Review: Dark Ark #2

By Patrick Wolf

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of series that start off with a bang, but then run out of steam as early as issue #2. Cullen Bunn’s second installment of Dark Ark, unfortunately, belongs to this category. While the series began with a captivating premise and an even more entrancing opening, its novelty quickly wore thin once we become accustomed to the ark’s passengers. We’ve gone from a high-concept ‘Noah’s-Ark-for-monsters’ to a mundane ‘find-the-killer-story’ within a span of one issue. Hopefully, the next installment with offer the freshness and excitement we’ve come to expect from a writer like Bunn, but for now, the franchise is teetering the fine line between genius and mediocrity.

Review: Dark Ark #1

By Patrick Wolf

We all know the story of Noah’s ark: Noah rounds up two of every animal, herds them onto his vessel, and keeps them alive until the great flood subsides. But, what if there was another person with the same idea as Noah? And what if, instead of rescuing the animals of the natural world, this person rescued the monsters of the unnatural world? In this dark reimagining of Noah’s ark, Cullen Bunn continues his hot streak of resurrecting old tales and casting a new light on them. So far, this is definitely his best.

Review: Motro vol. 1

There’s a lot of weird shit in Motro that I enjoyed. Things like raising vehicles like pets until they grow up and you can ride them or how old people revert to the size of babies, but still manage to walk around. Weird has never bothered me and usually is a huge draw for me.

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.
