Review: Haunted: Up In Smoke
By Dustin Cabeal
I take no pleasure in writing bad reviews. It is the worst part of being a reviewer. Sure I could be like most sites and just either not review it or pretend that everything was great, but that’s never been our style. If you send a review to Comic Bastards, we’re going to give you an honest review, but you should prepare yourself for that before hitting send.
Review: Millarworld Annual 2017
By Justin McCarty
This year's Millarworld Annual is out! Another new batch of writers and artists to look out for next year. Mark Millar has given a few up-and-coming artists their big break working on a few of Millarworld’s biggest titles. I was excited to see this out; I now have some artists to watch for over the next few months!
Review: Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Recently I treated myself to the Blu-Ray of Big Trouble in Little China. What a great fucking movie. I almost want to end the review here and just put a score for this book, but I’ll continue.
Review: UNHNGD #1
By Justin McCarty
UNHNGD from Elijah Thomas, Jacob Newell, Josh Southall, and published by Advent comics is a solid start to a sort of reverse dystopian story. We follow Willow, a very busy girl in her neighborhood of Detroit. She is a bookstore clerk, a well-known friend to the underdogs in the area, and a volunteer at the New Beginnings Foundation. The story hints at social commentary concerning many of the headlines coming from Detroit and Michigan in the last few years.
Review: Half Past Danger 2: Dead to Reichs #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The first Half Past Danger was a decent series. It wasn’t particularly fresh of an idea, but at the time there wasn’t anything else hitting the shelves, so it was a welcomed change. That and creator Stephen Mooney’s artwork is pleasing to the eyeballs.
Review: The Shattered
By Justin McCarty
MD Penman’s second story in his Eimurian Tales is a story of a young boy, Malwynn. He lives in the shadow of his abusive father, a storied soldier. In an effort to escape his wrath he stumbles upon a fissure that could bring back war to the area. Out of that fissure, Malwynn befriends an elf - shadir in the setting of the story. It is very much a hero’s journey. He must overcome his guilt, his father has made him believe it was his fault his mother died. He must stand up to his father.
Review: Samurai Jack: Quantum Jack #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I never got into Samurai Jack. It wasn’t a lack of interesting, but just a bad time slot for my schedule at the time. Now, I don’t have cable, and while I think it’s interesting that it’s come back with a new series, I’m just not particularly excited. But I figured hey, Fabian Rangel, Jr. is writing the comic and I enjoy the hell out of his stories so let’s give it a shot.
Review: Superb #3
By Justin McCarty
Superb is very familiar. There are teenage mutants. Laws are put in place to control said mutants. And prejudice towards them from the public forces them into hiding. Also, the obligatory government agency, whose responsibility it is to track down errant mutants and inter them. The twists here are that it was meteors that have fallen that possibly caused the mutations, and the main hero has Down Syndrome. A lot of stories have been popping up that include non-traditional supertypes, they have Aspergers, (not the Sherlock kind; the normal kind) or they have autism; in this case, Down Syndrome. Some do better than others in conveying the message that being different doesn’t mean you’re less capable. Superb is definitely about perceptions: people can be more than they appear.
Review: Wonder Woman/Conan #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Conan has a childhood crush on Wonder Woman… that’s sadly all you need to know about this first issue of what is a decently large crossover. A crossover that I don’t particularly understand other than when you take a deeper look at Dark Horse’s dwindling amount of releases you can’t help but wonder if their crossovers are keeping them from sinking out of premiere status.
Review: Kid Sherlock #4
By Justin McCarty
If you love Sherlock Holmes and his doctor/writer co-detective John Watson, here’s a book to get your kids introduced to these classic characters. It’s an all-ages book but it skews more very young reader than the older reader. We’ve made it four mysterious in and this one deals with the tripper. Sherlock and his dog Watson have to solve a new mystery and may just learn a little something along the way.
