Review: Raven Daughter of Darkness #3
By Kelly Gaines
How do you make a half-demon superhero living with devoutly religious relatives who spends her time fighting psychological villains boring? I don’t fucking know but as Marv Wolfman. I’m beginning to notice a pattern with his Raven arcs. The story starts out with potential, then slowly fades into a boring circle. It was my worst fear with this title, and Raven Daughter of Darkness #3 has brought up a disappointing sensation a deja vu. All of the ingredients for a great comic are there- interesting characters, complex backstories, a strong start, and a top-notch creative team. Because of these elements, I was willing to give this version of Raven another shot after the first arc ended on a rather flat note. Now I’m just pissed off. How are you doing this? How is this not working? This is literally the first time reading about demons has bored me, and I hold you accountable, Wolfman!

Review: Goosebumps: Download and Die!
By Garrett Hanneken
To me, the memorable thing about Goosebumps are the various monsters and mishaps that the kids encounter. With that in mind, this comic touched basis on that with about three references to the array of characters under the Goosebumps title which appears to be a decent amount for a first issue. However, I couldn’t help but wish for more.

Review: The Terrifics #2
By Garrett Hanneken
The second issue of a comic is usually a pretty important one. The reason being is because if you are reading the second issue, then you decided to continue with the story, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are hooked. Which begs the question if the second issue of The Terrifics is able to hook the reader or not.

Review: Dark Nights Metal #6
By Garrett Hanneken
All roads lead to darkness. The finale to Dark Nights Metal kicks off with that very statement as we have multiple factors reach a conclusion. The once dragon of The Forger, Barbatos, is seen, quite literally, towering over the earth as it is being plunged into the depths. The Batman who Laughs begins to reveal the captive behind the bandages and meanwhile, the only superheroes capable of fighting are Wonder Woman and Lady Blackhawk as they take on hoards of various evil incarnations from the dark multiverse. This issue begins in darkness, but is there a light of hope at the end?

Review: Wonder Woman #43
By Cat Wyatt
Issue #42 of Wonder Woman had Jason back home with Diana, trying to be a better superhero (it doesn’t seem to be as intuitive for him as it is for her). He’s still got plenty of flaws and weaknesses, not to mention a grudge against Grail and her father Darkseid. While I’m sure Diana is happy to have him back safe and sound, I’m very worried about where things are going to go from here.

Review: Fire Punch vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
The first volume of Fire Punch was one of the weirdest, graphic manga I have ever read. Following Agni, a “blessed” person with the ability to regenerate, his sister and town are struck down by a holy crusade and another “blessed” named Doma. Doma’s ability is to set things on fire, and his flame won’t extinguish until it’s out of fuel. This puts Agni in a difficult position as he regenerates quickly. After years and years, he learns how to regenerate in a way that he can function and begins walking to find Doma… to kill him.
