Review: Recovery of an MMO Junkie
By Dustin Cabeal
Recovery of an MMO Junkie is unusual in that it’s a budding love story between two adults. Now, that might sound like old hat if you’re not an anime viewer, but you’d have to dig and dig to find another anime like Recovery. Sure, there are plenty of romance stories in anime and manga form, but they tend to have a specific look and pacing to them. Recovery looks a lot like a typical slice of life show, mostly because it's also a slice of life story… about playing MMOs.

Review: Batman and the Signal #1
By Cat Wyatt
Batman and the Signal is a new series in the Batman universe, using characters and plots started in All-Star Batman and We Are Robin. Duke Thomas (AKA Signal) has decided to do something different from all of the other Bat heroes – he’s going to take on the crime that’s happening during the day. He’ll be the only one to do it. Adding to his differences is the fact that he’s a metahuman, and one that hasn’t really figured out his powers yet. It should make for an interesting ride, to say the least.
Review: Kino's Journey- The Beautiful World
By Erika Suarez
Kino’s Journey is a show you might miss through the list of anime on Crunchy roll and I’m glad I gave it a chance when I was hesitant in scrolling past it. This anime is about a traveler and her motorbike companion, Hermes. Through their vast adventure they visit various countries that hold memorable stories and sudden tragedies that reels you into the show.
Review: Green Lanterns #38
By Cat Wyatt
If you thought the twist revealed in the last issue was something, then get ready to hop onboard for another ride. In issue 37 it was revealed the Liseth was part of the Red Tide (apparently we were supposed to understand that this was past tense for her, but I interpreted as a current status at the time). One can understand why Simon would find that so upsetting, to say the least. Here we get to see the reactions of everyone else, including Liseth’s mother.
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.
