Review: Curse of the Vessel #1 & 2

By Patrick Wolf

Curse of the Vessel is a solid paranormal thriller that offers an interesting premise coupled with a set of exciting revenge stories. While the series suffers from some recycled plotlines and absent characterization, it’s still entertaining enough to warrant a read So, if you’re looking for a gritty noir blended with some cool spirit-revenge, look no further: Curse of the Vessel was made for you.

Comics To The Maxx - 003 - Bat-Magic

By Dustin Cabeal

Click here or on the title to be taken to the podcast.

003 - This is Comics to the Maxx! It came to me in a dream, the idea for this podcast that is. It's a little like our last episode in which we turn the entire universe upside down, but this time we start with Batman and add a dash of the Lantern Corps. If that sounds interesting trust me, it's the air molecules sitting above the tip of the iceberg! Sit back and get ready for Dustin and Kevin to sell you on their latest Elseworld's title that will likely never be made, but you'll fucking wish it was by the end of the show, it's Comics to the Maxx time!

Unboxing: Loot Crate - June 2017

By Dustin Cabeal

Do these even come by the month anymore? Seems like I get them when they're damn well and ready to send them to me and that means I have no fucking clue which month they're tied to nor do I care. The boxes are getting bigger, but sadly, some of the shit still seems like a weird warehouse finds like a particular Marvel item that you'll see on the video. Also recently I talked about a different monthly service coming and how it was shit I actually liked, but the cost is too high and they make you jump through a lot of hoops to get free shit and I'm not talking about reviewers either, just normal people. Anyway, fuck that shit. Loot Crate may not have the best products, but at least it's easy to deal with.

Review: Miku Hatsune: Acute

By Ashley Gibbs

While I am not a huge vocaloid fan, I do know some stuff about them and of course know who Miku Hatsune is. She’s the cute main mascot that’s taken Japan by storm and her likeness is used to sell many things. That being said, I had never listened to the song Acute before reading this.  Had I heard the song, I would have known what to expect of a story based on it. Going in blind,  Hatsune Miku: Acute did a good job of shocking me, it’s a darker story than I would have expected from these cute characters. However, at its core, it’s a story of friendship and love and how sometimes jealousy can make us do horrible things.

Review: Destroyer #2

By Ashley Gibbs

Destroyer #2 picks up with Frankenstein's monster still continuing his journey to man’s world after his solitude in the arctic was disturbed. However, most of the issue is spent with two government agents as they try to find an important scientist whom the government needs to stop the monster. This issue has good pacing and artwork though there isn’t much in the way of deep story telling being told as it’s more about moving the pieces into the right places. While less intense than the first issue, if you’re into this series then you’ll enjoy reading this one.

Review: Injustice 2 #4

By Ashley Gibbs
 

While Superman was detained in the previous issue, the prison break did succeed in its mission to release Damian Wayne. In Injustice 2 #4 we find out why and if his mother’s appearance in the previous issue was a tip-off, then you know what to expect. While this book isn’t filled with as much action we do get some good story that moves the plot forward for Harley and her situation. We also get some tender memories from Batman though not too much in the way of moving the plot forward with him, but I enjoyed the story told nonetheless. This was a pretty good read that really helps flesh out the characters involved.
