Review: It’s Snot Fair!

By Dustin Cabeal

In my constant quest to find kids’ books to enjoy with my son, I tried out. It’s Snot Fair! I’m not one of those parents that shy away from potty humor… which is a big duh if you’ve ever heard a podcast with me on it.

Review: Dark Ark #1

By Patrick Wolf

We all know the story of Noah’s ark: Noah rounds up two of every animal, herds them onto his vessel, and keeps them alive until the great flood subsides. But, what if there was another person with the same idea as Noah? And what if, instead of rescuing the animals of the natural world, this person rescued the monsters of the unnatural world? In this dark reimagining of Noah’s ark, Cullen Bunn continues his hot streak of resurrecting old tales and casting a new light on them. So far, this is definitely his best.

Review: Batman #29

By Daniel Vlasaty

DC, man, you're killing me with all these "wars" and "events" and on and on and on. This is the ever-increasing problem I've been having with superhero comics as of late, especially those from DC. They're all trying to do too much. And in the process, we're losing little bits and pieces of the characters. We're losing the things we love about these characters to – what I'm going to call – the Hollywood movie mentality in comics right now. Big stories with action and energy but not much else. What ever happened to focusing on the smaller things. What ever happened to character development. Not everything has to be END OF THE WORLD motherfucking huge. Not everything has to be earth shattering. But I digress.

Review: Kill The Minotaur #3

By Ben Snyder

Kill The Minotaur #3 is another example of how to craft an interesting story from a famous fable. Chris Pasetto, Christian Cantamessa, and Lukas Ketner continue to take a story everyone has heard before and make it their own by focusing on the characters and the history of the labyrinth.

Review: Batwoman #6

By Isaac Quattlebaum

Batwoman returns with the first part of a brand new arc: Pax Batmana. There’s an immediate change of pace with this issue. It’s set in the distant future specifically: Year Five of the Bat. Gotham City has been converted into a high tech empire ruled by a government of Batmen. We find Batwoman, Kate Kane, as the commander of a colony battleship returning to the occupied city after being gone from some time. From the details we are given it appears that at some point the Batman symbol was taken over by corrupt force resulting in the death of Bruce Wayne. This new world is filled with familiar faces from the Batman family. An eyepatch wearing Jason Todd seems to be Batwoman’s only ally and Harvey Bullock and Renee Montoya also make appearances. Allowing Bruce Wayne to die in this future helped free up the Batman presence that I felt sometimes takes over Batwoman stories. It also gives Kate Kane the burden of feeling guilty for her mentors demise and trying to carry on his legacy.

Reivew: Spectress & Sabanion #1

By Patrick Wolf

Spectress and Sabanion #1 is a solid opening to a story that features a paranormal prison escape from both the prisoner and guard perspectives. While the prison break isn’t quite as explosive as I would've liked, the pacing is still fast enough to keep readers on their toes. So, if you’re into supernatural thrillers from the ghost’s point of view, this might just be what you’re looking for.

Review: Sheena - Queen of the Jungle #0

By Ashley Gibbs

Blonde, bold and beautiful; the iconic Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, is back with her own series giving her a revamp for the modern world. While I am not personally well-versed on the character or her past, I know of her and know who she is the minute she takes the scene. Sheena has been around in one form or another since 1937, being the first female comic book character to have her own ongoing series. She’s also had television series and a movie so chances are you’ve seen her before without even knowing it. I decided to give Sheena #0 a shot to learn more about the character and where these writers planned to take her. This issue is short and serves more as a teaser than anything else and is a decent starting point for a reader who may also be as curious as I was.

Review: Godshaper #5

By Dustin Cabeal

After the last issue, I was left with the impression that this story could go on forever. After this issue, it’s pretty clear that the storyline is ending in the next issue. There’s a lot of surprises and twists in this issue that in hindsight you could sorta see coming if you dissected everything from beginning to end.

Review: Winnebago Graveyard #3

By Daniel Vlasaty

I haven’t liked this book from the beginning, but I keep coming back. I don’t know why. Maybe I hate myself. Or maybe I’m just hoping against hope that Winnebago Graveyard will get better because it’s not all terrible. I like the idea of this book. I like what I think it’s trying to do. But sadly issue #3 doesn’t do anything better than the previous two issues. If anything this might be the worst one yet. Which sucks, because – believe it or not – I don’t actually like giving bad reviews. But anyway, here’s my review of issue #3 of Winnebago Graveyard.
