Review: An Introduction to Alcohol
By Dustin Cabeal
Having read a great deal of biographical and autobiographical comics this week has been interesting. I’ve gotten to see what works and didn't and it is a delicate tight rope to walk. An Introduction to Alcohol is a collection of stories from 30 Miles of Crazy! It’s autobiographical and written and drawn by Karl Christian Krumpholz. It’s also from my home state so shout out to Colorado.
Review: Batman Beyond #9
By Ashley Gibbs
When the Batman Beyond cartoon first aired in 1999 until 2001, there was no official character who was the son of Batman. The series made a point of explaining why neither Dick nor Tim had taken up the batmantle, so the role fell to Terry. However, now we have Damian Wayne, the biological son of Bruce and Talia and the next logical question would be why didn’t he become the next Batman after Bruce was too old to handle it? Batman Beyond #9 explains this for us very well as Damian explains his story to Terry as they fight throughout the issue as well as Bruce’s own memories. It’s a good issue, even if I don’t care for the explanation given.
Review: Rise of the Dungeon Master
By Dustin Cabeal
If you haven’t gathered by the extensive amount of reviews I’m doing this week, I’ve had a lot of books sitting on my desk waiting to be cleared out. Rise of the Dungeon Master is one of the few that have been on my desk for too long. Ideally, I would have loved to have posted this review when the book released, but it’s been a hell of a summer for me off the site.

Review: The Dregs vol. 1
By Patrick Wolf
When people think of Vancouver, they tend to think of what they see on TV: the 2010 Olympics, the beautiful mountains, the set of Dead Pool, etc. What they don’t think of is its hidden horrors and poverty. I don’t tell a lot of people this, but I'm originally from Vancouver—specifically one of its worst parts, Surrey. Growing up in Surrey, I remember passing by drug dealers and prostitutes every day. In fact, I passed them so often I even got to know some of them. Unfortunately, I never got to know them that well because they’d always just mysteriously ‘vanish’. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I just assumed what everyone else did: they either got clean or overdosed. Years later I discovered the truth: a serial killer named Robert Pickton was preying on them by the dozens.
What made the situation even worse, though, was that Pickton’s success was partly due to the apathy of people like me. Everyone assumed what I did: the missing either overdosed or got clean. Nobody cared, and so Pickton continued to have his way until his murder count reached the 100’s. In many ways, The Dregs is an allegory of this horror. It’s not afraid to show Vancouver’s darker side (specifically East Hastings Street), and it does so through the use of the brilliant, Swiftian metaphor: the cannibalistic café. So, you ask, is the story any good? My answer: It’s more than good. It’s a masterwork.
