Review: Eugenic #1

By Justin McCarty

Tynion and Donovan are together again on Eugenic. This will conclude his apocalyptic trilogy that started with Memetic. Eugenic imagines a future where prejudice is bred out, and a new kind of human race comes to exist. It’s a high-concept sci-fi horror. Tynion has come up with a very eerie version of the future that almost feels like it could happen. There’s also going to be crazy science and monsters. Eugenic will explore why do people need to feel that they are normal, that their children are normal. Eugenic, like the other stories in the apocalyptic trilogy, will be a three issue mini-series with each issue being about 40 pages long.

Review: Slots #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

I've spent a decent amount of time in Las Vegas. My sister used to live there, and I would visit often. But it was never the gambling that I was interested in there. It was the drinking and the drugs. Vegas is the kind of city you go to with the intention of making bad decisions. Maybe it's different if you're local. But if you're from out-of-town Vegas can be blinding. It's the lights and the energy and the fact everything – and I mean everything – is right there within reach. I've always liked books and movies and whatever set in Vegas. Because the city has its own attitude and it's built into all of the characters, too. Dan Panosian's Slots is a book about the Las Vegas that maybe not a lot of people see. It's the kind of story that takes place off the Strip. It's a gritty story, and I'm hoping that we're all going to get a little dirty before it's over.

Review: The Archies #1

By Justin McCarty

America’s favorite teen garage-band is back in a new ongoing series. The Archies are a hit at their first gig; only Archie has no idea where the band will go from here. The first issue kicks off the story of the band and their aspirations for making it big. If you are an Archie fan, you might not find many complaints with this series. There’s also not much going on here to really get you hooked if you are not. Its plot lacks depth and focuses solely on Archie and his problem. Great artwork makes up for the plot though.

Review: Batman - The Dawnbreaker #1

By Justin McCarty

Batman The Dawnbreaker has landed today, the next issue for the Dark Knight tie-ins as we continue the multi-issue Metal event. Next up for The Dark Knights is The Drowned. Then the next Dark Nights Metal is out this month. Barbatos’ Dark Knights are coming together, and we aren’t yet sure what is in store for the Justice League and Earth-0. We’ll find out in the Metal Lost Knight crossovers. Of all the tie-ins so far, this might be my favorite.

Review: Beautiful Canvas #4

And just like that Beautiful Canvas is finished with a spectacular fourth and final installment. Ryan K. Lindsay has crafted a thrilling and personal story placed in the center of a chaotic universe, and leaves us with just as many questions as when we started. As the series has continued, in all my reviews I asked for some answers to the numerous questions Lindsay brought up in each issue; and now that the series is over, I feel relieved he chose not to answer most of them.
