Review: Mech Cadet Yu #2

By Daniel Vlasaty

I really enjoyed the first issue of Mech Cadet Yu when it came out last month. I thought it was a solid opening issue. And I was excited to jump back into this “boy and his giant robot” story.  I wanted to see how Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa continued to grow this story that is not entirely unique or original but is still being presented interestingly and engagingly.

Review: Wolfenstein #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Remember the first Wolfenstein game for the original X-Box? That shit was great, in fact, that was the last time that Wolfenstein as a franchise was great. Everything since has been utter crap, and this comic is no different. Sigh, I shouldn’t say that. This comic isn’t terrible, but it’s not good either.

Review: Justice League of America #14

By Jonathan Edwards

Of course, Lobo isn't dead. I mean, there was absolutely no chance that DC would okay him being killed off in a random issue of JLA. Furthermore, it's clear from all of the cookie cutter conversations that he and Batman have had that Orlando is fully intent on having Lobo stick around for whatever "big" thing the Caped Crusader keeps insisting is on the horizon. So then why even have him be struck be "atomic lightning" in the first place? All it does is create inconsistencies within the story.

Review: Ninjak #0

By Dustin Cabeal

If I’m not mistaken, this is the end of the Matt Kindt era of Ninjak. Which is a damn shame. Not that I’m not looking forward to Christos Gage’s take on the character, but I have enjoyed Kindt at the helm of the character. On a side note, I could be wrong, but it seems as if he’s scaling back his work at Valiant, which is a shame. I have enjoyed him as an architect of sorts at the publisher.

Review: Retcon #1

By Jonathan Edwards

From the official synopsis of it as "the reboot of a comic book miniseries that has never existed," Retcon #1 sounded like the kind of high concept and metatextual affair you'd expect from someone like Grant Morrison. In practice, it actually reminds me quite substantially of Si Spurrier's Cry Havoc from last year. Except, where that book had a thorough understanding and deep respect for the legends and folklore that it referenced, this one merely grabs a couple low-hanging fruits, develops them very slightly, and then tries to cobble together something meaningful out of it.  But, the biggest problem here is that it just isn't what it says on the tin.
