Review: InferNoct #1

By Jonathan Edwards

I literally had no idea what this was going in. I'd never heard of it, nor had I even read a synopsis. Really, the title just kind of jumped out at me from the spreadsheet. I figured InferNoct was probably a portmanteau of the words "inferno" and "nocturnal," which was at least as intriguing as it was vague. And after a quick glance at the art, I figured I might as well commit whole hog. So, I did.  And after finishing this first installment, I can't really say whether or not my prediction of the title's meaning was accurate. But, I can say that it was a decent issue if ultimately flawed.

Review: Motor Crush #6

By Jonathan Edwards

I read the first story arc of Motor Crush and liked it well enough. It wasn't anything ground breaking, but it was fun, stylish, and had a decent enough dose of intrigue. Plus, it left off on a pretty big cliff hanger. So let me say up front, this issue does not resolve that. In fact, it does the opposite. Motor Crush #6 is a prequel issue focusing on Sully while Domino's still a child. It also happens to touch on how Sully lost his leg and the rise of Crush in Nova Honda. All in all, it feels more like a standalone story than the beginning of a new arc. And though it does do a pretty good job of showcasing Sully's character, it does feel somewhat at the cost of Domino losing some of her own agency.

Review: Redlands #2

By Justin McCarty

The witches of Redlands are back! Like Dustin pointed out in his review, issue one was more of a prologue.  Issue two has the witches running the town as the town’s law enforcement. Redlands doesn’t seem to be aware of who the ladies really are, while they story moves ahead some period of time pretty much to the present day. Now the ladies have a mysterious adversary bent on outing them.

Review: Lazaretto #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

This is the second new #1 issue I am reviewing this week. And this is also the second new series I am jumping into without knowing anything at all about it. I had never even heard of Lazaretto until I saw it pop up on our review list for the week. And I chose to review it based on the cover art alone. Something I have done many times before. And not just with comics, but with movies and books and music. They say never judge a book by its cover. And that’s true in this case too. But the exact opposite of what the saying actually means. Because in the case of Lazaretto, the cover is the best, and possibly only, good thing about this book.

Review: Dastardly & Muttley #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Blink.

Blink.

Blink. Blink. Blink.

If you came here to read a review telling you what this comic is about, then I’m afraid that I must inform you that I haven’t the foggiest. I know what I read. I understand what I read. I have no clue what the larger story will be about or why this tale is being told. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s the truth. I have no clue what Dastardly & Muttley is about; I only know what happened in the issue.

Review: Elsewhere #2

By Ben Snyder

 Elsewhere #2 is a much quieter issue than the one prior, and it is better off for it. Not much action happened in this issue. However, the central characters of Earhart and D.B are only getting richer. With high-quality art and an interesting take on famous figures, Elsewhere is beginning to show potential for a fun, entertaining series.
