Review: Sisters of Sorrow #2
By Dustin Cabeal
After my last tongue lashing for this series, I bet you’re wondering why I’m back again? Well, I do like to give things more than one chance because you never know when something could surprise you. That didn’t happen here in case you were wondering. No, unfortunately, it’s just more of the same. Passed on TV scripts being poorly transposed into comic books.
Review: The Hard Place #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The Hard Place is clearly a story that’s not meant to be judged by the first issue alone. Which makes a review for the first issue all the more difficult to write. Here we are though, and I can only judge what’s here in this first issue.
Review: Hi-Fi Fight Club #1
By Dustin Cabeal
If you read comics and proclaim to love comics, then you should read Hi-Fi Fight Club this week. If I did a pick of the week or some such crap, then this would be it. If I had a spinner rack at a comic shop with recommendations that people “in the know” scoffed at because they already knew the book was cool, this would be in that spot. I would never know it was in that spot, but it would be there.
Review: Fowl Language: The Struggle Is Real
By Dustin Cabeal
This ended up being the second comic about parenting from the male perspective that I’ve read in as many weeks. Fowl Language has some chuckles for sure, but it wasn’t always wildly entertaining.
Review: Batman is Trustworthy
By Dustin Cabeal
Having read the previous two books in the Capstone/DC kids books, I decided to give it one more shot because I really would love a kids Batman book that I could share with my son. The same problem persists in Batman is Trustworthy as it did in Be A Star, Wonder Woman and Bedtime for Batman. The message isn’t subtle and the equivalent of me just telling my child to do something while showing them a picture of Batman and saying the word “Batman” over and over.
Review: Bettie Page #2
By Dustin Cabeal
After a lackluster first issue, I decided to give this series another shot. Unfortunately, it’ll be the last shot I give it. It’s not a bad comic. I’m not quitting it because the story is awful or because the artwork is unenjoyable. It’s just a boring comic book.
Review: One-Punch Man vol. 12
By Dustin Cabeal
If there’s a hotter franchise to come from Japan in the past few years, then I don’t know what it is. I have been approached by so many people regarding One-Punch Man due to the anime, that it shows that it’s transcended just being a manga.
Review: Southern Bastards #17
By Zeb Larson
Southern Bastards is finally back, after a long hiatus. Both Sebastian Girner, the series editor, and Jason Latour lost their fathers within a few weeks of each other, and understandably this pushed back publication of the book. But I’ll be selfish and won’t lie: it’s good, damned good, to finally have this series back. We’re in the middle of several different threads of narrative payoff even as new ones take their place. All of the different factions and people around Boss want him dead, and he’s running out of ways to make himself indispensable to them. For once, his biggest problem isn’t going to be what happens next on the gridiron.

009 - Get ready for something different! This is not the return of the usual Comic Bastards Podcast that you may have been waiting for. Instead, it's something different. It's just me, Dustin, and I'm going to review some books... quickly. Okay, not that quick it turns out, but I will run through about seven or eight titles in what I hope will be a weekly show that I put together. Be sure to check out the video as well... it's me staring at the camera and doodling on the screen... enjoy?
