Review: Red Sonja/Tarzan #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I have never read an issue of Red Sonja in my life. What’s more, I’m only familiar with Tarzan at all because of the Disney film of the same name, and I haven’t seen that for something like a decade, if not longer. Gail Simone, on the other hand, is a slightly different story. Granted, I’ve not yet read nearly as much as her work as I should have, but, from what I have read, she’s a very skilled writer, and she very much continues to be one here. Because despite going into this crossover book knowing as outright little about two franchises that, frankly, I didn’t remotely care about, she had me fully hooked by this issue’s midpoint.
Review: Action Comics Special #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I love Superman. Plain and simple. When I was a kid, I only really liked him because, well, I was a kid, and he was a superhero. The superhero. And, for a few teenage years, I didn’t like him for all of the easy, low hanging fruit reasons to dislike him. He’s too strong. He’s boring. His one weakness is too readily available. Blah blah blah. But, when I finally sat down and actually read books like Superman: Birthright, Superman: Secret Identity, Kingdom Come, and All-Star Superman, I quickly came to love him for everything he truly embodies. So, you better believe I was hyped when I found out that, among other things, Rebirth meant the original Superman was returning to the limelight. Now, just a couple of weeks ago Action Comics #1000 came out and paid thorough homage to the legacy of the Man of Steel. Admittedly, I stopped reading Action Comics after a couple of months, mainly because I found the other Clark Kent (when that was still a thing) to be insufferable. However, I absolutely picked up that issue, and it was fantastic. So, I am kind of surprised to see Action Comics Special #1 come out this week. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems a bit strange, maybe even pointless, to release a special right after the infinitely more special 1000th issue.
Review: Blackwood #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Listen… I’m all in on this crazy shit. I was basically all in when I read “Evan Dorkin,” but after the first several pages, I’m all in. I have no idea if this is a mini or continuing or one of those limbo series that will be picked up for more depending on the popularity, but comics like Blackwood have been missing in comics and more so missing from Dark Horse. I feel like Dark Horse at some point didn’t like their identity in comics and sought something different. Honestly, I don’t know what others think of them anymore, but horror themed comics of this quality are hard to find outside of Dark Horse.
Review: The Last Siege #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Like most people that are likely going to pick up this comic, I knew nothing about it going in. At the time of writing this, I believe that it’s recently announced so there might not be a ton of awareness for The Last Siege. The first thing to note is that the meaning behind the title completely escapes me, but that’s perfectly fine. Not every title needs or should be easy to decipher.
Review: Come Into Me #2
By Garrett Hanneken
This comic feels like a ticking time bomb. A time bomb that, quite literally, dwells in the mind.
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).
