Review: Regular Show... 25 Years Later! #1 Review

By Damien Becton

Regular Show is known for its crazy and extremely far-fetched comedy plots that contradict its title. A show (now a comic) that stars a talking raccoon (not Rocket), a talking blue jay, with a talking gumball machine, and living lollipop should be expected to have ridiculous stories to accompany it. This comic adds another element to the ridiculousness by setting the current story 25 years into the future where Mordecai and Rigby have started families and are parents and husbands. I’ll say this - if you’re unfamiliar with the cartoon and what I just described sounds entirely too stupid to enjoy, don’t even think about getting this book. If you’re a fan of the original, you’ll know what to expect and probably get a kick out of it.

Review: Stowaway To The Stars

By Dan Traeger

Oh, John Byrne, I just can’t quit you. Try as I might, I admit it; I'll never leave your side. Back in the 1970s when you were working for Charlton Comics, I started following your career. You were the best artist on Space 1999, and I loved Doomsday +1. I followed you to Iron Fist at Marvel, and there you stayed for many years. Your tenures on The Uncanny X-Men and The Fantastic Four reset the bar higher than it had been since the days of Kirby and Lee.

Review: Shadowman #4

By Damien Becton

For the past three issues, Shadowman’s writer, Andy Diggle, has been able to tell a compelling story with great art assisting it. Issue number four starts a new arc that has Jack Boniface witnessing and discovering the previous Shadowmen - this one taking place in 40’s in the midst of World War II. With (mostly) a new artist taking over the penciling duties for this arc, Shadowman continues the trend of effective and action-packed storytelling with another solid issue in this iteration of the character.

Review: Ice Cream Man Volume 1: Rainbow Sprinkles

By Hunter T. Patrick

What a feel-good time for everyone but the characters. Ice Cream Man is an anthology series. Each issue is its own one-shot, all being connected by the titular Ice Cream Man. This volume features four different issues and four different stories. Music, drugs, and various other main themes become present. Nothing is scarier than humanity. This is horror, pure delicious horror. The scares are all brief in the pages, but like all good horror, the more thought in this psychological terror, the more fear, and despair that will come to the reader. The horror sticks with you for the four different plots, each different than the last. If you want anything from trouble with couples to trouble with the self and isolation, go on and give it a try. Everything is sprinkled, delicious, terrifying sprinkles.
