Hack/Slash #2 – Advanced Review

March 15, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

I’ve never actually read a Hack/Slash comic before this one that I am reviewing. After avidly researching as much as I could and reading blurbs on the back of trades, I found out this is basically about a psychopath who kills other psychopaths, to put it bluntly. I thought that was pretty cool and on top of that on the inside of the cover it reads, “…a must-read for fans of horror, quirky characters or just plain hot chicks killin’ stuff. Luckily, there’s never been a better time to jump on board than right now” by IGN. I just thought “sweet.” Cassie and her little team hunt down people known as slashers, which is typically what you would find in a slasher movie (really?). What is revealed at the beginning of this issue is that a slasher known as Acid Angel has come back after being killed, only to have learned that this is her second time being revived. Slashers always come back, right? Anyway, there is a conflict with both Cassie and her monstrous partner Vlad. At the same time a girl known as Cat Curio is in a forest that is filled with zombie animals. A man with a pumpkin face grabs her but Cat stabs him in the eye with a knife.

Moon Knight: The Bottom

March 15, 2011 | | Comic Features

I had just gotten a job and was always interested in comics and I absolutely loved the 90’s cartoons based off of comic characters. There was the X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman just to name a few. Anyways I walked into this comic shop that my mate works at and I spent almost three hours browsing amongst Marvel, DC and all the various others. Even though there were all these characters I already knew about, this one volume kept calling to me, Moon Knight: The Bottom, a guy I had never heard about but decided to buy that instead of anything else and it is something I definitely will never regret. Straight out I realized this guy was a nutjob. Marc Spector had alienated himself from his friends. He had broken and weak legs and kept seeing this apparition that may or may not have been an Ancient Egyptian God, whom he may or may not believe in. The God was claiming to be Khonshu, God of Vengeance and of the Moon.

My Start With Comics

March 15, 2011 | | Comic Features

My first comic, I think it was Iron Man; the first appearience of War Machine. The cover was of War Machine with all his weapons ready to fire and the title was scratched and War Machine was written all over. Then again it might have been a Spectacular Spider-man… Either way none of them lasted my furious childhood. I think I draw on them or something… After that I remember picking up a Fright Night comic in a supermarket. Like before… this one did not escaped my furious childhood. But from that last one I started drawing from it, instead of drawing on it. A bit later I picked a copy of Batman versus Predator number one. It was my first number one issue and I felt proud of that. This book was so cool that I kept re-reading it every five minutes, until I wore it down but sadly… it did not escaped the wrath of mom! In my teen years, I collected a couple of X-Men comics and discover the joy of collecting. I collected a lot of crap. I did not have any ground breaking run and the two or four titles became twenty almost forty.

Savage Beauty a Critical Darling

March 14, 2011 | | Comic News

It’s not often that I get quoted for a review. Sometimes our site is just under the radar that we get bumped in favor of CBR or Newsarama with their generic MIND BLOWING reviews. Well this time we win out for being quoted by Moonstone Books for Savage Beauty #1. You can also see what others are saying about the book on the quote sheet and then maybe you’ll get the point that we’re not blowing smoke on this book and you should pick it up. Moonstone Entertainment, Inc., Captain Action Enterprises, and Runemaster Studios, the forces behind Moonstone’s latest comic title SAVAGE BEAUTY, have been saying for months just how spectacular this new series would be. An updating of the Jungle Girl genre tale, SAVAGE BEAUTY uses two very strong female leads to not only introduce pulp like heroics into the jungles of today’s world, but also tackles real life issues. The comic is a tool of vital partnership between its creators and agencies and organizations dedicated to making life better and even saving lives in Kenya, Africa, and other ravaged lands. Moonstone, CAE, and Runemaster have been shouting the praises of SAVAGE BEAUTY and rightfully so.
