Review: Microcosmics
By Oliver Gerlach
Microcosmics is a collection of short, wordless comics about strange alien worlds and peoples, all written and drawn by the phenomenally talented Christine Larsen. It’s an odd collection of little stories, but one that I was thoroughly saddened to reach the end of. This collection is utterly delightful, and well worth your time and money.
Review: Gently Murder Me
By Dustin Cabeal
Gently Murder Me is one of the most interesting breakup stories I’ve ever read in comic form. There are several short stories that make up the book, and each features a different artist, but all have a unifying style and design.
Review: What is a Glacier?
By Dustin Cabeal
I wanted to check this book out based on the title. It was quirky and strange and seemed like it would be a fun read. The story is actually autobiographical. It follows creator Sophie Yanow’s trip to Iceland.
Review: Darkest Night: Love
By Dustin Cabeal
With any character driven story it’s always the character’s motivations that drive the story and make it worth reading. Darkest Night: Love attempts this, it does try, but in the end, I couldn’t see what the character’s motivations were and found too many of their choices to be lacking any sense of logic.
Review: I Thought YOU Hated Me
By Dustin Cabeal
Lately, I’ve taken to reading a lot of autobiographical comics. Haven’t stumbled across more than a few I enjoy, I was bound to find a few that were just okay. Unfortunately, that’s the case with I Thought YOU Hated Me.
Review: Oasis #1-8
By Dustin Cabeal
Here’s a little inside baseball for you, when I’m sent more than one issue to review I tend to panic about it. It seems like this impossible task because it’s not some b.s. comic from a publisher or writer I’m familiar with; it’s this unknown quantity, and while that’s exciting, I get sent a lot of stuff I don’t personally care to read. Titles I wouldn’t have picked out to read on my own and so when I see eight issues in my inbox it becomes a commitment of time and effort to get through all eight issues and give them a fair shake regardless of if I would pick them myself.
Review: Batman Beyond #11
By Ashley Gibbs
Well, this story arc has been a wild ride, for sure. Batman Beyond #11 marks the end of this particular story arc, concluding the fight between Terry and Damien -sadly it’s underwhelming. While I’ve enjoyed the story itself, the more I read the more I was nagged with the logistics of it. The suit that Terry is wearing is dangerous and will push him to fight even if his body and mind can’t take it giving him an easy out as to why he’s fighting Damien and actually surviving in the first place. The suit robs Terry of his agency, until this issue of course where suddenly he has the power to overcome it. However the story arc does a good job of introducing Damien into the Batman Beyond world and this issue gives us a bit of closer as well.
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?
