Review: The Wild Storm #6

By Dustin Cabeal

By now, you’re all tired of me talking about this book. I promise not to say, “I swear this book doesn’t need my review” this time around. It will be short and sweet because hey, it’s the end of the first arc and it’s chalk full of good stuff!

Review: The Wild Storm #5

By Dustin Cabeal

The Wild Storm always feels as if it’s going to a commercial break when the issue ends. I sit there just expecting more, realizing eventually that another month will need to pass in order for that to happen. Granted this all happens in seconds while I’m reading, but it still happens. I have the strong feeling that when The Wild Storm is collected, it’s going to be a tremendous continuous read, one that I will look forward to digesting again.

Review: The Wild Storm #4

By Dustin Cabeal

I’m just going to say it, I read Warren Ellis’ newsletter, and I know there’s going to be some kind of delay after this first six issues. That sucks, but hey, that’s comics I guess. At any rate, I noticed something about this issue of The Wild Storm; it’s mostly talking. It’s cool fucking talking, but that is in fact what it is… cool fucking talking. Don’t get me wrong; I love it. Like, I really fucking love it. All the future talk and amazing possibilities that don’t feel that far off from what we can actually accomplish, I love it.

Review: The Wild Storm #3

By Dustin Cabeal

I will say that The Wild Storm makes me painfully aware of my ignorance of the characters. For instance, I have no idea who the woman on the cover is, but I want to be her best friend. She can walk through TV people! How fucking cool is that!?! Seriously though we begin with her walking through screens, all connecting and relating like instant teleportation and at the end its revealed that she’s keeping tabs secretly on the three different groups that were introduced to us thus far and if you pay close attention… some other cool shit.

Review: The Wild Storm #2

By Dustin Cabeal

I almost feel silly reviewing The Wild Storm, because it’s that fucking good. It really doesn’t need me singing its praises, but just in case there’s some blind idiot out there with a keyboard thinking of making some weird shit name for themselves by tanking the review, here I am.

Review: The Wild Storm #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There has been a WildStorm shaped hole in my heart since the imprint started pushing out turds and was eventually shut done in favor of a shared universe of all of DC’s properties, which became the New 52. Sure, there were WildStorm characters, and sure, they were pretty interesting to see in the DCU, but it just wasn’t WildStorm.

Preview: The Wild Storm #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Well... I just shit my pants a little. I know everyone and their mother had this yesterday and probably bored you with a regurgitation of Warren Ellis' newsletter. I'm not a news site. Not going to pretend I'm breaking this to you. I just post stuff I enjoy or when I have a comment on something. Here's my comment for this... god damn beautiful. I hope the story is good. It's Ellis. It's WildStorm... it should be good. I actually found an old WildStorm button I had gotten at SDCC... it made me sad that there's not more of it around. Still, can't wait until February 15th for this. Oh and I don't actually care about the variants, but I will likely pick this up in print.

The Best 6 Things I Stared at in 2016

By Patrick Larose

2016 was a year largely characterized by loss. Whether that loss be felt personally, culturally or politically, there's an overwhelming sense that the good guys are thinning out and the bad are encroaching closer every second.

2016 was also the year I started writing for Comic Bastards. The year I got to start writing about one of my favorite mediums on the Internet. For the first time I got engage and keep up with modern comics from the big and small publishers and, despite being a long-time comic fan, that was a completely different experience.

Warren Ellis Reveals Jon Davis-Hunt's The Wild Storm Art

By Dustin Cabeal

If you're into comics and you like Warren Ellis, then you probably already subscribe to http://orbitaloperations.com/ which is his weekly newsletter. If you don't, then you missed the gem below. He also cleared up the DC's imprint WildStorm is actually called "The Wild Storm." I actually found that to be just as interesting as the artwork by Jon Davis-Hunt. Also, fuck, that art is great!

CBFMP 255: Even I Have My Limits

By Dustin Cabeal

It's NYCC time, which used to be a happy time... now it's just a con I used to know (fuck you Justin for getting that song stuck in my head forever!). How are you? I ask that because that's how Warren Ellis writes his newsletters and he's in charge of WildStorm now! That's at the end, though, we start with Power Rangers and Logan. Lion Forge makes big moves and there's other actual comic news to come from NYCC. I know. Comic news on a comic podcast, what will we think of next?
