Review: Quince #1-2

By Dustin Cabeal

I have meant to check out Quince… Well, since the first two issues released. They’re not well past that, but I wanted to get a review down before the series ended and I missed out completely. The concept is that a young girl has her quinceañera and then obtains superpowers for a year.

Review: Mi Sweetheart #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There is so much potential to Mi Sweetheart. The first few pages gave me flashes of Sexcastle, but that quickly faded when the story got going. It starts off clever enough with a hit team being sent to take out an impossible target. The main character of our story is a woman with incredible abilities, but she’s gone “rogue,” so they’ve been sent to kill her. Instead of doing that they drug the driver and leave the country. Then we spend time with the main character and the story trails off from there.

Review: Doctor Crowe #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Doctor Crowe #2 came out a month or so back, but I’m just now getting the time to catch up on the series. If you’re unfamiliar, and you likely are, it’s a series of short stories that are all written by Corey Fryia and illustrated by different creators. It’s a lot like Hellboy or Baltimore in that the stories connected, but don’t rely on you having intimate details of each tale. It's revealed as you read and so really all you have to do is start reading.

Review: A Castle in England

By Dustin Cabeal

It’s not often that I read a graphic novel that I truly dislike. Unfortunately, A Castle in England is one such graphic novel. I can appreciate what it was attempting to do, but ultimately the end product was one that ended up being dull and reparative.

Review: Be A Star, Wonder Woman!

By Dustin Cabeal

Much like the Bedtime for Batman kids book I reviewed several months back, I have a hard time recommending this to anyone. That won’t stop anyone from picking it up, and really, I don’t blame you either. Kids are into Wonder Woman for the first time in years it seems like and in my opinion that is a great thing.

Duel Review: Dark Nights: Metal #1

By Dustin and Daniel

Welcome to our first duel review in a long ass time. A duel review is similar to a group review, but with only two people. I’ll be honest I never know which duel/dual to use… pick the one you like better. Anyway, Daniel and Dustin will give their thoughts on Dark Nights: Metal #1 along with their individual scores! It’s like two reviews… get it?

Synopsis: All the “Meta’s” are “Metal’s” and Batman is from an evil bat tribe.

Review: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, But You Could’ve Done Better

By Dustin Cabeal

I love the title for this book. Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, But You Could’ve Done Better instantly grabs you. Now, not knowing anything about the book beforehand I had my own ideas of what it would be about and let’s just say that it was nothing like my mind wanted it to be. I was, however, able to quickly move on from what I made up and latch on to what it is actually about.

Review: Lady Stuff: Secrets to Being a Woman

By Dustin Cabeal

Lady Stuff won me over with the cover. It got a slight chuckle out of me, and so I knew that I wanted to read it. Now… I’m not a lady, but I am married to one, and so I found this book to be quite amusing. It wasn’t exactly stuff I didn’t know about, but rather for me it was things I can relate to on the other side of the aisle.

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.
