Beaubridges reviewed Suicide Jockeys #1 Oct 26, 2021
Such a fun start to a series. It's like watching an 80s action movie in the best way. I really like the protagonist also. He's a big jerk, but you love him anyway. Five stars.
Ten years after a catastrophic mission gone wrong, Denver Wallace, leader of the Suicide Jockeys - a poor, usually drunken, almost certainly mentally ill crew of monster-fighting, tank-and-aircraft-piloting suckers - must pick himself up off of the proverbial and literal floors, slap his estranged, desperately-fractured team back together an...
Beaubridges reviewed Aberrant: Season 2 #1 Oct 6, 2019
The "2nd season" starts off with such a bang. I can't wait to see this thing as a TV series. David turning the table on Cordrey int he end was beautifully written and well earned.
Chapter 1: "I Need A Hero." As a wholly new and delightfully twisted story arc begins, David is forced to team with the man he hates most (and trusts the least) to complete a key mission. Disgraced former superhero Lance Cordrey wonders if he has one last save-the-world push left in him.

Really loved watching Raines come completely off the rails in this one. I won't spoil the big twist with the girl, but it's really juicy. Love this series.
Chapter 4: "One Bold Move." The first story arc of Hollywood screenwriter/Aberrant-scribe Rylend Grant's delightfully twisted deconstruction of the superhero genre comes to a rousing crescendo. Despite losing everything he holds dear in the wake of Mason's assault on the Gyrotech HQ, Raines still refuses to step up to his former mentor... so, a wel...

Holy hell this is an intense issue. I'm really loving the black and white stuff with the fortune teller. Hopefully, she becomes a recurring character. The fight scenes are out of this world. MORE! MORE!
"Chapter 3: A Mission From God." Hollywood screenwriter/Aberrant-scribe Rylend Grant's delightfully twisted deconstruction of the superhero genre kicks things up a notch. Abel Raines' gratuitously armed and armored Cerberus teams hunt crusader-turned-crazed-vigilante Laird Mason day and night. Just when it looks like all is lost, America's f...

Lights out first series. Best series I've read in a while. Can't wait to dig into Series 2. I love the math popping up around the genius guy while he's thinking. Great device. And that hooded monster character is really damn entertaining.
"Chapter 5: God Damn It." A silver-tongued Nelson Little must talk a checked-out David into saving the man he still thinks may be responsible for the death of his men.

BEST ISSUE YET! I can't believe they went and changed the protagonist on us.
Chapter 4: "I Believe I Can Fly." Global political hell breaks loose when Russia's Bond villain of a President cavalierly announces that he is pressing into service the world's first aberrant military unit. In a desperate attempt to restore order, Article 13's mole inside NORCO makes a truly audacious move. Featuring the music of R&B superstar R. K...

Really loving this comic. Binge reading it on the holiday. The introduction of the big hooded Jason Voorhees-like baddie is killer. The cover on this one is REALLy striking.
Chapter 3: Hold On For One More Day. Acting on a tip from a mysterious and very prolific mole inside the NORCO organization, David infiltrates an enemy warehouse where he is forced to square off with a terrifyingly twisted aberrant monster. World, meet the true 8th wonder of the world, Rook. Featuring the music of Wilson-Phillips.
Beaubridges reviewed Aberrant #2 Jul 4, 2019
Great, snappy issue. Love that the bar featured in this issue is modeled after the bar in the TV show cheers.
After leaving the Army to join the ranks of Article 13, David is doggedly pursued by a mysterious group of mercenaries and his commanding officer/mentor makes one last deperate effort to bring him back into the Task Force Whiskey Six fold.

The 2nd issue is even better than the first. I don't usually dig cape stuff, but this is really turning out to be a deeply interesting character study.
"Chapter 2: Where's Our Hero?" When cancer-ridden former superhero Laird Mason launches a violent and misguided Death Wish-like campaign to purge the city of super-villains before he dies, his straight-laced protégé, Abel Raines, is tasked with bringing him in. The problem? Raines isn't remotely up to the task. A story presented exclusive...

Holy frak, did this one melt my face. This is the most amazingly well done first issue of a series i have ever seen point blank period. This is the first book out this week that I have read and this sets the bar amazing high for the rest of what I am reading. The way that we see the story & plot development unfold through the pacing and the character development is so effin good.
Chapter 1: The Cure. A wholly original and delightfully twisted deconstruction of the superhero genre by Hollywood screenwriter/Aberrant-scribe Rylend Grant. Liard Mason, a disgraced former superhero, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, brought on by years of using his powers. Defending what he has deemed an ungrateful and ultimately unworthy city i...

Damn, this thing is good! It feels just like BLACK HAWK DOWN with superheroes. Great dark, gritty art. Smartly arranged. The use of popular music is really affecting. I can't wait for issues 2!
A U.S. Army Special Operations Commander, distraught after losing his entire unit to a superhuman attack, wages an absolutely brutal one-man war on the eccentric billionaire and former superhero that he believes is ultimately responsible.
