Review: Batman: Gotham by Gaslight
By Kelly Gaines
Gotham by Gaslight is the feature-length ‘Elseworlds’ movie that nobody asked for. For anyone not familiar with DC’s Elseworlds, they’re similar to the Marvel ‘What If’ titles. The short non-canonical stories range from funny to disturbing and change time, place, and sometimes even species of classic DC characters. Gotham by Gaslight asks one question: what would it be like if Jack the Ripper killed in Gotham? Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, Commissioner Gordon, and a host of other well known Batman characters are transported to the 1880’s. Here, Bruce Wayne looks to fund the first Gotham’s World Fair in hopes of bringing some light to Gotham. Unfortunately, the killing spree of Jack the Ripper pulls Bruce’s attention in another direction. Despite the time warp and serial killer addition, the Gotham in Gaslight is familiar- grime, gore, darkness, and masked vigilante justice. Is the concept intriguing? Sure. Was the original comic a good read? Yes. Was the movie good? No.
Review: Floating Head #1
By Kelly Gaines
Comic anthologies might be my new thing. Floating Head #1 has fully converted me. These books are pure fun. Floating Head is for anyone who enjoys weird creatures and sci-fi misadventures. A majority of the stories managed to get at least a chuckle out of me, and a few got a full on, not library appropriate, roll of laughter. The whole anthology is worth a look, but there were a few standout stories I’d like to mention specifically.
Review: The Resurrected #1
By Thea Srinivasan
Clean, crisp and quiet. The three words that I use, to sum up, “The Resurrected” by Christian Carnouche. The tale is compacted into 24 pages and unfortunately does not give everything to be classified as a “book.” Instead, I consider this beginning to be chapter one of a potential long-standing sci-fi thriller that just makes you want to keep exploring the creator’s mind. But in any case, I’m glad the author let his imagination create an alternative future that wasn’t globally post-apocalyptic nor was entirely technologically realistic. The way Carnouche created his world reminded me of a combination between “The Fifth Element” and “Ben 10” with the use of futuristic and sci-fi elements. But I must digress in the fact that the story does live it up to the three words.

Review: Hard Wyred #1 & 2
By Thea Srinivasan
If I had to describe one movie that’s similar to this comic, I would choose The Matrix. Both of them talk about uploading someone’s mind to the internet, the belief that A.I programs can have sentience and physics-defying abilities someone can have on the internet. If you haven’t watched the movie series, I’m sorry I spoiled it for you.
Review: Copperopolis # 1
By Thea Srinivasan
If the answer to the universe’s problems was handed on a silver platter, we would probably end up in something similar to the D.C and Marvel’s universe. Like several others, I can only dream about the scientific advancements that can come to life and I end up relying on hope for any sense of discovery in different fields. It led me to wonder, what if everything relied on one source of hope?
