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.

Benjamin Percy to Pen NIGHTWING in May; Christopher Mooneyham on Art

Press Release

“The best way to approach NIGHTWING is as a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled mystery and adventure,” says Benjamin Percy on his new assignment writing the famous BATMAN sidekick. “I’m going to crank up the volume on that world, dose it full of steroids and poison, and dream up a digital nightmare that will ultimately impact the entire DCU.”

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).

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.

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!).
