Review: Scared by the Bell #1
By Thea Srinivasan
Scared by the Bell has brought up a lot of nostalgic memories from my middle school years. I remembered trying to fit in with my classmates, going through puberty, feeling like an outsider and navigating the multiple classes at my school. But I don’t think I’ve ever had a werewolf or a vampire in my class. If that were the case, every teenage girl would be swooning over them as if they were the next teen hunk to lead them into an epic romance.
Review: Freelance #2
By Cat Wyatt
The last issue of Freelance left us with the rift still open, and Lance and the Mayor in danger of the rift (remember; the Mayor got sucked into it, while Lance jumped in after him in a daring but stupid rescue mission). Our intro gives us a brief glimpse into how the world looks on the other side of the rift – and I have a feeling that’s just the first taste of it.
Review: Adventures in Science
By Cat Wyatt
Adventures in Science is a collection of short stories told in graphic novel form. I’ll admit I was honestly surprised by how many stories they managed to fit into this one collection. It includes Time on Ice, Blood on Your Hands, 51st Century Blues, Vita Extensum, 14 Arms to Hold You, Holiday of a Lifetime, Campaign 2079, No Signal, Not for Turning, No More Secrets, Next Customer Please, Eye in the Sky, and Deadly Skies (see, I told you there was a lot!).
Review: Oblivion Song #1
By Dustin Cabeal
By no means does Robert Kirkman need my praise. I’m not going to pat him on the back for still making comics and all that noise. He’s a writer I’ve drifted away from because his style has developed into a steady rhythm. It’s not bad, it's just not amazing either. It’s consistent, but you tend to know what you’re getting with your characters and just waiting for the twists to happen.
Review: Ghost Money #7
By Dustin Cabeal
As I said in this week’s podcast, this was my first encounter with Ghost Money. Which sucks because it only has three more issues. Had I discovered it sooner, you would likely have been reading my seventh review of the series, instead of the first.
Review: Skybourne #5
By Dustin Cabeal
The problem with reviewing Skybourne is that for some people they’re going to take it as me reviewing Frank Cho himself. Which is unfortunate because I just want to make jokes about how this comic was never that good, to begin with, and that if you were waiting for this issue, you’re probably surprised that it arrived in 2018 instead of 2020.
Review: Justice League of America #24
By Jonathan Edwards
With Justice League of America #22, Steve Orlando rose to the occasion and finally wrote what I would call the first truly decent issue of his run on the series proper (meaning not including the prequel one-shots). Sure, issue #17 ended with some legitimate character development for Ryan, but that was in spite of the first half, as well as every other issue in that story arc, being crappy. And yes, if you ignore the art problems, the Annual was a relatively fine read. But, with double the page count and only about a third of the main cast (read: Lobo and Black Canary), it failed to represent or even adequately connect to the rest of the series, and it sure as hell didn’t give the impression that the book, as a whole, would be getting any better. However, that changed with JLA #22. We finally got a villain with some complexity to her, and none of the title team’s members did anything too stupid. And then, Justice League of America #23 managed to keep it mostly together. But, as I said in my review for that issue, it takes three to form a pattern. So, here we are with Justice League of America #24, the upshot of which is twofold. On the one hand, it appears that Orlando has indeed settled into a new, less stupid standard for his last half-dozen issues of JLA. But, at the same time, there’s been a conceptual short-sightedness that’s been at the heart of his work on this title, and it returns as clear cut as ever here.
Review: Lumberjanes Vol. 8: Stone Cold
By Cat Wyatt
While the wait for the next volume pretty much felt unbearable, we’re finally there! I keep wondering/worrying that we’re going to see the end of the summer on the horizon, but based on some of the theories forming about time dilation I’m starting to feel a little safer about this series. I don’t see it ending sooner than it wants to (though perhaps it’ll do what Gothic Academy did and have ‘breaks’ but always come back to the story, just a year later? It’d be interesting to see how the girls/guys would change after a year away).
Review: Heavenly Blues #2
By Cat Wyatt
The second issue of Heavenly Blues starts off on a bit of a somber note. Erin lived back in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. If you’re asking yourself if that was during the time of the Salem Witch Trials, then the answer is yet. If I hadn’t seen Erin’s vibrant hair among the crowd during the execution of the ‘witches’ I would have been terrified to see her up there on the gallows. That’s not something I’d wish for anyone, but especially not a girl as young as her.
Review: Freelance #1
By Cat Wyatt
Freelance is a fun new series about a different group of people who do their best to fight the threats that humanity is better off not facing. They’re an odd group, to say the least. There’s Lance Valiant, the only one who could be called a superhero in the group (by power standards that is); Tasha Kolchak is the genius in the group; and then there’s John Cabot, a reformed criminal (well, mostly reformed). Not really the team I’d picture to step up and protect humanity from some very real threats, but you can bet that nobody would complain about their helping.
