Starborn # 4 – Review

March 7, 2011 | | Comic Reviews

Starborn is a mix between Halo, the Last Star Fighter, The Matrix and as we discover in this issue Eragon. Bejamin Warner was dreaming his life away, writing a sci-fi novel and going nowhere in his boring ten to five desk job, now he is running for his life from the same space aliens he was writing about. In the last issue we ended with Benjamin and Tara Takamoto (Benjamin’s sexy shape shifting bodyguard) caught between the impending forces of the beast men of the Pryde. Unfortunately Benjamin cannot use the gauntlet to escape this time. Still unaware of this, Ben uses the gauntlet only to display a flash of light, this was enough distraction for Tara to make her way among the Pryde. In doing so, Tara gets hurt but not too bad, this leads them right into a group called the witches of Arbor. The witches of Arbor apparently killed Benjamin’s parents. The witches don’t want to use violence to resolved this conflict but as Tara charge against them, they used what looks to be telekinesis or some type of antigravity magic on her.

Geek heaven comes in this package of creativity with a mixture of humor in the second issue of The Li’l Depressed Boy.

ITS CLOBBERING TIME!! This is Thing’s battle cry before going into action. Ah yes, Thing, Marvel’s oldest and one of their most popular monsters.

William Garland is a music God. After years of struggling through all the music industry clichés Will and his band play a sold out show for twenty-two thousand fans at the Staples Center in L.A. A year later Will is practically broke and travels from doctor to doctor to fix his left hand. As a guitarist his left hand is his fret hand and there for his most important of the two. He went from having magic fingers to being dropped by his label and sued by his band mates. Will has literally traveled the world looking for a Doctor that can fix his hand, but it has finally come down to one last experimental doctor that’s willing to take the last of his money to fix him. He meets him in a dark and seedy warehouse where he’s strapped into an apparatus that the “doctor”, one Hargrave Swinthe has created. Hargrave hooks the device up to nine cats and explains to Will the cats have a strong association with the number nine. Nine lives times nine cats equals 81 and eight plus one equals nine. Hargrave then undresses himself to reveal a tribal body tattoo and prepares to be a part of the experiment as well. He flips the switch to the device and electricity shoots through the two men and the cats.

7 Disney Princesses = 7 Deadly Sins

March 6, 2011 | | Comic News

Well there isn’t quite 7 Disney princesses shown, but the Tinkerbell there is an appropriate choice for her sin of Envy. Coming to me via Twitter from user @DeeNuke who found it on Tumbler, which came from DeviantART (isn’t the internet fun!). You can check out artist chill07’s Disney inspired 7 Deadly Sins where you’ll see Jasmine as Wrath, Ariel as Greed, Cinderella as Lust which I found very fitting and a few others that I’m sure you can figure out. If the sins just aren’t your thing you can also check out 7 Virtures with the Dinsey princesses from artist pat7 that was also discovered by @DeeNuke aka Andreea D. Personally I love Chris Hill’s (chil07) art style and after checking out his page I hope to see more from him in the future. His coloring in particular is very good and what really makes the art stand out. So sit back and take in some cool art with everyone’s favorite Disney women.
