Review: Jackass! vol. 1

By Thea Srinivasan

Sexuality is an elusive area of life as it comes out of nowhere and is something we cannot control. While it can be a beautiful aspect of life to explore, it can also cause confusion as it enters our life and dictates how we feel.  Sometimes sexuality clashes with our personal morals and we end up fighting an internal battle.  Luckily, there are cases in which people can learn to accept their sexuality and eventually embrace themselves. The following review is about a yaoi. If you are under the age of 18, please do not read this story is it contains graphic acts of sex. Again, this manga contains nudity and sex. This is my only warning.

Review: After Hours Vol. 1

By Thea Srinivasan

There are several places to find romance: at a restaurant, in the middle of a street or even a toilet. But finding love at a club is more realistic than finding love in a bathroom.  Personally, I’ve never been to a club as I legally cannot drink. To me, a club is a place where people can hook up with others and let loose.  Very rarely do I think of a club as a place to get to know people or enjoy music.

Review: About Betty's Boob

By Hunter T. Patrick

Such a lovely message. Elisabeth is a woman who just lost her breast and hair after fighting a disease. She begins to be shunned by society, and even worse her significant other. He tries, he really does for her, but he cannot get over her having a single breast. She begins to have everyone turn against her and all values of beauty cause her to spiral worse and worse into loneliness and despair in society. Yep. Sounds pretty depressing. But as with all great tragedies there should be a little hope. This plays into hope. The metaphors are strong, and the social commentary is stronger. This is a book that unashamedly plays into femininity and beauty, it is all the stronger for not being afraid to put it all into its art.

Review: Tap Dance Killer #1

By Dan Traeger

I have a little secret to share with you all. It’s kind of embarrassing because it involves a colossal multinational corporation that holds an illegal monopoly on my favorite industry. I hate big corporations. They’re faceless and soulless and they swallow up people in their destructive wake like Great White Sharks on a bait ball of Mackerel. But…

Review: Wonder Woman Annual #2

By Cat Wyatt

It’s time for Wonder Woman Annual #2. It’s part of the Dark Gods plot that has been going on, but it’s individually titled to Save the Star Sapphires. Last we saw in the main continuity Wonder Woman was about to begin battling the Dark Gods that arrived when suddenly she was pulled away by the Star Sapphires. This isn’t like them, to pull her away from a battle for no reason. So likely they desperately need her help.

Review: Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

This felt like the complete opposite of a first issue, not even the previously on helped. A first issue should have all the information at hand or at least guide a reader into knowing where to read the story that came first. At the end of this comic, it had a handy-dandy guide for Doctor Who comics for the 9th-12th Doctor and a few other Doctors… Not the Seventh. There is no need to have seen the Seventh Doctor’s television run but be advised that reading what is before in the comics is what is needed. Find a guide online and read what is before. If you are prepared to go in for the Doctor be warned, this story has maybe 15 panels of the Doctor in each of the two stories in this comic, combined, with over 50 pages overall for this comic. This is not about the Seventh Doctor but his world, which is poorly executed on both stories.

Review: The Unexpected #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The only good thing that’s come from Dark Night Metal is that there’s a slew of new characters flooding the DC Universe. There’s not much of a chance that all of these new characters will stick around, but I like when DC attempts character creations like this because we might see them later down the road, re-invented and more interesting. After the big “you better own that character” boom of the mid-2000’s creators seemed to stop creating new characters for the big two which left this void of potentially dumb, but awesome characters.
