Review: Calexit #1

July 14, 2017

By Daniel Vlasaty

I’m going to do my best to keep my personal politics out of this review. But I feel like whatever side of the political fence you fall on (although I have a feeling most people reading Calexit are going to be more left-leaning) we can all agree that shit’s pretty fucked up in the good ol’ U. S. of A. We have a lot of people having gut reactions mainly out of fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of the future. My daughter was born not long after the election, and there are times when I’m worried about what the state of this country will be when she comes of age. What will this country be like when our kids are adults? But I digress. Calexit is a book that takes the idea of something that’s been discussed at least as long as I’ve been politically active and aware – California seceding from the country – and runs with it.

Review: Godkiller vol. 1

December 3, 2016

By Laramie Martinez

Godkiller Vol.1 takes place in a dark, confusing, post-apocalyptic world where magic and technology collide to make everyone miserable. At least that’s how I’ve come to understand it. From all the hype surrounding this book, the two main points that kept showing up were Uber-violence and hyper sexuality. And while this comic does indeed contain those things you get the feeling that all the “edgy” content is just there to be “edgy”. If you strip away the sex and violence, all you have is a sub-par story with a lot of scatters story arch littered throughout.
