Doom Patrol#11 really, really should’ve come out before Milk Wars. I already knew that going in, but after reading through it, it’s pretty baffling that DC would ever let that event happen before this issue. From setting up Milkman Man to establishing this version of Cliff as being from fanfiction to explaining where the Doom Patrol just came from and what they’re talking about at the beginning of JLA/Doom Patrol Special #1, several things from Milk Wars make considerably less sense without first being touched upon here. All that being said, Doom Patrol #11 is itself a great issue with a lot going on in it.

034 - Back finally with a new episode! Really I finally had something worth talking about, too bad for you it's all comics you can't read yet! That's right; I have six new issues to talk about that will either be out at the end of the month or next month. I'd usually list them right now, but you can head over to the review section and get a preview if you need one. Otherwise, just be surprised.

Wormworld Saga Vol. 1 is exactly the kind of story I would have wanted to read as a kid. It is beautifully illustrated, the story is solid, and the main character is very likable and relatable. This is a perfect graphic novel for kids, especially those who are into fantasy but may not be quite ready for the length of Lord of the Rings or who prefer visual mediums. It is a beautiful work that I would love to read more of. It is a digital comic that has been officially online for a while now. The first chapter was published online in 2010, and now the series has been picked up for publishing by Lion Forge Comics imprint Cub House which prints comics for kids 12 and under.

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.

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.

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.

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.
