Review: Batgirl #19

By Cat Wyatt

Batgirl #19 is the start of a new plot, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that was a little bit confused upon seeing this cover. Batgirl and Cobblepot working together? According to the caption on the cover (which can sometimes be misleading, intentionally or not), they’re ‘Burnside’s newest crime-fighting duo.’ What alternative universe have we been flung to? Obviously I just had to read this one and see what was going on!

Review: Monstress #13

By Ben Snyder

Monstress #13 begins the newest story arc in Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda’s sprawling fantasy epic. While still bogged down by some of the issues that plagued it previously, Monstress #13 introduces enough wrinkles into the Monstress formula to spice it up a bit while also providing a fun and entertaining read.

Take that Victory Gin! Yeah… fuck you and your cheap bottle that breaks at the most believable spot! Who drinks gin? People? I know people that drink gin! Why the fuck is that a cover! When is this comic going to do something? Huh? What’s that lady’s name? Why can’t I remember it? Also, I swear to fucking god if the Joker ends up being their son I’m going to go down to DC’s office and shit in their lobby!

Review: Cold War #1

By Jonathan Edwards

AfterShock has been making a pretty good name for itself over the last year or so. Their catalog of books has expanded exponentially, and they’ve maintained a decently high standard of quality across the board. So, when they first announced Cold War, it seemed to be a pretty safe bet for some quality high concept shenanigans. Unfortunately, that’s not what we get from this first issue. And, what we get instead is a jumbled and unengaging plot, characters devoid of development and/or likeability, and a blatant absence of any proper reason to bother with any subsequent issues.

Review: Wonder Woman #39

By Cat Wyatt

Issue 39 is the second in what I assume are three issues involving the Silver Swan. When we left off a crushed fan named Vanessa had cracked under her disappointment of being abandoned (how she saw it at least) and became the villain the Silver Swan. She attacked and killed a family that Wonder Woman had recently saved, knowing that she would rush to check on them when she heard something was wrong (much like she had done for Vanessa in the early days after her own rescue). It’s understandable how to someone like Vanessa this would only add fuel to the fire.

Review: Sink #4

By Dustin Cabeal

At the end of every year, we roll out our list of the best and worst comics. It’s a tricky thing because where do you draw the line. Some titles have completed, while others are just starting, but show fantastic promise. There is a time in the past in which I picked a book for one of my best of choices that had just started, and while that first issue or so were great, the series quickly tapered off. Since then I like to give a series a few more under the belt before putting them on my list.

Review: Suicide Squad #34

By Cat Wyatt

Issue 34 is still focused on poor Juan Soria. If you remember from last time, Juan is one of those background type characters who are always in the wrong place at the wrong time. The problem is he knows it, and he’s in the worst place of all; he’s an extra on a Suicide Squad mission. He’s already witnessed most of the other (unnamed) backup team members die (and pretty horrifically I might add), so things aren’t looking too good for him at the moment.

Review: Ninja-K #3

By Dustin Cabeal

Admittedly, this issue is a little chatty. If you’re not super invested in the lore behind the Ninja program, then you’re going to be bored. For those of us that are vested, it’s more like, “Go on gentlemen, fire this all out here in the third issue please!” They don’t figure everything out, but Christos Gage introduces a concept that changes the superhero landscape.

Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #37

By Cat Wyatt

Issue number 37 of Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns is starting a new plot – and this one was not one I was expecting (okay, not the full truth – I knew to expect it once I saw the cover, but before that, it never crossed my mind). Zod is back from the Phantom Zone, and he’s looking to start fresh. So, of course, the odds were likely that a Green Lantern would come across them first. Just looking at the cover, it’s clear that Hal gets put up against one of Superman’s greatest villains. I honestly had never thought about this fight, so I can’t tell you who I’d expect to win. Probably whoever had more time to prepare? (which doesn’t look good for Hal, in this case).

Review: Abbot #1

By Ben Snyder

Abbott #1 begins as an homage to 70’s Blaxploitation films. Starring a touch as nails black female reporter who stumbles upon a mystery that only she can solve.  But Abbott #1 evolves into something much greater and more occult.  Writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Sami Kivelä both work beautifully together to create what has the potential to be one of the best new ongoing series this year.

Review: Batman Beyond #16

By Cat Wyatt

Issue 16 of Batman Beyond was kind enough to pick up exactly where 15 had left off; with Stalker and Terry battling it out in the air (and remember, poor Dana has been taken along for the ride). I understand why Stalker is doing this, despite his agreement with Terry (his people are starving, what choice did he really have?) but I still feel like there would have been another way around this. Anyway, the fact that he knows Terry is Batman is pretty damn scary, as is the fact that he obviously knows that Dana is his weakness. This doesn’t bode well for our Batman.
