Review: Children of the Fall

By Thea Srinivasan

If there were one word, to sum up, this comic, I would call this “pitiful.” There was so much that could have been done with this, yet this was a piece that made me give myself a forehead slap. Before I go any further with this review, if you cannot handle violence or nudity, this comic is not for you.

Review: Batgirl #21

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #21 of Batgirl is more of a one-shot story than anything else, which works out well since the last plot has been fully wrapped up. This issue starts off ‘somewhere in Burnside’ where a redhead (not Barbara) is doing her nightly routine before bed. There’s a twist (of course, without a twist there’s no story), she’s trying a new cream tonight…one that has disastrous effects.

Review: Run For Your Lives #1

By Kelly Gaines

Run for Your Lives #1 is the book either based on or inspired by the popular 'Run for Your Lives 5K' that so many of my college acquaintances claimed to train for but never went to. The goal of a ‘Run for Your Life’ isn’t placing, nor is it the sweet satisfaction of reaching a personal goal. These runners run for their survival, a survival that is only ensured if they make it to the finish line. It’s the Hunger Games of the zombie apocalypse, with an American Ninja Warrior twist. Enough references? Apparently not. The issue is a vague and uninspired backstory that starts the series off completely on the wrong foot. Pun only partially intended.

Review: Batman Beyond #18

By Cat Wyatt

I’ve been waiting for Batman Beyond #18 to release for only a couple of week, realistically, but it feels like it’s been forever. With the reintroduction of Ten, I’ve found myself even more invested in finding out what is going to happen next. Especially since she’s in the hands of Payback (I’m a little bummed that her great reveal ended with her getting kidnapped, but I suppose that’s what happens when you’re not the main character in a series).

Review: Days of Hate #3

By Ben Snyder

 Days of Hate is not a pretty comic. It is ugly, and it is grimy. It is vicious, and it is pessimistic. But hot damn is it not accurate and forewarning. Writer Ales Kot and Artist Danijel Žeželj team up again for their post-political dystopian series and deliver an exceptionally strong outing with chapter #3. This is a very quiet character-driven story that works on multiple aspects, and while it can be a bit preachy at times, it is still smart and heavy hitting.

Review: Mother Panic Gotham A.D. #1

By Cat Wyatt

Mother Panic Gotham A.D. is a new series in the intermingled worlds of Batman and Mother Panic. Set ten years in the future, there’s no Batman, zero tolerance for vigilantes that aren’t pets of the aristocracy, and still plenty of a need for revenge. That’s the world that Violet Paige finds herself living in now.

Review: Abbott #3

By Ben Snyder

Out of a job and stretched to her wits end, Abbott #3 doesn’t leave it’s titular protagonist in the best of ways. There isn’t much more explained, but a few more interesting mysteries and a seemingly horrifying antagonist make this entry another strong entry into the Abbott series. Some of the minor gripes of the series are still present such as writer Saladin Ahmed’s overuse of speech bubbles, but that shouldn’t detract from a fun and enjoyable read.

Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #41

By Cat Wyatt

The last issue of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps left us off at a rough point; the mission to rescue Hal Jordan is underway, but as of the end of the issue hadn’t actually completed. When last we saw him, Hal was finally up and fighting again, a happy sight to be sure. I’ve been anxious for the past two weeks, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that has been looking forward to this rematch.

Review: Lumberjanes: Bonus Tracks

By Cat Wyatt

Fans of Lumberjanes will be thrilled to have all of the short stories and single issues (so far) all in one place; Bonus Tracks. Included are some fantastic shorts, such as Beyond Bay Leaf, Makin’ The Ghost of It, Sphinxes and Riddles and Wishes Oh My!, Faire and Square, and finally Las Estrellas Del Campo: Edicion Lumberjanes. Being that these are primarily one-shot stories, the authors and artists for these issues vary pretty dramatically. But they all contain the characters we’ve come to know and love, so I’m happy with it!
