Review: Art is my Joy
By Thea Srinivasan
I’ve seen several artists showcase their lives in the form of comics. But I’ve never seen anyone make me want to get a dog as much as this artist has done. As a person who has never wanted a pet, I now want a dog to love and to cherish. I think I’ll have to settle for my stuffed animals though.
Review: Hard Wyred #1 & 2
By Thea Srinivasan
If I had to describe one movie that’s similar to this comic, I would choose The Matrix. Both of them talk about uploading someone’s mind to the internet, the belief that A.I programs can have sentience and physics-defying abilities someone can have on the internet. If you haven’t watched the movie series, I’m sorry I spoiled it for you.
Review: Coffin Crushers #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Sometimes when I support Kickstarters, I fall in love with the art before I read what the story is about. In this case, I didn’t pay any attention to what the story for Coffin Crushers was because I thought it was about the two dudes on the cover, and it is not.
That’s a good thing though because I was pleased to find it was about a squad of women in mech suits fighting vampires! This first issue sets the stage as one of the dudes from the cover comes riding in on a badass motorcycle, beats down a mech and takes its power supply. It’s quickly revealed that they’re running out of power supplies for their mechs and without the mech’s the stalemate between the human city and the vampires will come to an end as they’ll be overpowered and crushed.
Review: The Tales of Reverie #1 & 2
By Thea Srinivasan
While the mind is considered the greatest source of creativity, I consider one the greatest tools to create adventures we could never experience in reality. Some of the greatest stories end up becoming dream catchers for some people. But unlike dream catchers, the author chooses what they want their readers to see. When I think about it, books are like dream catchers for the author. With their intent in mind, they create tales that give experiences to other people around the world, regardless of how the story is told.
Review: Little Apple vol. 1
By Thea Srinivasan
Honest children are easy to come by. But blunt children are the rarest of them all. This child has a breadth of knowledge to the point she knows how to blend her knowledge with reality. It’s very rare to see anyone be able to speak the truth with eloquence and be able to open anyone’s eyes to what needs to change. It’s very rare to find a girl who is a revolutionary set against the world.
Review: Chronospire #1
By Dustin Cabeal
My first question with any fantasy story is, “is the fantasy element needed to tell the story?” You’d be surprised how often the answer to this question is a resounding, “No.” That is the case with Chronospire, which is a world full of elves and ogres, but a story that requires neither element to function.
Review: Detropia #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Reviews like this one are the hardest. No one wants to write a bad review for something, and when you’re a site that’s willing to cover indie comics, it’s even harder. You want to see the little guys succeed, but if there’s one thing you can count on from the site, it’s that nothing gets a free pass.
Review: Red Echo #1
By Oliver Gerlach
Red Echo #1, written and drawn by E.S. Brophy, is a sci-fi action book with some pretty great cybernetic panthers and a lot of guns. It’s almost entirely action, with very little breathing space for the characters.
Brophy’s cover is genuinely lovely. It’s a striking red, white and black image reminiscent of David Aja’s cover work, which can never be a bad thing. Genuinely very eye-catching, it immediately makes the book look intriguing and different.
Review: Whisper Wilds #1
By Oliver Gerlach
Whisper Wilds #1, currently funding (very successfully) on Kickstarter, is the brainchild of Brent Nelson and Emanuele Arnaldi. It’s the story of a woman and her dinosaur-like partner attempting to prevent monsters from escaping an extra-dimensional wasteland and slipping into 1940s Australia. If that sounds like a weird premise, don’t worry! It’s very well-handled, and the end result is far more delightful than the simple plot and concept summary might indicate.
Review: Umami #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Umami is one of the most delightful comics I’ve read all year. The storytelling has a strong manga influence, but not so much that a non-manga reader would be turned away from the structure and style. Because it’s embracing both styles though, there is something incredibly pure about it. Something that resonates because it’s a comic, trying to be a comic and nothing more.
