Review: Redlands #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The South is hot right now, but I ain’t going to lie, it’s wearing on me. Have you been to the south? The only thing it has going for it is the humidity. If in fact vampires, lost gods, witches and high school football coaches are running amok down there then I’ll say on this side of the Mississippi. All incest jokes aside, I am really tired of the backdrop of the South. It’s this year’s dystopian future. All that said, Redlands is worth reading.

Review: Skin & Earth #1

By Ashley Gibbs

When people usually think of comic books they think of the many spandex-clad heroes that constantly save the world and mainstream movies only enforce this. While I do love a good superhero romp, sometimes it’s nice to a read a comic that tells a different story. Skin & Earth #1 is the brainchild of Canadian musician Lights that ties into her upcoming album of the same name. The story being told links up with the album using both a visual and audio medium to engage fans. The first single "Giants" is currently available, as is the music video and you can instantly see the connection. It’s an interesting approach to comics and always positive to see women share their talents in what is a very male-dominated area.

Review: Game of Thrones: A Clash of Kings #2

By Ashley Gibbs

Game of Thrones: A Clash of Kings #2 is a comic book adaptation of the second book in George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire, A Clash of Kings. This one follows after the first issue where more well-known characters share their story as the red comet trails across the sky. Fans of the television show, like myself, can follow along with the story without having read the books before, it’s a lovely visual interpretation of the story cutting out a lot of fluff but leaving what is important intact. This issue focuses on three of the Stark children; Arya, Bran and Sansa, during the aftermath of their father’s death.

Review: Dark Days: The Casting #1

By Dustin Cabeal

These one-shots have swung the narrative so much I want to puke my churro and get off the Sea Dragon. That’s not where I really want to start, but trust me, by the time I’m done there, isn’t going to be a good fit for that line.

Review: Justice League of America #10

By Jonathan Edwards

This is not the worst issue of Justice League of America. In fact, as far as the amount of content goes, this might be the most substantial thus far. And, I would even say that the first couple pages are a promising start. However, it very quickly returns to the same old problems I've been complaining about for months. But what's more, this issue actually gives us a glimpse of the bigger picture. We start to see how things are supposed to tie together and build toward some future payoff. And, this newfound perspective is what makes the reason that none of it works that much clearer. Somehow, the biggest problem with JLA, a book that ships twice monthly, is that none of the plot points, character development, story arcs, etc. are given the time and space necessary to be developed beyond the bare bones concept.

Review: Lola XoXo v2 #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Siya Oum’s Lola XoXo is a beautiful comic. It’s one that you could easily look at for days and days because of how gorgeous everything is and not just the title character of Lola. The world it creates is fairly interesting as well, a kind of post-apocalyptic world, but not in the vein of Mad Max. More like that terrible TV show Revolution, but only in the setting and style.
