Otherwise, we've got some new shows and movies to talk about this time. We'll be back next time with an entire Ballroom Beat show to wrap up Welcome to the Ballroom.
BOOM! Studios debuts a heartfelt comedy about teamwork, friendship, and dodgeball in March 2018
Press Release
BOOM! Studios is psyched to announce DODGE CITY, a new sports comic/teen comedy series debuting March 2018 about the high-energy chaos, heightened drama, and exaggerated costumes of competitive dodgeball, and one team’s quest to make it all the way to the regional championships. Writer Josh Trujillo (Adventure Time) and illustrator Cara McGee (Over the Garden Wall) suit up to tell the story of the Jazz Pandas co-ed dodgeball team—the worst team in their league and made up of outcasts—and the efforts of their new captain, Tomás, who, despite being the youngest and least experienced member of the team, is really, really good at dodgeball.

Review: Samurai Slasher – Late Fees
By Dustin Cabeal
The concept of Samurai Slasher is an enjoyable one to movie and comic fans. The idea is that the character of the Samurai Slasher can be dropped into any story. He’s Freddy and Jason, without the baggage. A new slasher, from a bygone era, that you can tell original stories without repercussions. It’s what made the first comic in the series so enjoyable.
Review: Striker & Slayer #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Anytime I pick up a comic, and the first page is a wall of text, I kind of just sigh to myself. The wall of text as I call it is a big cheat because it’s conveying information that the creator can’t or doesn’t want to work into the story. It’s common in sci-fi because creators think it’ll speed things up by explaining the world instead of showing it.
Review: Her Impact! #0
By Dustin Cabeal
Her Impact! Suffers from what I call the “Manga Effect.” As you can probably already guess from that labeling, its manga inspired. In the case of Her Impact, it attempts many of the tropes while offering a story that you’d likely never read in a manga.
Review: Chronospire #1
By Dustin Cabeal
My first question with any fantasy story is, “is the fantasy element needed to tell the story?” You’d be surprised how often the answer to this question is a resounding, “No.” That is the case with Chronospire, which is a world full of elves and ogres, but a story that requires neither element to function.
Review: Pussycats – Foxglove #1
By Oliver Gerlach
Pussycats – Foxglove #1 is the first issue of a planned 2 issue miniseries. It is, as far as I can tell, a part of e-comix’s Pussycats series, which appear to be cheap titillation with what might be the most unappealing covers around. Using a photo of a “sexy model” for your covers feels like a spectacularly regressive approach to comics marketing. So, is the interior of Foxglove #1 any better than you might expect from this?

As comic readers, I think there are always characters that people want to write or draw more than other characters. There is something about them that inspires the imagination—be it a story element or background piece that entices the mind to daydream about the endless possibilities with that particular character. Deathstroke is one of those characters for me. This particular volume of his titular series really digs into his long and rich backstory: Deathstroke’s creation of the League of Assassins, his wife, his children, his extensive training, and his abilities. It puts all the complicated pieces together in a cohesive, understandable package for new readers while also exciting longtime readers. It’s a series that reminds everyone what makes a comic great and why nothing else can replace it.
