Review: Plastic Man #2

By Hunter T. Patrick

Not much of a hero. The last issue summed up the origin of Plastic Man, now we see what type of ‘hero’ he truly is. After the last issue, Plastic Man has become wanted by the police, and he met a boy with whom crossing paths with does not exactly bode well for either of them. Plastic Man realizes he must help this boy with whom when Plastic Man was faced with a vital choice between hero and coward, let’s say hero lost. Eel O’Brian may have been a crook before, but now he is more than a crook… He is almost, kind of, a superhero. He just has to gain confidence, gain courage, and gain, well, grow his heart bigger, which this series shows it’s kind of getting there.

Review: Wonder Woman #50

By Cat Wyatt

Wonder Woman #50 brings with it the conclusion to the Dark Gods plot. The title gives us a foreboding sense of what is to come; ‘A Demigod Must Fall!’ though one can hope they’re being intentionally misleading. Considering what we’ve already seen Wonder Woman come up against though, we have pretty good reason to be concerned.

Review: The New World #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Perfect description is just what Image says, Romeo and Juliet meet Mad Max. Welcome to an alternate future where five major cities are all randomly bombed. No one knows who did it and no one is admitting to it. A second civil war breaks out, and New California reigns supreme. In New California, there exists a reality show all about hunting criminals led by an extreme cop. Against the government comes a contradictory hacker anarchist who substations from any drug (including alcohol) and any meat. Like all good romances, romance ensues after a hook up from these two, and thus the story begins right where the first issue ends. This issue is super-lengthed and serves to introduce all the background needed. Prepare to be immersed.

Review: Superman #1

By Damien Becton

Brian Michael Bendis makes his (official) debut on Superman with this week’s relaunch of the hero’s main title. It has been a long-awaited debut as the past couple of months DC has been promoting this story with “BENDIS IS COMING” ads. Now he's here and paired with Ivan Reis. So, does this issue live up to the hype? For the most part, yeah, it does! It’s everything you would expect from a good Bendis book - and some bad things you would expect.

Review: She Could Fly #1

By Garrett Hanneken

Based on the cover and the title of She Could Fly, I was under the impression that this comic would be another superhero tale involving a new heroine. I have never been so wrong.

Review: My Hero Academia vol. 13-14

By Dustin Cabeal

I seemed to have missed a volume in my reading. If you’ve followed the reviews for this series, you’ll see the gap, but it wasn’t planned. I lost track of where I was and just read. It felt like I had missed something, but not to the point that I was bothered by it… then I realized that I had read volume 14 and not 13… which made me wonder if it really mattered?

Review: City vol. 1

By Thea Srinivasan

While I have not read as many manga as other people, I can say I have read many types of manga.  I can even say that I have read a decent amount of comedy manga. But I can honestly say I have never seen a comedy manga such as the one I’m reviewing. The following manga uses slapstick physical situations similar to Tom & Jerry and may not be suited for young readers. This is the only warning I will give for the following manga.
