Review: Days of Hate #2
By Ben Snyder
Days of Hate #2 picks up with Amanda Parker and her partner on the run and Parker’s ex-lover Huan Xing picking up the case on their heels. While this issue doesn’t necessarily advance the plot further, it does provide the quiet character moments that were lacking from the first issue. So far writer Aleš Kot and artist Danijel Žeželj adhere to a traditionally successful formula. Days of Hate #1 makes us care about the world and Days of Hate #2 makes us care about the characters involved.
Review: Wonder Woman #41
By Cat Wyatt
In Wonder Woman #40 we saw a lot of events occur, along with the defeat of Silver Swan, we saw something happen to Jason, Darkseid making a move, and Steve unintentionally getting in the way of said move. Issue #41 picks up all those loose threads and continues to weave them together.
In the last issue, we saw Darkseid’s Female Furies (love the alliteration there) take on Steve and his crew in an attempt to gain access to the relic inside the Topkapi Palace. His team won (go Steve!), and they even managed to capture two of the furies while they were at it. Darkseid is very displeased with their failure, a fact he’s currently making clear.
Review: Abbott #2
By Ben Snyder
Abbott #2 does enough to meet the lofty expectations set by its introductory issue by introducing a wide variety of interesting characters and leaning more into the supernatural elements of the story and still maintaining it’s detective story roots. Writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Sami Kivelä experiment enough in this issue to stretch out their roots and reach for the even higher heights in future issues. However, I do have some hesitations that the story may go down the traditional “Chosen One” story path that we have seen time and time again.
Review: Suicide Squad #36
By Cat Wyatt
You’ll probably remember that in issue #35 of Suicide Squad it was revealed that Hack was back (I didn’t mean to rhyme there, I swear), but not quite in the flesh. She remembers that she was murdered, but not knowing who did it she’s decided to take out her anger and frustration on all of Belle Reve, Waller, and the Task Force X; which leads us to issue #36, which picks up her witch hunt where it left off.
Review: The Beef #1
By Jonathan Edwards
With a title like The Beef and a cover featuring the subtitles “tainted love” and “a biochemical romance,” I went into this first issue expecting a story along the lines of Image’s Plastic from last year. And, since Plastic was the best thing I read from Image last year, I was pretty stoked at the idea of a similarly nontraditional love story, this time utilizing an inverse metaphor and theme (that is to say, about meat rather than, well, plastic). Of course, that was a pretty big conclusion to jump to, so it’s not all that surprising that it turned out to be an inaccurate one as well. Yet, that by itself isn’t the most disappointing thing about The Beef #1. Instead, it’s the story’s utterly familiar setup and stark lack of any meaningful variation that turns this issue into one big missed opportunity.
Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39
By Cat Wyatt
In the last issue of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps we saw Kyle safely back on Mogo, but obviously, Hal is still in quite a bit of danger. Granted, he’s probably doing better with the situation than a lot of people would be (even other Green Lanterns), but it still isn’t an ideal place to be. I’ll admit I’ve been a bit worried about our hero.
With Kyle gone to rally the troops (because this is the Green Lantern Corps we’re talking about, there’s no way they’ll abandon Hal to die), Hal is left alone to deal with Zod and his creepy family. Thankfully Zod seems more than willing to give a monologue or two, giving us a better idea of his plan.
Review: Deathbed #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I don’t particularly like it when reviews spout off comic history or such nonsense like, “Vertigo was Image before Image was.” I get it though; we look for ways to simplify and boil things down to their core. Which is why I will say that Deathbed is the most Image feeling Vertigo comic I have ever read.
Review: Motherlands #2
By Cat Wyatt
Motherlands #2 wastes no time reminding us just how scummy dear old mother (aka Scarlet Sylph) really is. By all appearances, she’s happily soaking in all the attention of being the mother of a known criminal – and by also being one of the bounty hunters going after him. It’s no wonder Tab didn’t want to have to ask her mother for help.
Review: Dagashi Kashi 2 E.04
By Dustin Cabeal
Here I was worried that with the shortened episodes there wouldn’t be as much time for character development. This episode is full of heart. I still lean towards the second episode as my favorite of the season thus far, but this one is really close behind. Hell, upon a second viewing it might actually beat out the second episode, but I’m not going to go back and forth right now.
Review: DARLING in the FRANXX E.04
By Erika Suarez
Episode 4 finally picks up the pace with an accelerating and showy performance. After Zero-two is ordered to save Ichigo’s team once again, Hiro joins her while they rebel against all orders from the APE team.
