JoLo reviewed Hawkman #23 Jun 9, 2020
Wonder if Venditti predicted the Corona Virus situation when writing this? Very relevant to today's world filled with fear porn from its media and governments.

"Cold Days" continues! The jury in the Mr. Freeze trial is hopelessly deadlocked because one man won't vote guilty-and that man is Bruce Wayne.

JoLo reviewed Farmhand #1 Jul 12, 2018
An overall solid issue to the artist/co-creator of one of my favorite comics Chew. It captures very similar vibes but with a much darker tone.
Jedidiah Jenkins is a farmer-but his cash crop isn't corn or soy. Jed grows fast-healing, plug-and-play human organs. Lose a finger? Need a new liver? He's got you covered. Unfortunately, strange produce isn't the only thing Jed's got buried. Deep in the soil of the Jenkins Family Farm, something dark has taken root, and it's beginning to bloom.

JoLo reviewed Oblivion Song #5 Jul 11, 2018
It's just average.
Things in Oblivion are heating up as Nathan deals with danger on all sides.
A perfect future of intergalactic travel and community. Every newly discovered planet is unified culturally through a monolithic structure known as the Galactic Relay.

Meet Eel O'Brian: a petty thug, thief and con artist who runs a strip club. Hey, he's also dead, at least according to the gang that tossed him out like last week's garbage. Literally.
