Review: Graveland #1

By Patrick Wolf

So, you watched Attack on Titan and loved the storyline, but felt the dialogue was a little too annoying? Maybe you wished for an American giant-monster-story that takes place in contemporary society, but also is grounded in realism? Well, look no further because Graveland has everything you loved about Attack on Titan and more: it’s violent, it’s gory, it’s action-packed, and it’s way too bloodthirsty for your own good. So, if you’re into realistic portraits of doom and giants slaughtering helpless soldiers, this is definitely your poison.

Review: Rat Queens Special: Orc Dave #1

By Patrick Wolf

While not perfect, Rat Queens Special: Orc Dave #1 is a fun read and a must-have for any fan of the Rat Queens universe. Dave the Orc is a warm character and will certainly have you rooting for him by page one. I’d recommend this one-shot to anyone looking for great art, high-fantasy, and loveable characters.

Review: Anti-Gone

By Dustin Cabeal

Anti-Gone is a strange ass book. I both recommend it but acknowledge that there are some problems with it. The first is that it intentionally never tells you the landscape of the world, but never quite lays out the entire world for you via the art or dialogue either. Usually, I’m not bothered by this, but the story obsess about other smaller details which makes it strange that it never gives you the big one.

Review: War Mother #2

By Dustin Cabeal

Things are making more sense in this issue, but I’ll say this as someone that didn’t read the past few Valiant events or the one-shot that preceded this series, I’m still lost when extra details are brought up. It’s not so bad when the story focuses on the task ahead of it, but when it attempts to add to the future Valiant world. That’s when my head turns to the side a little.

Review: Bastard’s Waltz

By Dustin Cabeal

I never did find the time to keep up with this series. After reading the great first issue, I definitely wanted more, and so I happily read the trade collecting the series. What a tremendous story it ended up being. Usually, I don’t like superhero homage stories in the least bit. There were traces of it all throughout the trade, but never once did I sigh from the reference. Now, I didn’t cheer either, but then that wasn’t what the creators were striving for you to do.

Review: Lighter Than My Shadow

By Dustin Cabeal

Occasionally I stumble upon books that are so powerful and moving that they stay with me long after I’ve completed reading them. Lighter Than My Shadow is one such book as I found myself thinking about it for days and days on end before writing this review. The last book that did something like that was Seeds. Whereas Seeds was a great book for anyone that was going through cancer or had a family member, Lighter Than My Shadow is something completely different.

Review: Mister Strange’s Monster Mansion #1-2

By Oliver Gerlach

Monster Mansion by Dan Wolff is a lot of fun. A classic Hammer horror movie in comic form, it wears its B-movie influences proudly on its sleeve and has a great time with them. I can’t quite tell if it’s meant to be a horror story by modern standards, but it fits that classic horror movie vibe perfectly.

Review: Velocidad #1-2

By Oliver Gerlach

Casey Quevedo’s Velocidad is a fun sci-fi adventure about a crew of space pirates raiding supply ships traveling to distant space colonies. It’s a straightforward concept that doesn’t require very much explanation or detailed worldbuilding, so it’s nice and easy to jump into. Honestly, the brief paragraph introducing the concept at the start of the first issue is entirely unnecessary.
