I do hope that Image decides to continue this beyond its planned four-issue run because the spandex clad medium of the comic book has been screaming for a book like this, one that can do for the war genre what Walking Dead and 30 Days of Night did for horror. |

30 Days of Night #8
Jun 5, 2012 |
This book is equally about the heroes and the villains and both are being developed and written incredibly. Caring about the outcomes of what are essentially two stories in one is a melodramatic home run as we know the outcome can only be good for one party. Should you be lucky enough to stumble into this book you keep reading it. |

30 Days of Night #9
Jul 30, 2012 |
The violence that spills over into the human world seems more poignant than before as we've had a chance to become invested in the human characters that are trying to make sense of this violence, and in turn are finding out more than they should. 30 Days of Night has honestly never been as good as it is now. |

The action is good, violent and is full of logical complications but it still feels like I'm just an observer to events as opposed to being apart of them. Perhaps there's a slow burning subtly to the characters in all this that I'm missing as I read this month to month. |

Artifacts #20

The art is heavy on the digitally painted look but it's one of the better examples out there. Stjepan Sejic draws as if he's channeling Norman Rockwell by way of Clayton Crain and it works wonders for this returning to my roots by way of haunter hospital tale. I'm excited as I thought I'd run out of worthwhile books to read. A bit of Amazon exploring as shown me that the Top Cow Universe has quite the richly layered back catalogue that'll now be taking up a good amount of my paycheck. |

This issue is the last in a small arc that been setting up to current goings on with Rachel Harrison, bearer of the Heart Stone, which has been giving us some great slow burning character development that is often absent from team books. A small subplot involving Tom Judge also comes to an end and segued nicely into what I can imagine is the plot focus of the next arc, a supernatural serial killer, which I imagine Tom will be hunting down. I really appreciate the confidence that they're showing in these lesser-known characters, as this book could've easily become Witchblade and Friends. |

The bottom line is that I'm happy they're continuing Liefeld's characters, as I don't think that man gets near enough credit for his contributions to the medium, but his characters seem to only work because of Liefeld in and of himself. Like it or not, he is a writer and an artist whose work is very difficult to emulate and without him at the helm, Bloodstrike is a team better left as a 90's memory. |

The original premise was cute but I don't think they ever did enough with the concept that had so many interesting avenues it could have gone in and now it's all over the place without any real identity. With all sorts of out of control characters and concepts so the book lacks any real focus and feels a lot like I'm reading a Ren & Stimpy comic instead of the comic that began as a book about a quirky Detective with a unique ability |

Cobra #14

Cobra is a book whose main objective is plot complexity at a time when a lot of books are too focused playing it safe to bring in new readers and I'm all the happier for it. Writer Mike Costa realizes that he's playing with familiar characters and an easily understandable plot motivation so there's no need to pander, he writes a well layered G.I. Joe book for adult readers and leaves the fanboy trappings behind. |

Creator Owned Heroes #5
Oct 15, 2012 |
This time around we're treated on an incredibly fun James Bondish tale called Killswitch, and a Western called Black Sparrow. Killswitch was great to the point that I hope it gets its own series soon. It's really just James Bond if he moved to the private sector as opposed to killing for MI6. If you like Bond you'll like this. Black Sparrow seem like it could be good but it was too slow of an opening chapter to really catch my attention. Add to this that the cliffhanger leads me to believe that a genre twist is about to happen and you've go something I'm only half interested in as with the switch from western to horror next chapter we'll have to have a re-establishing chapter. Based on the lack of thrills from the first establishing chapter I'm not holding my breath. |

I wouldn't even consider this a comic as it reads more like someone's zombie script being printing on a horror fans graphic design portfolio.

All you really need to know is that problems just compounded the further along this book went thereby stripping any excitement or deeper understanding of the story or characters in this final chapter, which had I they succeeded in making me interested in the story, still would have had one of the most blas and anti-climactic endings I've read in a while. Ultimately not a single character issue is resolved and the who, what, and where of what's going on is still kind of unclear. |

This is my first issue of Fatale as I'd been waiting for the trade, which I suppose would be out now and I should get around to ordering, and it's everything I expected; a tightly crafted noir thriller involving lots of parties who host a myriad of complicated motivations and back-stories. What I didn't expect was the stories hinging on a Mansonesque cult or that there would be supernatural underpinnings. I find myself quite happy about it as it helps this book distinguish itself from Criminal. |

G.I. Joe Vol. 2 #16
Aug 14, 2012 |
G.I. JOE is a book that somehow manages to be complicated and clear as day at the same time. It usually juggles about four intertwining plot threads while still dropping the occasional scene that foreshadows threats that have yet to come. This issue sees the current arc come to an end as all four of these plot threads skillfully come together in a combat heavy conclusion while giving us not one but two separate tidbits about threats to come as well as setting up the next major arc, which looks like it may be the Joes being forced underground as Cobra's grip on the U.S. government grows stronger. |

There's nothing wrong with this book. I liked the art and coloring, it had style, successful facial emoting, great framing, and fit the book. The writing works well, characters and situations are easily fleshed out without unnecessary exposition. The only problem I see with it is that there's nothing really different about it except for it's a competently written fantasy book and though competently written it's still just fantasy book that re-uses the same story model over and over again; multiple mythic races, a fragile peace between them, their reluctant warrior savior, and all for the fate of the unremarkable weak world of Earth where our weak race stands along side our unlikely savior |

Green Hornet #27
Aug 28, 2012 |
While I love the series as a whole, this issue definitely was one of the weaker ones. The final chapter of the current story arc, it doesnt go out with the bang it felt like they were building towards. Mostly were treated to a repeat of the same brawl between the Green Hornet and his imposter that we saw last issue, though seemingly less plausible this time around as theyd nearly beaten each other to death last time. There was just no energy to the fight sequence, as you knew the villain was already beaten, it just turns into a slugfest until he escapes. It felt as if they needed to squeeze in an action scene so that the whole issue wouldnt be epilogue, which after the lackluster fight its just that, an epilogue. Lots of loose ends are tied up and addressed and the Green Hornet champions his renewed vigor and purpose. All is right with the world, now lets continue the war on crime. Overall it felt like what it was, a closing chapter. |

Aug 22, 2012 |
All and all this is a good time to get into Grimm Fairy Tales as prison arcs by nature tend to be very self contained brutally awesome. It's fun to watch character with their back to a wall but when their back is to four walls there isn't much left for the writer to do, as possible antagonists in this sort of story are kind of limited, so the end result is usually a great exploration of character. It's a little early to tell where they're going with this but I'd like to find out. |

I really liked this. Concept wise it's not terribly new, there is some sort of dimensional bleed between realities and various technologies and people are passing between the parallel Earths and that's fine with me, this is the kind of concept that has a lot to explore. It reminds me a little of the show Fringe if you were to take out the investigation of weird science and just fast-forward to the black ops between dimensions. However my liking of this kind of concept is now what floor me about this book it was the ending. |

For those out there who are in the same position I was I can tell you now that you're used to the Marvel or DC pantheons you could pick up this series at this issue and figure it out just fine. As I said, the concepts aren't anything you haven't read before; you just haven't read them done right until now. |

Maybe it's just me but when you start telling me the story with narration and them concurrently show me the same story in pictures you better be doing more with those boxes than just reiterating what I'm looking at. It's redundant and a device that a writer with as much experience as Robert Krikman should have either avoided or made damn sure was done right, with the narration and pictures telling two separate but different stories that give significant insight into one another. Color me disappointed. |

It's hard to root for Tarzan when one minute he's scolding his captor for hunting and the next he's ruthlessly tearing the throat out of a man whose fighting to save his family. That being said, the violence was pretty exciting and the art serviced the gore well although there is a heavy-handed use of computer modeling that lends a slight cartoonish feel to the whole thing. Should you long for the days of the classic jungle serials then this is right up your ally. |

Unfortunately this doesn't rewrite MacGyver so much as is reads like and in cannon episode of the show, and if you're looking for that it is spot on. Mac's wit, subtle aloofness and pension of building complex sort of weapons are all intact along with the traditional silly reasons for him ending up involving the first place. I think as this continues on I'll really enjoy it as the disappointment of what could have been is replaced by my waiting for each issue's "Ah, that was clever" moment. |

It's an outline of a story explaining an outline of a story, but without those pesky little things like character development or motive we're really just treated to an author telling us his idea for a movie about the origin of Werewolves. It's too bad too, because the Pencils and Colors are once again fantastic. I'd love to see Chris Mowry move onto a series such a 30 days of night where his knack for gore and slightly surreal imagery can be put to better use. |

While this didn't bring much in the way of closure to any of the story threads (apart from Mowgli's need for revenge) it succeeded in the most important way a final issue can, it left me wanting more. |

The story is cross cut with that of the ghosts so while this investigation is going on we're mostly just waiting for the Shadow to catch up to the information that we've already figured out. If it doesn't sound exciting it's because it isn't and you'll be much better served just jumping on board with the ongoing series, which is a lot more interesting. |

The Spider #5

This issue we get the finally to the first arc which involves the Spider taking down a fairly creepy villain who has been using various gas mixtures turn the city populous into zombies. The action was dark, violent and carried a tone that remained incredibly serious through out. This not only played to the strength of the action scenes but also helped sell a lot of the drama involved. |

I'm getting a little fanboyish just describing it and am having trouble writing down anything that isn't "THIS IS SO COOL", so I'll leave it at that and hopefully I'll have calmed down enough to give the next issue the thoughtful review I'm sure it will deserve. |

Nihilistic and funny are a great combo, this is the book I look forward to reading each month and was ecstatic to find out they'll keeping this book going beyond the initial arc. |

The political games the possessed Dejah begins to play at the very end of the issue are really the only thing that made me remotely interested in what had been happening. Perhaps I just caught an off issue. |

Now is a good time to jump onto this book as I'm foreseeing an arc whose self-contained originality becomes sneaks up on us and becomes a fan favorite much like Greg Pak's Planet Hulk. When it ends too soon you'll wish you'd started reading it earlier. |

Witchblade (1995) #160

Some of these powers seem so useful that it calls into question why they wouldn't be used every issue. These things I complain about don't take away from the story though, which is drawn very well and flows logically, it's just that Top Cow has been setting such a high bar with the creativity of their titles as of late and this one just reads a little too by the numbers. |
