By Daniel Schwartz To be honest, I did not know what to expect when I read the first few issues of this series. This is the first Mad Cave Studios title that I have read. I usually review more well-known properties such as Doctor Who and Transformers. I thought I would give this new publisher and new series a try. […]
By Steven Seggerman If you never got the chance to play the original Toe Jam and Earl on the Sega Genesis, way back in 1991, don’t worry because most didn’t. It was an odd looking game whose success has always been mixed. That’s not to say it didn’t gain a cult following. For a time it was even one of […]
By Kevin Hoskinson From Lion Forge Comics comes “Haphaven,” a witty, smart and super entertaining book filled with adventure, bravery, and superstition. It’s all packaged in a story that is akin to Alice in Wonderland with its sense of wonder and danger. Learning from her father the superstitions of the world, young Alex Mills is a teenager who does anything […]
By Amie Macias “Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered…” There isn’t a woman around who hasn’t seen Labyrinth, who can’t recite that passage from memory – or truthfully, any fan of the cult classic that won’t recite back with you the lyrics of Magic Dance. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Well, all I can say is you remind me […]
By Myke Fabela Hey guys, Myke Fabela here back with with the latest Myke Drop! This time, we look at Bloodshot Rising Spirit #3 from Valiant Entertainment! Bloodshot is one of my favorite characters in Valiant, give it a listen!
By Steven Seggerman Tyr: Chains of Valhalla is a side-scrolling shooter much like that of Mega Man, except in all the worst ways possible. I want to get this out of the way now; I hated this game. I hated just about everything in regards to this game. If you are a fan of fun, don’t pick this up. I […]
By Myke Fabela Get ready for another Myke Drop! Myke Fabela reviews IDW’s TMNT #91 as the series marches to a landmark #100 issues! Check it out, let us know if you agree or disagree!

All that remains of his fallen comrades from a tragic mission gone wrong. […]
By Kevin Hoskinson It’s the dawn of a new era for Atomic Robo, and it’s up and running with the latest issue in the new series. Issue #1 was a great intro to the series, both serving as a great jumping point for new readers as well as a great continuation for those returning to see the latest adventures of […]
By Nolan P. Smith When it comes to original comics in the past decade or so, you cannot make a list without including The Umbrella Academy from Dark Horse Comics. The off-beat, smart series following a strange retired superteam tasked with saving the world by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba has taken the world by storm, leading to the Netflix […]
By Nolan P. Smith Death isn’t always the end, as years of comic books, movies, novels and more have led us to believe. For Kathrine Sartori, death didn’t mean death; it meant something far more exciting and puzzling: that’s the premise for Dark Horse Comics latest Berger Books release, The Girl in the Bay. From comic book legend J.M. DeMatteis […]
By Steven Seggerman These days side-scrolling, pixel art, hack and slash games are a dime a dozen. To stand out from the crowd, your game needs something genuinely unique. It needs to be beautiful; it needs heart, it needs a robust combat system and a world that, while 2D, feels like it has real depth. This game has all of […]
By Nolan P. Smith Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt is no stranger to the world of comic books. Having first appeared in 1966. Probably most famous for being the inspiration of comic book mastermind and all-around dirtbag Ozymandias from the infamous Watchmen, Thunderbolt hasn’t seeing the light of day for too long. He once stood shoulder to shoulder with the Justice League […]
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 […]
By Mychal Fabela What’s up everybody! Mychal Fabela here, back after a short hiatus, and back with some fight! I’m just saiyan… Check out my newest review of Grandista – Resolution of Soldiers – Son Gohan Figure! and check out some photos below!
By Steven Seggerman As if WWII wasn’t terrible enough, now we have Lovecraftian nightmare fueled Nazis to deal with. 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? Being a fan since my childhood, I had to pick up this one-shot, part of IDW’s 20/20 project. In celebrating their 20th anniversary, they are taking a number of their best selling titles and either thrusting them […]
By Nolan P. Smith This month, we saw the theatrical release of the much anticipated animated feature film, Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The film is set to crack the top 5 at the U.S. box office, showing that the Dargon Ball franchise is more alive than ever. Taking a character that was featured in animated films in the past and […]
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. I knew I was in for a crazy ride when the narrator is an old man wearing a tinfoil hat ranting about invading aliens stealing […]
By Steven Seggerman Sometimes, when picking up a sequel, finding it’s just a little more of the same old thing isn’t always a bad thing. 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 […]
