Review: Hungry Ghosts #1

By Jonathan Edwards

I was not aware that celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain also wrote comics. I mean, he’s not done it a ton, but he’s got a couple of other books under his belt with Get Jiro! and its prequel, Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi. Granted, he was not alone in writing those. Joel Rose co-wrote them both with Bourdain, and sure enough, they are writing once again as a pair for Hungry Ghosts. Now, if you’re like me, that title will be just straightforward and potentially high concept enough to make you at least want to know what it’s about. And as it turns out, the premise is a weirdly complicated one.

Review: Batman #38

By Cat Wyatt

It’s only natural that after reading the title for issue number 38 that one would assume that this was another origin story for Batman. So imagine my surprise when I realized the focus was actually on Bruce Wayne, as opposed to Batman. I imagine people will have varying opinions on how this issue was handled, but I’ll confess I appreciated the twist towards the end, even if I didn’t necessarily enjoy the whole journey there.

Review: Transdimensional #1
Review: Transdimensional #1

By Justin McCarty

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.
