Review: Harley Quinn #40
By Cat Wyatt
Issue #39 of Harley Quinn left most of Coney Island in varying levels of chaos. The Penguin’s goons and other enlisted villains have been wreaking merry havoc on the place (especially Killer Croc), Eggy got himself egg-napped (sorry, couldn’t resist), Coach also got kidnapped (what is with this group getting kidnapped all the time), and Harley is taking on more fights than she can handle. In short, it’s a recipe for disaster.
Review: Astra: Lost in Space vol. 2
By Dustin Cabeal
Typically, in manga, when a group of kids is thrown together, they usually become chums. It takes a volume, but it’s so commonplace that it stands out when that doesn’t happen. Even with some of the groundwork being laid out in the first volume, our group of teens lost in space aren’t the best of friends. There’s some that get alone better than others, and two of them still haven’t integrated into the group at all.
Review: Batwoman #13
By Cat Wyatt
Issue #13 of Batwoman starts off with Kate searching desperately for her sister, Elizabeth. She’s on a video conference with the asylum that supposedly is taking care of her, but they’re giving her a BS answer that certainly makes it appear that they’re covering up for her kidnapping (given asylums reputations in the Batman universe, this isn’t terribly shocking. Though it certainly is disappointing). Thankfully Kate already knows who took her, because the asylum is being worse than useless.
Review: Dark Fang #5
By Cat Wyatt
In Dark Fang #4 we were left off with Valla in a very dangerous situation. I’m not going to lie to you; I’ve been very worried about her ever since I read the last issue. This issue picks up right where things left off; with Valla hanging in chains and her captor gloating all the while about his success and his divinity (which I would love to bring into question, based on his actions alone).
Review: Cici’s Journal: The Adventures of a Writer-in-Training
By Dustin Cabeal
Once upon a time seems like a good place to start. That is who Cici’s Journal begins, and I have admittedly been staring at the screen trying to find an opening for this review. Usually, when I start a review I know the tone, be it positive or negative, I know where I stand. The only time this is a struggle is when there are numerous pluses and minuses of the work being reviewed. It leaves you trying to find a starting point because once the review gets started you trust that you’ll figure it all out. At least, that’s how I review, but I’m probably a terrible example.
Review: Batman #43
By Cat Wyatt
Batman #43 ended with a bang, so to speak. Poison Ivy has taken control of almost every human being on the planet (with the obvious exceptions of Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle). Being that they’re two of the last people left with free will, they’re feeling somewhat compelled to try and do something to stop what is happening. During their attempts, Bruce may or may not (read: totally did) pushed Ivy a little much and taken a full Superman punch to the face. Needless to say, that didn’t go over to well.
Review: Peter & Ernesto: A Tale of Two Sloths
By Dustin Cabeal
Peter & Ernesto is exactly what you want from an all-ages story in that it can be enjoyed by a lot of people coming from different moments in their life. For someone like myself, I read almost everything, but I’m also curating my child’s reading experience at the same time. Even though my son is only two and still a bit too young for this story, it’s one that I’m looking forward to sharing with him when he’s older.
Review: Lucy Dreaming #1
By Cat Wyatt
Lucy Dreaming is a new five-part series from BOOM! Studios that’s full of colorful art and an interesting idea come to life (literally). I’ll confess I wanted to give this series a try because Lucy with all her daydreaming and her nose stuck in oddball books reminds me quite a bit of a young me. Though I doubt that’ll be the case once she’s finished going off on all of her crazy adventures.
Review: Kill or Be Killed #17
By Ben Snyder
Each and every new chapter in Kill or Be Killed excites me and leaves me with more and more questions tat I can’t wait to get answered. Kill or Be Killed #17 is no exception as writer Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips deliver another riveting entry. Chapter #17 offers some interesting revelations, and the delivery of them is brilliant if not untrustworthy, but the main success of this issue is how Brubaker toys with the idea that Dylan may not be insane despite being in an asylum.
Review: Scarlett Hart: Monster Hunter
By Dustin Cabeal
When I saw Scarlett Hart: Monster Hunter announced, my gut said I should pass on it. I didn’t because I still like to challenge myself to read things I’m not particularly drawn to or that I’ve judged without reading. Sometimes though, your gut knows you best. Because when I read the titles, looked at the cover and finished with the synopsis, my only thought was, “Sounds generic.”
