Review: Stern vol. 1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m not a huge fan of era stories that in a way add modern genres to the twist. For instance a western that adds forensic science to the story. There’s a little of that in the first volume of Stern, but thankfully it ends up making a lot of sense to the story.
Review: Battlecats #5
By Dustin Cabeal
What has made Battlecats standout and be a rich story to read is the backstory. At first, it might have seemed daunting to read, but it was a smart way to introduce the different elements of the story that are now all coming into play.
Review: Cobber #4
By Dustin Cabeal
My qualms with the first three issues of Cobber still stand in this fourth issue of the five-issue series. It’s a story that’s been told before which isn’t the issue. Every story can be boiled down to being the same story or type of story told over and over. What sets stories aside is their characters, presentation, and entertainment level, to name a few things.
Review: Everywhere Disappeared
By Dustin Cabeal
As much as you enjoy a publishers body of work, there are always going to be a few that you simply dislike. You can likely tell where this review is going, which is more than I had going into Everywhere Disappeared.
Review: The Gulf
By Dustin Cabeal
Comic books are a wonderful thing. They give people the opportunity to push the boundaries of art and storytelling. They insight conversations because unlike any other form of entertainment you can have every degree of love and dislike for a comic. You can agree and disagree on movies, TV, video games, a song even, but you can read a comic, love it or hate it and hand it to a friend expecting the same results and be completely taken back by their response.

Review: Southern Bastards #18
By Zeb Larson
The basic plot of this particular issue isn’t a particularly difficult one to anticipate. Under what set of circumstances could Materhead find himself in the hands of Roberta Tubb and expect anything other than a miserable outcome? Running through those specifics isn’t really worth your time as a reader. And yet, for a book where a reasonably alert reader could predict every main beat that comes your way, this is one of the book’s strongest issues. It succeeds at the emotional and thematic level by tying together the theme of home and family that have been present throughout the book.
Review: Destroyer #5
By Ashley Gibbs
While the previous issue was packed full of backstory that was woven into the current crisis, Destroyer #5 suffers slightly due to its pacing. Everyone is drawing closer to the same location but this moment has to be prolonged artificially. That being said, it’s still a solid read offering more insight to the characters and more history. The themes presented are dark, serious, and often bleak which can be a bit depressing, especially in an issue with less action to break up the doom and gloom. But despite the science fiction aspects, the issues tackled are real and relevant and they’re things that need to be said even if on the pages of a comic book.
Review: Destroyer #4
By Ashley Gibbs
Destroyer #4 does exactly what it needs to do, and it does it well; giving readers a fair amount of backstory while also revving up the anticipation for the next issue and the upcoming finale. This issue provides a lot of lovely backstory for Dr. Baker and the organization that used to employ her while also adding in a fair amount of action as the Monster and Akai face off. Dr. Baker hasn’t been the most classic of leads, it’s very clear the people against her have no good intentions whatsoever. But this series has done a good job of showcasing that things aren’t always black and white so there could always be more twists and turns. For now, we’re given an excellent issue -my favorite, so far.

Review: Daughter of Titan #1
By Ashley Gibbs
Going into Daughter of Titan #1 I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, and after having read it, I’m still left confused. The cover art and title are dynamic, depicting a girl and a powerful robot, but the premiere offers so many plots that we don’t actually get any of what the cover promises. While this is only the first issue so all of the secrets can’t be revealed at once, it sets up so many pieces of world-building that it lacks cohesiveness and there is little to no action. If the cover excited you, then prepare to be disappointed, there are no mech battles this issue. However, we are presented with interesting characters in a world in desperate need of change, a common trope and one of many used here. Fair warning, there is some colorful language used that might not be appropriate for younger readers, which is a shame because this could be a good story for young girls.
