Review: Dark Fang #5

By Cat Wyatt

In Dark Fang #4 we were left off with Valla in a very dangerous situation. I’m not going to lie to you; I’ve been very worried about her ever since I read the last issue. This issue picks up right where things left off; with Valla hanging in chains and her captor gloating all the while about his success and his divinity (which I would love to bring into question, based on his actions alone).

Review: Cici’s Journal: The Adventures of a Writer-in-Training

By Dustin Cabeal

Once upon a time seems like a good place to start. That is who Cici’s Journal begins, and I have admittedly been staring at the screen trying to find an opening for this review. Usually, when I start a review I know the tone, be it positive or negative, I know where I stand. The only time this is a struggle is when there are numerous pluses and minuses of the work being reviewed. It leaves you trying to find a starting point because once the review gets started you trust that you’ll figure it all out. At least, that’s how I review, but I’m probably a terrible example.

Review: Batman #43

By Cat Wyatt

Batman #43 ended with a bang, so to speak. Poison Ivy has taken control of almost every human being on the planet (with the obvious exceptions of Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle). Being that they’re two of the last people left with free will, they’re feeling somewhat compelled to try and do something to stop what is happening. During their attempts, Bruce may or may not (read: totally did) pushed Ivy a little much and taken a full Superman punch to the face. Needless to say, that didn’t go over to well.

Review: Peter & Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths

By Dustin Cabeal

Peter & Ernesto is exactly what you want from an all-ages story in that it can be enjoyed by a lot of people coming from different moments in their life. For someone like myself, I read almost everything, but I’m also curating my child’s reading experience at the same time. Even though my son is only two and still a bit too young for this story, it’s one that I’m looking forward to sharing with him when he’s older.

Review: Lucy Dreaming #1

By Cat Wyatt

Lucy Dreaming is a new five-part series from BOOM! Studios that’s full of colorful art and an interesting idea come to life (literally). I’ll confess I wanted to give this series a try because Lucy with all her daydreaming and her nose stuck in oddball books reminds me quite a bit of a young me. Though I doubt that’ll be the case once she’s finished going off on all of her crazy adventures.

Review: Kill or Be Killed #17

By Ben Snyder

Each and every new chapter in Kill or Be Killed excites me and leaves me with more and more questions tat I can’t wait to get answered. Kill or Be Killed #17 is no exception as writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips deliver another riveting entry. Chapter #17 offers some interesting revelations, and the delivery of them is brilliant if not untrustworthy, but the main success of this issue is how Brubaker toys with the idea that Dylan may not be insane despite being in an asylum.

Review: Scarlett Hart: Monster Hunter

By Dustin Cabeal

When I saw Scarlett Hart: Monster Hunter announced, my gut said I should pass on it. I didn’t because I still like to challenge myself to read things I’m not particularly drawn to or that I’ve judged without reading. Sometimes though, your gut knows you best. Because when I read the titles, looked at the cover and finished with the synopsis, my only thought was, “Sounds generic.”

Review: Death of Love #2

By Cat Wyatt

In issue #1 of Death of Love our main character, Harris, was a little on the dumb side and took a drug from a complete stranger (something I’m pretty sure our parents have been trying to teach us not to do since before we could walk…but whatever). The drug? Well apparently it can give you the ability to see cupids (cupidae?), and trust me; they do not like being seen. When we last saw Harris, he was running to the bathroom in a panic, hoping that the cupid he spotted wouldn’t shoot him with an arrow (and not the ‘make you fall in love’ type of arrow either).

Review: Descender #28

By Ben Snyder

Descender #28 succeeds for many reasons that the previous issue failed. It feels relevant to the overall story, it’s story is interesting if a bit tedious in the beginning, we finally learn what exactly a “Descender” is, and it features Dustin Nguyen’s stellar art. Descender #28 still isn’t a perfect issue as many of the pitfalls of the story are still present, but it is still a marked improvement over the previous entries.

Review: Star Scouts: The League of Lasers

By Dustin Cabeal

I wasn’t particularly a big fan of the first volume of Star Scouts. I’m always willing to give something I don’t like a second chance because with comics you never know what can happen. I have inadvertently fallen in love with a series as I continued to read it. I have also fallen out of love with a series while being excited about it.

Review: Green Lanterns #43

By Cat Wyatt

The last several issues of Green Lanterns has been focused on the superhero trafficking that’s been occurring. Issue #43 brings us the conclusion to this boy, and it is not a letdown. To recap, in the last issue Jess was surrounded by mind-controlled superheroes (she’s attempting to save them by using constructs to destroy the chips in their brains – risky), Simon is fighting the big bad, and Scrapps went ahead and found Night Pilot…sort of.
