Review: Rat City #1

By Dustin Cabeal 

It has been a long while since I have read a Spawn comic book. I find it infinitely interesting that it is still being published monthly, probably as one of the most consistently published monthly books from Image in general but also from a founder of image. That sheer fact alone makes it an anomaly in comic books as every other creator that founded Image or has moved on from the publisher or is almost incapable of producing a monthly comic book. Eric Larsen is possibly the only other person, but even then, the irregularities of the scheduling of Savage Dragon and its spin-offs makes Spawn a standout and now in 2024. It seems Spawn is expanding its universe; it is becoming More than just Spawn and a few miniseries. I have noticed increasingly that I am seeing different titles related to Spawn, but Rat City caught my attention more than the others.

Cybernetic Spawn is not anything new to the Spawn Universe. I think it actually exists in some form in the action figures first and foremost, but it is relatively new to have an ongoing series about a cybernetic-esque Spawn. Rat City is just a catchy, grungy futuristic name. I mean, no one thinks of rats and goes, that's pleasant. Rat City gives you this futuristic Judge Dread-esque, grimy city to deal with which is a perfect fitting for Spawn and a Spawn spin-off book.

Review: Crave Vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal 

It has been a long time since I've read a book like Crave. I finished the trade paperback of what I assume will be the first volume in one sitting. There's something to be said about a story that entices you to continue reading and not just due to the dynamic visuals of the overly beautiful people that populate the story. Rather because of the pacing and content of the story itself.

While Crave’s story is not incredibly deep it does have a wonderful pacing to it. On its surface, it is a story about social media. The anxieties presented by knowing too much and what Big Data corporations do with our information and what could be done with that information and the harrowing realities of testing that on the populace. Now, that all sounds very, very deep, but since the story is limited to essentially one day of this world or maybe two at the most It is rather fast paced and doesn't take too much time to stop and think about these deeper ideas that it presents. Instead, that's left to the audience to think about in the aftermath of the story. Which is still interesting. It's still a good way to present that information. Food for thought rather than here is my opinion. You get the sense that the creator, Maria Llovet, is not looking to explicitly, tell you about their opinion on all this.

Let's Movie - Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom

We're back! The holiday's wrecked us and let's be honest the movies stuck like a fish out of water. Speaking of stinky movies, we're going to talk about Aquaman 2: Birth of Aqualad or whatever the fuck this movie is called. It's the end of the old DCEU or the DCU... DC Comics really shitty movie line because they let Zack Snyder make too many music videos and pissed away all their potential. Attach your snorkel tightly and get ready for the golden showers that is Aquaman 2: The Deuce is Loose!
