Review: The New World #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Perfect description is just what Image says, Romeo and Juliet meet Mad Max. Welcome to an alternate future where five major cities are all randomly bombed. No one knows who did it and no one is admitting to it. A second civil war breaks out, and New California reigns supreme. In New California, there exists a reality show all about hunting criminals led by an extreme cop. Against the government comes a contradictory hacker anarchist who substations from any drug (including alcohol) and any meat. Like all good romances, romance ensues after a hook up from these two, and thus the story begins right where the first issue ends. This issue is super-lengthed and serves to introduce all the background needed. Prepare to be immersed.

Review: Superman #1

By Damien Becton

Brian Michael Bendis makes his (official) debut on Superman with this week’s relaunch of the hero’s main title. It has been a long-awaited debut as the past couple of months DC has been promoting this story with “BENDIS IS COMING” ads. Now he's here and paired with Ivan Reis. So, does this issue live up to the hype? For the most part, yeah, it does! It’s everything you would expect from a good Bendis book - and some bad things you would expect.

Review: She Could Fly #1

By Garrett Hanneken

Based on the cover and the title of She Could Fly, I was under the impression that this comic would be another superhero tale involving a new heroine. I have never been so wrong.

Review: The Man of Steel #6

By Garrett Hanneken

With the announcement that Brian Michael Bendis will be writing the forthcoming Superman titles starting with The Man of Steel, I would say most people wanted to check out The Man of Steel first before diving into his Superman or Action Comics. The reason being, so people can get a taste as to how Bendis will handle Superman. Now that The Man of Steel has ended, fans will either feel a need to continue with Bendis’ Superman, feel let down, or feel indifferent about everything. With that said, I would have to go with the latter.

Review: Portal Bound #4

By Cat Wyatt

Portal Bound #4 is the second to last in the series, and we still have quite a bit to deal with before it’s all said and done. In the last issue, Sybil ran off, intent to save her kingdom on her own. That would have been well and good, except she destroyed the portal on her way. That and there’s the fact that she and Eli are soul-bound, meaning that if she dies so does Eli. That makes this move of hers a bit more selfish than it looked at first glance. Hopefully, this issue will have the team getting back together.

Review: Jeepers Creepers #3

By Damien Becton

In my previous review of Marc Andreyko and Dynamite Entertainment’s adaptation of the 2001 horror movie, I stated that if you were a fan of the film like I am, then you would probably enjoy the book. I also stated that if you weren’t a fan of the cult classic, then you would have a hard time getting into the issue. With issue number three, the previous statements still hold true. But now even fans of the book may feel this book grow just a little bit tiresome and repetitive.

Review: Rocko's Modern Life #6

By Hunter T. Patrick

Just a wallaby with his dog. The issue picks up where the last one leaves off with Rocko losing his trusted dog as his dog became a viral internet star and was taken away for a life of glory, away from his trusted owner. The issue goes back and forth between Rocko and his dog showing how miserable Rocko is, just wanting his dog back, to his dog just being a dog and not really having any comprehension for most of the issue of what is wrong. Rocko’s friends try to help him out, but sadly nothing will please Rocko more than having his simple life returned. The issue itself serves as a typical story for a beginning, middle, and an ending that leads directly into the next issue, which is stronger than the last issues twist. Similar to previous issues there is a backup story simply about cutting the grass, which of course gets over exaggerated in a huge fashion.

Review: Giant Days #40

By Cat Wyatt

It’s time for another issue of Giant Days! Giant Days #40 brings us, Ed Gemmell, back, finally, but naturally, there’s an adjustment period to be had. It was revealed in the last issue that Ed had been avoiding all forms of contact with Esther, under the crazy belief that this would somehow fix what happened. Let’s hope he does better this time around…

IDWs new ongoing Disney comic expands on the adventures in the Disney Channel animated show, Tangled: The Series. The show began with a made-for-TV movie entitled Tangled: Before Ever After, in which Rapunzel gets her magical hair back. The second season premiered recently under a new title: Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The show was renewed for a third season, but the comic continues to carry the original series name.

Review: Death or Glory #3

By Damien Becton

With the previous two issues of Death or Glory, Remender and Bengal find their footing by effectively establishing the characters and craziness that takes place in their story. With the third issue of the book, the two creators turn it into a full-on sprint. Easily the best issue in the series so far, Death or Glory #3 manages to effectively mix engaging action and thrills with captivating and genuine character development.
