Review: Sherlock Holmes – The Vanishing Man #1

By Cat Wyatt

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Vanishing Man is a new story from the minds of Leah Moore and John Reppion; their goal is to fill in the gaps and tell us the tales that Sherlock Holmes has always been referencing and alluding to; the adventures that happened before and in between the classic tales we all know and love.

Review: Street Angel Goes to Juvie

By Sam King

Street Angel is a 12-year old homeless skateboarding girl. In this story, she goes to juvie in order to perform a secret mission. I had never heard of Street Angel before, but I thought this was pretty fun. It isn’t as short as a typical comic issue, but it also isn’t as long as some graphic novels. It clocks in around 40 pages, so it a brief, yet entertaining read.

Review: Coda #1

By Cat Wyatt

Coda is a new series by BOOM! Studios. It’s about a man named Hum who’s on an epic quest to save his wife. It’s described as being perfect for fans of Mad Max and Lord of the Rings, which may very well be true (I don’t know about the Mad Max bit, being as I still haven’t gotten around to seeing it, but I can at least vouch for the Lord of the Rings part). It’s a post-apocalyptic world involving magic, wastelands, oh and did I mention that the main character has a pentacorn (picture a unicorn but with five horns instead of the usual one).

Review: Green Lanterns #46

By Cat Wyatt

Things have been pretty rough for our Green Lantern duo the past few hours. Jessica is reliving one of the worst memories of her life (and she’s doing so by choice, believe it or not), and Simon is trying to deal with the resulting black hole it created and his rescue mission (no way is he leaving his partner to go through this on her own).

Review: Stellar #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s an adage, “Name your wrestlers like you’d name your children.” The thought process behind this is that you don’t name someone something that can be easily turned cruel. Of course, most people think of cruel rhymes first, but easy targets like “Stellar” which have more than one meaning, are also easy targets. I’m not saying this to be cruel; I’m just pointing out how easy it's going to be for this title.

Review: Harley Loves Joker #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

After binge reading the Harley Loves Joker backup stories in Harley Quinn’s solo title did I feel sufficiently prepared for this. I figured those were optional, but they most definitely were not optional to understand as this issue takes very little time catching people up after roughly a year since these backups were released. No holding back (except for the quick recap as stated) makes this issue all the stronger for it. Things ended with a cliffhanger, and this feels identical to the backups, just in a full-length format now. Seeing this as a two-issue miniseries as marketed is wrong, this issue is a full epilogue/continuation to the story previously as it should be.

Review: Flavor #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There has been a slew of cooking-themed comics in the past year. While manga has always dominated the genre and found new and interesting ways to present it, the Western comics are still getting their footing. The problem tends to be the story itself. The rules for cooking and the setting are always interesting, but then the stories seem to spend more time reminding you of the concept than building on it. Unfortunately, Flavor isn’t looking to be much different.

Review: Oz - The Wizard #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

[Insert overused Wizard of Oz quote in a slightly new way here]. Being a really big fan of the Wizard of Oz movie was I excited to read this, not realizing that this is a continuation of a previous story. Do not worry, this issue sums everything up in the first few pages where you do not need any background. If you desperately want to know more and if you have not read anything else, please go on and google image Zenescope Oz like I did and enjoy all the comic cleavage anyone could possibly want for a character originally younger than 18, but do not worry, I am assuming this version of the character is at least 18.

Review: Jasmine: Crown of Kings #1

I have never read a Zenescope comic in my life, so I figured a new series would be a good place to give one a try. Jasmine: Crown of Kings #1 is the first issue in a new five-part series. It is a pretty decent starting issue and got me into the swing of things pretty quickly. This series takes Jasmine, a former Jinn, and entangles her with Ali and the Forty Thieves.
