Review: Food Wars! vol. 23

By Dustin Cabeal

Well if this wasn’t the volume, I was fucking waiting for! Since I first started with this series, the biggest question I had has always revolved around Soma’s dad. As more small details emerged, it only made him more and more curious to the reader. With this latest arc, it became clear that whatever Azami was up to involved Joichiro.

Review: Motherlands #3

By Cat Wyatt

Motherlands #3 starts off with Tab and her (obnoxious) mother get a badly needed R&R and healing day (remember, Tab did actually get hurt in the last issue). The place they’re at is a sort of blend between a medical facility and a spa, which is actually an interesting concept. Apparently, they’ll make your body and aura feel better by the time you’re done. Or at least that’s the theory.

Review: Tokyo Ghoul vol. 14

By Dustin Cabeal

This marks the end of Tokyo Ghoul proper. I will decline reading wiki-pages that would clarify everything going on, but the gist is that after this volume is Tokyo Ghoul: re. Which is sure to confuse anime viewers when the third series by that name starts this month but is not the continuation of root A from what I understand. Pretty much, if you’re a Tokyo Ghoul fan, then who cares? Read it all, watch it all, just fucking enjoy it.

Review: Lumberjanes #48

By Cat Wyatt

It’s time for another Lumberjanes adventure! Some of the Lumberjanes have decided to team up and get the camp’s newsletter back up and running (which would have the added bonus of getting them a new badge). Oddly enough, our Roanoke cabin is not the forefront of this adventure, but instead, the Zodiac cabin is.

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.
