Review: Game of Thrones: A Clash of Kings #1

By Ashley Gibbs

Game of Thrones: A Clash of Kings #1 is a comic book adaptation of the second book in George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire, A Clash of Kings.  Though there is also a television adaptation, this comic isn’t an adaptation of the HBO television series. While I have yet to read the books by Martin, I have seen the show so I was interested in reading this comic. I was hoping for a simplified version of the large books that focused on the important parts and used artwork to express Martin’s loquacious writing style. I enjoyed reading this issue, while some things came up from the book, there are many moments that I do recall  from watching the television show.

Review: Xena: Warrior Princess Omnibus vol. 1

By Ashley Gibbs

I’ve always had an interest in strong female characters growing up and still do. She-Ra, Wonder Woman and of course Xena, whose television show mixed strength and humor with ancient Greek mythology. I was excited to read Xena: Warrior Princess Omnibus Volume 1 as I have not read any of her comics previously and haven’t seen the show in many years, I was ready for an awesome nostalgia trip. Sadly, what I got instead was a rather mediocre book that I ended up only enjoying one story out of the three provided.

Review: GWAR Orgasmageddon #1

By Levi Remington

Just in case you didn't already know what to expect from a book with a title that merges "orgasm" and "armageddon" – especially when the grotesque and absurd "shock-rock" metal/punk band GWAR is attached – I've got your back as I'm here to review the ridiculously over-the-top first issue to the new miniseries by Matt Miner and GWAR's own Matt Maguire. Funded back in October of 2016 through Kickstarter, this comic serves purely as a love letter to the fans. Featuring characters from the band's mythology like Beefcake, Jizmak, and Balsac (just to give you an idea of what we're working with here), who join the rest of the band in a sci-fi adventure through time and space, encountering plenty of strange foes, spewing loads of bad jokes, and ultimately providing very little entertainment.

Review: Super Sikh #1

By Ben Boruff

I have been a fan of Rosarium Publishing for quite some time. The indie publisher self-identifies as a "fledgling publisher specializing in speculative fiction, comics, and a touch of crime fiction—all with a multicultural flair," and its impressive team of authors and artists have created a variety of boundary-pushing comics, including Ted Lange IV's Warp Zone and a comic book anthology called APB: Artists against Police Brutality. Rosarium Publishing's mission is an important one. Like a balloon tied to a rock, comic culture is rising toward an established place in the critic-molded literary zeitgeist, but it can only rise so far without freeing itself from some of its baser habits, such as casually neglecting to tell a wide variety of stories. Publishers like Rosarium Publishing guide comic culture toward a richer, more eclectic future, and compelling comics like Super Sikh offer hope that we will get there soon.

Review: Wonder Woman Standing Tall from EntertainArt

By Dustin Cabeal

Originally I had hoped to write this review before the Wonder Woman movie released, but a nasty bout of the flu and the timing of my vacation dictated that I would instead write this review now. When it comes to reviewing a product there are several questions that you must ask yourself along the course of the review. These questions are how any reviewer worth a damn will give you a solid, unbiased review. At least in my opinion.

Unboxing: Loot Anime – May 2017

By Dustin Cabeal

This is probably the best Loot Anime... possibly ever. It's legit the first time I haven't wanted to either give away an item or throw away an item. There is one item I'm going to give away, but only because I know the person would appreciate it far more than me. Otherwise, I would totally keep it and use it. I really hope they keep this trend because this is worth the money.

Review: The Flintstones #12

By Levi Remington

Never in my life did I think I'd be singing praises for any piece of media connected with The Flintstones license, but here we are. Mark Russell and Steve Pugh have crafted one of DC's finest comics of the past few years – singlehandedly justifying the existence of the Hanna Barbera line. The miniseries closes this week with its twelfth issue, bringing a thematic conclusion that satisfies wholeheartedly.
