By Shanel Kamara

Review: The Other Side
By Daniel Vlasaty
I’ve seen enough movies and read enough books to understand that war is not a pretty thing. I never had to actually go to war to figure that out. War is hell, as they say. It is scary and messy and fucked up. It’s honestly something that I don’t think a movie or a book or a comic can accurately capture. Again, I’ve never been to war and am only making assumptions here. But think about it. How can something like fighting in a war ever really be condensed down into a few hours on the screen or a few hundred pages in a book? We’re only shown the “juicy” parts – juicy for us, fucking hell for the people involved in the – the action and the suspense and the intrigue. We’re not really ever shown the inner turmoil or the toll it takes on the person. Maybe we are in a way that we can see, but not in a way that we can feel or anything like that. I guess what I’m trying to say here is that this book is fucked up. The Other Side by Jason Aaron and Cameron Stewart is a fucked up look at an already pretty fucked up piece of history.

Review: Mech Cadet Yu #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
I’ve never been super big into giant robots. I don’t remember liking Transformers growing up, and don’t even get me started on the recent movies. I liked Pacific Rim fine but it wasn’t anything that changed my life. I don’t know. I don’t have anything particularly against the giant robot/Mecha genre. My interests just usually fall elsewhere I guess. So what you’re probably wondering, then, is why I chose to review Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa’s Mech Cadet Yu. And I don’t have an answer for that. I’d have to guess it was because of Miyazawa’s cover of the Mech holding a small boy in its giant hand in what appears to be an American desert. Anyway, here’s my review.
Review: Spy Seal #1
By Jonathan Edwards
The last thing I read from Rich Tommaso was his book She Wolf, and I really wanted to like it. The story was a surreal one and greatly aided by his unique art style. Unfortunately, it failed to amount to anything more than a superficial monster book with a penchant for focusing on sexuality and young women. When I saw the initial announcement for Spy Seal, I questioned whether or not I should give it a shot. Eventually, I figured his writing might benefit from the change in genre, plus I knew I'd still enjoy the artwork. And in the end, I think that bit of faith was somewhat rewarded.
Review: Dead of Winter #1
By Jonathan Edwards
Apparently, this is based on a tabletop game. I mention this first because I didn't realize that when I initially signed up for Dead of Winter #1, and finally learning it is what made some things make more sense. Well, one thing made more sense: the title. Because, while the book does technically take place in Winter, it doesn't really drive home the whole "endless Winter" thing that's supposed to be accompanying the zombie apocalypse. In fact, I only know that that's supposed to be a thing because I read the plot synopsis inside the front cover. Seriously, I can't remember a single point where anyone even made a passing reference to it being anything other than a normal old Winter. Furthermore, there's not really anything showing why the Winter makes this scenario particularly more problematic than any other zombie apocalypse. Sure, we can infer that it's really cold, and that probably sucks. But, wouldn't reduced temperatures also negatively impact the zombies as well? For example, literally freezing them if and when it gets cold enough? That seems like a pretty even break to me in the grand scheme of things. Anyway, my point is, I presume the Winter setting plays a bigger part as a mechanic in the tabletop game, and since this is an adaptation, I have no further issues with the title. The issue itself on the other hand...
Review: Bloodshot Salvation #1
By Patrick Wolf
Some of the best stories I’ve ever read had incredibly boring intros. Examples that come to mind are Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, Sakaki’s Scrapped Princess, and Spielberg’s Schindler’s List. While it’s too early to tell if Bloodshot Salvation belongs in the same category as these titans, one thing is clear: its first issue is definitely skimpy on the action.
Review: Harley Quinn and Batman #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Looking at that cover, I’m sure more than a few people in their 30s and early 40s were like, fuck yeah, Batman The Animated Series as a comic book, but not that shitty one they did for kids back in the 90s. That’s what my thought was, minus the shitty comic part because I actually liked them. Then I opened it and quickly realized that it was The Adventures of Batman & Robin… Not Batman The Animated Series.
Review: Elsewhere #1
By Ben Snyder
Elsewhere #1 is a fast paced streamlined entry point into a classic fish out of water tale. The clever twist in Elsewhere is that the fishes are Amelia Earhart and another surprise famed lost pilot. Elsewhere #1 is mostly solid plot and art wise, but the real shining star of this series is the character Earhart, who is equal parts moxie and human.
Review: Adventure Time x Regular Show #1
By Dustin Cabeal
It seems one crossover wasn’t enough for BOOM!/kaboom! this week and they opted for a second. The first being a Grumpy Cat/Garfield crossover (still haven’t a clue why GC gets top billing) and the second pairing up their two biggest Cartoon Network licenses in an event that I can only imagine a few fans being pleased to read. When I saw it, I couldn’t begin to understand why two shows with completely different comedic styles and tone would be crossed over and what anyone would get out of it. I still don’t know even after reading the damn issue.
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?

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.
