Published: 2019Written by: Chuck Dixon, Benjamin L. Henderson, Mike BaronArt by: Jimbo Salgado, Bryan Arfel Magnaye, Eric WeathersCautionary Comics, 36 PagesReview:Ravage – Kill All Men!! Is one of the first comic book projects that I backed on Indiegogo, a few years ago. I was excited to get my hands on it, as I’m a fan of Chuck Dixon and Mike Baron’s work and because the art looked great from the sample pages I saw.Unfortunately, there were problems with the physical copies I ordered and after a lot of back and forth with the publisher and emails about the book being on its way to me, I never actually got it. I did get a refund and a digital copy but I really wanted to own the physical copy and never got one in my hands.I downloaded the digital file and had it on my computer for awhile before reading this. I realized that I hadn’t reviewed it, so I decided to give it a re-read to freshen my memory and give it a proper critique.Overall, this was fun and Dixon’s writing reminded me of his G.I. Joe work, as he conveyed great camaraderie between the two main characters and also gave us a tale of high adventure in a beautiful and exotic setting.
Plus, his ability to write action has always been top notch and this just has a good flow and a good balance between developing the characters and setting up the story.This really is just a single issue, though, so it ends very abruptly without any real conclusion. I’m not sure how many issues this was going to stretch over but based off of everything at Cautionary Comics kind of falling apart, as several others didn’t get their comic as well, I’m not even sure if this is going to continue on or if this is it for the story.If more came out, I wouldn’t back them based off of my experience with this campaign.
While I did get a refund, I didn’t back it to keep my money; I backed it to support the campaign, the comic, the creators and this new company, who looked to be putting out some cool stuff.I’d like to be able to finish the story and review it as a total body of work but the future of Ravage doesn’t look good. If I did get a future release, at this point, I’d rather just get the whole story in a larger trade paperback.Rating: 7/10Pairs well with: other adventure comics that emphasize sex appeal like Jungle Comics. Published: 2010Written by: Jim RuggArt by: Jim RuggBased on: characters by David MorrellJim Rugg Art, 32 PagesReview:I’ve wanted to read this since finding out about it on one of Cartoonist Kayfabe’s videos. And since I already own and read three bootleg comics about Sylvester Stallone’s Cobra, I figured that I’d enjoy this too.Unfortunately, I don’t own this, yet.
But Jim Rugg does have it up to read on his website for those that want to give it a read.The story tries to answer the question about how John Rambo might have handled the events of 9/11, especially after he helped the Afghan rebels in Rambo III.The comic focuses on George W. Bush and John Rambo, as the two form a bond and team up to fight the terrorists. There is a plot twist, however, but I won’t ruin it.Overall, the comic was amusing and I enjoyed it. It’s pretty cheeky towards Bush and his handling of the situation but I’m not a snowflake and I’m pretty indifferent to the guy, anyway.Some may like this, some may not. I tend to gravitate to bootleg and outlaw comics, especially unofficial sequels to movies I’m a fan of.Rating: 6.5/10Pairs well with: the Cobra II comics from Teddy Goldenberg.
Neon drive thru sign. Published: April 30th, 2014Written by: Luke LiebermanArt by: Milton EstevamBased on: Red Sonya by Robert E. Howard, Red Sonja by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-SmithDynamite Entertainment, 248 PagesReview:This is it! The grand finale of the Queen Sonja series and also, the beefiest volume of the lot.This probably should have been broken out into two volumes though, as it covers two different main story arcs.However, out of the volumes written by Luke Lieberman in the Queen Sonja series, this is my favorite of the lot. Although, I don’t like it as much as the volumes written by Arvid Nelson, because those seemed to have more energy and were just more exciting, overall. Granted, he had the benefit of using Thulsa Doom in one of his stories.This brings everything to a close though, as events happen to bring peace throughout the larger empire.
There are those that don’t want to unify under Sonja’s rule and that is the main focus of the larger story here. However, Sonja also steps down as Queen/Emperor after leaving multiple kingdoms in what she feels is, the right hands.Ultimately, this brings the story full circle, ends on a fairly high note and also brings Sonja back to where she started, as a nomadic warrior fighting for truth, justice and the Hyrkanian way.The Queen Sonja series was pretty enjoyable from start to finish, as even the lowest points were still engaging and helped propel the story forward. I feel as if it may have been cut short due to Dynamite feeling a need to do a soft reboot once they brought in Gail Simone to write the character, which immediately followed this series.Rating: 7.5/10Pairs well with: other older Red Sonja comics from Dynamite. Published: 2020Written by: Teddy GoldenbergArt by: Teddy GoldenbergBased on: Cobra by Sylvester Stallone, Cannon FilmsTeddy Goldenberg Comics, 48 PagesReview:I love Sly Stallone’s Cobra and even though it’s never officially gotten a sequel, that didn’t stop Teddy Goldenberg from giving us the next best thing.Since I really dug the first part of the story, as soon as this second and final part came out, I had to grab it from Goldenberg’s website. You can do that too by going.Overall, this one is also a lot of fun, as well as being gritty, utterly awesome and taking that ’80s action movie formula and upping the ante in a crazy and great way.It’s like a Cannon Films action flick on steroids but this chapter in the series gets real f’n trippy, as Marion Cobretti gets closer to solving the crime and confronting his own dastardly father, who has a striking resemblance to Christopher Walken.I love this indie outlaw, bootleg stuff and this is one of the best out there.
I like the first part a bit more but this concludes the story in a cool and unpredictable way and frankly, it just makes me want to see what else Goldenberg could do with unofficial sequels to other similar films. Or hell, just give us a Cobra III because Marion Cobretti needs to live on forever.Rating: 7/10Pairs well with: the first part of this story, as well as the bootleg Hungarian Cobra comic book I recently reviewed. Published: February, 2020Written by: Scott Lobdell, Blake NorthcottArt by: John UpchurchNorthworld Publishing, 48 PagesReview:I backed this campaign on Indiegogo several months back and I was really excited to finally get my copy of the graphic novel.For one, I love slasher movies. I also live and grew up on the edge of the Florida Everglades. So combining those two things is a win/win for me.Additionally, this was written by Scott Lobdell, a writer I’ve liked for years, and Blake Northcott, a mutual follower on Twitter, who has a great personality, a solid perspective on how to manage her social media, and most importantly, a stupendous track record.That being said, I really liked this quite a bit.The characters were all cool and well developed in the minimal space they had to live and breathe. I also liked the backstory for the villains.The art is also really good and for a crowdfunded book, this truly is in the upper echelon of comics I’ve seen.
It’s actually better than most of the mainstream comics coming out in 2020. I especially like the colors and overall visual aesthetic of the book.There’s not much else I can say without spoiling too much and I’d rather people go out and pick this up, assuming they still can somewhere.I’m not sure if any follow ups are planned but I’d probably support a sequel.Rating: 7.5/10Pairs well with: other horror/slasher comics.
It really reminded me of Hack/Slash stories. Published: September, 2019Written by: Ethan Van SciverArt by: Ethan Van Sciver, Kyle RitterAll Caps Comics, 20 PagesReview:I really dug Cyberfrog: Bloodhoney and I also thought that the Cyberfrog 1998 ashcan was well done, if not slightly better in how it bridged a long gap and showed an improvement in overall storytelling. So I obviously went into this second ashcan with great enthusiasm.Out of the three modern Cyberfrog releases, thus far, this one was my least favorite. That being said, it’s still really damn good and it’s still pretty consistent with the vibe, style and quality of the other two.This one is kind of a side story from back in the day, before Cyberfrog went into a multiple decades hibernation. It follows him and his bestie, Heather Swain, before shit really hits the fan with the alien invasion that wrecked the planet.In this short, one-off story, Cyberfrog has an evil nun impostor stuck to his shoulder blades. What follows is a series of comedic events, as he attempts to get the corpse off of him.I like Ethan Van Sciver’s humor and it really shines here. In fact, that’s something that this book does better than the others.Furthermore, Van Sciver once again shows why he is one of the best comic book artists of our time, as this just looks incredible, visually.
I also have to give credit to colorist Kyle Ritter, who only gets better and better with every project he works on. I’m really looking forward to his Starblades comic book.Cyberfrog: Amphibionix was a blast! While I am eager to continue on in the main story, as new installments come out, I hope that Van Sciver does find time to throw in some one-off stories like this one. Plus, I’m kind of a junkie for ashcans and mini-comics.Rating: 8/10Pairs well with: Ethan’s Green Lantern and Flash stuff, as well as the original Cyberfrog run at Harris Comics. Post navigation.
