Harbinger War 2 Has A Much Better Font Than Harbinger War 1

By Dustin Cabeal

These are teaser images so there's not a lot to say, but I do appreciate the crispness of that font. Otherwise, I'm just wondering how X-O grows that damn hand back and returns to earth in time for this event? Also, I fucking hope Livewire kills Bloodshot, that series has been shit since Swierczynski left.

Review: The Six Swords # 1

By Patrick Wolf

I normally have a soft spot for indie comic producers. I respect and admire such people, and so I naturally want to give them a good review. That said, I’m also a critic and I have a duty to provide my audience with an honest report—no matter how much I want the team behind the project to succeed. The Six Swords is, unfortunately, one of those projects that I just can’t get behind. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the worst thing I’ve read, but it definitely needs a lot more polish before I’m prepared to recommend it to the public.

Review: Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor #1

By Ashley Gibbs

The world is feeling the Wonder Woman fever as her solo movie takes over the box office, what better time to have new comics that readers can jump into without much need for knowing years of her background. That’s what I was looking for from Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor #1, an action-packed story that would shed more light on Steve Trevor and show why he’s important to Diana. What I ended up with were mixed emotions and sadly a sense that this comic will have no lasting impact on me. While Steve Trevor does get to fight bad guys and save the day all on his own, it’s weighed down by a lot of internal monologuing and dialogue moments that ruined my sense of immersion.

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.
