Review: Hockey Karma

By Dustin Cabeal

Having read The Hockey Saint, I was curious about this sequel which picks up towards the end of Jeremiah Jacobson’s hockey career. It also seemed to be a sequel to Stereotypical Freaks, but unlike the two hockey books, I couldn’t get into that story having started and stopped it four separate times. If you’re curious about all three, I would advise you to read Hockey Karma last, as it takes place after aforementioned stories.

Review: Wonder Woman #42

By Cat Wyatt

Diana has been through a lot lately, and it doesn’t seem like the universe is willing to let up anytime soon. Recently Diana found, and then lost, her twin brother Jason. In the last issue he arrived (again), only changed somehow. Perhaps he can help her with the impending battle against Darkseid?

Review: Chinatown Bus

By Dustin Cabeal

Chinatown Bus is the type of book I used to love discovering at comic conventions. I’ve stopped going to comic conventions mostly because it stopped being a place of discovery for me. Often I would actually avoid artist alley because I had comics sitting in my inbox waiting to review. I know, that’s pretty lame, but I’m the type of person that doesn’t like to disappoint others even if it’s giving them a negative review.

Review: No. 1 With A Bullet #5

By Cat Wyatt

The pace for No. 1 With a Bullet has picked up pretty significantly in the last two issues. When we left off the last issue, we saw the instigator for all of Nash’s pain and trouble driving off a cliff (courtesy of his car not working properly) as well as a couple of other attacks (one on an online pervert harassing Nash and another on the investigator following her). I’ll admit I was a bit worried that Nash would take the blame for this if nothing else than in the media’s eye (which has been the problem all along, hasn’t it?).

Review: Eternity Girl #1

By Kelly Gaines

DC’s Young Animal imprint has added a new hero to their roster with the mysterious, nihilistic, and clinically depressed Eternity Girl #1. Once an overachieving student, Caroline Sharp is recruited by an agency known as Alpha 13. Her devoted service royally screws Caroline when her accidentally obtained superpowers go haywire and destroy the Alpha 13 home office. Caroline, horribly disfigured and struggling with her new abilities, is placed on indefinite leave and forced into psychiatric treatment. What do you do when you’re suspended from work, can’t maintain your human form, and can’t die no matter how hard you try? Drink. Drink a lot. Fortunately for Caroline, there must be a God, because her superhuman imperviousness left her with one crucial human component- the ability to get fucked up.

Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #40

By Cat Wyatt

It’s only been two weeks since the last issue of Hal Jordan, and the Green Lantern Corps came out, but it feels like it has been months. I’ve been so anxious to see what was going to happen next, and leaving Hal all alone in Zod’s control has not been comforting to me. There are a lot of things in motion right now, from Zod officially making a move to the Guardians interfering with the way John Stewart runs the Green Lantern Corps. I’ve been looking forward to seeing where it was going to go next.

Review: Gintama

By Robert Ramos

I spent countless hours and many days figuring out how to go about reviewing the live-action rendition of my all-time favorite anime. Should I go about it as an ultimate fanboy? Or, maybe, go in as unbiased critic? How I ever should I step into the realm of reviewing after being gone for so long? OH FUCK WHAT DO I DO!? Spoiler: I fanboy the shit out of this review. Sorry. So how did this movie fair out as a live-action flick of a beloved anime/manga? Let’s find out, shall we?

Review: Rick and Morty Presents: The Vindicators #1

By Kelly Gaines

Fans of the animated hit Rick and Morty know the gig- a hilarious, grim, and consistent deconstruction of genre after genre, trope after trope, and narrative after narrative. Rick and Morty is part comedy TV program, and part societal framing device fashioned in the style of Deconstructive criticism- the literary critique style so complex that my Sophomore Seminar chose to skip that chapter of critical theory. Rick and Morty creators Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have put that decision to shame.
