Review: The Backways #1
By Patrick Wolf
Backways is a new age, gothic, horror-romance that features a pair of feisty teens out to find their missing girlfriend. While the series’ artwork is wonderful and the characters are charming, the story suffers from too much jargon and hidden exposition to be as fluid as it needs to be. At the moment, the franchise does seem to have a lot of potential, but it still needs more time to get off the ground. Until then, I’ll give it a pass.
Review: Suicide Squad #29
By Cat Wyatt
The Secret History of Task Force X Part Three picks up from where we left off in issue #28, with our anti-heroes heading towards the moon. In a surprisingly Meta twist, it turns out that there’s a vault under the Apollo Moon Landing site which is where dangerous extraterrestrials are stored. All I can say is that I certainly hope Waller isn’t in charge of keeping them in place! We all know what she would do with them, given half a chance.
Review: 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank
There a very few books right now that are just flat out fun and enjoyable; forgoing major political or social commentary and the necessity of setting up an expanded universe. 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank is one of these instances and it is an absolute and total success. While extremely funny, what truly allows this book to work is the heartfelt characters, specifically Paige. Paige is an incredibly well designed and written character, and propels the story to a satisfying if not inevitable conclusion.
Review: Justice League of America #18
By Jonathan Edwards
Ugh. I realize that it was naïve for me to think that maybe, just maybe, since the last issue ended up being somewhat decent, this one would follow suit. Nope. Admittedly, the premise here isn’t an inherently awful one, but it’s one that requires some nuance and careful execution to work. And, therein lies the problem. Neither of those traits are among those that Orlando’s run on JLA exhibits, let alone excels at. What’s more, you can actually see the internal logic try to be established, start falling apart and eventually completely break down throughout the first few pages. So, by the time the “conflict” really starts, you’re already ahead of it and bored waiting for the story to catch up.
Review: Harley Quinn #31
By Cat Wyatt
Harley Quinn #31 picks up where the last issue left us off, continuing the Vote Harley plot started in issue #28. Everything kicks off with a reminder that Mason has been kidnapped (again) and that Harley must quit her race for Mayor in order to ensure his safety. Now I’ll be the first to admit that Harley probably wouldn’t make the best mayor (bright side: the animal shelters funding would absolutely be increased), but she probably couldn’t do any worse than Mayor DePerpo.
Review: Eugenic #2
By Justin McCarty
This installment of Eugenic is a much smaller story than the first issue. This is a story of young idealists and their dissent. The Numans have risen to power and humans are no longer the top of the food chain. In fact, humans are now considered to be no better than any other animal. In this issue, we get to a distinctly dystopian view of society. Can a society designed to be perfect still be evil?
Review: Rock Candy Mountain #5
By Daniel Vlasaty
Rock Candy Mountain has been one of my favorite books of the year. In it, Kyle Starks has created a world that is weird and full of history and life – and hobos, bums, tramps, and Satan. He’s decided to focus the attention of the book on a population and community that is never really looked at favorably, either in fiction or in the real world. I don’t really know where I’m going with this, other than to say Rock Candy Mountain with issue #5 is back, my dudes, and I am super freaking excited about that.
Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32
By Cat Wyatt
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #32 continues Bats Out of Hell plot, bringing us None More Black. The events in this issue take place during Dark Nights: Metal, bringing us back to the Multiverse. In this issue, the events that occur are split into two different times, “then” and “now.” Then appears to be before everything went downhill, while now is showing us with our heroes either in a fight or rapidly losing it.
Review: Royal City #7
By Ben Snyder
In Royal City #7, Jeff Lemire finally begins to reveal his intentions with the character of Thomas Pike. Throughout the series so far, every member of the Pike clan pasted their expectations and hopes onto the lost soul that was Tommy. In entry #7, Lemire does a great job of showcasing this while also introducing Tommy’s new role as a broadcasting center of sorts.
Review: Dark Nights: Batman Lost #1
By Cat Wyatt
Batman: Lost is a Dark Nights: Metal tie-in, and being that it is issue #1 it has the luxury of starting where it wants to. In this case that is showing us Bruce Wayne at the ripe old age of 78, settling down to read a story to his granddaughter. Seeing Bruce act so parental should probably set off some sort of alarm bells for any Batman fan, for surely something deeper is going on here.
