Review: The Gravediggers Union #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
Ghost and zombies and vampires – and all kinds of shit like that – have been done so many times in comics (and all other forms of media) that it kind of gets to a point where it’s like what’s the point of even trying? You got to think that everything you’re trying to do, someone else has already done, and probably better, too. You’ve got to know that anything you do make is going to be compared to the countless things that have come before it. You’ve got to know that any idea you’ve got, someone’s already had that same idea. This is the mentality I usually have before I go into a new horror book (or movie or blah blah blah).
Review: Port Of Earth #1
By Justin McCarty
New from Image imprint Top Cow is Port of Earth, a comic with a really interesting twist on an old premise: Aliens finally make the first contact with Earth, but instead of coming with intent to improve how humans treat each other, or with intent to exterminate the human race, they come with a business deal. The aliens in Port of Earth want to onboard Earth to a galaxy-wide network of planets working together for trade. Earth would be a stopping point for ships on their way to other planets. This, of course, complicates things for humans, but the trade seems fair; Earth gets advanced technologies to improve human lives.

018 - The Halloween candy hangover is real people! I would say sorry for being late, but I haven't established a consistent time for this podcast yet. There are a few books covered on the show, and I probably ramble about two of them since the provoked the most thought. Which ones do you ask? Well, read the list and give me your best guess... or listen and cheat. Whatever.

Review: The Shadow/Batman #2
By Ben Snyder
Picking up exactly where the last issue left off The Shadow/Batman #2 is another enthralling entry into the second crossover of two of the most iconic and historic characters in all of comics. While certainly not perfect in all regards, Steve Orlando and Giovanni Timpano do more than enough to justify the existence of this comic.
Review: 1985: Black Hole Repo #1
By Ben Snyder
Gory and gruesome, 1985 Black Hole Repo #1 delivers on its publisher, Heavy Metal, Inc.’s namesake. However, behind the artwork, which seems ripped straight from a Metal album’s cover, it misses the mark on the social and political statements it attempts to make. Often, the criticisms are unceremoniously blunt, lacking any subtlety at all. But I guess in this regard the story encapsulates the essence of its heavy metal inspiration as well.
Review: Deadman #1
By Justin McCarty
So, this is Deadman. The latest attempt to resurrect Deadman might be DOA. I hadn’t read any Deadman comics before this. And, as far as I can tell, Deadman has never had a true ongoing series, not since the very first series debuted in the late sixties. He pops in and out of the DCU in much the same way he possesses the bodies of unwitting accomplices to his mission. He either appears in other character’s stories or in his own limited series. With a first issue, you might want to go easy on the newcomers to the lore. Adams has shown us no mercy.
Review: Stain the Seas Scarlet
By Oliver Gerlach
Ryan K Lindsay and Alex Cormack’s Stain the Seas Scarlet, coming soon to Kickstarter, is an efficient 22 page oneshot tale of space resistance and revenge. It’s nice to see something so self-contained and confident in its brevity, and for the most part everything attempted here is handled deftly.

Review: The Ghost Butterfly
By Oliver Gerlach
The Ghost Butterfly is the latest project from Rick Quinn, the writer of the beautiful and highly enjoyable Saltwater. This is a completely different project, but one with a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses as Saltwater; Quinn seems to have a very well-defined style, and whether or not it works is up to the reader.

By Justin McCarty
I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
