Review: Sink #2
By Dustin Cabeal
I told you I would be back for this review. Sink is by far one of the best series I’ve read this year. It is not for the faint of heart as the violence is at times horrific. It is almost as if John Lees is carving out a new style of horror, a style that’s frightening realistic and yet not in a throwback way. It’s not like Rob Zombie’s movies in which you have to ignore any sense of modernism and transport yourself to a bygone era. No, instead it’s insanely realistic and modern making it just so frightening. Also, goddamn clowns, not in this issue, but in general.
Review: I’m Not Here
By Dustin Cabeal
To be honest and upfront, I’m not sure I understood this comic book. That’s not something that’s fun to write because any reviewer hopes that they “got” the material so that they can review it properly. The thing with I’m Not Here is that it’s very abstract. It relies on the reader to make their own guesses and assumptions.
Review: Rose #6
By Dustin Cabeal
Cameron Davis’ Rose is an interesting comic in the modern industry. It looks like classic Archie and sounds like Family Circus. Your level of enjoyment with Rose will greatly depend on your feelings towards both franchises
Review: Super Robot Mayhem #1
By Oliver Gerlach
Issue #2 Now on Kickstarter
Super Robot Mayhem seems to be half way between Pacific Rim and Alien, and if that isn’t a pitch that at least sounds fun to you then I’m not convinced you have any sense of adventure. It’s a story of sinister alien histories and giant smashy robots and, although there isn’t a lot of robot mayhem in this first issue, there’s a lot to like in here.
Review: Justice League of America #13
By Jonathan Edwards
Let's hit the ground running with this review; after finally straightening itself out so that its greatest sin was just being boring last issue, Justice League of America immediately missteps right back into the world of excessive, clunky exposition and underdeveloped concepts. I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm really not. I figure me not being surprised by that is itself not that surprising to anyone who's read at least one or two of my prior JLA reviews. But come on, no shit that wasn't Ray Palmer at the end of the previous issue, and now you're going to start off with multiple pages of exposition, completely forced and contrived conflict between Ryan, Lobo, and Killer Frost, and then you're going to cut away back to Black Canary and Ray fighting Afterthought? Well, at least that last bit was the only cutaway in the whole issue, and it's actually managing to build a slight amount of intrigue. However, the fact remains that it takes until a third of the way into this issue for the main plot to actually start progressing again. But even once it does, more exposition bogs it down, and then the issue is over without much else happening.
Review: Go Go Power Rangers #2
By Jonathan Edwards
Despite having reviewed a smattering of Power Rangers-related comics, and continuing to do so with this one, I still wouldn't really call myself a fan of the franchise. As a kid I did watch several of the series, and I really liked the toys, but I don't think I ever specifically cared about the characters or the circumstances they found themselves in. I liked the Red Ranger because he was red, and red was my favorite color, not because of who was under the mask. And honestly, I think that probably just carried over into my adult life. I like the core concept, but I have no attachment to any given Rangers, villains, story arcs, or what have you. If there was an exception it'd be Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and maybe, just maybe, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie too. But even then, those spots were nowhere near soft enough to make me care for a second about the reboot Power Rangers film that came out earlier this year. I've heard good things from a friend or two of mine, but I see nothing other than one big boring CG-fest. Also, the new suits suck, but I digress. If at this point you're wondering why then I'm reviewing this book, I have an answer for you: Dan Mora. If you happened to have read my review for Klaus and the Witch of Winter and/or the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers 2017 Annual, you know what that means. If you didn't, put simply, I love his artwork. Like, a lot. So when this series was announced with Mora on art duties, I immediately planned to pick it up. And after reading and quite enjoying the first issue, here I am to review the second.
Review: James Bond: Moneypenny #1
By Dustin Cabeal
When I saw that Dynamite was only giving Moneypenny one issue, I was instantly disappointed. I’m a fan of the new Moneypenny and so reading her back story intrigued me a lot, but a one-shot pretty much assured that it would be a big hit or a miss. It’s, unfortunately, a miss for me.
Review: Bombshells United #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Having never read any of the Bombshell titles and only enjoying the T-Shirts, I had no expectations going into this series. Frankly, I was curious because of the different little universes that DC’s been able to make, maintain and build a fan base. Injustice has always had rave reviews from readers and critics and Bombshells must be doing something to have gotten to thirty plus issues on the main series and warranted a spin off.
Review: Crosswind #3
By Daniel Vlasaty
I don’t have much of an opinion on the genre of body swapping stories. I’ve seen some movies. I’ve read some things. But I’ve just never really given it much thought. I think because it’s too simplistic of a thing. You have two people, and they’re either miserable or bad or mad or sad or whatever, and then something magical or mystical happens that swaps their mind with someone else’s. And then there’s a period of time where they try to figure out what happened. Why they’ve been swapped. Or whatever. And ultimately they’ll learn that in order to switch back they will have to learn a lesson. They’ll learn that maybe they don’t have it so bad. Or maybe it’s not so easy to be someone else. They’ll learn that they’re smart and good and I don’t know. Whatever you get where I’m going with this. Probably. Maybe. Anyway. This is my review of Crosswinds #3. A body swapping, mobster/suburban step-mom romp.
Review: Mitch Hammer #1
By Oliver Gerlach
Mitch Hammer #1 is described by its writer as “silly fun with a splash of Nextwave, flaunting its girth in the manner of Shirtless Bear Fighter.” That’s not an entirely inaccurate description. Contained within this issue is a great deal of silly fun, clearly influenced by titles such as the two mentioned. Obviously it’s not Nextwave, because Nextwave is unique and special, but it shares a similar sense of fun and a similar use of wild balls-to-the-wall action for pure entertainment value. It’s the story of a construction worker fighting mad science at a local community college, and is exactly as serious as you might expect: not remotely.
