By Nolan P. Smith Dark Horse always brings out the strange and wondrous, I mean, look at Hellboy and The Umbrella Academy for two perfect examples. With Wyrd, we get a tale that follows a somewhat familiar protagonist down a twisted, funhouse version of a legend. With a description like that, why wouldn’t you pick this up? Spoilers abound. From […]
By Steven Seggerman Originally released back in 2003 on just about everything you can think of. PS2, Xbox, PC, and the Gamecube, Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy was given decent scores all around. Despite this, the game went completely under the radar for most people. Now it’s 2019, and it’s been ported once again. This time to the Nintendo Switch. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson From S.M. Vidaurri, Iron or the War After is a tale of espionage, set against the backdrop of a land torn apart by war. Its characters are anamorphic animals, but don’t let that fool you. This book is more in line with “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” than it is “The Wind in the Willows.” The story is […]
By Steven Seggerman Before we begin: Minor spoilers ahead! Life is Strange is a series near and dear to my heart. No one can tell a story quite like DONTNOD, and the second season looks to be just as promising as the first. DONTNOD manages to make our boring, mundane world feel magical, and I’m not just talking about the […]

You’ll take charge of a small group on a quiet stroll through the Forrest of Fear, killing evil incarnate along the way. Heavily inspired by games like X-com, Achtung is a tactical shooter that manages to bring a few new mechanics […]
By Kevin Hoskinson In what feels like a 90s throwback indie movie, “Jobe’z World” is a diversion from the modern era of big budget blockbusters. Set in New York City (Planet Earth) throughout one night, it’s a trippy, chaotic, comedic thriller that feels like it could be something more, but doesn’t quite hit the mark. Jobe (Jason Grisell) is a […]
By Steven Seggerman A long thought dead master thief, The Raven, has resurfaced and is out to steal the world’s greatest treasures. It’s up to Swiss Constable Anton Zellner to stop him using his top-notch detective skills. He isn’t an inspector tough, hasn’t even seen a murder scene before. In fact, you’ll spend most of the game feeling like a […]
By Nolan P. Smith Again, this was not on my review list this week, but seeing a book called Shredder in Hell just called for me to pick it up. It seems the greatest nemesis to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles met his grisly end years ago, decapitated after a hard-fought battle. But you can’t keep a good villain down, […]
By Nolan P. Smith This book wasn’t on my list to review, but how could I turn away the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

In celebrating their 20th anniversary, they are taking a number of their best selling titles and either thrusting them […]

By Nolan P. Smith With the Netflix original film debuting on January 25th, I figured now would be a great time to check out and review the three Polar volumes, available at your local comic shops, bookstores and the Dark Horse Comics app. Being a big fan of Victor Santos’ work, I am surprised at myself that it has taken […]
By Steven Seggerman The post-apocalyptic backdrop feels a little overused by this point, but The Bearded Ladies team managed to teach an old duck new tricks. Humans have done it again, we went and messed up the world with nuclear war. Now it’s up to mutant stalkers to scavenge a living from the ruins and survive this crazy new world. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson By now, we are all familiar with the legend of King Arthur. The story of King Arthur, Excalibur and the Knights of the Round Table has been retold time and time again on the big screen. The most recent retelling of the story, 20th Century Fox’s “The Kid Who Would Be King,” is a modern take on […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Having been around since 2007, the latest mini-series in the Atomic Robo series is off to a promising start. The series follows protagonist Atomic Robo. He is a robot that possesses “automatic intelligence,” and was created by a fictionalized Nikola Tesla. He is extremely self-aware of the world around him and knows exactly what he is. Throughout […]
By Steven Seggerman If you’re a fan of coffee, metal, and classic arcade-style games like Streets of Rage, you may find a lot to enjoy with Mega Cat Studios multiplayer beat ‘em up: Coffee Crisis.

This couldn’t be more true with the newest addition in everyone’s favorite rat splattering escapade. The team is back, and with more witty banter than you can shake a pyromancer’s flame staff at! For those […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Sometimes, you open a new book and instantly know that it’s going to be unlike anything you have ever seen before. Everything seems new and fresh, from the artwork to the setting. This was the case when I started to read the first issue in the new volume of Scrimshaw. Set in the far future, the world […]
By Jason T. Smith The Transformers franchise doesn’t have the best reputation when it comes to live action flicks. The critically panned Michael Bay series of films abandoned the heart of the robots in disguise from the days of animated series and comic books and went with a loud, soulless series of films with the Transformers named attached to it. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Disney had a lot to live up to when it was announced that the studio was moving forward to a sequel to their classic 1964 film “Mary Poppins”. It’s almost reasonably certain that the pressure was on for the studio, and everything had to be perfect. The casting, music and pure magic that made the first one […]
By Nolan P. Smith DC Comics hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to their cinematic universe. From the confused Batman V Superman to the storied history behind the Justice League film, it has been hard to get their world started. Wonder Woman was amazing, so Aquaman had some high expectations to meet. How did one of the most […]

Smith In the debut issue of Vault Comics’ Friendo, we met Leopold, a down on his luck actor with a not so down on her luck girlfriend who buys Leo an expensive pair of smart glasses, Friendo.
