Review: Freelance #3

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #3 of Freelance is back; with the team, we’ve been steadily learning about and growing fond of. Lance is the backbone of the team, he’s also the moral center, even if the rest of them may be less than willing to admit that bit. He’s also more or less the focus, being that he’s superhuman (literally) and capable of handling situations most humans wouldn’t survive. John is the ex-con bad boy, with a catch; he’s pretty sweet on Lance (feel free to ship that pairing). And finally, there’s Tasha, the techie and sassy one of the group. Together they take on missions, doing their best to keep the world safe.

Review: Betrothed #1

By Dustin Cabeal

What a surprisingly charming comic. I giggled. Like actually giggled when I read the first six pages. That might not sound like much of a compliment, but laughing is easy. Making some giggle, well that takes charm.

Betrothed is a fantasy story set in high school. It’s roots feel grounded in manga in that we have a chosen boy and a chosen girl that need to save the future of their races. The catch, the charm, is that they have no fucking clue. They meet for the first time in high school, and when the guy touches the girl on the shoulder to get directions, she turns instantly violent. Through their narration and efforts of their friends, we learn that they were both filled with bloodlust upon that touch, but then also something more. I won’t tell you the rest of the scene, but it was a pleasant and fitting surprise.

Review: Motor Crush #10

By Cat Wyatt

With a dramatic cover like the one accompanying issue #10, it’s going to be hard to resist reading this one. Motor Crush #10 starts off with Sullivan Swift (Dom’s father) in a ghastly situation (which maaaay be putting it a bit mildly since I’m pretty sure he’s about to be tortured).  The real question is, does Dom know that her father is in danger, and more importantly, does she even know where to find him?

Review: Batman Beyond #17

By Cat Wyatt

Ever since the last issue of Batman Beyond released, I’ve pretty much been chomping at the bit for this one to come out. We left off with our hero fighting for his life against Stalker. Which is actually worse than it sounds, as there had previously been an understanding between Batman and Stalker. Additionally, Stalker knows Batman’s real identity, which could prove to be the even bigger threat in this fight.

Review: Twisted Romance #4

By Cat Wyatt

It’s time for the fourth and final issue of Twisted Romance. I’ll admit I’m sad to see it go, but all things must come to an end, right? In this issue we once again are gifted with three stories, Treasured is the first story (also the one shown on the cover), followed by Unbound (the text story for the issue), and finally, Legacies finishes off the series.

Review: Batgirl #20

By Cat Wyatt

In Batgirl #19 we last saw Burnside suffering from a sudden and unexpected snow storm (courtesy of a hacked weather app). If that wasn’t odd enough, that fact combined with Penguin being…kind and helpful was certainly enough to get Batgirl’s attention. Issue #20 concludes the story that’s already begun.

Review: Rat Queens v2 #8

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #8 of the Rat Queens doesn’t waste any time, throwing us right into the thick of things. The opening scene is that of Hannah and Sawyer Silver on a ship facing towards what has to be the gloomiest island I’ve ever seen. That combined with Sawyer’s statement of ‘this is the end,’ and I’m more than a little concerned about what is happening to Hannah, and worried about where the rest of the Queens are.

Review: Raven: Daughter of Darkness #2

By Kelly Gaines

*Obligatory spoiler warning, which I apologize for not including more often*

Raven: Daughter of Darkness #2 is an in-depth look at a half demon’s crash course in empathy. Raven, current alias Rachel, is splitting her time between typical high school and telepathic superhero business. We left off with Raven coming face to face with a superhuman creature. The girl, who Raven calls Azure, is able to conjure horrifying illusions straight out of her enemy's nightmares; a power that currently leaves Raven in a tight spot. Raven is unable to tell if she’s the hunter or hunted but remains as determined as ever to help Azure- if helping her is possible at all.

Review: Lumberjanes #47

By Cat Wyatt

Do you think the Lumberjanes will ever get tired of their explorations and adventures? We saw in the last issue that they’re capable of getting scared (not that I blame them, ’The Voice’ is super creepy). Beyond that, I’m not sure these girls are capable of slowing down. When we last saw our campers back in issue #46, they were back in their cabins, but there’s a hitch (isn’t there always for this group?); while they had given up on their quest, their newly acquired friend did not.

Review: The Silencer #2

By Cat Wyatt

To recap, the Silencer is a new DC series about a woman named Honor (ironic, I know) who is a retired assassin. In the last issue, we were introduced to her quiet home life, which was then rudely interrupted when her ex-organization’s enemy decided to try and go after her again. The second issue continues showing us the fallout from those actions and events.
