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.

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.
