Review: Doomsday Clock #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I thought long and hard about this book after reading it. By no means am I one of these comic readers that view Watchmen as some untouchable bible of comic books. I read it. I could see a lot of the brilliance of it, which I mostly credit to the artwork. I’ve never read or cared about the prequel stories nor did I find it particularly interesting that the world of Watchmen was being injected into the DCU. If Watchmen is the DC Comics bible, then Doomsday Clock is the new testament.

Review: God Complex #2

By Jonathan Edwards

For about the first half of God Complex #2, I was finally getting into the story and enjoying myself while it happened. And then, right around the time Seneca visited the Fates, I started losing interest. It’s still a fine issue overall, and the last couple pages do present us with a decent enough cliffhanger. It just doesn't end up being as entertaining as the beginning was. And, I think I know why. Seneca’s character by itself isn’t all that interesting. Neither is his investigation into the deaths of the three Church of the Trinity acolytes. Yet, both work a lot better whenever we see the Rulers getting directly involved. Because they provide great foils for Seneca and vice versa. His moody, neo-noir detective shtick if offset by his fear of getting on their bad side and/or letting them down. And, their sense of superiority, inside information, and larger than life power struggle is offset by the legitimate need for his help, as he can perceive things in a way they can’t. As such, we get an interesting dynamic where, rather than condescend, the Rulers actually attempt to pick Seneca’s brain and enable him, and his both compelled and reluctant to go further and further down the rabbit hole that is his investigation.

Review: Imaginary Fiends #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

Growing up, I never had an imaginary friend. Not sure what that says about me but I just never did. But I do remember my sister having one. It was this fat little baby looking-thing named Chebby or something like that. I also remember trying to play with them, my sister and Chebby were always getting up to something, but she never let me. She’d always say that Chebby didn’t like me or that it (he?) was mad at me or that it hated me. My sister was older than me and was never really nice when we were kids.

Review: Harley Quinn #32

By Cat Wyatt

This issue brings us to the conclusion of the Vote Harley plot, and obviously based on how things ended in issue 31, we know we’re in for a bit of a rough ride (emotionally speaking). It probably goes without saying that Harley doesn’t react well to Mason’s death, add on the fact that DePerto committed the act and tricked her into watching it on TV? Yeah, not so much.

Review: Gravetrancers #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

In the afterword at the end of this issue, M.L. Miller says that Gravetrancers was inspired by a real-life story of a cemetery dumping bodies into a pit at the back of their lot and re-selling plots over and over again. I remember this in the news some years ago. It was at Burr Oak Cemetery, I believe, which is not that far from where I live. It was a crazy, fucked up story. Listing this as inspiration for a story should tell you just what kind of book Gravetrancers is going to be. Pretty crazy and fucked up on its own, right?
