Blackhawks #2 – Review

After a promising first issue the second issue fails to live up to its predecessor, but is an interesting read with a great story shaping up and some artwork choices ranging from average to excellent. The characters are less entertaining and the dialogue can get too lengthy, but while far from perfect, the issue is solid.

The technologically advanced team of Blackhawks explore the site of an explosion and run into an armor enforced foe, Titus, who is working for a mysterious employer known simply as mother. With the help of an infected friend the team bring him in for questioning while their captain is chewed out for the Blackhawks’ exposure on the internet.

Stitched #1 – Review

 After watching Garth Ennis’s directorial debut for Stitched, I found myself thinking “This was a terrible waste of 15 minutes of my life.”  It may have been a short film, but it felt  much longer. The premise was boring, the characters were one-dimensional, and the action and gore were both very lackluster. When the comic was finally released, I decided to jump in with an open mind and give Ennis a second shot, despite my reaction to the film. Wow, what a mistake that was. Although Ennis managed to add a little more gore into his story this time around, he couldn’t manage to make the tale any more captivating, and I found myself thinking the exact same thing that I thought after watching the short film: What a waste.

Angel & Faith #3 – Review

It’s Halloween! How about a comic with demons and other spooky stuff? It may only be tangentially related to the holiday, but Angel & Faith #3 is as close as we’re bound to get. Also, it’s good. Sounds like a celebration to me!

We’re starting to get into this series’ run in earnest at this point and, once again, I am impressed by how well writer Christos Gage is able to keep the story moving along. Angel is still hitting the streets of England, looking for a way to revive Giles, and Faith is along for the ride. This is the issue in which they finally hit pay dirt on that goal, as they track down a demonic club owner known to possess a source of panacean demon blood. Amidst the action and clever dialogue, Faith is still the focus for our character development. We get plenty more introspective moments from her as she struggles to balance her badass hot chick image with her new role as a sort of badass hot chick Jiminy Cricket.

The Incredible Hulk #1 – Review

In the midst of the New 52, Marvel is bringing one of their flagship characters back to square one as well. Between “Planet Hulk,” “World War Hulk,” and “Red Hulk/She-Hulk,” the Hulk has been seeing a lot of changes and reboots over the last few years. This book is no exception. If you happened to join me for the end of Marvel’s Fear Itself #7, then you’ll know that after this event, Hulk and Bruce Banner are now two separate entities. What does that mean for the characters and the series? Let’s find out.

Last we saw Hulk (depending on which epilogue you read), he had mysteriously separated himself and Banner into two separate physical entities and then abandoned puny Banner in the desert. Well, it looks like some time has passed since then and both our boys have been busy. Hulk has found his way to a community of friendly yellow-skinned tribespeople and has joined them as a hunter and protector. We get some very cool shots of him destroying lots of monsters while waxing poetic about his life of persecution. This is not the simple-minded Savage Hulk, but the one we have seen lately who has a mind of his own and the intelligence to use it. Also, a sense of drama. Let’s call him “Brooding warrior who has the soul of a poet Hulk.” He even grew a beard. Yes, the simple life is good for our less-than-jolly green giant, but as he and we both know, it can’t last. Soon, there are drills, robots, and hot, no-nonsense secret agents with peculiar names coming out of the proverbial woodwork. And they want Hulk. Why? Apparently Hulk’s better half is showing his bad side.

Justice League Dark #2 – Review

Justice League Dark was the series among the New 52 that I was anticipating most. Featuring some great, but underutilized characters, in a series that deals with the magical crises facing the world that the Justice League can’t tackle is a great premise. Origins from DC’s Vertigo label only added to the potential. The first issue did not disappoint. Now that we are getting underway with the New 52, is Justice League Dark one of the series to take a sophomore slump or is there still plenty of magic left?

Continuing the story from the previous issue, Justice League Dark #2 works to set up who the starring characters are and how they come together to stop the threat posed by an insane Enchantress. Now that all the faces are introduced, author Peter Milligan allows a little closer look at the inner-workings of the characters and what specifically they are doing. Unfortunately, the team is still all separate, which means that we jump around from character to character instead of what we might see with a more singular focus, but the scenes are still handled very well.

Aquaman #2 – Review

With the ridiculously strong debut that Geoff Johns made for Aquaman, it’s hard to not anticipate something just as great with its second issue. But without the element of surprise that caught us all off guard on the first issue, #2 just didn’t seem to have that same kick as its debut. With that said, this is still a fantastic read, both verbally and aesthetically. Geoff Johns keeps the same formula as issue #1, which he executes flawlessly, and Ivan Reis still manages to keep this issue as gorgeous as before, making this an issue worth picking up.

The issue picks up right where we left off, immediately diving into how Arthur and Mera are living together, trying to adjust to life in the world of Aquaman’s father. While browsing through scrapbooks and discussing their plans for living on the surface, there is evil amidst – the Trench. This issue introduces the Trench in a little more depth than before. In short, the Trench are very quick, very ugly, and very hungry. Hungry for humans. This is where the action begins.

Deadpool Max 2 #1 – Review

Oh yeah, bringing Marvel back. And who better to do it with than that over-used B-lister I can’t help but love and some of you probably can’t help but hate, Deadpool! The merc with a mouth is back, as if he ever left, in a new series that continues from the previous Deadpool Max run. Now, since this is a series under the “Max” label, keep in mind that the book earns that “Explicit content” warning. Deadpool Max 2 #1 wants very much for your fragile sensibilities to ask, “Oh dear, did they really just go there?” The answer is unequivocally, “Yes, yes they did.” So, if you can put up with that and you can put up with Deadpool, then come on along.

Superboy #2 – Review

Superboy had similar results as the second issue of Deathstroke, but with a much less disappointing effect.  The first issue was interesting and the second also has it’s moments, but the art is not great and the story and characters have some major flaws.

In this issue, Superboy goes on his first mission outside his virtual reality with the help of Rose Wilson.  Unfortunately, the two meet up with some insane alien sharks who are more than enough to take down Superboy with their immense strength.

Catwoman #2 – Review

This issue of Catwoman is both irritating and thrilling, but far exceeds expectations. After a mediocre first issue the story picks up it’s pace, there are greater action scenes and there is a great interpretation of Selina Kyle that is very cat-like, but Selina’s relationship with Batman and some other characterization will make some fans cringe in disgust. However, that can not overshadow how enjoyable this issue was.

After a steamy night with Batman, Catwoman begins her emotionally prompted vendetta against two mob clans with the help of an ugly old painting.

Deathstroke #2 – Review

When the very first problem your comic has is on the cover, you know you have a bumpy ride ahead of you.  After a promising first issue, Deathstroke seems to have only been a one hit wonder, with this second issue having pure action that is not as much fun as it could be, but barely moves the plot forward while falling prey to several clichés and featuring only one interesting character.

Slade Wilson may be considered an over the hill mercenary who can hold his own, but when his contact betrays him by paying everyone in the bar to kill him Slade takes it a little personally.
