Review: Life-Time #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Indie comics are hard to make. There are so many factors and reasons why I rarely see a second or third issue of an indie comic. Lately, I’ve seen those odds improve, but with it comes another catch. Do I want to review it? The thing is, we get a lot of comics and so when I’m on the fence about a comic I have to decide am I going to give it another chance or move on to something else sitting in my inbox. In the case of Life-Time, I scored the first issue rather low, and when that happens, I usually don’t want to read the next issue. Listen, I love indie comics, I love helping them out with reviews and exposure, but that doesn’t mean that I love all of them. They’re not kids; I can tell you who's my favorite.

Review: Frankenstein For Mayor

By Dustin Cabeal

I don’t know why, but I thought this would be a humorous book. Just to clarify, it is not. The story takes place in modern day Transylvania. Here vampires, werewolves, and witches co-exist, but not equally. The werewolves are treated like second class citizens and often killed for the smallest crimes or wrongfully killed for other crimes. One werewolf looks to change all that by waking up Frankenstein and asking him for help in getting some real political power over the vampires. Also, Dracula is the Mayor in case you were wondering.

Review: Golden Kamuy vol. 2

By Dustin Cabeal

The first volume of Golden Kamuy was interesting, but ultimately it lacked something special to hook me on the story. It made jumping into the second volume a bit harder because I wasn’t excited enough to want to continue reading the series. It happens all the times, especially with manga and indie comics, in that the quality of the product is fine, but the interest is never there.

Review: The Cross-Eyed Mutt

By Dustin Cabeal

For some reason, I thought this story would be a super serious story in which a man has to determine, what is art. Thankfully, it did and didn’t end up being about that. From beginning to end, The Cross-Eyed Mutt was a treat. Full of familiar family settings, romance, and art.

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.
