Birds Of Prey (2011): Futures End #1

Sep 30, 2014

This female-driven comic really sets itself apart with the intriguing story line and twist and turns. Throw in some excellent visuals from Robson Rocha (Superboy) and Oclair Albert (Demon Knights), and this one-shot winds up a simple " yet highly enjoyable " comic, with just the right feminist edge. Thank you DC and Christy Marx. Well played.

Catwoman (2011) #35

Oct 27, 2014

This is a fun new take on Catwoman that really makes her a strong character, not to mention resemble the HECK out of Anne Hathaway (approve!). I would have liked to see Miss Annie in a little more action in the catsuit, but I am excited to see what the new issues brings for Gothams head nemesis. They try to compare her to the leader of England, Elizabeth I, but I feel as though maybe Selina will come back to the side she knew before and fight alongside her desired bat-toy. One can only dream. Kudos to artist Brown for making Batman oh-so-kissable, with just a touch of man scruff. I will sleep well tonight.

Chastity #1

Jul 15, 2014

My thoughts on the reboot? I think is sucked, literally. The original Chastity had depth and courage, one your Priestess can relate to " not only because I actually went to RADA " since I was that girl who ran away from home when I was 17 and obsessed with Anne Rice. It's a shame that Andreyko changed the story to be more "fitting for our tweenie vampire age", yet still in no way is this comic comparable to the beauty of Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire series. Kudos to Dave Acosta (The Fallen) for the beautiful visuals, but I just can't get past Chastity's otherwise lack of"bite.

Cluster #1

Feb 10, 2015

Kudos to Brisson for writing yet another great female lead (hell, he writes a solid Gemma in the SOA comic) in Samara, who is as complex as they come. It should be interesting to see which route she takes among all the madness.Cluster #1also left me with as many political questions, too, especially with the cliffhanger ending And no, Sylvester Stallone doesnt show up. This sci-fi venture is sure to be out of this world fun and a little bit trouble-making.

Grayson: Futures End #1

Sep 9, 2014

Now, he must conquer The Beast, aka President Anatoli Knyazev. With art by Stephen Mooney (Angel), this is sure to get some great coverage. This comic [series] reads the future to past, so at first I was trying to pick up all the hints King leaves as to whom this comic is really about. Everything fell into place very smoothly, and I really enjoyed the ending. There is a bit of romance for Dick within the comic that felt contrived, but the girl was hot, so what else was he supposed to do but get some. Right?

Howtoons: [Re]Ignition #1

Aug 12, 2014

Co-created by Nick Dragotta (East of West), this story begins with Tuck and Celine. Their parents put the whole family in suspended animation to ride out the ecological apocalypse occurring on planet Earth. However, when the kids wake up, they discover Mom and Dad are missing. Thus begins their journey to search for their parents. I found this comic immensely intriguing and entertaining. It's filled with fabulous "how-to's," since Tuck and Celine can only use their "Howtoons tools" to survive. A marshmallow gun made out of tubing, a face mask made out of plastic, and a working flashlight made out of cardboard! Thank you Image Comics for putting out a great piece of literature that is not only informative about our planet's eco-system, but also teaches kids how to be inventive and MacGuyver-like.

Imagine Agents #2

Nov 26, 2013

Because of its great pacing, many humorous/curious moments, and panels of absolute eye-splendor (sort of Invinciblesque), Imagine Agents is a comic series that I actually promise to finish.

POP #1

Sep 3, 2014

A sudden "cut to" to "Dustin Beaver," another manufactured star from the facility getting his knee cap blown off. Talk about a silly and over-the-top but still interesting concept! This Priestess feels pop culture is being used to make something "interesting."

Red Hood And The Outlaws: Futures End #1

Sep 30, 2014

Nothing "Fresh 'n Easy" about this comic, which felt more like a recycled bag I use over and over at"the aforementioned grocery store.

Uncanny X-Men (2013) Annual #1

Dec 15, 2014

With Andrea Sorrentinos artistic touch and Marvel behind this comic, it will do very well. I'm already for the second one. So if you're reading this Brian, thanks for making me into a superhero! The legend of Eva will live on through the time entire universe! Or, at least, in the Marvel World.
