New Years Even of 2016, New York City, Times Square… sure it sounds great on paper, but not when a maniac shows up and starts slashing people up! Four years and many murders later, two NYPD officers heading up the Maniac Taskforce are on the case. Faced with budget cuts, the mayor's obsession with his new automated train, and general apathy, they try to prevent further destruction in a world that has mostly moved on.

Join hosts Jonah Gregory and Kieran Bennett while they take a deep dive into Maniac of New York volume 1: The Death Train!

Parenting is tough even in the best of times. When the cyberpunk distopia you've been escaping for the last thirteen years suddenly shows up on your door, you might start to wonder how far you'll go to protect your kids. It's a tale as old as time as we review Dryad on this episode of Inks & Issues.

It's the story of a Yakuza who is living at a hotel owned by a luchadore and managed by witches. There are also lots of hitmen, a serial killer, and a group of kid detectives.

Now I know on the surface that sounds like a recipe for some hilarious situations, but be warned, this book falls into some real problematic tropes that we definitely take it to task for hard.

Like most mainstream comics, the character has been rebooted to hell and back, so we decided to pick one of the reboots that is still held in high regard and see if it holds up as a good jumping on point for new readers.

As you know, we here at Inks & Issues love a good crossover. When we heard Planet of the Apes was crossing over with King Kong, It was as if the fates had aligned and all the things that Jonah loves that he has thrust upon his friend and co-host Kieran came together to form a perfect union of primate themed goodness.

Kong on the Planet of the Apes dares to ask what we were all thinking but were too afraid to; What happens when a giant ape is found on a planet where apes evolved from man?! You get a lot of philosophical debate on the nature of life, science, and religion. Also weird hairy raptors that the army wants to tame for use in war, which I'm sure will go just fine.
