Review: Park Bench

By Dustin Cabeal

Park Bench is one of the most brilliant silent comics I’ve read. For those that are unfamiliar with the term “silent comics,” it’s the term the industry came up for a comic with no dialogue or narration. The artwork tells the story without any support, and you might think that it’s easy to do. It is not; it is one of the things a lot of creators fail at because it’s all about the panels and the pacing.

Review: Unfamiliar Skies #1 & 2

By Patrick Wolf

Some of the best stories ever told were marketed towards children and adults. Examples that come to mind are Disney’s Lion King, Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, and DreamWorks’ Shriek. In many ways, Sam Webster’s Unfamiliar Skies attempts to take a similar route. Unfamiliar Skies wants to be a story that's both for children and adults, and it makes a fairly admirable attempt. Unfortunately, while this tale is suitable for children, it wanes in the grown-up department.

Review: Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul E.023

By Shanel Kamara

I cannot believe what I've just seen; I'm gobsmacked. How is it possible that so many shocking events can happen in an episode merely lasting twenty-three minutes? I literally found myself, on more than one occasion, staring at the screen with my mouth gaped. I love a series with a good amount of twists (as I've mentioned several times in previous reviews), but I've never been left quite as stunned as I am right now, and I absolutely love it. Wow! What a way to set the scene for the final episode.

Review: Daughter

Single Issue Winner – Ghost City Comics Competition

By Dustin Cabeal

Daughter is so good that I wish I had already known about it. Sam Beck’s story is brilliantly narrated as it takes you into a world of swords and magic. Just the presentation of the first page was enough to hook me. The striking image of a woman sitting on a throne alone, a scar over her eye and the statement, “I am the eleventh daughter.” From that point on, I was hooked. The rest of the issue could have sold me ketchup in a sandwich baggy, and I would have bought it. Thankfully, I didn’t do that instead crafted a wonderfully circular story to enjoy.

Review: Time is of the Essence

Short Story Winner – Ghost City Comics Competition

By Dustin Cabeal

Time travel stories can all be boiled down to certain elements depending on the rules at play. The most common rule set that is widely known comes from Back to the Future. The rules govern the story and often make for predictable twists. That said, you’re not so much reading to see the time travel elements, but the journey of the characters.
