Review: The Shadow v3 #4
By Justin McCarty
Shadow number four is out this week, and up until the last issue we were mostly confined to a hospital room, Mr. Crispy gave his backstory, Mary did make it out to the world to do some sleuthing. At the end of issue three, The Shadow escapes as a SWAT team storms his hospital room. Mary, of course, goes after him and finds him on the rooftops, wearing the slouch hat, cloak, and twin .45s. It was an exciting conclusion, leaving me dying to know what would happen!
Review: Wonder Woman #35
By Cat Wyatt
Fans of Jason should rejoice, while those of you that aren’t fans of the Wonder Woman’s brother plotline will probably be less than thrilled about this issue; the entirety of it is spent on Jason and his past. It goes without saying that Jason lived a very different childhood from Diana of Troy. Unlike Diana, Jason could not be hidden among the Amazonians (a boy would stand out quite a bit) and thus had to be whisked away to earth. But we know all that already, courtesy of the last issue. This issue aims to show us more of the details of his life (and presumably to help explain the choices we’ve seen him make).
Review: Hollow Fields vol. 1
By Jonathan Edwards
As it turns out, Hollow Fields Vol. 1 was originally published in June of 2007 and black & white. Cut to roughly and a half years later, and Seven Seas Entertainment has opted to re-release this full-color version. I can’t say I’ve heard of that being a particularly common practice, at least in terms of the traditional manga publishing industry. However, Hollow Fields is not a part of the traditional industry. It’s an “original English-language” manga. And in this case, that means the writer and artist is Australian. I know some people have a huge issue with manga produced outside of Japan by people who aren’t Japanese, but I’m not really one of them. Sure, you’re inherently going to get some stylistic changes thanks to cultural differences, but if the general themes and tropes are congruent, then why should overseas works be excluded? Especially when there are people who dismiss any and all Japanese animation solely on the premise that they “don’t like anime.” This is despite the fact you might be trying to get them to watch Spirited Away, and all they’re familiar with is the likes of Bleach.
Review: Suicide Squad #30
by Cat Wyatt
Issue #30 picks up right where the last one left off; with half of the Suicide Squad team stuck on the moon base fighting Red Wave, and the other half off in Nevada (specific location unknown) recovering from their own fight. Needless to say, things aren’t looking so hot for our beloved heroes and anti-heroes.
Review: The Mighty Crusaders #1
By Patrick Wolf
When I first flipped through the opening pages of The Mighty Crusaders, my initial thought was: “Boy, am I gonna tear this issue a new one.” But, the more I flipped through the pages, the more it grew on me. While The Mighty Crusaders still has a lot of kinks that need to be straightened out, the writing is strong enough to almost make up for the story’s aesthetic failures. If you’re an Archie Comics fan and are looking to dabble in the world of superheroes, this series is a great gateway comic. For comic aficionados, however, I’d approach with caution.

Review: Your Name.
By Erika Suarez
Director Makoto Shinkai (Garden of Words, 5 Centimeters per Second) presents you with beautiful scenery along with a love story between two strangers from separate worlds (Tokyo and Itomori) who experience hilariously unexplained body swapping and begin to search for one another once the strange phenomenon stops. This unique love story provides us with a gratifying ending, but it seems this love story ended too soon, which raises a few questions and leaves you hoping for a glimpse of the future for these two characters.

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.
