Review: Batwoman #14
By Cat Wyatt
Issue number 14 of Batwoman continues the Fall of the House of Kang plotline. Kate’s sister, Beth, has been kidnapped by Tahani, and it’s safe to assume that her reasons are not in anyone’s best interest. Beth has a supervillian past, she was once known as Alice, and was absolutely lethal with her concoctions. It’s the reason Kate had to place her in the asylum to begin with. But as it turns out that asylum was about as competent at keeping their inmates inside as Arkham is (read: pretty horrible at it, really).
Review: Aquaman #35
By Garrett Hanneken
Aquaman has proven to be an epic in the making from issue #25 and so on. Now, 10 issues later from the significant #25 that started the reign of King Rath, readers may wonder if Aquaman is showing signs of slowing down.
Review: Assassinistas #4
By Kelly Gaines
Assassinistas continues to confound me. #4 has raised some serious questions about how conjugal visits work, what qualifies as bad parenting for a spy, and exactly how easy is it to function after being stabbed? It’s a whirlwind story in the best way. Assassinistas offers no chance to catch your breath once an issue is started. It’s action, action, action. Well- It’s Espionage, sex, stabbing- and that’s fine too. We pick up again with the over 30 superspies as Octavia and her son (and her son’s boyfriend) search for Charlotte’s son, Charlotte reaches out to Octavia’s ex because she suspects Octavia of being the kidnapper, and Rosalyn continues to be an asshole and reminisces about other times she was an asshole. If you can keep the characters straight, Assassinistas is pure fun. There’s quite a bump of time between issues, but opening with a quick recap is an easy fix- one I wish comics would use more frequently.
Review: Harley Quinn #42
By Cat Wyatt
Every now and then Harley Quinn will release a one shot issue that’s either silly or exploring a new storytelling type. This issue is one of those stories. As you can probably tell from the cover and name of the issue, this is a riff on both Old Man Logan and Mad Max. If you’re not into the random stories Harley Quinn sometimes tells, you could probably get away with skipping this one. Or you could read on and enjoy all of the blatant references and jokes that are made. Your call.
Review: Goosebumps Monsters at Midnight
I still own several dozen Goosebumps books. Occasionally on Halloween I watch old episodes of the show. Seeing a comic with fan favorite Slappy on the cover got me real excited, but this one is written by a different person than normal and it shows. The story really feels like it is missing the R.L. Stone touch. The creep levels are lacking and the characters really aren’t that interesting.
Review: Lucy Dreaming #2
By Cat Wyatt
Lucy Dreaming is a surreal and comical series about a young girl who learns that the dreams she has are more real than most people would like. In the last issue Lucy realized that she wasn’t actually dreaming at night, but transporting around. Here we get to see her reactions to everything she’s learned.
Review: Descender #29
By Ben Snyder
Often times Descender has felt plodding and been too wrapped up in it’s own convoluted mythos for it’s own good. But Descender #29 is a desperately needed change of pace. As Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen begin ramping up to this heavily anticipated endgame, the script and plot both begin to feel much faster and carry a greater sense of urgency. This is also one of the first issues of Descender where I didn’t feel as lost or bored at certain points as I felt in prior issues. It is fitting that with only a couple of issues left, Descender is pumping out some of the best issues since it’s beginning.
Review: Evolution #6
By Cat Wyatt
Things have been progressing pretty steadily for Evolution (unless we’re talking about the actual evolution happening in the series, in which case it is occurring in leaps and bounds). I feel like this issue has given me a better idea of which events are happening when, without actually telling me anything concrete. It’ll be interesting to see how everything falls into place in the end.
Review: Walt Disney Showcase #2
By Sam King
This series is basically the result of bringing Italian Disney comics to America. This is a pretty cool comic for major Disney fans like myself, but even I found a couple things kind of interesting about this that I wasn’t expecting. If you love Disney, knock yourself out and pick it up. If not, you’re probably better off with some of the other Disney titles that are out there depending on what you like. Each Walt Disney Showcase issue so far is a republishing of a foreign story that American audiences are now getting the opportunity to enjoy. There is no real continuity here as each seems to be a stand-alone story you can pick up and enjoy without reading prior issues.
Review: Death of Love #3
By Cat Wyatt
Things took quite a turn in the last issue of Death of Love. We were left with Philo staring down at a very dead cupid, while the rest of the cupidae immediately realized that Binky was dead. That’s not exactly a situation I’d want to be in, considering how deadly those little guys apparently are. Then again, I’m sure Philo would rather not be in the situation either (though it was his pride that caused this whole issue to begin with…).
Review: Antar: The Black Knight #1
By Ben Snyder
Antar #1 is an exceptionally adequate comic. Nothing is particularly amazing or noteworthy but it aspires to do, it achieves in moderation. Retelling the legend of Antar, a pre-Islamic warrior poet from Arabia, writer Nnedi Okorafor hits all the necessary beats needed. There is some issue with him using the flashback narrative to tell his story as often times details can be left out, but often times you can piece together the important stuff. However the art and colors by Eric Battle and Jason Scott Jones respectively are simply not on the same level of the writing, which really isn’t saying much considering the overall meh-ness of the former.
Review: Green Lanterns #45
By Cat Wyatt
In the last issue of Green Lanterns we saw the return of Singularity Jain, and while we all knew this wasn’t going to end well we were powerless to stop what was bound to happen. The issue ended with Jessica getting turned into a black hole (at least I’m assuming that is the case – she could have just been sucked into it, theoretically) that is hovering over the city (creepy). It probably goes without saying that the situation is not good.
Review: John Wick #2
John Wick #2 was supposed to come out in October of last year. Here we are seven months later. John Wick as so many know, is a retired hitman who can kill dozens of people by himself in fast and creative ways, with a number of weapons. He also turns mundane objects into murder weapons, like pencils. I loved both films and I was excited to hear about a comic series, and I can honestly say that I was even excited to get the chance to review it! The last reviewer who reviewed issue #1 wasn’t very impressed and quite honestly, I can see why.
Review: Batman #45
By Cat Wyatt
Batman issue number 45 starts off a whole new plot, though it’s worth noting that in a warped way this all still has to do with the buildup towards the wedding. This is one of those issues where you kind of have to take a moment, breathe, and let it run its course until everything is explained. So please do bear with me! The cover should give you a pretty idea of how skewed things have become (for one reason or another) in this issue, as Batman is screaming for the death of Blooster Gold.
Review: Mister Miracle #8
By Kelly Gaines
I’ve been raving about this Mister Miracle run since the first issue like an obsessive lunatic. Why? Because it’s really exciting to see a masterpiece in the making. I wasn’t alive yet when the twelve issues of Watchmen were first released, and I was only two when Kingdom Come got its start- so I doubt I would have been able to grasp the material. Or, you know, read. What I have been here for is the disappointing rise and fall of The New 52, the mediocre introduction of Doomsday Clock, and the complete clusterfuck of character swapping that Marvel’s been trying to sort through.

By Justin McCarty
I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
