C’est Gronk is the random comic review feature at Lost Toast of dubious timing. Much like the title, there is little rhyme or reason to when the reviews show up, or what length they will be. Also, you might contract AIDS. Easy does it.

Invincible Presents: Atom Eve #2 - In which one of the best terrible action lines of the year is uttered - and I quote: “The Good Doc knows full well that treason is the reason for the season, and that season — IS DEATH CHRISTMAS.” Thank you for that, Benito Cereno.

Dead Space #1 - I almost didn’t get this, mainly because of the words “based on the upcoming video game” - but hot damn, am I happy I put myself down for this. As always Johnston delivers a great story, this time with a touch more sci-fi creepiness that is brought about by Wasteland cover artist, Ben Templesmith. Great. Damn. Read. Hug it. Love it. Buy a copy of your own.

The New Dynamix #1 - Been getting into Wildstorm in a big way since Gage was writing Stormwatch - and has subsequently moved towards blowing up the Wildstorm U. The imprint, apparently, hasn’t been doing as well as it used to numbers-wise, but lately, it’s been trying a lot of great, new things - this title being one of them. Taking a bit of old, and a bit of new and mixing it together to make awesome. Well done.

Northlanders #4 - Issue one was good enough, issue two a bit better. But now? Now, this is a book I need to read. It took a bit of doing to get there, but now I can feel all the characters. Soon, comes the time for swift and awesome vengeance. I bet it’s going to be awesome.

Justice League: The New Frontier Special #1 - What would I give to have more stories tell in this universe? I vote, a kneecap. Possibly a spleen. I can live without one of those, right? Right??? Anyway, what the hell does a spleen actually do? And what the shit kind’ve a name is spleen anyway? Some guy named Dewey Spleen probably came up with it, I wager. Though that sounds more like a medical problem than anything else.

Scapled #15 - If I had a penny for every time I killed a bitch on an indian reservation and had my right eye plucked out, I think I would have… a duck. Still, a fantastic read. Any fan of the crime noir genre should at least try out the first trade (a mere $9.99 ‘merican!)
