Lady Mechanika #2 – Review

Lady Mechanika returns this week after some delay which Aspen is probably not too thrilled about since the first two issues (one of them was a zero issue) sold out and quickly became a hot property for them. Now it’s been a few months and retailers are probably unhappy that interest has dwindled in the book and Aspen is probably even less thrilled about it. To make it up they’re releasing a double-sized issue containing the zero and the first issue. Some fans and retailers may still be unhappy about the delay, but to be fair it happens in comics far too often. With a property like this you need Joe Benitez’s art to carry the book or you end up with Final Crisis with as many artists as possible to finish the book on time.

Hellraiser #3 – Review

I really have to wonder how the hell this series can get any better. The style of storytelling changes slightly with each issue, but its consistently better each issue. It’s as if the story is building towards some epic battle between humanity and hell and the outcome could very well tear hell apart if humanity were to win.

Dollhouse: Epitaphs #1 – Review

This is the book that Whedon addicts have been waiting for. If there’s one thing the world should know, it’s that you don’t cancel a Joss Whedon show without regretting it when it becomes a hit comic book. The popularity of the Buffy comic continuing the TV season feel of the show has brought in readers that would not ordinarily have read comics, but wanted their TV fix, to the world of comics. The latest edition to try this out is two season flop Dollhouse. Granted flop might be a bit harsh and yes Fox the king of cancelling had a lot to do with that. Regardless, it’s cancelled and now in comic form with Jed Whedon at the helm.

Loose Ends #1 – Review

There are several parts at play in this story that keep it grounded in reality, even if that reality is the underbelly of society. We’re introduced to a cast of characters in this issue as well, which is typically of drug/heist movies, lots of cogs all in motion waiting for the reader to get caught in-between the gears.Loose Ends is a surprisingly good read and an impressive addition to 12 Gauge Comics’ library.

B.P.R.D. – Hell On Earth: Monsters #1

I don’t read a lot of B.P.R.D. and the last issue I read was a very revealing origin story for Elizabeth the Pyrotechnic. This issue has her on her own and away from the B.P.R.D.  and living in a trailer park with two random dudes. She comes home to find a poker game in her kitchen and is really pissed off about it, so pissed that she kicks one of the players in the mouth. After that everyone clears out pretty quickly and Liz decides to head to bed leaving the two remaining men to clean up the blood and mess.

Hellboy: The Fury #2 – Review

The second issue of the “The Fury” is out and it falls a bit short of the greatness of the first issue. It’s still a well told story with amazing art, but this middle issue is just that… the middle. The greatness of the issue is the battle between Hellboy and the Dragon that runs throughout the entire issue. It literally starts on page seven and goes to the end of the issue ending in a Dragon Ball Z-esc cliffhanger.

Elric: The Balance Lost #1 – Review

To be honest I didn’t really know what to expect from this issue. Sure I had read the preview and that had me interested in the series for sure, but then there was the fact of the matter that the preview wasn’t really going to be a part of the series. Then there was the fact that Chris Roberson was writing it and he’s never struck me as an amazing writer. iZombie was decent at first mostly impart to Mike Allred’s art, but the series never reached that level of amazing after a solid twelve issues. Then there’s Starborn, which is easily the weakest of the three Stan Lee projects. Not only did this series start off with a different pacing and tone than the other three, it just really seemed like it had potential. But again it still hasn’t plateaued into greatness like Soldier Zero has.

Zatanna #14 – Review

The character Zatanna is one of the better known lesser-known characters of the DCU. She is one of the Justice League’s greatest magical allies, but she tends to keep to herself and her career as a stage magician when not needed. The series Zatanna is one that has been surprisingly consistent in quality from issue to issue. With a mix of stage lights and gore the art has varied from decent to impressive and veteran writer Paul Dini has been keeping the character fun, even when delving into darker stories. Having said that, this is easily the worst issue so far.

Conan: The Frazetta Cover Series #8 – Review

Conan seems like a really easy character to write for and that’s why so many writers have tried to tackle him over the years. At his core Conan is the biggest brute that over powers every enemy with his sword or strength and usually both. He’s the first Incredible Hulk, stronger than the rest and always willing to prove it in a fight. In my opinion you don’t change Conan, you simple throw interesting things at him. In a way the world is revolving around him and it’s the writer’s job to make the world interesting, not Conan. This is where the majority of writer’s will fail as they attempt their take on the character and attempt to add layers to the man who cannot be defeated.

Batman: Arkham City #1 & 2 – Review

Batman: Arkham City is a five issue mini-series that bridges the gap between 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum video game and this year’s sequel, the appropriately named Batman: Arkham City. Basically, this is the story that will attempt to wrap up the aftermath of the first game and show the events that lead up to the second game, namely, the founding of Arkham City and Batman’s role in it. It seems like more and more video game releases are accompanied by a comic book one shot or mini-series these days. Mass Effect did it. The Witcher did it. More often than not these accompanying books read like exactly that: an extra you get with the game that provides a few minutes of fun and a bit more back story on the events of the game. Of course, the scenario we see before us now is that of a video game based on a comic book getting a comic book based on the game. Does this mean readers can expect more from this series than most game-based books or does it look like this series will simply continue the trend?
