Review: Food Wars! Vol. 18
By Dustin Cabeal
Bombshell, bombshell, bombshell… bombshell! There’s probably more than four bombshells in this volume, but you get the idea of just how important this volume is to the series. When last, we left Soma, he was facing off against the leopard tank top wearing douche in a rigged Shokugeki. Everything was on the line, but no true outcome insight.

ONE-PUNCH MAN Anime Series Debuts On Home Media From VIZ Media
By Dustin Cabeal
If you listened to this week's Comic Bastards Podcast we actually talk about One-Punch Man. You should listen to that and also buy this if you haven't watched it yet. It's worth owning even if there are a bunch of streaming options... shit, I might buy it and I need more anime like a hole in the head.

Review: Black Clover vol. 6
By Dustin Cabeal
Well, I’ve put off reviewing this for far too long, and some of my initial excitement has been lost to time, which is a shame because whatever I would have originally written would have been filled with joy. Probably for the best, but I will say that if I were going to do a wrestling chant for this volume, it would be “Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit” and so on and so on until my voice gave out.

Review: My Hero Academia E.015-017
By Dustin Cabeal
If you’ve listened to our anime podcast Super S – Anime Podcast or read any of my past anime or manga reviews for My Hero Academia, then you know that I’m not hyped on this anime. It came just after One-Punch Man, and so the expectation was that it would be handled with the same level of care as OPM. It wasn’t. The first season was not brilliant and frankly dragged in all the wrong places, while rushing its way to the ending.

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 8
By Dustin Cabeal
My Hero Academia is a strange creature. On a personal level, I enjoy this story and prefer the manga to the anime. It’s a very interesting take on the superhero genre, and it’s surprising that it’s not more popular with American comic readers as it fits the market perfectly. The strange thing about this story is that I don’t rush to read it like I do so many others. Perhaps it’s a slump right now where it’s missing that spark of interest, but while I read it and enjoy it, I’m not craving it.

Review: Tokyo Ghoul vol. 12
By Dustin Cabeal
Well, well, well, this is a very interesting volume of Tokyo Ghoul. After the last volume, it seemed as if the manga and the anime had finally gone their separate ways, but here comes volume twelve smashing those expectations and continuing the comparison. What remains incredible about this brand is that even though the anime differs in a lot of ways from the manga, there has yet to be a point in which I firmly feel that one did something better than the other. The anime is good for its own reasons and so it the manga. The manga, whether you believe it or not, is really unlike any other mainstream manga on the market which explains at least some of its popularity.

VIZ Media Expands TOKYO GHOUL Catalog With A New Original Novel Release

Review: 7th Garden vol. 4
By Dustin Cabeal
After my last review for 7th Garden, I was sure I wouldn’t come back for another review. Hold on, before you get excited, this is still going to be a very critical review. It’s just that I was surprised I had anything left in the tank for this series which continues to cherry pick small aspects of religions and make them feel awkward and ill-thought out.

Review: Boruto: Naruto Next Generations E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
I will kind of echo what I said in my review for the first volume of Boruto: Naruto Next Gubernations the manga. I have never been a fan of the Naruto series, nor have I ever checked it out until now. Boruto is my entry point, and that’s where I’m sticking. That said, damn, the team behind this series have this all locked down. Well-oiled machine doesn’t begin to do it justice.
