Review: GWAR Orgasmageddon #1
By Levi Remington
Just in case you didn't already know what to expect from a book with a title that merges "orgasm" and "armageddon" – especially when the grotesque and absurd "shock-rock" metal/punk band GWAR is attached – I've got your back as I'm here to review the ridiculously over-the-top first issue to the new miniseries by Matt Miner and GWAR's own Matt Maguire. Funded back in October of 2016 through Kickstarter, this comic serves purely as a love letter to the fans. Featuring characters from the band's mythology like Beefcake, Jizmak, and Balsac (just to give you an idea of what we're working with here), who join the rest of the band in a sci-fi adventure through time and space, encountering plenty of strange foes, spewing loads of bad jokes, and ultimately providing very little entertainment.
Review: The Flintstones #12
By Levi Remington
Never in my life did I think I'd be singing praises for any piece of media connected with The Flintstones license, but here we are. Mark Russell and Steve Pugh have crafted one of DC's finest comics of the past few years – singlehandedly justifying the existence of the Hanna Barbera line. The miniseries closes this week with its twelfth issue, bringing a thematic conclusion that satisfies wholeheartedly.
Review: Dollface #5
By Levi Remington
My first foray into Action Lab Comics began with Dollface, a book that I only started reading very recently. Catching up with the series has been a particularly shallow type of fun. It's an astoundingly easy read (it's almost more tiring to not read the book) and the art is wonderfully stylish, but its nonstop adherence to stereotypical cheesecake and predictably juvenile humor kept the story from reaching any noteworthy heights.
Review: Rapture #1
By Levi Remington
The consistently impressive and ever boundless Matt Kindt, who has fast become an arbiter of the Valiant universe, is teaming up again with artist CAFU for Rapture, a 4-issue standalone event series. The book stars Ninjak and Shadowman as they take to the Deadside with Geomancer Tama and Punk Mambo to defend against an ancient evil that threatens to breach the heavens, bringing cataclysm to Earth. Valiant promises a "Tolkien-esque" journey through the Deadside, making for the publisher's first ever high-fantasy epic. Read ahead for my thoughts on the first issue after I translate the gleeps and glorps
Review: Sun Bakery #3
By Levi Remington
While Papa-Bastard Dustin usually covers this series (#1, #2), he won't be available this week. In the meantime, I've decided to catch up for issue #3 and see what his fuss was about. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you'd be hard pressed to find a fuss more justified. Sun Bakery kicks ass.
Review: Rose #2
By Levi Remington
Rose, a high fantasy series that is teetering a bit too close to the familiar, releases its second issue this week. While my first impressions were favorable towards the art, I was left wanting when the story retread such mundane, overdone territory. Does the second issue expand upon the first in a memorable way? Not exactly, but the art is still excellent.
Review: Eleanor & The Egret #2
By Levi Remington
After a delightfully bizarre first issue, Eleanor & The Egret is back and it's picking up speed. Detective Belanger draws nearer, Ellis the egret's bowels assist in "Operation Daring-Doo," and Anastasia Rue hires a bounty hunter of sickly proportions. Read ahead for my thoughts on this week's issue of a series that is like no other.
Trailer Time: Secret Weapons #1 from Valiant Comics
By Dustin Cabeal
If you want a great review for this new event series from Valiant then you should check out Levi's review for the first issue. Spoiler free and right on the nose.
Review: The Fix #9
By Levi Remington
Two LA cops have gotten themselves in deep with the wrong crowd, and they keep making terrible, selfish decisions which drive them deeper into trouble. This book has a cute dog, plenty of low-brow sex jokes, and a poor representation of women – it just paints an awful picture of humanity in general, really. In this issue we get flashbacks, pool parties, bad dreams, and the notorious Horny Grandma. So begins the third arc of Nick Spencer's The Fix, a book that is often hilarious, offensive, and senseless all at the same time, but only if you're twisted enough to fall for it.
Review: Misfit City #1
By Levi Remington
Misfit City tells the story of four girls stuck living in Cannon Cove, Oregon, the filming location for the infamous children's adventure movie of the 1980s, The Gloomies (a blatant homage to The Goonies). When these girls aren't fending off hoards of Gloomie-loving-tourists, they're tumbling oysters, serving coffee, running the Cannon Cove Film Museum, playing poker with their dog Pippin, or performing noise-punk in their Death Grips x Throwing Muses inspired band. Their small-town lives are uneventful, to say the least. The jury is still out on whether or not these kids actually attend school, though it hardly matters after they inherit a treasure map from the recently-deceased local pirate. Is this the impetus for a meaningful adventure, or yet another misguided attempt to capture youth culture via "randum" humor and hip references? Read ahead to find out!
