Doom Patrol #3
DC’s Young Animal 2016
Written by Gerard Way
Illustrated by Nick Derington
Coloured by Tamra Bonvillain
Special Thanks to Marissa Louise
Lettered by Todd Klein

    Casey Brinke has stepped through to the other side-but where exactly is that? Given all the bizarre, unexplainable things that have come into her life over the last couple of days-robot men and talking ambulances and a guy who literally thrives on negative energy-surely this new and surprising world she has uncovered can’t be any weirder. Right?

    They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, They're altogether ooky that may be a little over the top but damn if it doesn’t fit to a “T.”   I mean this is everything about the Vertigo series that was so enjoyable just kind of continued here in the present.  Those characters outside the norm that fascinate you and keep you entertained for hours at a time.  From Flex Mentallo to Danny the Street to Cliff and Larry I mean this almost literally has everything.

    As I’m reading this it’s like Gerard has decided that this series is a continuation of the Vertigo one only it’s that many years later and everyone is scattered about and lost.  This is where Casey comes in for as yet undisclosed reason Danny has chosen her to find the rest of the Doom Patrol and bring them all together.  It’s like some magical mystery tour only it’s not a yellow submarine it’s an Ambulance!

    Well the reason why her may be undisclosed but and it’s a big but this is the origin of Casey and it’s not anything you’ve ever seen.  It so completely falls into the realm that is the Doom Patrol that you can’t help but not love every single frakkin moment of what we see and learn.

    Speaking of seeing Nick, Tamra and Marissa (?) do some seriously incredible work here.  I mean the shifting in styles throughout is beyond impressive.  The whole tone, feel and look of this book is astonishing.  The use of page layouts through their angles, perspective and these backgrounds just make you feel like it’s one huge psychedelic acid trip that you never want to stop.  There’s so much emotion here to experience and take joy from.  Oh and just personal thank you for such a wonderfully handsome, hairy and sexy Flex!

    Now we kind of know how the gang is supposed to get back together but it’s going to take a lot of work to make it happen.  With NOWHERE gone and Vectra taking the place not to mention what’s going on with Larry and the Negative energy well it’s going to take more than the yellow brick road to get em all back together safe and sound.  Plus just how does Casey’s roommate fit into all this?  Inquiring minds want, no NEED to know.  Because she’s nonchalantly put Cliff back together and hasn’t batted an eyelash when the disappeared.  

    This is the natural successor to what Grant originally did it’s creative, unique and seriously so out there it’s utterly brilliant.

Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye #3
DC’s Young Animal 2016
Written by Gerard Way & Jon Rivera
Illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming
Coloured by Nick Filardi
Lettered by Clem Robins

    Cave and his ad hoc team of spelunkers (his daughter Chloe and best-bud mechanic Jack Wheeler) have answered the call to adventure! But as they search for the lost city of Muldroog, Cave’s employer sends a crack team of his own in the latest in subterranean transportation: the Mighty Mole MK 2, led by a famed explorer from Cave’s past. And it looks like they’re out for more than just the return of EBX property…

    I can’t help it i’m in love with this series.  Normally I would say this is something that usually falls outside my purview but since i’m a huge fan of Cave Carson and was more than thrilled he was making a comeback I gave this a try.  That Gerard and Jon have decided to do something completely different and unique that still somehow manages to fit completely into his past makes me giddy with excitement.  

    Once we see Cave, Jack and his daughter in the car the adventure begins.  Now I don’t know what it is about Michael and Nick’s work here but from the bottom of my heart thank you.  I mean not only do we get killer dialogue--”Crystal Lake over here”-- but the 3-D you need those glasses effect and that whole two page spread of them driving through the Earth yeah it’s utterly brilliant.  Again normally not a style i’m into but I can’t help it the way it all works together just rocks my world.

    So with Paul having called in Johnny to work with Ace and the crew to go after Carson in the all new Mighty Mole we know things aren’t on the up and up.  I will wholeheartedly admit I love the fact that we get to see Johnny, Ace and the rest in action, see underground, even if they are chasing Carson.  It just has this whole air of excitement and newness and that we’re going to encounter so much more than any of them bargained for brings me back to the days when I started collecting all those back issues and experienced the adventures for the first time.   The days of cheesy story ideas and giant creatures living within the Earth.  

    So Cave has to explain to his daughter about her mother and all the stuff they’ve kept from her.  Oh and seeing Cave in an underground waterfall with his tightie whities slipping a bit again thank you.  The writing, dialogue and just the way the boys are presenting this story to us has been so exceptional.  The structuring of the story, it’s pacing and the way we keep getting these unexpected revelations give us this nonstop on the run feeling that makes Jason Bourne such a hit.

    With the gang getting to Muldroog and a team hot on their tale I can’t wait to see what’s going to come next.

Serenity: No Power in the ‘Verse #3
Dark Horse Comics 2016
Written by Chris Roberson
Pencils by Georges Jeanty
Inked by Karl Story
Coloured by Wes Dzioba
Lettered by Michael Heisler

    After a recent distress call from Iris, the crew has traveled to a moon in the Outer Rim. Bea Quiang has been imprisoned and is awaiting collection by an Alliance Operative. Unknown
to the crew, the Operative, Kalista, has already arrived and has captured River. There is little time for Bea’s rescue—and they’ve yet to discover that River is missing . . .


    I’ll admit i’m fully enjoying this story.  When River was captured I thought oh no all heck is gonna break loose and instead I love how Chris is turning the tables on me.  I mean she claims she’s not kidnapping her she’s rescuing her and it’s the little differences like this that make all the difference in the world.  I mean it’s a matter of perspective right and of course where you stand when it all goes down.  Still that he’s exploring more of River’s past here the way he is for me is amazing to see.

    Poor Jayne he’s such a schmuck with a good heart.  I do hope that he’s able to show that he loves little Emma and that he’s seen as the odd uncle in the end.  I mean it’s clear as day to me that he stays because this is his family and he wouldn’t be anywhere else even if he could be.  Though that his characterisation is so masterfully done it’s only the reader that really gets the see the depth of his emotions.  Chris has his finger on who these characters are so extremely well that it’s a pure joy to see.

    Also that Chris manages to create a scenario where Mal and the crew end up wanting to do the right thing and yet somehow end up in huge mess is another fine point of this story.  It really does feel like this is perfectly suited to be in the Verse through and through.  The structure of the story, the pacing is phenomenal and just the way he reveals one aspect and keeps us in the dark about another is skillfully done.  

    The artwork here is fantastic!  The use of page layouts through angles, perspective and the backgrounds we see really flesh this out superbly.  The faces, facial expressions and body language help tell more of how the characters feel and what they are going through.  The use of costumes and clothing to create the illusion we need in certain places are sublime.  

    That Dark Horse has seen fit to allow these creators to keep these stories coming makes the sting of an ongoing television series less and less.  All the awe, wonder and fun that I want to see is right here and on display.  This whole story has that unique feel that is reminiscent to the series itself and makes me happy that I can still get lost in this universe.

Blue Hour #3
Action Lab Entertainment 2016
Written by Dino Caruso
Illustrated by Chad Cicconi
Coloured by Crimzon Studio
Lettered by Adam Wollet

    Lamont wanted to build a city on another planet and get away from Earth to start again with his own styled utopia.  We’ve seen why and understand his desire to do so but that didn’t stop him from getting killed here.  There were a few things I noticed when all this was coming together and that was there was no good screening process for those who wished to go.  There’s a reason for saying like “you can take the girl out of the trailer park but you can’t take the trailer out of the girl..”  wherever you go people are going to be the same.

    Dino is doing some really nice characterisation here.  I mean we see ambition, subterfuge, love and honesty and usually in some of the most unusual places.  With each issue that comes out he continues reinforce what we’ve seen in these characters in bolder ways.  It’s like a whirlpool of emotions that are on edge and fueling the baser instincts.  I am very much enjoying the way these characters keep revealing more and more about who they are under the circumstances that Dino has placed them in.

    Chad does a great job with the interiors here as well.  We see the emotions grace the pages through facial expressions and body language which immediately tell us that state of their minds.  The use of page layouts through angles, perspective and the backgrounds we see keep this a wonderfully Teenaged book.  There really is a great sense of human behaviour alongside these wonderfully rendered aliens they are forced to live side by side with.  These seemingly cute and friendly native species that harbour the same emotions that the humans do comes across incredibly well.

    If people could just learn to get along with their neighbors and embrace ways of life that are different from theirs things would be so much easier but as we see here on both sides that this isn’t something that is going to happen.  While there are good folks among both sides it really is those who have lower morals and scruples that seem to ruin it for everyone else.  You’d think colonising a community on a distant planet would be the adventure of a lifetime.  We see that it is just not the way we would hope to envision it.

    This is a wonderfully thought out and executed series with many lessons to be learned. With strong characters, characterisation and a story whose pacing helps you stay involved and wanting to know what comes next this is one you shouldn’t pass up on.

    Taken to prison, he’s released thanks to his uncle’s lawyer, Marcus Simpson. As he exits the facility, he’s handed a sports bag containing a Golden Dragon statue he has no clue about.  Installed in Da Wei’s apartment in Manhattan, Juan scratches his finger with a mysterious tree’s red shard while holding the statue. This triggers a chain of events designed to make him the next Spirit of the Earth.  Unfortunately, blinded by his newfound abilities, he kills an innocent man in the process. Now, discover how everything started and how Juan Jin fits in the story…

    I like the opening here as we get to see the spirit of the Earth in action.  I’m a huge fan of the visuals here the way we see him go across the rooftops of Chinatown and see the lanterns and crowdedness of the city itself and how it’s represented.  Also getting a chance to see him in action and get a better understanding of his relationship with his statue well that’s just a bonus.  There really is something extraordinary about the way his armour looks and the way the movement is shown on the page that is nice to see.

    The introduction of Long Huo took me by complete and utter surprise.  Who Long really is and what he is really about makes me smile.  Long’s background and upbringing that we learn about here is possibly something that many people around the world wouldn’t be aware of.  I love the inclusion of this in Long’s background and religious upbringing.  Again seeing where Long goes as we learn his true nature and seeing a Synagogue represented in such magnificent fashion really took my breath away.  That some things we would take for granted or just be “ignorant” about are infused in this story makes it much stronger and more powerful that I had originally thought.

    Also the introduction of the Lady Xia and her encounter with Long deepens the mystery of the statues and what they represent to these unsuspecting new recipients of them.  

    I feel like i’m on some wonderfully strange cultural journey of exploration.  Not quite like being in a class but close enough.  We’re seeing a look at something we’ve not been exposed to before in ways that both educate and entertain.  The storytelling here is utterly marvelous with how the story is structured and executed so that we as readers aren’t overwhelmed with new information and ideology.  

    This is the power of comics folks.  It has this ability to show us different parts of the world, expose us to different points of view and do so in ways that we learn without realising we are learning.  With strong writing, characterisation, premise and background information told alongside some wonderfully expressive interior artwork we get to be immersed in a culture.  

    Also the fact that sometimes fate or destiny works in mysterious ways and brings the characters together in what appears a natural way is wonderfully done.  It doesn’t hurt that this story takes place in a New York City that is less accepting of non-whites and that some stereotypes we’re seeing have an authentic feel.  It’s a nice reminder of how far we’ve come and how much further we still need to go.

    Just as the girls are targeted by the Friendly Neighborhood Organized Crime Group, Kai and Noemi are confronted with the drama of romance and jealousy -- because love doesn't just hit pause when bigger things are happening.

    While the girls try to adjust to life outside the school they are at a distinct disadvantage.  Teenagers are or can be headstrong and determined but don’t always use the best judgment and we are seeing that demonstrated here rather nicely.  On the flip side the bad guys are well organised and are quite familiar with how things on the outside work.  So that while the two are new to one another and there will a growing period as each one susses out the other it’s the girls who are in far more danger.

    I like the way the story is being set up and told.  The structuring of it is impressive and the pacing is enjoyable.  We get good looks at both sides here so we can foresee and upcoming conflict that will have to explode at some point but until then it’s all about the setup.   The characters all have such great, strong characterisation and it’s easy to see where they fall within the story and within their own groups.  

    The interiors are great they have a wonderful all-ages appeal to them while still being able to express either their innocence, frustration or anger.  That we get such a wide variety of emotions from the faces, facial expressions and body language here is superbly done.  The use of page layouts through angles, perspective and the backgrounds in play help tell the story more fully.  Also I really do appreciate they can be dressed in clothes that identify them and yet aren’t what i’d consider trendy, showing way too much skin.  This way they can be seen as complex and powerful characters without resorting to some sort of stereotype.

    The girls themselves represent so much and have diverse personalities that it’s near impossible to feel the infectious nature of the story.  I am very much enjoying the fact that they really want to help Magpie so much and yet have so much yet to still learn about the world they have found themselves in.  the learning curve here is much greater than they’ve anticipated and they are slowly recognising that.  Add in new and unexpected friendships, feelings and romance and well it’s truly a well rounded story.

    We need more books like this that represent a wider variety of kids today that are headstrong and willing but totally unprepared.  It’s more realistic that they act without thinking and are stumbling through with the best of intentions.

Lettered by Jim Campbell

    At  6:35  a.m.  Eastern  Standard  Time,  President  Oren  Roth  ordered  the  firebombing  of Crosstown, Kentucky.  Crosstown was home to approximately 1,150 people. It had no Kentucky Guard presence whatsoever. It is noteworthy only as the home and birthplace of Luther Tindle, founder and Prophet of the Mountain Faith Church.Most of the victims who didn’t die immediately burned to death in their homes. Some tried to run. Drone footage shows men, women, and children burning and drowning in bubbling asphalt as the streets melted under their feet.  I cannot stress enough that every single victim of this atrocity was a non-combatant. Even the centuries-old excuse of “casualties of war” cannot justify their deaths. They were murdered without cause... on the whim of the President of the United States.

    Folks I’m going to call this right here and right now this is one to watch for 2017!  What Phillip has brought to us here is something so involved, striking and different that is surrounded with this scary familiarity of what could actually come to pass that i’ve riveted to the page.  I just can’t get enough of this and when it’s over I want more it’s just that darn good!  

    President Roth comes across as someone who shouldn’t have the job he does, mentally he’s proving he’s unable to handle the stress and pressures that surround it.  His outward demeanor doesn’t match his private one by any stretch of the imagination and that in itself makes him a fascinating character.  Also that he’s not one who can separate personal feelings from the job makes him this unsettling man who wields too much power, which sounds familiar somehow.  

    This issue we get a really good look at the Augs and what role they play.  These are men broken by war who are given a new lease on life with mechanical parts.  They seem to be the worst of the worse, those who relish in violence and love to inflict pain making them perfect agents.  They blindly follow orders and relish in it and do so without showing mercy, remorse or any desire to question the right or wrong of those orders.  Seeing them in play here really brings in this aspect I hadn’t expected to see, a more science fiction aspect, and it really opens up more avenues for the story to go in.

    The interiors here are incredibly strong.  The use of page layouts with their angles, perspective and use of backgrounds really help tell a more complete picture.  There’s a great blend of light and darkness in this story that helps you feel exactly what you need to at that moment and I have to say there are some powerful moments that took me by surprise.  

    We are seeing more and more threads of the story grow and evolve here.  The structure and pacing of this story impresses me.  I like that what is believed might not be what’s real and that while Mercer is a catalyst there may be another less likely saviour of Kentucky.   As people reveal their roles and true colours the more interesting the future of this series looks.

    Unconventional and daring this series will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing at what’s going to happen next!

Life with Kevin #3
Archie Comics 2016
Written, Penciled & Coloured by Dan Parent
Inked by J. Bone
Lettered by Jack Morelli

    Kevin Keller thought that life in NYC would be a dream come true—his own place, a high profile TV news gig and a Big Apple romance. But things don’t always go as planned…
Instead, Kevin’s found that his own place is hardly a luxurious Manhattan studio, and it’s not exactly his own place now that Veronica Lodge has moved in with him. His news gig is less-than-glamorous, and occasionally downright humiliating, and finding love in the big city is a lot harder than it looks on TV and in movies!  But Kevin’s never been one to give up that easily! As long as he can make the time, he’ll make sure to have a vibrant social life, climb the corporate news chain ladder to the best of his abilities and, most of all, do everything he can to change people’s lives for the better.  Well, he’s at least try to…


    It’s almost a shame this is a digital exclusive series because what Dan is doing here should be read by millions of people.  So many of us can relate to being in our twenties trying to set the world on fire, get our lives together and having fun along the way.  It never does seem to work out like we want it to at that age, the partying gets in the way of work that gets in the way of having a social life etc…

    Dan being who he is and his ability to write Kevin’s attempts at a love life with all that goes right and wrong with it are universal whether you’re gay or straight or somewhere in between.  Of course seeing what happens at Yoga well that’s many of our nightmares made real and who hasn’t done that at an inopportune moment in our lives?  I know I have and yes as embarrassing as it was I lived through it.  So that we can appreciate the humour of the situation as well that’s just icing on the cake.

    I think that Dan can take the traditional Archie sensibility and translate that to a character in new city and new situations and keep as real as he does is why I love reading his work.  I mean there’s so much going on here with Kevin at work, living with Veronica, and trying ever so elusively to find love and yet it all comes across as the perfect slices of life that everyone can relate to.  

    Okay i’ll never be one who had his chest waxed on television against his will but that’s part of what makes watching Kevin’s life so much fun.  Trying to find that balance of being true to himself and trying to make it in the business, not rocking the boat, is one of the harder parts of growing into an adult.  

    The very special thing he does for the fan of his is one of those wonderfully emotional things that we’d all like to think we’d do.  That his current platform allows him to help a young man overcome his fears and anxiety of being different and takes that head on and teaches the young man a lesson he’ll never forget, both will never forget, well it’s the kind of message we should all heed.  Be who you are, don’t apologise for it and let your light shine brightly because you never know who will need that light to see by and know they aren’t alone.

    Dan is amazing and that this comes across as the average twenty something trying to find that balance in life to make himself happy couldn’t be done any better!

WolfCop #3
Arcana/Dynamite Entertainment 2016
Written by Max Marks
Illustrated by Allan Otero
Coloured by Arcana Studios
Lettered by Chris Barrett

    After a brutal run-in with black magic leaves him alone and wolfed-out full time, WolfCop has to turn tail back to Woodhaven for a reunion with old friends. But Lou Garou's hometown is even less welcoming than it was when he left it, and some unfamiliar faces have planned one hell of a surprise party for him, one where home field advantage might just not be enough…

    Hot diggity damn am I really enjoying this series!  There’s this just complete and utter silliness to this that’s presented to us in this serious way that shouldn’t work but does.  Lou’s alcoholic nature seems to fuel the beast and make him more formidable and since we’ve rarely see him without a drink he should be darn well near impossible to beat.  There’s something about Max’s characterisation here that kind of makes him that much more interesting than the premise behind him is and that i’m thoroughly enjoying it is great.

    Coming back to Woodhaven may not have been the smartest move he’s made but as we see it’s kind of necessary.  Though honestly that he’s such a large known figure and the locals are more than happy to take their chances going up against him is fun to see.  Last we saw he left after Willie had his head chopped off and I wasn’t sure what he was going to do.  So it’s nice to see that whatever it is that made him the WolfCop he is also affected Willie too.  Immortality can be a bitch I suppose if you resurrect back in this town!

    So for those of us who haven’t seen the movies this is stand alone fun and the introduction of Tina, Lou’s old partner is great to see.  This leads into some extremely interesting stuff going on.  At first I thought that perhaps that Lou was kind of an anomaly in this world but the more we see the more we realise that this world is all kinds of messed up and it needs a hero like this unlikely one it’s got in WolfCop.

    Allan’s interiors here are so much fun and show off his creativity and imagination beautifully.  Not only in making Lou as the WolfCop seem so natural in his appearance but in showing us those that he gets to go up against as well.  From robotic or cyborg opponents to this otherworldly creature, that Willie describes as some Japanese Porn reject, what is able to bring to the page is utterly delightful. The use of page layouts with their angles and perspective are utilised extremely well.

    The dialogue and characterisation here is simply marvelous.  The humour injected throughout is a great foil for the seriousness of the situation or the absurdity of the foe they face.  It’s got all these great “B” movie elements that elevate it from that to a seriously badass franchise.  

    Creative, imaginative and completely kooky and off the wall this is the definition of fun!

Savage #2
Valiant Entertainment 2016
Written by B. Clay Moore
Illustrated by Clayton Henry & Lewis Larosa
Coloured by Brian Reber
Lettered by Dave Lanphear

    Nature conquers all! Marooned in an unforgiving prehistoric landscape, high society's most privileged celebrity family is fighting tooth and claw - literally - for survival. With no shelter, no weapons and no escape, the Savage family is about to come face to face with the cruelest laws of nature - in the form of the lethal dinosaurs that somehow stalk the impossibly ancient island that has become their home. Once they lose everything - and each other - what part of them will endure? Where will the man inside each of them end?and the animal begin?

    I think what strikes me about this is that B. Clay has this mixture of the Land that Time Forgot, Swiss Family Robinson and Peter Pan all wrapped up in this story.  It’s like this familiar tale that isn’t familiar at all and it has that newness and freshness of that tinge of familiar that makes it as exciting as it is.  

    The then and now storytelling here is extremely well done.  Seeing Kevin going to that ship to retrieve antibiotics for his wife and encountering the dinosaur was the first sign that this island possess secrets the rest of the world didn’t know about.  Sometimes the then and now tactic can come across as stale or trite but B. Clay really exceeds in its usage here.  

    Sure we open with KJ and seeing what he’s up to and it really has this whole different style of artwork that the flashbacks don’t.  There’s a more raw beauty to it that is enticing and showcases creativity and imagination in the depiction of the dinosaurs and KJ.  The attention to detail in this is stunning and how soft and dreamlike it appears just captures the horror and the wonder of it all.  Also seeing the boys scars and that he’s still alive at this age also attests to what he’s had to endure.  It’s incredibly well portrayed.

    I am more impressed with the flashbacks and seeing how Kevin got back to Ronnie and KJ.  That moment when he returns and and his determination to protect his family well it speaks volumes of this world renowned Football star!  Then to see Ronnie raising KJ at another point where we learn that the Island doesn’t discriminate who it traps on it’s shores well that’s just another bonus.  While it also ties into the present just as well and explains a few instances that we see.

    The interiors here really are so freaking amazing.  The use of page layouts through angles, perspective and the use of backgrounds are stunning in the scope that we see.  Not only in the dinosaurs but the use of foliage and the island itself really come to life for us.  The emotions we get from the work is important to understanding the writing and together it all works in concert so well.  

    I am enjoying the pacing of the story, the way the reveals come and how we’re only getting bits and pieces of what’s going on or has happened.  B. Clay Moore has exceeded any kind of expectations from me with this story so far.  His work which has always been solid, entertaining and difficult to predict seems to have been taken to an all new level of awesome.  

    Not sure where this would potentially fit into the Valiant Universe and honestly I am not sure I care because this is pure and simple outstanding storytelling!
