Unqualified Comics

Well played Marvel.... well played.

Batman: Knightfall Volume 1 I review this massive TPB of the first part of the Batman: Knightfall storyline from DC Comics. This was a 90's classic so I also go over the background for when this storyline was first published. Also some sequential art at the end! You can get the TPB shown in this video at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Batman-Knightfall-Vol-Doug-Moench/dp/1401233791

Major Grom Artem Gabrelyanov Evgeniy Fedotov Konstantin Tarasov I review this good Russian Noir comic and also fail at inking clothing. You can get the digital issue here: https://www.comixology.com/Major-Grom-1/digital-comic/294491

Gods and Gears Ryan Winn Dean Kotz Wes Locher I go over the Alterna Comics Mini-series "Gods and Gears". Its a great little series that is rated E for everyone. Check it out! https://www.alternaaccess.com/ Check out their Indiegogo Campaign as well! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/alterna-comics-because-you-demanded-it/x/22048482#/

Bleach Chapter 1"Death & Strawberry" Tite Kubo I was getting Nostalgic for some glorious 2000's Manga, so I busted out this awesome 3 in 1 collection of Bleach by Viz. Yes, it's still good. You can get the book shown here at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Bleach-3-1-Vol-vols/dp/1421539926

Exlibrium #1 Natalia Devova Ozich I google search for a popular Russian comic and run into Bubble comics Exlibrium. Like Modern Marvel, very decompressed, YA like elements, and lots of pop culture references. I need to do more research. You can get this issue on comixology: https://www.comixology.com/Exlibrium-1/digital-comic/294481?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC9pdGVtU2xpZGVy Or if you want physical copy you can order directly from Bubbles for the hardcover: http://bubblecomics.com/store/exlibrium-book-one

Thorgal - Child of the Stars Jean Van Hamme Grzegorz Rosinski I return to the world of BDs to hit up another volume of Thorgal. This one is more a collection of short stories but, they are very good and entertaining short stories. You can get the book featured in this video at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Child-Stars-Thorgal-Jean-Hamme/dp/1905460236

The New Mutants #1 Chris Claremont Bob McLeod I go over the first periodical issue of the New Mutants to explain some comic lore regarding Danielle Moonstar (Psyche/Mirage) and Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane). You can get this collected trade paperback at the links below: https://www.amazon.com/X-Men-New-Mutants-Classic-Vol/dp/0785121943 https://www.amazon.com/New-Mutants-Classic-Vol-1983-1991-ebook/dp/B01EZ6RLXS https://www.ebay.com/itm/Marvel-The-New-Mutants-Classic-Volume-1-BRAND-NEW-Claremont-Buscema/402367313480?hash=item5daef5f648:g:eeoAAOSwjipfPBlD

Or watch it on a plane flight or something. Just when I was getting nostalgic for 20th Century Fox after a year of Disney tyranny I watch this turd sandwich. X-men movies still suck. Links for the Real New Mutants: https://www.amazon.com/X-Men-New-Mutants-Classic-Vol/dp/0785121943 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=New+Mutants+Classics&_sacat=0

I finally watch the trailer for The New Mutants movie. It's interesting in more ways than one. We will see what happens tomorrow.

With The New Mutants movie coming out this week decided to talk about my favorite X-men story that leads to the creation of the New Mutants. The Brood first appear in Uncanny X-men #155 but, there is small part of #161 that leads into the storyline. Official storyline run is from #162-166 with a epilogue in 167. You can get Uncanny X-men Omnibus Volume 3 at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Uncanny-X-Men-Omnibus-Vol/dp/0785199225 You can check out my Youtube playlist for The New Mutants below! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFXqXCxcjDB2GqnS6xC8aucicUyQjybg8

The Futurist (Episode 1 & 2) Patrick Stiles Butch Guice Marada The She-Wolf - The Wizard's Masque Chris Claremont John Bolton I rant about the state of modern comic book writing compared to what once was 35 years ago. You can get the Futurist at your local participating Walmart. You can (and should) get Marada The She-Wolf at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Marada-She-Wolf-Chris-Claremont/dp/0857686321

The Savage Human Sunbeam. Pulled from Ethan's stream below: https://youtu.be/0_PInvxlEfM

Cyberfrog #1/#2 (Unfrogettable Tales Reprint) Ethan Van Sciver (Art/Story) Kyle Ritter (Colors) Eric Weathers (Lettering) I get my latest Frog package from Ethan Van Sciver and it is a sweet package. $20 for 2 premium comicbooks, trading cards, sticker, and some fun swag is definitely improving overall value to customer for Comicsgate books. The IGG campaign for this book is over but, EVS will likely post up remaining copies on his Ebay account below: https://www.ebay.com/usr/cyberfrog9

Black and White Volume 1 Art Thibert Taylor Grosso I got Black & White volume 1 by Art Thibert and review it. Great art but, writing needs some work. Check out Art Thibert's youtube channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC47tEPJ2T2gEb8RQj3vJZow

Bass Reeves Kevin Grevioux David Williams While not a "complete" story, this issue of Bass Reeves feels earned after the stellar opening. Some character building and an introduction of a menacing antagonist. You can get this book at your local participating Walmart.

Norah's Saga - Episode 2 Blake Northcott Kelsey Shannon A fun book with a more action than the first and also decent exposition that is unfortunately limited by the storytelling techniques. Also would look nicer with more tighter line art. You can get this book at your local participating Walmart.

What am I fighting for?

Comicsgate is not a hate group. Cancel culture is wrong. Only freedom can enable great storytelling.

Secret Wars #4 Jim Shooter Mike Zeck Continuing with Secret Wars we reach the moment the series really gets silly. We still have some good issues after this but, yeah not one of Jim Shooters finest products. You can get the Trade Paperback shown in this video at the link below: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Wars-Jim-Shooter/dp/0785158685 If you like the video please click the thumbs up.

I was finally able to find the Allegiance Arts 2nd episode books after visiting several Walmarts. I'm starting to get a little worried about the success of these books.

Judge Dredd The Cursed Earth Pat Mills, Brian Bolland, Mike McMahon I get back to 2000AD and Judge Dredd. This is one of the more well known early epics of Judge Dredd and it's a great read though at times a little too heavy on parody. If you are interested in this particular collected volume check out the link below: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1906735999/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_2U2cFb2HAQZSH

Here we go over some 2017 Captain Marvel book which includes little to no action, a lot of talking, and extremely boring art. The great Shinkiro's cover art is completely wasted on this bore fest.

What happens when Capcom needs some hype for a half assed video game from their IP partner Marvel? Marvel puts in equally half assed comic books to match the video game. Welcome to Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite Cringe. Reviewing all the variant cover books that were supposed to "hype" up the video game. Little did Japanese video game developer Capcom realize that nobody reads American comics and also that 2017 Marvel Comics was garbage.

College of the Dead Stefan Petrucha Javier Aranda Adam Post College of the Dead: Graduation Day Stefan Petrucha Javier Aranda Adam Post I sit down and unbox and review College of the Dead & College of the Dead: Graduation Day from Adam Post. Both are fun reads though I do have some criticism of the books. You can still get these books if you are interested, check out the link below! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/college-of-the-dead-graduation-day-comic-book/x/22048482#/
