Review: Royal City #10
By Ben Snyder
It feels odd to say that any Jeff Lemire story is a little to melancholic but that’s how Royal City #10 reads. The ominous radio frequencies, the general malaise of living in a small steel town, a monologue based on the woes of normalcy; all the staples of the series are present, but it doesn’t mesh as well as in previous entries. Maybe it’s because of the scene between Tommy and Ritchie’s girlfriend or maybe it’s the overwhelming melancholy that the script exudes- regardless Royal City #10 is probably one of the weaker entries in the series so far.
Review: Eternal Empire #7
By Cat Wyatt
Eternal Empire #7 continues the epic journey that Tair and Rion have begun. In the last issue, they finally made it to Nifaali (which I imagine was a huge relief for everybody involved). However, their journey is far from over. They still need to figure out how to stand up against the Empire and take down the Empress. Neither of those tasks sounds simple, especially for two people who have never had any official training (of any sort).
Review: Evolution #4
By Cat Wyatt
The story continues to slowly unfold in Evolution #4. We’re still focused on the same set of characters, all of whom are working on the puzzle (for lack of a better description) from different angles. While the Doctor probably has the best background for understanding the issue, he’s absolutely the worst at getting people to understand him (he rambles more than a doomsayer).
I’ll admit the cover for this issue had me a little concerned about the graphic nature inside (I don’t know why I’m not sure it’ll get much more than we’ve already seen?), but the worry seems to have been mostly unfounded.
Review: Descender #27
By Ben Snyder
Descender #27 takes place 4,000 years before the events of the main story and while that fact alone may seem like the beginnings of an entry brimming with filler and unnecessary material and for the most part it is, but writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen do enough to craft interesting enough characters to guide us through their exploration of the Harvesters and their creators.
Review: Damage #2
By Dustin Cabeal
I am not the first, nor will I be the last to make a comics and wrestling comparison. Some think they’ve cracked some kind of Omega Code or feel that they really need to explain it in order for you to “understand what they’re saying.” I’ve written too many reviews and talked way too many hours to think that I’m talking to some un-initiated audience, so I’ll just dive in on Damage #2.
Review: Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye - Swamp Thing #1
By Kelly Gaines
I used to think I was incredibly lucky in terms of friendship. I’ve always believed myself to be one of those fortunate few who have an infallible support system of loving companions who tough out the bad times and make the good times shine brighter. Turns out, I don’t know shit about friendship. Real friends risk life and limb to fight for your cause. Real friends warn you when alien psychos are about to force you to wear khakis. Real friends live in your stomach until the time comes for you to vomit them up so together you can save the world. Swamp Thing is a real friend. Swamp Thing should do a TED Talk.
Review: Batman & the Signal #2
By Cat Wyatt
This continues the story of our latest (I believe) Bat-themed vigilante and to date our only one that works solely in the light of day. Duke is different from the rest of the bat-themed heroes we all know and love; he believes in fighting in the light, and he’s also a metahuman. The struggles he’s facing and will continue to face are very different from the rest of the Robins and Bat people (that sounded a little comical, if I may say so), more so because of his limited backup (which makes me wonder – do the rest of the team keep their communicators on during the day? I’m sure obsessive Bruce does, but what about the rest?).
Review: Harley Quinn #38
By Cat Wyatt
The Penguin’s diabolical plan continues in Harley Quinn #38, with multiple other villains (of various levels of classification) joining in the fight. Coney Island has become a very chaotic place to live, to say the least. Having to see a certain elderly cyborg in a speedo was certainly not on my list of things I would like to witness, however, I can check it off anyway.
Review: Green Lanterns #41
By Cat Wyatt
The Green Lanterns are still dealing with the repercussions from that Caper dating app. Who would have thought one little app could cause so much trouble? To recap, thanks to this app Simon had his heart (and his ego) broken, Jessica had no idea it existed (until the other day), and at least one villain was using the app to capture and kidnap heroes (preferably the ones that wouldn’t be missed right away). So in other words, it’s a huge mess.
Review: Heavenly Blues #3
By Cat Wyatt
Just as with the previous two issues, Heavenly Blues #3 starts out telling us a bit more about one of our characters. In this case, we’re learning more about Hideki (the peeping Tom/drug addict) and his time among the living. It goes a long way to explain his obsession with the living. I’ll admit at the beginning of this issue I was still having doubts about how he would fit in with the rest of the group (in many ways he is the most different from them all).
