Review: Destroyer #3
By Ashley Gibbs
Here it is, Destroyer #3 brings some much needed backstory on some of the key characters in this series. I will admit I’ve been on the fence as I read the series, I liked it well enough but felt something was missing, and this was it. I wanted to know more about what lead Dr. Baker to where she is now most of all. While this issue is mainly backstory focused there is some action and violence but overall not as bad as previous issues in that regard though I do think things are really amping up to get messy.
Review: Royal City #5
By Jonathan Edwards
Royal City #5 marks the end of the first story arc. Although, that is perhaps a loose definition. Because, though the stakes are higher this time around, I didn't find this issue to be distinctly more revelatory or terminating than any previous issue. I don't mean that as a bad thing either. I tore through this issue, enjoying every moment of my reading. And when I realized I was at the end, I only wanted more. But, it looks like we'll have to wait for October for the next arc, where Lemire sends us back to 1993 and the final days of Tommy Pike. However, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's on the issue at hand. Namely, issue #5 of Royal City.
Review: R: IL Persona Volume #1
By Patrick Wolf
I’m going to begin by listing off my top 5 favorite manga: (1) Hunter X Hunter, (2) Elfen Lied, (3) Berserk, (4) Samurai Champloo, and (5) Death Note. I’m beginning this way because I want to make two points clear: first, I want the reader to know what I consider top tier manga to be; second, if you’re familiar with any of the manga on this list, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how outstanding R: IL Persona is: it’s as good as any of the five just listed.
Review: Generation Gone #1
By Jonathan Edwards
My last experience with Ales Kot's work was dropping his series Wolf after issue #7. And, that's actually kind of funny to me. Because, that was the book that got me going back into my local comic shop for the first time in a few years. I had picked up the first issue the day it came out after I saw it advertised in an email from Comixology (which at that point I had only really used to get a few free comics). It was a decompressed and oblique read, but it was still interesting enough for me to want to come back for the next installment. Unfortunately, the more I read of it, the more Kot seemed to prioritize showing disparate elements of the world he'd created over tying together the plot threads he continued to introduce and leave hanging. And when some connections were finally made, it was too little, too late, and not satisfying. So like I said, I eventually dropped it. But at that point, I was already reading a few other books I'd found and decided to pick up as well when coming into the shop for Wolf. So like it or not, Ales Kot played a catalytic part in my relationship with comics. Without him, I very well might not be writing this review right now, and perhaps that's the biggest reason I wanted to look at Generation Gone.
Review: Prometheus
By Patrick Wolf
Prometheus is the ancient Greek Titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humankind. In many ways, creator Ryan Little and his team are trying to do something similar in bestowing the public with some good old-fashioned revenge entertainment. While Little’s work isn’t quite as grand as the advent of fire, it’s still pretty good and certainly worth a flip-through. I just hope his Prometheus doesn’t meet the same fate as the Titan who inspired it.
Review: Time & Vine #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Never judge a comic by its title. That is going to be very hard to do with Time & Vine because it is very cheesy. IDW has been pumping out new IP’s, collecting web series and reprinting forgotten titles as they expand their IP’s outside of the world of comics. It’s a smart move, and one that I’m sure has helped a lot of creators see their work displayed on a bigger platform. Sadly, for me, I haven’t enjoyed any of the titles I’ve read. Granted, I haven’t read them all but damn near. That was, until, Time & Vine, which seems like a web comic collection. I don’t know that for sure, but that’s the vibe I got.
Review: Clue #2
By Ashley Gibbs
The first issue of Clue left two players dead, and Clue #2 promises to add to the body count. With a cast of colorful characters trapped in a large mansion full of secrets and numerous items that can be used as weapons, this dark and stormy night might prove lethal for everyone involved. Based on the beloved game of the same name, this series is witty and fun while also having plenty of mystery to it. Readers are in the dark of the true motives of everyone involved adding to the suspense though the only character who knows everything, Mr. Boddy, is unfortunately dead so it’s up to the guests to get to the bottom of everything along with readers.
Review: The Wild Storm #6
By Dustin Cabeal
By now, you’re all tired of me talking about this book. I promise not to say, “I swear this book doesn’t need my review” this time around. It will be short and sweet because hey, it’s the end of the first arc and it’s chalk full of good stuff!
Review: Kill the Minotaur #2
By Ben Snyder
Kill the Minotaur #2 continues to be one of the most surprising books out there. A well worn out tale, this story really has no place being interesting. We all know what happens with the Minotaur and Theseus. But Kill The Minotaur #2 does enough to deviate from the norm, introducing the concept that Theseus is possibly not going to be the hero king we all expect him to and showing it’s sci-fi horror roots, to make the book amazing and one of the best reads this week.
Review: Sisters of Sorrow #1
By Dustin Cabeal
A few years ago this title would have been right at home at a different publisher. Slap some sexy variants on it and bang; you have a cover book with little to no substance inside. The crazy thing is, they don’t even publish books like this anymore.
