Review: My Little Pony the Movie Prequel #3
By Ashley Gibbs
I’ll be blunt unless you’re a child or young adult, or a brony, then My Little Pony the Movie Prequel #3 isn’t for you. After reading three issues of this movie tie-in series I’m left underwhelmed and downright bored. Of course, a huge reason is that the main ponies who fans love are nowhere to be found. This series is about characters who will appear in the movie alongside them, who I don’t know or have any connection to yet and this doesn’t help. It’s also simple storytelling with heavy-handed messages of friendship thrown in, and decent enough artwork. I stepped into this miniseries hoping to get hyped for the movie, but so far I’m left with indifference.
Preview: The Harcourt Legacy #1
Press Release
Occultist Edward Harcourt is dying, and he wants to pass along his secrets. His intended heir is his grandniece Violet, but that’s a problem for his sister Edwina, who wants to keep his legacy for herself. As for Violet, all she wants is some harmony in her troubled family life. But when presented with the idea of a magical solution to all her problems, can Violet focus on what’s real, or will she allow herself to get lost in what might be nothing more than a flight of fancy?
Review: Tales of the Fractured Mind
By Oliver Gerlach
Tales of the Fractured Mind is an anthology comic, which is rare enough. Beyond that, though, it’s a project about mental health, a topic radically underdiscussed in both general life and comics. Even more unusually, this is a large anthology by a single creative team; this is two people discussing a range of mental health issues over the course of 68 pages. I have to admit, my initial excitement at finding a comic discussing a topic I care about greatly was very much tempered on seeing that it was all by the same two people. I generally believe that serious topics, when treated in anthology form like this, benefit from the widest range of voices and perspectives possible. So, could this work?
Review: The Shadow v3 #1
By Justin McCarty
The Shadow knows! The newest Shadow story puts The Shadow in present day up against a mysterious evil called The Leviathan. We don’t get much about the Leviathan in this issue but what we do get is promising. I was excited to see a new Shadow story; I’m a huge fan! This book is a great start to a new Shadow series.

Meaning you'll see stuff from Creator x Creator, Lupin The 3rd, Soul Eater and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid! I'm sure all of those make sense and stuff. Enjoy!

Review: The Last Arrival #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The Last Arrival left me with a strange feeling. I wasn’t quite sure I liked it, but I definitely wanted to read more. At the very least I would say that The Last Arrival has accomplished the hardest feat in comic books, making someone want to come back for the next issue. Seriously, that’s not an easy feat and probably even harder to accomplish with someone like me.
Review: Slashermania
By Dustin Cabeal
Slashermania is one of those stories that most people will either love or hate. Very few readers will find themselves in the middle with this reviewer. There’s so much I enjoyed about Slashermania, but then also an incredible amount that annoyed or frustrated me. I teeter tottered back and forth the entire time I was reading. That may work for some people, but that’s not a great reading experience for me.
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.
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.

I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
