Review: Black Clover vol. 9
By Dustin Cabeal
It's funny how so many of the manga, and really the anime adaptations of the manga, that I’ve been recommending for a few years are finally catching on. Black Clover’s anime adaptation is extremely popular for some goddamn reason. I wrote about why it’s one of the most terrible things to ever be done to a property (read here) and then I gave it the top spot on my Worst Anime of 2017 list (read here). Still, people are coming around on it, be it an inferior version of this fantastic manga.

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.
