Group Review: Mister Miracle #1
By Daniel, Jonathan, and Dustin
Welcome to the latest Comic Bastards group review. Everyone loves Tom King so we thought we’d tackle his latest DC series Mister Miracle, with a group review. Each of the participating reviewers will give their thoughts and individual scoring for the issue so enjoy.
Synopsis: Darkseid is…
Review: Tongues #1
By Dustin Cabeal
We like to pretend that when it comes to entertainment we either like it or we don’t. That everything is 50/50 and so statements like, “I knew I would either love or hate this by looking at it” sound dumb. In reality, when you read so many comics you find that these 50/50 moments are actually not as common as they seem. That the grey area in which you like something for the story and wish the art was better is more common than I loved it or I hated it. I knew from the moment I saw Tongues that I would probably love it from the get go and that only a bad story could change that for me. It was a 50/50 moment in which my tastes said, “Fuck yeah” and my reviewer side said, “Let’s wait and see.”
Review: The Trolltooth Wars
By Patrick Wolf
Did you ever have two friends fall-out, only to discover the rift between them was just the beginning of a bigger divide between you and all of your friends? Well, The Trolltooth Wars deals with a similar situation, only on a much wider scale. What if your warring friends were powerful mages? And what if the winner would come for you and your other friends next? How would you stop the war without having a decisive winner or loser? The Trolltooth Wars deals with this problem, but in a very interesting and entertaining fashion. So, is it worth all the hype it’s been receiving on kickstarter? Absolutely.
Review: Replicator #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Replicator wears its influences on its sleeve. It’s sci-fi that’s not unfamiliar in that a plague has swept the planet forcing everyone that’s disease free to wall themselves up and everyone that’s sick or poor to fend for themselves on the outside. It’s a class based system, but there’s not much acknowledgment of that in the story. It is a device that makes it easy to point out that the rich people are bad guys, the poor are the victims, and the middle class is where the story takes place.
Review: The Unsound #3
By Daniel Vlasaty
I didn’t really like the first issue of The Unsound. It just came off as boring and unoriginal and it didn’t hit the spots in my brain I think it was supposed to hit. I don’t know. I told myself I was going to be done with the book, that I had too much other stuff to read. I’ve told myself this a lot over the years. That if I’m not one hundred percent into a book that I should cut it out of my life. That there are plenty other books out there that I actually do like that I should spend my time reading.
Review: Injustice 2 #7
By Ashley Gibbs
Finding happiness in a time of war isn’t easy but it can lift spirits and keep people sane. Injustice 2 #7 focuses on the wedding of Black Canary and the dimension-hopping Oliver Queen she’s with now. As much as enjoy classic superhero action I also like the simpler moments like this that help round out their personalities and lives. This issue promises to deliver action, romance and plenty of drama for not only the lovebirds but everyone around them. If you think a superhero can ever have a peaceful wedding then you’re sorely mistaken.
Review: Samaritan Veritas #3
By Ashley Gibbs
Samaritan Veritas #3 brings us the exciting conclusion of this short but impactful series. Samantha Copeland is a genius hacker who came out of hiding to seek revenge on the corrupt President of the United States linked to the death of someone dear to her. She’s used her computer skills and the dark web to get pretty far, kidnapping rich but morally bankrupt people to reach her end goal. The situation is reaching a boiling point, and Sam may not even make it out of this alive, but she’s determined to take the President down with her.
