Review: Zen Pencils - Creative Struggle
By Dustin Cabeal
There is no better way to describe Creative Struggle than to use the tagline. If I did that though, this would be an incredibly short review. Creative Struggle is a book of illustrations that take quotes, biographies, interviews and anything else that a famous creative person may have said and put them together.
Review: Reset (2017)
By Dustin Cabeal
Reset isn’t quite a time travel movie, and it isn’t quite a parallel earth movie, but it does find a way to be a little bit of both. The story follows a science team that is studying time travel. Unfortunately, for them, the American’s are interested in their research after failing on their own and ending up with a ton of people going crazy and dying.
Review: Terraformars - Season 1
By Erika Suarez
In Terra Formars, our creepy crawling friends that hide in our kitchen cabinets have turned into man-killing humanoids with killer abs and unsettles you in horrifying action when an international space team is sent to Terraform Mars and fight against them. The bloodbath battle brings all of this together in Blu-ray with uncut and uncensored agony.
Review: Asylum vol. 1: New Born
By Cat Wyatt
What immediately drew my attention to Asylum was the stunning cover. Have you ever taken a moment to browse through art history covers? I have, and this one immediately reminded me of a painting in the Romanticism Art Movement. Which is something I’ve never really seen applied to a graphic novel cover before. It’s hard to pass something so unique up, to say the least.
Review: Any One Of Us #2
By Thea Srinivasan
Adrestia has come back into the picture with even more action and an extra dose of humanity ironically enough. But I cannot go any further with this review without a warning. For anyone who has not read the first comic, please do not read this review. This is your only spoiler warning for this review. Turn back now if you DON’T want spoilers. Also, this particular issue will contain very triggering, graphic content in terms of murder, rape, and PTSD. For these reasons, I highly do not recommend this particular comic for anyone who cannot handle such macabre content
Review: Fantomah #4
By Kelly Gaines
To begin honestly, I was drawn to the Fantomah title because I recognized the name from Jon Morris’ The League of Regrettable Superheroes. Regrettable superhero is not a nomenclature any writer wants attached to their character, but If you’ve been following The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, you’ll notice another “regrettable” character (Madame Satan) has made quite the come back in her modern incarnation. So with Madame Satan’s blessing, I was eager to see how her fellow regrettable was faring in her current title.
Review: Not Alone
By Cat Wyatt
Not Alone is a really interesting new series. I actually had to sit down and think for a while before writing my review for it. It both is and isn’t a story; which sounds strange, but bear with me. It all starts out in the middle of a story, and it ends in the middle too (though I suspect there will be another volume, so that isn’t exactly true). That means the focus is more on the characters than on what is happening around them.
Review: The Mercenary #1
By Thea Srinivasan
Although this comic was written over several years ago, its charm and beautiful scenery, art, and logic to the world makes it worth so much in the present. I will have to give a viewer discretion for this particular comic as features naked women and violence. This is my only warning for a viewer’s discretion before I go on.
Review: Swamp Thing Winter Special #1
By James Anders II
In my lifelong love of the comic book medium, Swamp Thing has been one of my favorites. Ever since I picked up an issue of Saga of the Swamp Thing in the early 80s, I have forever been transfixed on the character and the series through all of the ups and downs of the story. I’ve been there for the good (Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, Nancy A. Collins, Brian K. Vaughn, Scott Snyder, Charles Soule). I’ve been through the bad (Andy Diggle, Joshua Dysart). I’ve been through the “meh” (Grant Morrison, Mark Millar, pre-fallout). And I’ve been through the ugly (Doug Wheeler, God bless him). Through it all, I have seen in Swampy the story of a man, a monster, life, death, and rebirth. Like the changes of the seasons, the Swamp Thing character has had periods of great life and growth, decline, and regrowth. It has all been very fitting for a character whose very essence is that of nature.
Review: Solar Flare - Season 1: Fort Myers
By Cat Wyatt
Solar Flare is described as the Walking Dead, but with science (and without zombies, but given the title that’s probably obvious). It’s a dystopian graphic novel, bordering on the post-apocalyptic side (sounds all doom and gloom, I know). It ponders the question; what would happen to the human race if we suddenly lost access to all forms of power and electricity? Could we survive without our precious electronics? Or would society collapse?
Review: Mindbender #1-5
By Cat Wyatt
Do you ever wonder how you’d handle everything in your life changing, in the blink of an eye? Alex doesn’t have to wonder, he’s already been there. He’s the main character in a new series, Mindbender, by Scout Comics, and it’s safe to say that he’s had more than his fair share of trauma.
Review: Niourl
By Ben Snyder
Niourk would be hard to describe to anyone. It starts off extremely simple, telling the tale of seemingly Stone Age tribe outcast and his struggles to get back home; but then it becomes so much more and expansive. In theory, this seems great, but too often Niourk seemed to meander and waste time, leading up to an ending that can seem out of nowhere and uninspired. There are also some characters that are underdeveloped and themes that once again seem ungrounded. But Niourk isn’t entirely bad, as the first chapters of the book offer an interesting take on a familiar story and the art can be gruesome and exceptionally cool.
Review: Harley Quinn #37
By Cat Wyatt
After the ending of the last issue, I was concerned about where Harley was going to go next, and what was going to end up happening. As it turns out, I had a right to be concerned. Running away from home and running late-night ads for your vigilante business (paid, of course) does not strike me as something an emotionally stable person would do. But then again, we’re talking about Harley here.
Review: No. 1 With a Bullet #4
By Cat Wyatt
No. 1 With a Bullet #4 starts out in a surprising manner; with Jad Davies admitting to the other board members of the business that he did, in fact, sleep with Nash and film her without her knowledge (or consent). Now, admitting this to two guys in a locked office is completely different from admitting it on the news, but it’s a start, right?
Review: Green Lanterns #40
By Cat Wyatt
Our Green Lanterns have been busy – busier than usual actually. Clearly something is going on, the question is, what? A tropical storm is the most recent event requiring multiple heroes to step up and help to save the day (man, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have heroes during natural disasters?). Several notable heroes are in the backgrounds of these scenes, such as Powergirl and Supergirl, as well as some less known heroes like Bulleteer (yes, you read that right).
Review: Batman: White Knight #5
By Ben Snyder
Batman: White Knight #5 continues the story of a seemingly reformed Joker and how the rest of Gotham copes and deals with it. Sean Murphy has been in fine form throughout this mini-series, and issue #5 is no exception. Murphy is able to straddle a fine line with showing the mental stability of the various characters in this series and his art offers a unique spin on an already well mapped out city. But perhaps the greatest asset to this series so far has nothing to do with Murphy’s writing or art, but with the legacy of a character like the Joker. Mainly, we still don’t know how this is going to all shake out.
Review: Batman #40
By Cat Wyatt
Batman #40 starts off with Batman and Wonder Woman still stuck defending us against the everlasting horde, all so that the standard guard, the Gentle Man, can have a chance to visit his wife. The catch? The Gentleman may or may not have failed to mention the slight time difference between the two dimensions. I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s anxiously awaited the last two weeks, hoping that the hinted at event wouldn’t actually occur.
Review: Backstagers Valentine’s 2018 Intermission #1
By Cat Wyatt
This special, ahem, intermission sorry, starts off on a pretty cute (or mushy, depending on how you look at it) note; there’s a whole page dedicated to pink and red roses and the adorable couple known as…wait, is there a ship name for Jory and Hunter? I don’t know this, but I feel like it’s something I should be aware of. If there isn’t one, I call dibs on naming it!
Review: Mother Panic - Batman Special #1
By Kelly Gaines
I want to start off with the one thing that irritated me with Mother Panic - Batman #1. Maybe I never noticed it in Mother Panic, but I wish they’d use actual curse words instead of Violet losing her “@!*&&#$” mind. I’m going to lose my @!&&#$ mind over that. I’m starting with the negative because the rest of this review is going to be a long-winded fawning over Mother Panic as a title, followed by a serious appreciation for the adventure Mother Panic - Batman #1 sets up.
Review: VS #1
By Ben Snyder
I am very confused on what exactly VS #1 is about. It’s really pretty to look, and Flynn seems like an interesting enough character. But it’s really confusing to know what is real and not real in the world of VS? Obviously, Flynn is a grizzled combat veteran, but did that combat happen in cyberspace, a virtual reality rehab program, in his past, or in his future? Flynn is obviously a celebrity but how did achieve it? Hopefully, we’ll see in future issues, because VS #1 is definitely successful in making me want more of it.

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.
