Review: Titans Special #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Misleading name featuring Titans, still exciting nonetheless. There is no need to have read what followed, this is a perfect starting point, even if not having read Metal or No Justice/ The end of Metal happened as did the end of No Justice. The source wall has been destroyed. Before No Justice, the Titans also disbanded. The world is ending, and the threats have never been bigger. How do the Titans continue? Well, a new team of course. The Titans were not an ordinary team, they were formed over friendship. This new team will be different, an actual team. With the new threats, the DC Trinity asks Nightwing to lead a new team of his choice. Nightwing, Donna Troy, Raven, Beast Boy, Steel (Natasha Irons), and their ‘chaperone’, Miss Martian. Team members now have their abilities being altered thanks to the source wall broken and people need to be saved. This issue brings together this new team for the first time and also sets up the new era of Titans, with a team trying to be different than what came before. Welcome to the new unknown.

Review: About Betty's Boob

By Hunter T. Patrick

Such a lovely message. Elisabeth is a woman who just lost her breast and hair after fighting a disease. She begins to be shunned by society, and even worse her significant other. He tries, he really does for her, but he cannot get over her having a single breast. She begins to have everyone turn against her and all values of beauty cause her to spiral worse and worse into loneliness and despair in society. Yep. Sounds pretty depressing. But as with all great tragedies there should be a little hope. This plays into hope. The metaphors are strong, and the social commentary is stronger. This is a book that unashamedly plays into femininity and beauty, it is all the stronger for not being afraid to put it all into its art.

Review: Tap Dance Killer #1

By Dan Traeger

I have a little secret to share with you all. It’s kind of embarrassing because it involves a colossal multinational corporation that holds an illegal monopoly on my favorite industry. I hate big corporations. They’re faceless and soulless and they swallow up people in their destructive wake like Great White Sharks on a bait ball of Mackerel. But…

Review: Wonder Woman Annual #2

By Cat Wyatt

It’s time for Wonder Woman Annual #2. It’s part of the Dark Gods plot that has been going on, but it’s individually titled to Save the Star Sapphires. Last we saw in the main continuity Wonder Woman was about to begin battling the Dark Gods that arrived when suddenly she was pulled away by the Star Sapphires. This isn’t like them, to pull her away from a battle for no reason. So likely they desperately need her help.

Review: Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

This felt like the complete opposite of a first issue, not even the previously on helped. A first issue should have all the information at hand or at least guide a reader into knowing where to read the story that came first. At the end of this comic, it had a handy-dandy guide for Doctor Who comics for the 9th-12th Doctor and a few other Doctors… Not the Seventh. There is no need to have seen the Seventh Doctor’s television run but be advised that reading what is before in the comics is what is needed. Find a guide online and read what is before. If you are prepared to go in for the Doctor be warned, this story has maybe 15 panels of the Doctor in each of the two stories in this comic, combined, with over 50 pages overall for this comic. This is not about the Seventh Doctor but his world, which is poorly executed on both stories.

Review: The Unexpected #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The only good thing that’s come from Dark Night Metal is that there’s a slew of new characters flooding the DC Universe. There’s not much of a chance that all of these new characters will stick around, but I like when DC attempts character creations like this because we might see them later down the road, re-invented and more interesting. After the big “you better own that character” boom of the mid-2000’s creators seemed to stop creating new characters for the big two which left this void of potentially dumb, but awesome characters.

Review: Prism Stalker #4

By Cat Wyatt

Prism Stalker #4 is here, and Vep is continuing on her journey and training to try and fit into the new world she’s been brought to. In the last issue, a new sort of battle practice was thrown at her, and things did not go well. We already know that there’s no room in this academy for slackers, so Vep must succeed if she wants to continue to live here.

Review: Shade the Changing Woman #4

By Kelly Gaines

The Cray are coming. We know how Paul Revere would have handled the situation, but Shade is having a much more difficult time sounding the alarm for Earth’s approaching doom. Readers have become well acquainted with the more risque and criminal parts of Loma/ Meghan/ Shade’s past and Shade the Changing Woman #4 visits a new memory. Though Shade has tried hard to forget this piece of her past, the memory holds a long lost fear that may be Earth’s only hope.

Review: Giant Days #39

By Cat Wyatt

Every issue of Giant Days brings us farther and farther along in Suzie, Esther, and Daisy’s lives. In the last issue, we saw all three girls moving on and getting their own places to live – separate from each other. So it’s only natural that Giant Days #39 has them taking the next logical big leap – it’s time for a job fair.

Review: Outpost Zero #1

By Sam King

Outpost Zero is a new science fiction comic published by Image Comics. The first issue is highly intriguing, and it raises a lot of questions. So far, it seems like it has a lot of growing potential and a varied cast to keep things interesting. This is one I will definitely be keeping an eye open for in the future.
