Review: Clonsters #1

By Oliver Gerlach

Clonsters #1, written by Amy and Pat Shand and illustrated by Vanessa Cardinali, is an odd creation. The title is short for Clay Monsters, and the book itself is based on the clay creatures made by Amy Shand, creator of the concept. A comic based on somebody’s Etsy store is not something I ever expected to read, but this is one that clearly has an enormous amount of affection put into it.

Review: Supernaut

By Patrick Wolf

This is, without a doubt, one of the worst titles I’ve read all year. Loaded with pretentious language, exposition, plot-holes, stock characters, and new age religious nonsense, I can’t believe anyone could enjoy this drivel. Normally, I try to be as charitable as possible whenever reviewing an indie series, but there’s no way I can endorse this one. With the exception of the art, there’s nothing good about this and the only way I’d recommend it to anyone is if that person was either a new-age hippy or just some guy I don’t like.

Review: Blood of Gods #1

By Oliver Gerlach

Blood of Gods #1, by Erick Dominguez and Jake Bilbao, is a big loud fantasy comic about a world where demigods (or, in this case, “divine breed”) walk the earth and have magical powers. It’s got swords and dragons and large muscular bearded men who yell a lot. So far, so generic fantasy.

019 - This week is an audio-only podcast, but looking at the low amount of views I might just be doing an audio podcast going forward. I'm sick as hell this week and not in a rock'n'roll kinda way. Also, I'm shaking things up by talking about Bendis signing to DC and Disney attempting to buy Fox.  I ran long and reviewed three books as well.

Comics/manga covered on this episode:

  • Prison School vol. 8
