Review: Batman #42

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #42 of Batman has one of the more dramatic titles I’ve seen lately, ‘Hunted by the Justice League.’ It reminds me of the Injustice series, even though I know that isn’t the case here. Based on the cover it isn’t hard to get a good idea of who is behind the fight of Batman versus the Justice League (hint: how many Batman villains do you know of that love plants, are frequently represented by the color green, and have been known to hypnotize people via toxins?).

Review: Renegade: Martin Luther – The Graphic Biography

By Dustin Cabeal

Well, this is a first for me. I think the idea of a graphic biography about a religious figure seemed different enough to me that I wanted to give it a read. I’m not opposed to graphic biographies, but I do find myself enjoying them less and less. A lot of that has to do with the presentation, which is definitely one of the things that Renegade: Martin Luther has going against it.

Review: Batman: White Knight #6

By Ben Snyder

Batman: White Knight #6 largely serves as the mini-series’ “I told you so” moment in which everyone realizes they may have needed Batman all along. After everyone from Jack to Commissioner Gordon to even Nightwing plot on capturing the Batman, all hell breaks loose, and his services are needed more than ever, especially with the issue ending with a surprise appearance from The Joker. While Sean Murphy has done a heroic job with the series so far, this issue feels like a bit of a letdown.

Review: Geis vol. 2 – A Game Without Rules

By Dustin Cabeal

Having enjoyed the first volume of Geis, pronounced “Gesh,” I was looking forward to this second volume. The incredible thing that creator Alexis Deacon has done with this story is created a layered world, filled with unique and relatable characters. It’s also full of magic and mystery which in why the first volume stood out so much.

Review: Green Lanterns #42

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #42 of Green Lanterns continues the saga that the last few issues have carried us on. Simon and Jess have figured out that thanks to an online dating app superheroes (usually of a lower level) have been getting abducted. In the last issue, they were able to get an idea of where the heroes were being held captive. Meanwhile, the cause for all of this distress (Night Pilot), has been moved to a secondary location for reasons unknown.

Review: Coffin Crushers #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Sometimes when I support Kickstarters, I fall in love with the art before I read what the story is about. In this case, I didn’t pay any attention to what the story for Coffin Crushers was because I thought it was about the two dudes on the cover, and it is not.

That’s a good thing though because I was pleased to find it was about a squad of women in mech suits fighting vampires! This first issue sets the stage as one of the dudes from the cover comes riding in on a badass motorcycle, beats down a mech and takes its power supply. It’s quickly revealed that they’re running out of power supplies for their mechs and without the mech’s the stalemate between the human city and the vampires will come to an end as they’ll be overpowered and crushed.

Review: The Book of Silent Sky #1

By Thea Srinivasan

Here is a quick list of attributes I characterize with ninjas: violence, death, and teachers. If these three attributes aren’t somehow involved in a story about ninjas, I’m usually surprised and shocked.  But thankfully, this tale has all three just in the first volume itself. Yet the story doesn’t twist it into one giant cliché thankfully. Please note: this story is ONLY for people 16 and up. If blood and gore are too much for you, do NOT read this story.

This one-shot from Ray Wegner introduces the lineage of the Kingdom of Skulls as the current king and last king in the bloodline, prepares for a battle outside his gates.

Review: The Tales of Reverie #1 & 2

By Thea Srinivasan

While the mind is considered the greatest source of creativity, I consider one the greatest tools to create adventures we could never experience in reality. Some of the greatest stories end up becoming dream catchers for some people. But unlike dream catchers, the author chooses what they want their readers to see. When I think about it, books are like dream catchers for the author. With their intent in mind, they create tales that give experiences to other people around the world, regardless of how the story is told.

Review: Twin Star Exorcists vol. 11

By Dustin Cabeal

It seems that the new norm for Twin Star Exorcists will be some great moments and some generic tropes. Which works to an extent. It’s better than another popular manga that seems to have delved into tropes and nothing more. Still, when this series is breaking the mold, it’s at its best.
