Review: Hack/Slash – Vampirella #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Crossover comics are not my thing. Rarely, if ever do, they prevent something relevant for either franchise and typically just ends up being two heroes fighting each other. Trying to figure out who the bad guy is, ultimately teaming up and easily defeating the villain, while everyone gets their shit in. It’s the equivalent of an after Pay-per-view Wrestling event in which new storylines are being developed, and jackasses are just running into the ring. Oh, they’re gonna fight each other next… why am I watching this then?
Review: Warframe #1
By Ben Snyder
Matt Hawkins and Ryan Cady give a semi-interesting premise of an ancient Tenno gone off the grid who awakens to protect a small town from the botched human clone species called the Grineer. If you are not a fan of the seemingly convoluted and lore-rich game Warframe, then, Warframe #1 is definitely not for you as the first issue will leave you in a state of utter confusion. However, fans of the universe might get an enjoyable if not inventive or creative story set in the apocalyptic sci-fi universe.
Review: The Shadow/Batman #1
By Justin McCarty
Here is the newest Shadow Batman team up. It promises to give us the best of Batman and The Shadow as they have to deal with a decades-old conspiracy. There has been a steady run of Batman Shadow books lately, and that's for a good reason, they feed into each other. The Shadow inspired Batman, and it’s clear as Batman became popular, the mythos fed back into The Shadow stories. As long as we keep making great Batman Shadow comics, the loop will continue.
Review: Batman: White Knight #1
Group Review
Welcome to the Comic Bastards group review for Batman: White Knight #1. For those unfamiliar with the site’s group review format, each of the participating writers will give their thoughts and an individual score for the issue. We don’t do averages; each person’s thoughts and score are their own. Now get your butt ready for DC and Sean Phillips’ Batman: White Knight #1.
Review: Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica #1
By Dustin Cabeal
The most surprising thing about Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica is that it’s a six-issue series. I will admit that I was excited about this crossover at first, mostly because Paul Dini was writing it. If anyone were going to write this and make it good, you’d think it would be Dini. Unfortunately, it’s an incredibly boring issue and I can’t imagine reading five more of them.
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.
