Review: KFC: Across The Universe #3
By Dustin Cabeal
No, I am not taking a piss. KFC: Across The Universe is getting a serious review. I’m not likely to score this one since it’s free and I didn’t even pay attention to how you can get it for yourself. What I love about this is that it highlights DC’s new attitude, which is pretty much, “Fuck it, we’ll try it.” And I love that. This is something that only exists because of comic books, but then also only exists because it’s a comic book. You would never get a GL/CS commercial because it would just be a confusing mess to explain and probably cost way too much to do properly. That and the Hal Jordan/Green Lantern brand is damaged at the moment when it comes to the silver screen.
Review: Captives #2
By Ben Boruff
For nearly a decade, a friend and I have been working our way through Smallville, The CW's melodrama starring Tom Welling as a hormonal, somewhat simpleminded Clark Kent. My friend and I live hours apart, but we find time every few months to meet somewhere and watch a couple episodes. (We recently finished the ninth season, and I am very excited to start the final season soon.) It has been a rocky journey. We had to endure the infuriating awkwardness of teenage Clark; the inclusion of one-shot villains like Alicia Baker, a lovestruck high schooler who surprises young Clark with both kryptonite and sex; and, more recently, the inability of the show's writers to reconcile their desire to highlight Lois Lane's confidence and their knee-jerk assumption that every season needs a Damsel in Distress.We watch Smallville because we appreciate the fun absurdity of melodrama, and I recommend Captives for the same reason.
Review: Aliens: Dead Orbit #3
By Dustin Cabeal
This was probably not the book to read this week for me. I just watched Alien: Covenant aka Alien: Whatever This Bullshit Is. Let me tell you, watching Ridley Scott make the same fucking movie again, but then also shitting on anything good you could pull from Prometheus at the same time.
Review: Winnebago Graveyard #2
By Daniel Vlasaty
Winnebago Graveyard is the story about a family on the run from a satanic cult. This comic hits all the check marks for a trashy horror story like something I remember staying up late to watch on HBO and Showtime when I was a kid. There’s a creepy, deserted town. A cop who’s most likely complicit in what’s going on in his town. There’s a family lost and abandoned, after their RV was stolen along with all their possessions. Plus, the “father” in this family is really a step-father and he’s trying to connect with his new wife’s son, but it doesn’t seem to be going so good. This is a trashy horror nerds wet dream. Except it really isn’t because I think it misses most of those marks.
Review: Secret Weapons #2
By Dustin Cabeal
The thing that I have always enjoyed about Valiant is the Harbinger section of the universe. The pisots are not unsimilar to the mutants at Marvel. It’s just that Grant Morrison destroyed the X-Men and then Bendis found several ways to make it even worse. With Secret Weapons, it’s a reminder that in the Valiant Universe there’s still a world of possibility with the psiots and that’s refreshing and enjoyable to read.

I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
