Review: Food Wars! vol. 19

By Dustin Cabeal

Okay, that cover is just weird. You have to read the volume to understand it and even then… it’s weird. But hey, nineteen volumes later it’s probably hard to come up with covers that are super interesting and different without relying on T&A. Let’s all just be happy that it’s a deer and not a woman dressed as a deer because we know how that would look.

Review: Twin Star Exorcists vol. 9

By Dustin Cabeal

Volume nine isn’t the strongest volume of Twin Star Exorcists. There’s a lot of great little moments and several important reveals, but overall the battles and random talking goes on for far too much of the volume. Hopefully, it’s not indicative of what to expect from the series going forward. It would be an absolute shame if it were to go the route of My Hero Academia and slow down the amazing pace that the story has managed to have up until this volume.

Review: S.O.S. vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

S.O.S. is the second Mangatravellers title I’m reviewing today, but unlike the first review, I have a harder time calling S.O.S. a manga. Really, I would still rather just call everything comics since that’s what they are and I don’t see the point of using regional terms outside of said region, but that’s for another day.

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 9

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s with a heavy heart that I say this, but I’m growing tired of My Hero Academia. The formula seems to be how can we not physically advance Deku, but still injury the fuck out of him and frankly it’s worn on me for some time. I won’t pretend that I know exactly what comes next in this story, but having mistakenly viewed some art from future chapters, it seems like this problem isn’t exactly solved, but challenged differently… a way that doesn’t look interesting in case you were wondering.

Review: Mighty Jack and the Goblin King

By Dustin Cabeal

Mighty Jack was one of the best graphic novels I read last year. I wasn’t surprised in the least that Ben Hatke already had a follow up to the series this year because he’s a machine and produces so many great stories and comics each year. It is impressive considering he writes and illustrates it all himself and the story and art never take a dip.

Review: R.u.N. vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

R.u.N. is the first manga I’ve read that’s not from Japan. It’s from the Greek studio Mangatellers, and while I’m not here to debate what is and isn’t a manga, I will be reviewing and labeling R.u.N. as a manga. And if you have a problem with that then know that 99% of the time I call comic books, graphic novels, a percentage of kids’ books, manga, manhwa, and manhua all comics. It’s just comics to me people.

Review: Batman Beyond #10

By Ashley Gibbs

We’ve been reintroduced to Damian Wayne, Bruce’s son with Talia al Ghul. He’s taken up his grandfather’s mantle and cause, shunning his father and the opportunity to be Batman. In the previous issue, it seemed to be the fault of the suit and its AI, at least that’s what Bruce wants to believe, but in Batman Beyond #10 Damian sets the record straight that his choices were his own. This issue is mainly exposition with some flashbacks and not much action, which is a bummer but I did enjoy the father-son discussions and the look into Damian’s thought process.
