Review: Evolution #3

By Cat Wyatt

If the cover is any indication, it looks like Evolution #3 is going to be a bit more graphic than the previous two, or at least more confrontational (I don’t think you can top the implied vivisection that occurred). The cast remains the same, with no newly introduced characters, which is good. I feel like the plot is complicated enough without adding more people to the mix.

Review: Batwoman #11

By Cat Wyatt

After the conclusion of the previous plot, Batwoman number 11 starts up another one, this one focusing on Professor Pyg and his minions (yes, you read that right, and no this isn’t his first appearance in the DC universe). I feel like Professor Pyg is going to regret having picked a fight with Batwoman, don’t you?

Review: Go West #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Listen, for $1.50 no matter what I say; you should just check out this issue. No that said, this isn’t the best first issue. There’s a lot of effort put into this issue, and there are some decent action sequences to enjoy. It's just unfortunate that so much of the issue is spent narrating something that the artwork is able to convey in only a few pages.

Review: Batman #39

By Cat Wyatt

Issue number 39 of Batman kicks off a new plot arc, and Wonder Woman fans will be pleased to see she is included (as is made obvious by the cover of this issue). I’ll confess that I didn’t think much of the title when I first saw it, the Secret of the Eternal Vow, but having fully read the issue I realize it carries a lot more weight than I would have originally assumed. I’m anxious to see the next issue, as not only do I want to see the conclusion, but I want to see the repercussions to said vow.

Review: Days of Hate #1

By Ben Snyder

After the election in 2016, it wasn’t much of a surprise that storytellers and artists would craft tales that reflect their fears and anxieties regarding its outcome. Many of these stories would indirectly comment on the political climate, substituting President Trump for a cartoonified, easily digestible version. Some even tackled the sex and gender politics through allegory that would inevitably be affected by the new president-elect. It is a surprise, however, that it has taken this long for one story to come that is so direct, haunting, and tangible. For this reason, Days of Hate #1 is certainly not for everyone- especially if you voted for Trump. And while not perfect, Days of Hate deserves to be applauded for the courage from both its contributors and Image Comics.

Review: Green Lanterns #39

By Cat Wyatt

Fans will likely remember the dramatic turn that occurred in issue 38; where Liseth Vok killed Kesh Cur, attacked the Green Lanterns (and her mother) and turned an alien DNA machine on herself. Yikes, when you put it like that it seems like the shit hit the fan in the last issue, which isn’t inaccurate. This issue starts with the battle being over already, but as many generals would say, the war hasn’t been won (or lost) yet.

Review: Assassinistas #2

By Kelly Gaines

Assassinistas #2 turns bringing your child to work on its head in a well-paced and hilarious way. For anyone who missed issue one, #2 starts out with a brief recap, laying the groundwork for the bizarre spy adventure ahead. The premise is simply stated, but nonetheless unique. A college guy and his boyfriend (Dominic and Taylor)  tag along with his ex-bounty hunter mother (Octavia) to solve the kidnapping of a little boy. The catch? The little boy is the son of one of her former teammates- one currently too pregnant to take the case herself. The other catch? The case may bring the former “Assassinistas” a little closer to home than they expected.

Review: Belle #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Belle isn’t unlike most monster of the week TV shows. That’s by no mean a slam because I enjoy shows like that, even if it’s only for a few seasons. There was something in particular that Belle reminds me of, but for the life of me, I couldn’t place it. Perhaps a reader of this comic and review will think of it and leave a comment.

Review: Dark Fang #3

By Cat Wyatt

Dark Fang #3 starts off a bit different than the first two did (can I say that when the series is still so new?). We see the earth, dead or dying, with Valla desperately trying to conserve all her resources (i.e., blood) before it’s too late. It isn’t enough though, not for an immortal being. Eventually, her lifespan outruns that of her food source, and when that inevitably happens, she’s doomed to a slow death (or if she prefers to take action, a quick one). And that’s when she wakes up.

Review: Damage #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There is one unfortunate comparison that every comic reviewer is going to make when reviewing Damage. It would almost be criminal not to mention it, and that’s why I doubt you’ll read a single review that doesn’t mention the fact that Damage is a lot like Marvel’s Red Hulk from USAvengers. He has a time limit for his powers, he transformers and there’s a cooldown period. Now granted, that is just his power set, and the actual story is very different… mostly because it’s not complete and total ass (side note: should have put USAvengers on my worst of list).
