Review: Juni Taisen: Zodiac War
By Dustin Cabeal
If there’s one thing I can’t forgive in any form of storytelling, it’s a bad ending. It doesn’t matter if it’s a movie, anime, manga, comic, commercial… if you’re telling a story, you better stick the ending. That doesn’t mean it needs to be a happy ending, but it should match up with the rest of the story. If say, your story is about people fighting to the death for a wish to be granted; then the winner better have an amazing wish lined up. If you can’t see where I’m going with the review, well, then sit tight we’ll get there. Also, if you want to hear me talk about this show in full spoiler detail, you can do that on Super S – Anime Podcast E.042.

Review: Wonder Woman/Conan #5
By Kelly Gaines
Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman/ Conan title has taken us back into the original age of heroes, one full of bloody battles, mythical creatures, and ancient prophecies. Issue 5 continues the journey of The Amazon princess and her unlikely companion, Conan the Barbarian. On the surface, both are dark-haired and muscular pictures of strength, but their personal codes of honor could not be more divided. The title’s fifth installment solidifies the stark contrast of Diana and Conan. Diana, a believer in truth, honesty, and loyalty dumbfounds Conan by her interactions with the world around her. Something as simple as dismounting their horses for the night draws a clear line between Diana’s faith and Conan’s hardened worldview.
Review: Bingo Love
By Ben Snyder
In the fewest words possible, Bingo Love is sweet which is perfectly all right. It’s a romantic, real, and brisk retelling of queer love. But that’s pretty much all it is. It’s so sweet that it’s saccharine. It’s so sweet that all obstacles feel inconsequential, if even obstacles at all. This is refreshing and love is great and all that jazz, but it ended up being a pretty boring read.
Review: Harley Quinn #35
By Cat Wyatt
When I first saw the cover for issue 35, I thought it would be one of two things; a short story where Batwoman cameos, or a quick, light-hearted one-shot. I was wrong on both counts. Let’s just say that while Harley is back at home safe and sound, she still isn’t acting like her normal, devil-may-care self, and it’s actually pretty heartbreaking to see (especially for her friends).
Review: Ice Cream Man #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Listen… I have no idea what I read, but I enjoyed it. By that I mean, it’s unclear to me what’s going on in this story and where it’s going to go from here, but what I read was enjoyable. It really boiled down to one line of dialogue, which I won’t spoil, but basically, I was like, “yeah, I agree.” There was probably a swear word and something else that I said attached to that sentence, but that was the gist.
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?
