Review: Goosebumps: Download and Die!
By Garrett Hanneken
To me, the memorable thing about Goosebumps are the various monsters and mishaps that the kids encounter. With that in mind, this comic touched basis on that with about three references to the array of characters under the Goosebumps title which appears to be a decent amount for a first issue. However, I couldn’t help but wish for more.

Review: Punks Not Dead #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I’m more surprised that there hasn’t already been several comics with this same title. Comics to me will always be this amazing middle ground between books, movies, tv, and music which makes Punks Not Dead well suited for comic books. It’s also sure to make every 90’s Vertigo Comic fan go, “It’s so 90’s Vertigo Comics!” Which I’m sure the group behind Black Crown is a little tired of hearing at this point. I won’t deny that it’s true though, but it’ll be the last time I mention it.

Review: Black Crown Quarterly #2
By Kelly Gaines
Does your mom want you to stop conducting interrogations in her kitchen? Have your disco days put you at serious risk for throwing out your back? If so, you’re not as alone as you may think.
Let me start by saying that I have never experienced a comic book quite like The Black Crown Quarterly before. That may say more about my need to branch out than it does about the book, but this issue was a ridiculously fun read with a unique and well-executed format. Imagine a mix of short, well-written articles surrounded by intermittent stories ranging from hilarious comedies to crime noir- all of which have top quality writing. As a comic book reader, it’s easy to pick up on when a writer is just phoning it in to reach a deadline, and when they’re dedicated to delivering high-quality work regardless of the subject matter or page count. As of issue #2, Black Crown is still delivering strong.

Review: Dread Gods #3
By Ben Snyder
Three issues into Dread Gods and it finally seems like the story will fulfill on the promise of the original issue. Throughout almost the entirety of Dread Gods #3, I gave up on the series. Nothing new or exciting happened. The supposed plot revelation felt cliché and the writing was adequate at best. But the ending opened up a whole new element for future issues that I never would have expected.
Writer Ron Marz’s series hasn’t been a groundbreaking piece with biting socio/political commentary. If anything the series has simply served as a way to see ancient Greek Gods adorned like modern-day wrestlers duke it out. And this isn’t a bad thing as that is an awesome premise that would have most readers hooked. It simply becomes an issue because Marz is so intent on forcing it away from entertainment. Marz seems predetermined to draw obvious parallels between the Gods World and Carver’s.

Review: Assassinistas #2
By Kelly Gaines
Assassinistas #2 turns bringing your child to work on its head in a well-paced and hilarious way. For anyone who missed issue one, #2 starts out with a brief recap, laying the groundwork for the bizarre spy adventure ahead. The premise is simply stated, but nonetheless unique. A college guy and his boyfriend (Dominic and Taylor) tag along with his ex-bounty hunter mother (Octavia) to solve the kidnapping of a little boy. The catch? The little boy is the son of one of her former teammates- one currently too pregnant to take the case herself. The other catch? The case may bring the former “Assassinistas” a little closer to home than they expected.

Review: Sword of Ages #2
By Cat Wyatt
Issue 2 of Sword of Ages continues the epic fantasy series surrounding a girl named Avalon. The more I read of this series, the more it feels like an Arthurian tale occurring on another planet. Not that I have any problem with this sort of spin, it adds some interesting elements, to be sure. It’s interesting to see a more science fiction (and gender-swapped) version of King Arthur.

Berkeley Breathed's "Bloom County: Shenaniganary" Coming in 2018
Press Release
Picking up right where the previous volume left off, Bloom County: Shenaniganary collects year three of Berkeley Breathed’s newest Bloom County strips.
The residents of Bloom County are back to put their trademark tragi-comic spin on the horrors of the previous year, so lock all your worries in the anxiety closet for a bit. Who knows? When you come back they may be just the tiniest bit funnier. The stakes are higher, the punchlines are sharper, and the laughter is more desperate!

Review: Assassinistas #1
By Ben Snyder
The trope of an ex-assassin being pulled back into their old line of work has been done so many times before with varying degrees of success. Lady Killer has been a fun, easy read from recent memory, while films such as John Wick have been tremendous box office success. Assassinistas #1 creates its own standard as a somewhat more indie candidate. With art that looks ripped right out an Adult Swim program and a story packed with enough emotion and humor to keep it interesting, Assassinistas proves to be a stellar read.
