something of a reversed order of events. We meet a character who's feeling a certain way or in a certain state of mind. Then, we slowly move backwards to find out the actual event that got them there. And after that, we uncover what led to that event. For example, Tara and her husband Steve have been at odds since the first issue, and with this one we finally learn what the cause of that was (I refuse to spoil it). And now, the question becomes "what else was going on before it that affected and led up to it?" It's really great stuff, and I can only presume it will all eventually lead back to finding out exactly what happened to Tommy Pike.

Review: Red Sonja v4 #5

By Dustin Cabeal

If you’ve been reading this series like I have then I’m going to give you the best advice possible, skip this issue. The fifth issue of the newest Red Sonja series from Dynamite Entertainment is by far the worst of the series for numerous reasons, but none worse than the fact that it does next to nothing to move the story forward.

Review: Eleanor & The Egret #2

By Levi Remington

After a delightfully bizarre first issue, Eleanor & The Egret is back and it's picking up speed. Detective Belanger draws nearer, Ellis the egret's bowels assist in "Operation Daring-Doo," and Anastasia Rue hires a bounty hunter of sickly proportions. Read ahead for my thoughts on this week's issue of a series that is like no other.

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.
