Review: The Family Trade #2

By Ben Snyder

Another issue of The Family Trade goes by and I feel another crushing wave of disappointment. I genuinely feel like this comic has the potential to truly be something despite issue #2’s lack of support for this claim.

Travesty and The Anime Adaptation of Black Clover

By Dustin Cabeal

At first, it was just the terrible voice selection and direction of the voice actors that made me dislike what I was watching. In all the pages of Black Clover that I’ve read in my head, never once did I imagine the main character constantly yelling like some idiot man-child that had watched a lot of DBZ growing up and suddenly thought yelling like Goku was “cool” to do. Maybe that’s what studio Pierrot wanted though, an instant comparison to one of the longest-running and popular franchises of all time. What could possibly go wrong copying something to such a degree?

Review: The Space Heists of Vyvy & Qwerty #1

By Patrick Wolf

A splice between Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy, The Space Heists of Vyvy & Qwerty is an action-packed, sci-fi, comedy that’ll have you laughing on one page and holding your breath on the next. I enjoyed this series a lot more than Star Wars and found it just as hilarious as Guardians. I would recommend Vyvy & Qwerty to almost anyone and I’m confident the kickstarter for issue #2 will be just as successful as the first.

Review: Red Echo #1

By Oliver Gerlach

Red Echo #1, written and drawn by E.S. Brophy, is a sci-fi action book with some pretty great cybernetic panthers and a lot of guns. It’s almost entirely action, with very little breathing space for the characters.

Brophy’s cover is genuinely lovely. It’s a striking red, white and black image reminiscent of David Aja’s cover work, which can never be a bad thing. Genuinely very eye-catching, it immediately makes the book look intriguing and different.

Review: Whisper Wilds #1

By Oliver Gerlach

Whisper Wilds #1, currently funding (very successfully) on Kickstarter, is the brainchild of Brent Nelson and Emanuele Arnaldi. It’s the story of a woman and her dinosaur-like partner attempting to prevent monsters from escaping an extra-dimensional wasteland and slipping into 1940s Australia. If that sounds like a weird premise, don’t worry! It’s very well-handled, and the end result is far more delightful than the simple plot and concept summary might indicate.

Review: Tsuredure Children – Season 1

By Dustin Cabeal

At first glance, Tsuredure Children seems like a redundant rom-com with the same lovey-dovey theme running through every tale. Tsuredure Children is quite brilliant in that it takes what anime does extremely well, shallow relationships and makes them hilarious and quite deep.

That’s right, Tsuredure Children is a total swerve.
