Review: My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel #1

By Ashley Gibbs

As an adult, I am fully aware that I am not the target audience for My Little Pony but it’s something I grew up with as a child and find the current show interesting at times. I don’t know much about the upcoming movie so I decided to read My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel #1 to learn more about it. This issue focuses on the villain and sets up his motivations, we also see another character from the movie but only briefly. However, instead of making me more interested it worried me, while I don’t expect Oscar-worthy adventures from the cartoon horse movie, I’m hoping for an interesting plot but starting out by not liking the villain is not good.

Review: Clue #1

By Ashley Gibbs

Take one huge mansion, one odd host, a handful of guests and a dark and stormy night, mix it all together and somehow you end up with murder. Clue #1 is based on the classic board game and finds Mr. Boddy murdered after a dinner party with a house of suspects all with color-themed names. I’ve always enjoyed playing the game (outside of the US, you know this game as “Cluedo”) and loved the movie based on it as well so found myself eager to see how this comic re-imagined everything. Sadly, what we get is a lot of unlikeable characters and not much mystery so far. Yes, there is a murder and we may know who did it but this isn’t confirmed, and then there is another murder so while these are mysterious elements I don’t find myself drawn in to solve them quite yet.

Review: Chaosphere

By Wes Jones

The Running Man, Rollerball, Smash TV, Mad Max, and now Chaosphere. This self-published title follows in the footsteps of beloved dystopian, sci-fi, deathsport fiction. Oh right, I almost forgot about Deathsport. While the premise of a post-apocalyptic society controlled by corporations and enthralled by a deadly spectator sport isn’t anything new, Chaosphere presents itself as a unique entry in the genre.

Review: Batman/Elmer Fudd Special #1

By Shawn Warner

There have been some strange pairings or ‘Odd Couples’ since team-ups entered the collective consciousness, in fact DC Comics has mashed their top tier characters with those of Hanna Barbara’s storied past and now June has seen the publisher do the same with the Looney Tunes gang. Since DC and Looney Tunes are both properties of Warner Brothers it would make sense, at least commercially that, to paraphrase Spyder from Powerman 5000, these two worlds eventually would collide. Not too long ago the Looney Tunes characters graced the covers of the upper echelon of the New 52, at least variant covers, but now it’s time for actual crossover team up action between serious super heroes and largely large headed cartoon characters. Sure, it’s happened in the past; Scooby Doo meets Batman and Robin and the like but, again this is the big time and mostly not for laughs.

Review: Motro vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s a lot of weird shit in Motro that I enjoyed. Things like raising vehicles like pets until they grow up and you can ride them or how old people revert to the size of babies, but still manage to walk around. Weird has never bothered me and usually is a huge draw for me.

Review: Justice League of America #9

By Jonathan Edwards

Would you believe me if I said that this book suddenly got better? No? Good, because it didn't. Justice League of America #9 is a laughably bad issue, a weak ending to a weak story, and it doesn't even feel like Steve Orlando's even trying anymore. Seriously, all of the conflict kind of just gives up halfway through this shit. I mean, I guess Makson does still try and fight the JLA for a page. But come on, he's not going to win. He's a wild man, and they're the fucking Justice League of America. Honestly, I don't even know how he gets in as many hits as he does. It's like Makson was supposed to have super strength for no reason, and then they forgot to ever mention it. Does it seem like I'm just diving right it? Yes? Good, because I am.

Review: Redneck #3

By Daniel Vlasaty

Donny Cates is legit everywhere right now. Dude’s on fire. Much like the wheelchair on the cover of Redneck #3. Much like most of this issue, everything explosive and basking in the glow of flames as the town burns the Bowman compound. Shit gets pretty intense pretty goddamn quickly in this issue. The violence is over the top and maybe a little excessive (which is something I’m all onboard with) but it’s never used to replace a lacking story. I think some writers try too hard to be like Hollywood blockbuster movies. Think about it, think about those movies for a second. Most of the time they have a pretty weak or generic or clichéd story and they make up for that with special effects and blood and explosions. In my opinion, having a ton of shit blow up and just balls-to-the-wall violence will never make up for a shitty story. What I mean is Cates knows what he’s doing here. He knows the story he’s telling and he’s using the violence as a tool, as a way to move the story forward, not just as violence for the sake of violence.

Review: Supergirl: Being Super #4

By Jonathan Edwards

As a reviewer, it's always interesting to reach the end of a series that you've been covering from the beginning. It doesn't matter how long or short the run was. There's just something kind of surreal about looking back and knowing that you were successful in committing to be there for every single issue. It's even crazier when the book sucked, and you had to muscle your way through and to the end. In this case, Supergirl: Being Super doesn't suck. It had a slow start, but it never sucked. And, this fourth and final installment serves as a fairly successful conclusion, wrapping up plot threads both in ways I did and way I didn't expect.

Review: Beautiful Canvas #1

By Benjamin Snyder

Wow, that’s really all I can say about the first issue of Beautiful Canvas. Beautiful Canvas #1 totally subverts any expectation for normalcy you may have for the book. What starts out as a seemingly traditional story turns into something much more interesting and clever, bound to offer a very entertaining story arch filled with plentiful twists and turns.

Review: Blood Brothers: Hermanos de Sangre #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Since starting Comic Bastards, I have read more comics than I will ever remember in my life. Things tend to fall into categories, and I’m not referring to drama, comedy, superhero. Instead, it’s things like, an event happens, and everyone has superpowers. Which is where I would place Blood Brothers. This is by no means a bad thing, and it’s often a genre I enjoy because the only way the story is successful is by having interesting characters. The world is by default interesting, but that doesn’t necessarily ensure there’s a story to read.

Review: Kull Eternal #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I don’t know anything about Kull. It’s a name that seems familiar, but other than that; I have no idea. That doesn’t matter though because this is the first issue. I’m pointing this all out early because often when a property is rebooted old fans like to make excuses saying that new readers “didn’t get it” and so on. Simply put a first issues job is to make sure everyone gets it, so let’s see how Kull Eternal stacks up?

Review: Girrion #1-6

By Patrick Wolf

Not too long ago, a friend of mine introduced me to the popular webcomic series: Unsounded. What immediately struck me about the franchise was not just its gorgeous art, but also the incredible realization that it was illustrated, colored, lettered, and written by the same person. It was like watching a sailor be a captain, first-mate, oarsman, and engineer all at the same time. How could someone be so talented? Unfortunately, when I read the book, this question was answered all-too-quickly: nobody’s that talented. I believe Girrion suffers from a similar fate.

Review: The Dregs #4

By Daniel Vlasaty

I have a love/hate relationship with miniseries. I love them because they’re easily digestible, four or five or six issues of story. Nothing too huge or time consuming. There’s no twenty or fifty or, shit, one hundred plus issue commitment. And I hate them because when they’re good I don’t want them to end. When they’re good I want them to keep going, with more and more issues. But only if they keep that fire burning. Anyway whatever. Issue #4 is the final issue of The Dregs. And if you’ve been reading my reviews then you’ll know how I feel about this book. And if you haven’t, I’ll tell you. I fucking love it. The Dregs is easily the best series I’ve read this year, at least. Every issue has been great in both story and art. And issue #4 is no different. I thought this was the perfect ending to a pretty goddamn close to perfect book.
