Review: Scales and Scoundrels #9

By Cat Wyatt

Issue number 9 of Scales and Scoundrels is more of a standalone comic, with no connection to the previous plots. That being said, I think this may actually be my favorite issue so far. With Luv having completed all the missions she’s started so far, she’s off looking for a new one, and it doesn’t take long for her to find one (naturally).

Review: Sex Criminals #24

By Hunter T. Patrick

For Sex Criminals, as for all comics, you should always give credit for everyone involved, at least for the writer and the artist, not just one (unless this person is freakishly talented, lucky S.O.B). Fraction and Zdarsky’s compliments for one another are astonishing. Issue 24 does not have many hidden background jokes (at first inspection) like the other comics, but man does that opening scene look great as the artwork always does. The writing and art from the first few pages might be some of my favorite for this entire arc. It is nice, quiet, insightful, and surprisingly not too sexual. Darn.

Review: Sherlock Holmes – The Vanishing Man #1

By Cat Wyatt

Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Vanishing Man is a new story from the minds of Leah Moore and John Reppion; their goal is to fill in the gaps and tell us the tales that Sherlock Holmes has always been referencing and alluding to; the adventures that happened before and in between the classic tales we all know and love.

Review: Street Angel Goes to Juvie

By Sam King

Street Angel is a 12-year old homeless skateboarding girl. In this story, she goes to juvie in order to perform a secret mission. I had never heard of Street Angel before, but I thought this was pretty fun. It isn’t as short as a typical comic issue, but it also isn’t as long as some graphic novels. It clocks in around 40 pages, so it a brief, yet entertaining read.

Review: Coda #1

By Cat Wyatt

Coda is a new series by BOOM! Studios. It’s about a man named Hum who’s on an epic quest to save his wife. It’s described as being perfect for fans of Mad Max and Lord of the Rings, which may very well be true (I don’t know about the Mad Max bit, being as I still haven’t gotten around to seeing it, but I can at least vouch for the Lord of the Rings part). It’s a post-apocalyptic world involving magic, wastelands, oh and did I mention that the main character has a pentacorn (picture a unicorn but with five horns instead of the usual one).

Review: Green Lanterns #46

By Cat Wyatt

Things have been pretty rough for our Green Lantern duo the past few hours. Jessica is reliving one of the worst memories of her life (and she’s doing so by choice, believe it or not), and Simon is trying to deal with the resulting black hole it created and his rescue mission (no way is he leaving his partner to go through this on her own).

Review: Stellar #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s an adage, “Name your wrestlers like you’d name your children.” The thought process behind this is that you don’t name someone something that can be easily turned cruel. Of course, most people think of cruel rhymes first, but easy targets like “Stellar” which have more than one meaning, are also easy targets. I’m not saying this to be cruel; I’m just pointing out how easy it's going to be for this title.

Review: Harley Loves Joker #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

After binge reading the Harley Loves Joker backup stories in Harley Quinn’s solo title did I feel sufficiently prepared for this. I figured those were optional, but they most definitely were not optional to understand as this issue takes very little time catching people up after roughly a year since these backups were released. No holding back (except for the quick recap as stated) makes this issue all the stronger for it. Things ended with a cliffhanger, and this feels identical to the backups, just in a full-length format now. Seeing this as a two-issue miniseries as marketed is wrong, this issue is a full epilogue/continuation to the story previously as it should be.

Review: Flavor #1

By Dustin Cabeal

There has been a slew of cooking-themed comics in the past year. While manga has always dominated the genre and found new and interesting ways to present it, the Western comics are still getting their footing. The problem tends to be the story itself. The rules for cooking and the setting are always interesting, but then the stories seem to spend more time reminding you of the concept than building on it. Unfortunately, Flavor isn’t looking to be much different.
