Overall, the comic earns a 4.5 only missing half-a-point for ending too soon. And for making me sit in my apartment alone and wonder ifthe eponymous bounty hunter will ever belooking for his Loba. |

Batman and Robin (2011) #35
Oct 21, 2014 |
While I'll admit I started Peter J. Tomasi's "Robin Rises: Hellbound" a little lost having not read the previous volumes, I will say it was easy enough to fall into step and figure out what was going on within a few pages and frames. It is an uprising of Bats, Robins, Women and Cyborgs all trying to reach Batman and help him on Apokolips despite some on-going League tension. The frames by Patrick Gleason (GLC), Grey, and Salisz are even more detailed than the dialogue, and are the perfect backdrops for each scene from the bowels of hell, to bat caves, to skyscraper rooftops" and what's a Batman & Robin anything without a rooftop scene. |

Rocket Raccoon (2014) #1
Jul 8, 2014 |
The coloring by Jean-Francois Beaulieu (Avengers Arena) heightens the sci-fy galaxy in which Skottie (Marvel's Wizard of Oz comics) Young's alien creatures gather with human-kind alike to set the scenes for a wild Rocket Raccoon raucous. The uses of purples and greens give an immediate depth to the story that sucks you in from the very first frame, and carries you through to the end. The feature film looks to have borrowed the same dark and colored visual tones, and looks to stay true to the sometimes raunchy, and a little campy humor found within Rocket and his fellow Guardians we all know and love on the page. |

Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #1
Aug 26, 2014 |
Van Sciver's artwork does justice to the DC justice league famous femme herself, and I hope to see more novels published with different heroes facing more atypical foes. Overall, I'd rate this digital double-shot a step below perfect for slightly confusing my sexuality with the perfect drawing of Ta-Tas. Let's just say" Her lasso isn't the only thing that might get you to tell the truth. |

The vivid color of the comic perfectly illustrates the differences between settings, not to mention the fact that Wonder Woman has never been drawn better. In fact, if the next comic has frames of her daily workout, Ill probably do them myself. Girl Power. |

Overall this comic earns 3.5 stars, the artwork doing the majority of the story-telling while the dialogue and backwards butterfly effect story took the passengers seat in this part 1 of 4. |

Overall, I'd keep reading out of sheer curiosity and the aesthetically pleasing frames. But first, lemme take a selfie. |

Swamp Thing (2011): Futures End #1
Sep 9, 2014 |
Jesus Saizs (Manhunter) artwork and coloring give a unique identity to each kingdom, while maintaining the marsh-density of Swamp Thing. Overall, Id say it lacks only in action, but excelling in the mystery within its storyline. |

Id be interested to read a few more of these for good character development, and maybe to just keep reinforcing that theory about crazy red-heads. |

The artwork by Menton 3 (The Squidder) is simple and clean with realistic human structure that makes for an easy to read experience, with a coloring that lends itself to an appropriately creepy sci-fi setting. |

There's definitely some girl-power stuff being tried, which is great, but Stjepan eji's story has a little too much crammed into one volume to deeply connect, keep up, identify, or really get attached. Hopefully the story will slow down so they can flush out the rest. And hopefully our editor never makes me review this comic again. |

Swords of Sorrow #1
May 19, 2015 |
The mostly-female storyline & cast (the exception being a Prince who mustve had a really terrible Tindr experience and is looking to start a major set back for gender relations) is greatly appreciated and refreshingly progressive, but the women need to be drawn in a way that they are taken seriously and as mature characters; its hard to take any character seriously whos drawn like they just left their shift on the pole. As a woman who so sincerely WANTS to become a fan of an All-Female-Ass-Kicking-Comic, it shouldnt be too much to ask for more wardrobe choices and words in just such a comic, at least so that the main characters look more like the Swords of Sorrow and less like the Swords that are Swallowed. Heres to hoping Marvels A-Force has much better luck next week |
