Review: Dragon Ball Super- E.124
By Erika Suarez
The tables turn when the Saiyans incredibly new power pushes back Jiren and is almost at his breaking point to release his full strength. The elevating fight is set back for this episode, and Super solely focuses on the rest of the warriors with the battle including Dyspo, Frieza, And Gohan. We see true leadership from Gohan when he takes the shots against Universe 11’s fastest warrior while he works as a team with Frieza. Sadly, the respected warrior is let down by an unsatisfying elimination.

By Erika Suarez
Episode 2 changes up it's setting when Sora Takes Mii-kun to school, and we find out that keeping a mummy is actually a handful, much like caring for any pet. Tazuki is eager to know what contains inside the pudgy mummy while the episode delivers simple and effortless character development between Mii-kun and Tazuki.
Review: Dagashi Kashi 2 E.01
By Dustin Cabeal
At first glance, Dagashi Kashi is a ten-minute-long candy commercial. There is no denying that, it’s a candy commercial through and through which is why I almost gave up on the first season of the show. If I hadn’t run out of shows to watch I may never have discovered the wonderful story that’s running alongside that candy commercial.
Review: Godzilla – Part 1, Episode 1 “Planet of the Monsters”
By Dustin Cabeal
Is it just me or does seeing anything labeled “Part 1” just kind of making you cringe. It’s like, Nah, just tell me how many parts there are already. Because frankly, if you told me there were six parts left, I would be a one and done.
The story for Godzilla, Netflix’s original 3-D animation produced by Toho, is that humans have abandoned Earth after Godzilla takes over. With the help of two alien races, they blast off into space looking to find another planet to fuck up. It’s been 22 years, and they haven’t found anything. Meanwhile, their resources are running low, so they are encouraging old people to basically piss off on suicide missions. Our main character Haruo is referred to as Captain, though it’s never and I mean never established why the fuck anyone calls him that.

Review: Batgirl #19
By Cat Wyatt
Batgirl #19 is the start of a new plot, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that was a little bit confused upon seeing this cover. Batgirl and Cobblepot working together? According to the caption on the cover (which can sometimes be misleading, intentionally or not), they’re ‘Burnside’s newest crime-fighting duo.’ What alternative universe have we been flung to? Obviously I just had to read this one and see what was going on!
Review: Monstress #13
By Ben Snyder
Monstress #13 begins the newest story arc in Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s sprawling fantasy epic. While still bogged down by some of the issues that plagued it previously, Monstress #13 introduces enough wrinkles into the Monstress formula to spice it up a bit while also providing a fun and entertaining read.
Review: Doomsday Clock #3
By Dustin Cabeal
Take that Victory Gin! Yeah… fuck you and your cheap bottle that breaks at the most believable spot! Who drinks gin? People? I know people that drink gin! Why the fuck is that a cover! When is this comic going to do something? Huh? What’s that lady’s name? Why can’t I remember it? Also, I swear to fucking god if the Joker ends up being their son I’m going to go down to DC’s office and shit in their lobby!
Review: Cold War #1
By Jonathan Edwards
AfterShock has been making a pretty good name for itself over the last year or so. Their catalog of books has expanded exponentially, and they’ve maintained a decently high standard of quality across the board. So, when they first announced Cold War, it seemed to be a pretty safe bet for some quality high concept shenanigans. Unfortunately, that’s not what we get from this first issue. And, what we get instead is a jumbled and unengaging plot, characters devoid of development and/or likeability, and a blatant absence of any proper reason to bother with any subsequent issues.
Review: Wonder Woman #39
By Cat Wyatt
Issue 39 is the second in what I assume are three issues involving the Silver Swan. When we left off a crushed fan named Vanessa had cracked under her disappointment of being abandoned (how she saw it at least) and became the villain the Silver Swan. She attacked and killed a family that Wonder Woman had recently saved, knowing that she would rush to check on them when she heard something was wrong (much like she had done for Vanessa in the early days after her own rescue). It’s understandable how to someone like Vanessa this would only add fuel to the fire.
Review: Sink #4
By Dustin Cabeal
At the end of every year, we roll out our list of the best and worst comics. It’s a tricky thing because where do you draw the line. Some titles have completed, while others are just starting, but show fantastic promise. There is a time in the past in which I picked a book for one of my best of choices that had just started, and while that first issue or so were great, the series quickly tapered off. Since then I like to give a series a few more under the belt before putting them on my list.
Review: Suicide Squad #34
By Cat Wyatt
Issue 34 is still focused on poor Juan Soria. If you remember from last time, Juan is one of those background type characters who are always in the wrong place at the wrong time. The problem is he knows it, and he’s in the worst place of all; he’s an extra on a Suicide Squad mission. He’s already witnessed most of the other (unnamed) backup team members die (and pretty horrifically I might add), so things aren’t looking too good for him at the moment.

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.
