Review: Injustice 2 #3
By Ashley Gibbs
The prison where Superman and other members of the Regime are being held is under attack by the Suicide Squad led by the false Batman in Injustice 2 #3 but the real Batman has prepared for everything -or has he? This issue is filled with a lot of action during this full on prison break but also some nice reunions. While this issue isn’t filled with a whole lot of character development, it helps move the story forward as the chess pieces begin to fall into position. While the Regime was once the biggest threat this earth had to face, new powers are coming into place from the rubble of the broken world.
Review: Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks #2
By Daniel Vlasaty
Issue one of Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks had a frenetic energy like nothing else I’ve read in a long time. I thought it was a really great and nice and special book. And now Jim Mahfood and his badass Grrl Scouts are back for issue #2 of this revenge/drug-fueled/psychedelic nightmare of a book. I am pretty sure in my entire life I’ve never sincerely called anything a tour de force, and don’t get me wring I’m still not going to because I think that’s a lazy, stupid, clichéd thing to say. But I think if I ever were to call a book a tour de force, it would be this book. Anyway, Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks is a crazy and insane and awesome book, and here’s my review for the new issue.
Review: The Wild Storm #5
By Dustin Cabeal
The Wild Storm always feels as if it’s going to a commercial break when the issue ends. I sit there just expecting more, realizing eventually that another month will need to pass in order for that to happen. Granted this all happens in seconds while I’m reading, but it still happens. I have the strong feeling that when The Wild Storm is collected, it’s going to be a tremendous continuous read, one that I will look forward to digesting again.
Review: Royal City #4
By Jonathan Edwards
I've been championing this book since pretty much the get go, and as far as I'm concerned, it's been doing a pretty good job of consistently living up to that hype. However, with the next issue marking the end of Royal City's introductory story arc, it seems that Lemire has slowed down his momentum a touch for this fourth installment. Mind you, it's by no means a bad issue. The priority is just different. Rather than following in the footsteps of the last couple issues by introducing new plot threads, we see those that already exist start to get pulled together. Although, Lemire still leaves us with the lingering question of who exactly is the young woman that Patrick keeps running into? And perhaps more importantly, how does she fit into what all's going on with Tommy and Royal City?
Review: Archie #21
By Dustin Cabeal
First and foremost, I’m not going to tell you who is the person injured in the drag race that happened in the last issue of Archie. Frankly, when I read the solicit I knew who it would be and I wasn’t wrong. It’s obvious given the trio involved, and only one of those characters would actually “change everything” as they’re billing the next issue.
Review: Prison School vol. 7
By Dustin Cabeal
Prison School continues to be possibly the greatest manga I’ve ever read. Its ridiculousness seems to know no bounds as it finds new ways to put the characters in perverted settings based on misunderstandings. That isn’t to say that this volume is perfect, but it is damn close.
Review: I Hate Fairyland #13
By: Ben Snyder
Writer Skottie Young delivers many laughs and some disturbing imagery in I Hate Fairyland #13, in what is other an otherwise unremarkable issue.
I Hate Fairyland continues to be one of the more frustrating books out there. What started out as clever spin on the typical tale of a young girl having to find her way out of a happy-go-lucky Candy land, has become drawn out and entirely inconsistent. Following last month’s twisted issue of mushroom samurai and irony is an issue, which focuses entirely on Larry, the fly guide of Gertrude.
Review: Crosswinds #1
By Ben Snyder
In a novel twist on a “Freaky Friday”/ Trading places swap, Crosswinds #1 sets up an interesting premise in which a mysterious and reluctant gangster and a trapped miserable and harassed housewife mystically trade places.
Writer Gail Simone is one of the more accomplished comic book writers out there with successful runs on Batgirl, Wonder Woman, and her brilliant horror series Clean Room. Crosswinds #1 is unique among these titles, as this book tends to be the most realistic. Besides the magical twist at the end, most of the drama is human in nature.
Review: Batman #25
By Daniel Vlasaty
Batman’s back and he’s fighting in a new “war.” This poor guy, he just can’t catch a break. He just goes from one villain to the next. One war to the next. And when he runs out of villains to go through, the cycle just starts itself over again. This time around it’s the War of Jokes and Riddles. So obviously the two villains he’s going to go face-to-face with are the Riddler and the Joker. I know a lot of people hate the Joker as a character, and I’m wondering if that’s just because he’s getting kind of played out. If that’s the case, I can understand. Because I can see that. Personally, I’ve always liked the Joker. But I can see how he’s getting overused in storyline after storyline after storyline. There is an interesting (kind of) twist to his character here so I am going to hold off judgement on how his part in this “war” is going to play-out. I used to review every issue of Batman for this site. And I’ve always read Batman. Sometimes it’s bad and sometimes it’s good. Although after issue #18 I stopped reviewing it because I was basically just writing the same review over and over again every month. But I didn’t stop reading it. And now we’re back with issue #25 and here’s a review of it.
Review: Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye #9
By Shawn Warner
Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye is possibly the best comic book on the racks today, the only problem is that it is most likely one of the most consistently overlooked offerings from DC. Now to be fair it is part of their Young Animal group of more eclectic books, however unlike the Vertigo titles that came before them and dominated the 90’s pre-hipster comic book era with such series as the legendary Sandman by Neil Gaimen, The Preacher by Garth Ennis and countless mind-blowing mini-series by the great Grant Morrison, Young Animal and its leader the uber-cool Gerard Way seem to be stumbling in the dark to find its target audience. In fact, the flagship title, Doom Patrol also penned by Way has just recently been all but officially cancelled. Things seem bleak indeed for Way and his Young Animal cohorts, but that’s the ironic thing here, these books are darn good reads, all of them. However, we are here to speak of Cave Carson so, shall we begin?
