Review: The Man of Steel #6

By Garrett Hanneken

With the announcement that Brian Michael Bendis will be writing the forthcoming Superman titles starting with The Man of Steel, I would say most people wanted to check out The Man of Steel first before diving into his Superman or Action Comics. The reason being, so people can get a taste as to how Bendis will handle Superman. Now that The Man of Steel has ended, fans will either feel a need to continue with Bendis’ Superman, feel let down, or feel indifferent about everything. With that said, I would have to go with the latter.

Review: Portal Bound #4

By Cat Wyatt

Portal Bound #4 is the second to last in the series, and we still have quite a bit to deal with before it’s all said and done. In the last issue, Sybil ran off, intent to save her kingdom on her own. That would have been well and good, except she destroyed the portal on her way. That and there’s the fact that she and Eli are soul-bound, meaning that if she dies so does Eli. That makes this move of hers a bit more selfish than it looked at first glance. Hopefully, this issue will have the team getting back together.

Review: Jeepers Creepers #3

By Damien Becton

In my previous review of Marc Andreyko and Dynamite Entertainment’s adaptation of the 2001 horror movie, I stated that if you were a fan of the film like I am, then you would probably enjoy the book. I also stated that if you weren’t a fan of the cult classic, then you would have a hard time getting into the issue. With issue number three, the previous statements still hold true. But now even fans of the book may feel this book grow just a little bit tiresome and repetitive.

Review: Rocko's Modern Life #6

By Hunter T. Patrick

Just a wallaby with his dog. The issue picks up where the last one leaves off with Rocko losing his trusted dog as his dog became a viral internet star and was taken away for a life of glory, away from his trusted owner. The issue goes back and forth between Rocko and his dog showing how miserable Rocko is, just wanting his dog back, to his dog just being a dog and not really having any comprehension for most of the issue of what is wrong. Rocko’s friends try to help him out, but sadly nothing will please Rocko more than having his simple life returned. The issue itself serves as a typical story for a beginning, middle, and an ending that leads directly into the next issue, which is stronger than the last issues twist. Similar to previous issues there is a backup story simply about cutting the grass, which of course gets over exaggerated in a huge fashion.

Review: Giant Days #40

By Cat Wyatt

It’s time for another issue of Giant Days! Giant Days #40 brings us, Ed Gemmell, back, finally, but naturally, there’s an adjustment period to be had. It was revealed in the last issue that Ed had been avoiding all forms of contact with Esther, under the crazy belief that this would somehow fix what happened. Let’s hope he does better this time around…

Review: Tangled #3

By Sam King

IDWs new ongoing Disney comic expands on the adventures in the Disney Channel animated show, Tangled: The Series. The show began with a made-for-TV movie entitled Tangled: Before Ever After, in which Rapunzel gets her magical hair back. The second season premiered recently under a new title: Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The show was renewed for a third season, but the comic continues to carry the original series name.

Review: Death or Glory #3

By Damien Becton

With the previous two issues of Death or Glory, Remender and Bengal find their footing by effectively establishing the characters and craziness that takes place in their story. With the third issue of the book, the two creators turn it into a full-on sprint. Easily the best issue in the series so far, Death or Glory #3 manages to effectively mix engaging action and thrills with captivating and genuine character development.

Review: Green Lanterns #50

By Cat Wyatt

This issue of the Green Lanterns is the 50th, and therefore it’s certainly got something special in mind. For one thing, it’s longer than the standard issue, with a few extra pages thrown in for our benefit. The issue itself is titled ‘Evil’s Might Part One’ which certainly doesn’t sound good. It doesn’t look like they’re doing a tie-in with what has been happening in Hal Jordan, which means we’re about to see another major event happening in the outer universe for DC.

Review: Catwoman #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Keep reading this review if you have read Batman #50 (meow if so), or if sadly Batman #50 was spoiled for you (hiss). Do not keep reading if you have not found out what happens in the "historic" Batman #50.

Seven Seas Licenses LGBT+ Manga SHIMANAMI TASOGARE by Yuhki Kamatani

Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of Yuhki Kamatani’s Shimanami Tasogare. Best known for their series Nabari no Ou, Kamatani’s skill as a creator is mesmerizing in this beautiful coming-of-age story about identity and relationships in our ever-expanding world.

Not only is high schooler Tasuku Kaname the new kid in town, he’s also terrified that he’s been outed as gay. Just as he’s contemplating doing the unthinkable, Tasuku meets a mysterious woman who leads him to a group of people dealing with problems not so different from his own. In this realistic, heartfelt depiction of LGBT+ characters from different backgrounds finding their place in the world, a search for inner peace proves to be the most universal experience of all.

“Shimanami Tasogare really is something special,” says Seven Seas Marketing Manager Lianne Sentar. “It manages to represent so many different ways that people shape their identities and find their unique spaces, which is something anyone can relate to. It’s no wonder this compelling drama has resonated with so many people.”

Seven Seas will publish the manga Shimanami Tasogare for the first time in North America in single volume editions. Volume 1 will be released on May 7, 2019 for $12.99 USA / $15.99 CAN.

By Damien Becton

This week saw the relaunch of Marvel's The Sentry, written by the comic book industry's utility man, Jeff Lemire and art by Kim Jacinto. With this relaunch (and the Fantastic Four next month), I began thinking about some Marvel and DC characters, teams, and titles that currently don't have their own books, that deserves one. So, here are my top 5 Marvel and DC characters and teams that deserve their own relaunches.
