Ice Cream Man #5 Image Comics Writer: W. Maxwell Prince Artist: Martin Morazzo One of the great things about the Ice Cream Man series is that they are self-contained and each issue is a one-shot. The premier issue was extremely promising and gave us readers hope of some fascinatingly morose stories. Instead, every issue since #1 has been trying to get back to that magic that writer W. Maxwell Prince created, with one issue being an all-out flop. Prince has shown us that he is more than capable of writing a top-notch short. He has been good with dialogue…

How It Ends Director: David M. Rosenthal Starring: Theo James, Kat Graham, Forest Whitaker, Kerry Bishé, Nicole Ari Parker, and Grace Dove Rating: TV-MA (R) Runtime: 113 minutes This is my second review of a Netflix movie on this site. Both films were highly advertised by Netflix. I will say that I am a fan of Netflix and what they are doing and how they are changing the game. They are dumping money into TV and Film and while they miss more than they hit, the entire idea is solid and when they hit, they usually hit very hard…

Die!Die!Die! #1 Image Comics Writer: Robert Kirkman & Scott M. Gimple Artist: Chris Burnham Die!Die!Die! was meant to be an airdrop comic that no one knew was coming. Kirkman stated he wanted this to happen to keep the element of surprise that he had as a kid walking into a comic shop. The feeling of not knowing what was coming or what the covers would look like. He succeeded in his plan and here we are reviewing this secret comic without knowing anything about it. So let’s delve in together. Die!Die!Die! is the bubblegum action flick from the ‘80s…

Oblivion Song #5 Image Comics Writer: Robert Kirkman Artist: Lorenzo De Felici Oblivion Song has had quite the four issues to lead up to this one, so sit down and let me catch you up. Careful…this is spoiler territory. Deep breath… We are introduced to Nathan Cole, a man who crosses over into another dimension and brings people back to the current one. There was an event 10 years ago that caused 300,000 people to go missing in the Philadelphia area. These people turned out to be in another dimension called “Oblivion”. Oblivion is full of monsters and post-apocalyptic…

Isola #4 Image Comics Writer: Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl Artist: Karl Kerschl and MSassyK Isola is an incredibly unique comic book. It started as a Prologue that was only found in the back pages of Motor Crush issues 1-5. For readers who missed the Prologue, fear not, here’s what you missed. Queen Olwyn rules the city of Maar until Asher, her brother, invites an outsider named Bastion who represents the city of Palagrine Rock. Asher invited Bastion under the false pretense that Olwyn would join him in a ”union”. The Queen refuses this offer and later finds Fallst,…

Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 Marvel Comics Writer: Donny Cates Artist: Dylan Burnett Word has been out for a while now about Cosmic Ghost Rider and his adventures; his deals he has made. The guy literally “wheeled and dealed” his way around the galaxy until he was finally struck down by the Mad Titan. Make no mistake. Frank Castle went through Hell to get here. Was it worth the trip? The pages on display in this review briefly show the scenes of everything it took for Frank Castle to get here. Pretty succinct, huh? I thought so. At the end of Thanos…

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #1 Dynamite Entertainment Writer: David Avallone Artist: Dave Acosta Any horror fan that has been around in the last 40 years knows who Elvira is. Her name is synonymous with midnight horror features and delicious B-movie schlock. Elvira has become a brand and she is no stranger to the comic book world, but now she is being brought to us by Dynamite. Let’s see if her new outing is worth your time. In Issue #1, Elvira is introduced as an actor on a movie set. Between a take, she goes into her trailer and discovers a coffin that…

Jeepers Creepers #3 Dynamite Entertainment Writer: Marc Andreyko Artist: Kewber Baal I think most of us are familiar with this series via the movie franchise under MGM. I was one of the people who was excited to see the first movie in theaters and really enjoyed it. We won’t discuss the sequels since the quality just fell off after the first film. Now, Dynamite has brought us more of the Creeper in a format we all love: COMICS! If you missed the first two issues, let me catch you up. Devon is writing his thesis on the Aztec mythology of the Creeper.…

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation Director: Genndy Tartakovsky Starring: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Fran Drescher, Mel Brooks, Selena Gomez, Kathryn Hahn, David Spade, Steve Buscemi, Keegan-Michael Key, Kevin James Rating: PG Runtime: 97 minutes I know that many of us have Adam Sandler fatigue. It has been a known illness for many years now. That being said, I was a fan of the first two Hotel Transylvania films. They weren’t Pixar level, but they were entertaining for adults and kids alike. Unfortunately, the third film can’t reach high the bar set by the first two. The film’s open introduces…

Tau Director: Federico D’Alessandro Starring: Maika Monroe, Ed Skrein, Gary Oldman Rating: R Runtime: 97 minutes  Netflix has had their share of amazing films (Okja, Beasts of No Nation) and its share of flops (looking at you Open House). There is plenty of original content that ranks between these, but I am happy to say that Tau is closer to the top than the bottom.  Julia, played by Maika Monroe (It Follows), is a basic pickpocket that uses her looks to entertain men while she steals anything they have of value on their person. Quickly and swiftly Julia is…
