Review: Heavenly Blues #2
By Cat Wyatt
The second issue of Heavenly Blues starts off on a bit of a somber note. Erin lived back in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. If you’re asking yourself if that was during the time of the Salem Witch Trials, then the answer is yet. If I hadn’t seen Erin’s vibrant hair among the crowd during the execution of the ‘witches’ I would have been terrified to see her up there on the gallows. That’s not something I’d wish for anyone, but especially not a girl as young as her.
Review: Freelance #1
By Cat Wyatt
Freelance is a fun new series about a different group of people who do their best to fight the threats that humanity is better off not facing. They’re an odd group, to say the least. There’s Lance Valiant, the only one who could be called a superhero in the group (by power standards that is); Tasha Kolchak is the genius in the group; and then there’s John Cabot, a reformed criminal (well, mostly reformed). Not really the team I’d picture to step up and protect humanity from some very real threats, but you can bet that nobody would complain about their helping.

030 - Plenty of love in the air on this podcast, but only because I forgot to close the window! No idea what that means, I'm just doing the obligatory acknowledgment of Valentines. I'll do the same next month for St. Drunk People's Day. I cover a lot of comics on the show today. All but two of them released today. If you don't want the advanced reviews spoiled for you, stop listening after I talk about Sideways. I would give you an exact time, but then I'd have to listen to the show, and I'm not going to do that!
Comic Books covered in this episode:
- Death of Love #1
- Ghost Money #7
- Giants #3
- Judas #3

Review: Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #19
By Cat Wyatt
Issue number 19 is the start of a new Batgirl heavy plot; Full Circle. This plot is building off of one started earlier, involving Calculator and his business (you know, the one where he helps criminals plan their heists by getting over blueprints and all the other relevant information?). The real question for this issue is whether or not Barbara can resist picking up the Oracle’s mantle again, and what would happen if she lets temptation win.
Review: Judas #3
By Dustin Cabeal
Look, I know that not everyone has heard or read stories from the Bible, but if you have, even the basic outline of a verse… then Judas is a boring read. There is no secret history being added, just more character development for Judas… and not much.
Review: Twisted Romance #2
By Cat Wyatt
The second issue of Twisted Romance consists of three different stories. The first is titled ‘Twinkle & The Star’ (cute play on words there), the second is called ‘Back at Your Door’, and the third is ‘Would You Even Know It?’ Obviously all three have the same main theme, which is that of love and romance.
Review: Mister Miracle #1 Director's Cut
By Kelly Gaines
Only a few times in a generation do we get a comic book that deserves to be counted as a literary and artistic achievement. It takes an exceptional team of talent working in perfect sync to create a story that not only engages the reader but adds a new layer of depth to the medium. We’ve seen it in books like Watchmen, Kingdom Come, and Maus- books with a creative impact that left a permanent mark on what comics are and what they’re capable of doing. After reading the director’s cut of Mister Miracle #1 and comparing it side by side to the originally released version, I am convinced that this Mister Miracle run will be counted among the best stories ever told in comic form. This is a title that not only honors Jack Kirby’s characters but treats them with a level of respect unparalleled by any other version. They deserve this kind of careful and thoughtful treatment, and I think he would be proud to see it.
Review: Suicide Squad #35
By Cat Wyatt
Suicide Squad #35 brings the walls down around our characters heads, as well as a blast from the past. It’s a Waller heavy episode (aren’t all of the doom and gloom ones about her though?) so the fans out there that don’t like her may not be happy with this issue, but then again, if seeing Waller get outmaneuvered is something you’ve been daydreaming about…read on.
Review: Kill or Be Killed #16
Sixteen issues in and Kill or Be Killed continues to find new and interesting ways to hook the reader in. It seems like each new issue introduces another cumbersome wrinkle for Dylan to maneuver around. In Kill or Be Killed #16, Dylan has to come to grips with a copycat killer besmirching his reputation and tarnishing his image while being confined and drugged up in an insane asylum. But its in Dylan’s introspection focusing on when he originally lost his youthful naiveté is where this issue makes its mark. In this instance both writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips work cohesively to not only make the reader side with a murdering insane person, but make a profound statement on life’s overall unfairness.
Review: Death of Love #1
By Cat Wyatt
Death of Love is a new series, and it certainly appears to have a lot of potential. The fact that its first issue drops on Valentine’s Day is just a bonus, if you ask me. The story follows a man named Philo Harris, and let’s be honest here, he’s a bit of a jerk. And not the type that can own up to it, but the type that thinks he deserves the girl because he pretended to be nice to her. The man was willing to try anything in the book to get girls to want him, and apparently that willingness is about to lead him into a heap of trouble.
