Let's Movie - Uncharted

Won't someone crack the code on video game movies and make them as unwatchable as the Marvel movies? Wait, did Uncharted just do that? Well when you have Spider-Man on retainer I guess it's not too hard to slam him into another franchise. Anyway, this movie is everything you'd want from a movie you'd never want to see twice.

Review: Ghost Reaper Girl vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

Someone turns off the power to the containment chamber and now there’s a bunch of ghosts loose in Japan! I wish, but instead we just have a bunch of demon’s that have escaped the bowels of hell and need to be collected and returned to hell. Enter our demon hunter looking for a human host to make himself a better tool for fighting demons!

Then we immediately go to a woman trying to get casted in a leading role by meeting with a creepy producer. Chloe Love introduces herself as TV star with one late night horror show under wings… Ghost Reaper Girl! A high school girl that murders monsters in a swimsuit. Thus begins the running gag of Chloe looking incredibly young and being nearly 30 years old. The producer begins to force himself upon Chloe and I can hear you reader going, “Oh no” and you’d be right but for the wrong reason. A demon pops out of the producer and says, “let me inside your body.” That’s when you should say “Oh no.”

Review: Blood Stained Teeth #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s a lot of vampire books coming out from Image Comics lately. Maybe I’ll like one of them in the future, but Blood Stained Teeth which is a grammar error that I cannot unsee or correct, is not the vampire book for me.

The entire first issue is used to create a situation for the main character to be forced to go through with the plot of the comic. Which does not make it a particularly strong first issue. Especially since it reveals its emotional lynch pin within its pages. You might be wondering to what I’m referring. It’s the plot device that’s been set up with a timer waiting to go off and emotionally manipulated the audience. It’s vampire Pixar moment and it could very well work. Emotional bombs are successful based on the amount of fuse given to them, so if Christian Ward writes a slow burn, it may be successful regardless of the rest of the story.

Review: The Ballad of Ronan #1

By Dustin Cabeal

I’ve never been an orphan, but I cannot imagine that 16 in the age in which you wash out of any orphanage program. If so, we really need to come together with our city leaders and correct this wrong. How do we expect 16-year-olds to go out into the world and support themselves when they’re not even legal adults? And yet our main character has turned 16 and is taking what little money she has to visit her dead mother’s grave and stay at a B&B… after getting a tattoo that she’s not of legal age to get.

Review: Not All Robots #1

By Dustin Cabeal

This is my first comic from AWA. I have little interest in where the company came from and all the backstory. I just know that more comic book companies are a good thing especially as legacy companies continue to be bought by corporate entities. Though I’m fairly certain that AWA is likely owned by a corporation. At any rate, this issue does not make me want to further explore their line of books. That’s fucked up right? Well, that’s how it goes. Every book has the potential to be someone’s first or first book with your company and when you’re a new company every issue potentially decides a reader’s interest in your entire line. That said, I’m not an asshole and will give them further chances, but Not All Robots is a book that I would like to never think about again.

Review: Kaiju No. 8 vol. 2

By Dustin Cabeal

I’m happy to say that the second volume of Kaiju no. 8 continued the entertainment from the first volume. The instantly charming thing about the story is the balance between embarrassing situations that Kafka creates for himself and the bad ass action.
