Comic Book Review: The Scale Trade # 2
In the last issue, Agent Tritos was quickly disillusioned on his first outing with Agent Cutter, shedding his innocence in a righteous (or perhaps self-righteous?) bloodbath which left many poachers dead but saved the life of an innocent young dragon. In The Scale Trade # 2 a month has gone by and our DCA agents are still explaining their actions from that night. Now, a new case is dropped in their laps which will lead them along a mystery that could tear their partnership, and perhaps all of the DCA, apart.
Comic Book Review: The Principles of Necromancy # 2
The last issue poured sickly sweet off page after page, grimly tickling our curiosity with increasing intrigue as we saw the Necromancer’s obsession with conquering death propel him to achieve horrific scientific breakthroughs. When last we saw Dr. Eyes, he had just trialed off into the oblivion from whence he came, the devastation he wrought leaving unparalleled heartbreak in his wake. In The Principles of Necromancy # 2 we see him answer the desperate calls for help from a young girl named Eloise McCallister who has been taking care of her mother through worsening illness. Will Dr. Eyes help Eloise’s mother, and if so, what cost will he require as payment?
Comic Book Review: Silicon Bandits # 2
After developing game changing breakthroughs in the field of robotics, Kenji and Aurora created the C-47s, the most advanced androids the world has ever seen, dwarfing anything else on the market. In return for their tireless efforts, their boss, Etan Crane, illegally fired them, knowing that his political clout and vice grip on the legal system ensured he would face no consequences for breaking their lifetime contracts. So Kenji and Aurora agreed to enact revenge by stealing the source of his wealth and power, his supply of the precious material, gallium, thereby ruining him, and making them rich beyond measure in the process. Their secret for success? Four C-47 androids disguised as Aurora’s family, named Graham, Regina, Jade, and Milo. However, with their plan ready to enact, Johnny, a mysterious figure from Kenji’s war days, shows up unexpectedly. We know that Johnny is in trouble, owing a lot of money to violent criminals, with the bill past due. What is unclear is why Kenji is hesitant to be rid of this obvious danger to their plan, especially given Johnny’s unscrupulous nature. What secret from Kenji’s past is he hiding, and how will Johnny’s presence impact their plans?
Comic Book Review: The Principles of Necromancy #1
The Principles of Necromancy #1 from Magma Comics is a love letter to the macabre, with elements of tragedy and body horror battling with intrigue and mystery for narrative supremacy. The elegant visual evolution of the opening panels as a dark clad figure emerges from the snow filled oblivion speaks volumes with just twelve words…
Comic Book Review: Silicon Bandits #1
In a future where androids are so advanced that the law requires them to have translucent skin to differentiate them from humans, and food can be 3D printed, four trillionaires have divided control of the United States among themselves into quadrants, constantly competing for resources and seeking any advantages over their rivals. As humanity evolves, so too does its capacity for violence, and after a fifth world war has left much of the planet desolate, we bear witness to the dangers of unfettered economic contests, and the natural results of creating our own replacements. Welcome to the world of Silicon Bandits from Magma Comics.
Comic Book Review: The Scale Trade #1
Dragons have been a mainstay of our collective imaginations for so long that their ancient existence has permeated out across myriad cultures and mediums. We find tales of dragons going back through the centuries, infusing into our mythology, and interwoven into our fantasy. They command awe, reverence, respect, fear, and above all, a sense of magic and wonder. But what happens to these majestic creatures when they become commonplace, used as chattel, disregarded as trivial, and reduced to tools of production, sources of meat, or worse?
Comic Book Review: Void Rivals #4
Beautifully crafted, Void Rivals #4 adds new dynamics to our protagonists and the complexity of the worlds they occupy. In a story boasting giant transformers, intergalactic mercenaries, ancient species, and so much more, it is incredible that as a reader I am so invested in the lives of two individual characters whose names and races I didn’t even know a few weeks ago
SDCC 2023: Rafael Grampá’s Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham
Award-winning artist Rafeal Grampa is set to turn the Batman legacy completely on its head this September in his brand new Black Label mini series, Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham. I had the opportunity to speak with Rafael Grampa about Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham at 2023 San Diego Comic-Con, and he informed me that this is a much more adult take on the vigilante, which sees him shedding his humanity and untethering himself from the trappings of his billionaire playboy persona to take on the vilest aspects of humanity.
Comic Book Review: Void Rivals #2
The mystery which took months building intrigue is out, and we can safely say we are ecstatic for the shared “Energon Universe”
Comic Book Review: The Rocketeer – In the Den of Thieves # 1
The Rocketeer in the Den of Thieves #1 attempts to reward Cliff, Betty, and Peevey the life they deserve and have earned, but unavoidably pulls them back into the airborne danger. This book teases more than it delivers, but does so to great effect.
