Review: Dept. H vol. 1

By Daniel Vlasaty

Who killed the smartest man on earth…?

Dept H. is billed as a murder mystery and it is that, but also so much more. It’s the story of family and loss and adventure and science and discovery and exploration – from the farthest reaches of the universe to the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean. To the underwater caves home to strange creatures, giant turtles and tentacled things and sea spiders that can mimic human voices much like parrots.

Review: Justice League of America: The Ray Rebirth #1

By Jonathan Edwards

Something happened after I read this book. I was comparing it to the previous two JLA Rebirth one-shots, and something occurred to me. The thing I liked most about Justice League of America: The Atom Rebirth #1 was the structure, as it served as a microcosm of Ryan Choi's experiences with Ray Palmer and The Atom. For Justice League of America: Vixen Rebirth #1, it was the color and how it was used to distinguish, but also link, her past and present. And then, there's this one: Justice League of America: The Ray Rebirth #1.  As far as I know, this marks Ray Terrill's first appearance in the main DC continuity since 2011. Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti did write a four-issue limited series titled The Ray a few months after The New 52. However, that introduced a new character, Lucien Gates, taking up the mantle. Although, it doesn't look like anything was really done with The Ray after that. Lucien apparently showed up as a supporting character a few times, but that's about it. That is, until now. The reemergence of Ray as The Ray seems to coincide with the announced Freedom Fighters: The Ray animated series, set to appear on CW Seed later this year. Because, like the version of the character starring in that series, Ray Terrill is now gay.

By Dustin Cabeal

Vince Brusio's Pussycats is back with a new two-issue mini-series that will ship in March of this year. As you might have already noticed the variant covers for this series feature real models dressed as the characters from the comic and were quite popular among readers. Interestingly enough, there's going to be a wider range of covers this time around as "Store Safe" covers have been added making it easier for retailers to display the book out in the open.

AfterShock Comics Announces New Series from Layman and Kieth

By Dustin Cabeal

I think now that Chew is over everyone's going to be a little more interested in what John Layman is up to, but I'll admit that I didn't see him doing a series with Sam Kieth as one of his next projects. There's a quote from Layman about their new series Eleanor & The Egret, and it sounds crazy, but the type of crazy that makes you want to pick it up first thing on April 5th.
