Review: Ghost Station Zero

By Ben Snyder

Ghost Station Zero #1 serves as a continuation of the Codename Baboushka catalogue and a mediocre one at that. Issue #1 sets up another globe trotting quest for Baboushka as she must stop the Russian government from reclaiming their secret and shady past. While obviously mimicking classic spy stories from 007, Ghost Station Zero #1 is just not nearly as interesting.

Review: Grumpy Cat/Garfield #1

By Dustin Cabeal

How the fuck did Grumpy Cat get top billing on this book? Like, what the hell.

I have no idea who the hell this book is for. It seems to be written for children, which is just strange. Grumpy Cat, a former internet meme, gained popularity from internet users who would likely hate this book upon site. Garfield, despite the cartoon shows, Christmas special and terrible live action movies, is a comic strip that’s written for anyone and everyone. Anyone can jump on to Garfield and read it, not just children. Why then is Grumpy Cat/Garfield written for children?

Review: The Reflection E.01

By Shanel Kamara

Okay, I’ll be very frank here; I’m drawing a blank about what to think about this anime series. The Reflection is very distinct to any other anime series to air; in terms of the style, the plot, and the setting, The Reflection resembles an American comic. I am fully aware that the anime series is a project that Studio DEEN and the illustrious Stan Lee have worked on, but I still can’t get my head around the notion of an anime series that looks as if it’s come straight from the pages of a comic book. It’s literally as if I’m watching a comic book series brought life.

Review: Transdimensional #1
Review: Transdimensional #1

By Justin McCarty

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.
