Review: Alien Toilet Monsters #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I should have written this review weeks ago when I talked about it on the podcast. Unfortunately, life had other plans for me, and I’m just now barely catching up on reviews and reading. Just in time for the end of the year.
Review: Gung Ho
By Dustin Cabeal
This comic would be better served by a different cover. The interior art is far more pleasing than the somewhat realistic figure that you’ll instead be looking at for most of this review. As I said in this week’s podcast, I don’t like anthropomorphic ape stories. It’s a subgenre that I try to avoid because the vast majority of it is the same theme in a different setting. It’s just not particularly interesting to me and never will be.
Review: Drifters - Season 1
By Erika Suarez
When you take a look at the first episodes introduction you’ll most likely familiarize its sinister art style and merciless battles from Hellsing Ultimate as both animes are in fact created by Kouta Hirano. If you enjoyed watching Hellsing Ultimate as much as I did you will certainly love the mixture between war and fantasy once again and this time we are given Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, dragons and a whole lot of blood.
Review: Mystik U #1
By Jonathan Edwards
This book reminds me a lot of two other recent DC miniseries: Supergirl: Being Super and Deadman: Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love. At least in terms of tone and writing style. As far as premise goes, it’s much closer to the former. Because, at its core, Mystik U is just a retcon of Zatanna Zatara’s origin. But, it’s one that attempts to justify it by introducing the “Malevolence,” a super-powered threat that has ravaged the magical world. So much so that the only way to stop it is to turn back the clock and beat it before it becomes too big. However, it’s not clear how they’re meant to do so, when it appears that no one has any more of an idea about said Malevolence then, presumably, the first time this all happened. And, if that didn’t already sound like pretense, the rest of the issue makes sure you know it is.
Review: Justice League of America Annual #1
By Jonathan Edwards
As of the writing of this review, I have read and reviewed every single issue of DC’s post-Rebirth Justice League of America. This includes the five one-shots released the first issue of the main series, which I liked. Justice League of America #1 and #2 were disappointing after that, but it wasn’t until about the third issue that I started being entirely outspoken about why the book and why it continues to suck. And in my review for JLA #12, I explained that having such consistently heavy criticism for it is why I don’t drop it.
Group Review: Batman: Creature of the Night #1
By the Comic Bastards
Welcome to the review. If you’re unfamiliar with Comic Bastards’ group review format, then allow me to get you up to speed. Each of the participating writers will give their thoughts, along with their own personal score for the issue. Each score stands on its own so don’t expect an average. Now, here’s a blurb about Batman: Creature of the Night #1.
Young Bruce Wainwright lost his parents in a violent crime…and in the real world; no superheroes exist to save the day. But as grief and rage builds inside Bruce until he feels he can’t keep it inside anymore, something strange starts taking wing in the Gotham night! Perhaps Bruce’s grief isn’t inside him after all?
Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #33
By Cat Wyatt
Issue number 33 is starting us off on a new plot; Twilight of the Guardians (Part 1: Smash and Grab) and immediately starts off with showing us a new character. A man that looks suspiciously like a Guardian is running, perhaps trapped in some sort of prison? He’s trying to escape, and one of the last things we see about him is him telling a man named Kellic that he knows what he seeks. The blue man we saw? His name is (or was, I think, based on what happens) Yekop, and he was a Templar Guardian. I’m not entirely sure what that entails, but I’m sure that will all be explained in due time.
Review: Detropia #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Reviews like this one are the hardest. No one wants to write a bad review for something, and when you’re a site that’s willing to cover indie comics, it’s even harder. You want to see the little guys succeed, but if there’s one thing you can count on from the site, it’s that nothing gets a free pass.
Review: Doppelganger #1
By Justin McCarty
I love doppelgangers; they are one of the coolest tropes out there. The evil twin, the traveler from another dimension, and the time traveler; all versions. It’s a little hobby of mine to look for people’s doppelganger. Using the evil twin motif and setting us up to be unsure of what is real is what makes this short series interesting. Alterna continues to turn out original, imaginative comics. Whether you think newsprint is a gimmick or not, (I like it) they keep making engaging comics.
Review: Hack/Slash Resurrection #2
By Dustin Cabeal
Well, it’s unlikely that I’ll continue reviewing this series. It’s already settled into its rhythm, and while that’s great for people that are enjoying it, I’m still finding it to be average. Sometimes painfully average.

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.
