Review: Injustice 2 #8

By Ashley Gibbs

Despite the action packed cover and the name “Screams and Arrows,” Injustice 2 #8 is a very subdued issue. I didn’t find this to be a bad thing, but the cover is certainly misleading. This issue deals with the aftermath of Ra’s Al Ghul’s attack on the wedding of Green Arrow and Black Canary, as he kidnaps their son and Black Lightning’s daughters. It serves to move characters into their next position and sets up for the confrontation between the heroes and Ra’s. I enjoyed this issue, the story was good, as was the artwork and it had humor as well. While it makes seem like filler, it was still an enjoyable read.

Review: The Legend of Pinky – Book 1

By Dustin Cabeal

The dialogue shines in The Legend of Pinky. The character ooze personality because of this, but it doesn’t necessarily make them interesting characters. The story takes place in the late 20s and follows the titular character of Pinky. Not the best nickname, but as he says it, he’s been called that since birth and isn’t offended by it in the least bit.

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.
