Review: Wonder Woman #36
By Cat Wyatt
Now that we’ve finished catching up with Jason’s backstory (thank you for that, issue #35), we’re back to the main plot once again. The scene opens with Diana chained up to a stone pillar while Jason monologues (though not as verbosely as a villain can). He (or maybe it was Grail) somehow managed to find an ancient Beachhead from New Genesis. It could even be an earlier world, who’s to say?
Review: Under: Scourge of the Sewer #1
By Daniel Vlasaty
When I was a kid I was afraid to take shits because I thought a skeleton was going to reach up from the toilet, grab my ass, and pull me down into the sewer. I’ve known other people that thought snakes or rats or alligators. But I don’t know why I thought skeletons were going to get me. I was afraid of toilets. I was afraid of sewers. I was a weird kid. But listen, the sewers are a fucked up, ugly, nasty, creature-y place, I guess. Especially in Christophe Bec’s and Stefano Raffaele’s Under: Scourge of the Sewer #1.
Review: Suicide Squad #31
By Cat Wyatt
After a month of anxiously waiting to see what was going to happen to half of the Suicide Squad (the half trapped on the moon, that is), we’re finally given our answer! Considering the point they left us off at last issue, they really didn’t have much of a choice but to pick up right where they left off (well, they could have done something different, but I’d advise against stressing out your fans). To recap: Rick Flag Sr. is possessed by the Red Wave, and likely has been partially under its control for a while, Boomerang, Katana, and Croc have also fallen under his (its?) thumb. The only one on the moon with control over their own body is Harley. So not exactly a good position to be in.
Review: Klaus and the Crisis in Xmasville #1
By Jonathan Edwards
On December 5th, 2016, I finally did what I’d spent the better part of the year thinking about doing; I applied to be a comic reviewer for ComicBastards.com. On December 12th, 2016, I received an email inviting me onto the team, and on December 21st, 2016, my reviews for Dept. H #9 and Klaus and the Witch of Winter were published on the site. And now, just barely a year after I sent in my application, here I am reviewing the next Klaus book, Klaus and the Crisis in Xmasville. And, maybe there would have been more ceremony in reviewing next week’s Dept. H #21. Especially since that was the actual first book I reviewed, and issue #21 comes out closer to the anniversary of when I actually reviewed issue #9. But, Klaus only comes one a year, so I think that makes it the more appropriate choice. Also, I could just do both, but I haven’t read an issue of Dept. H despite continuing to buy them with the intention of eventually sitting down and binging them. But until then, let’s focus on Grant Morrison’s superhero Santa Claus.
Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #34
By Cat Wyatt
Are you ready for another issue of buildup? No? Well, then I’m sorry but I have some news for you (but in all seriousness it wasn’t the frustrating type of buildup, it simply is what it is). Things pick up right where we were left off in issue 33; John, Hal, Guy, and Kyle are all brainstorming for causes and solutions to their problem, while also pestering little Somar-Le (the only witness to the Guardians kidnappers) for more information.
Dragon Ball Super E. 119
This week’s Dragon Ball Super felt like I watched a 10-minute episode rather than a 25-minute episode. I was pleased to see Universe 4 reveal their three warriors that were mysteriously unnoticed throughout the tournament. Sadly, the excitement for this reveal faded away when the warriors were put into action and made the battles look effortless and incredibly quick for their opponents.

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.
