SENSATIONAL WONDER WOMAN #5     DC COMICS Amy Chu’s story hits a home run in all the catagories that matter. And that ending is down right uplifting. I do love a good tale that ends with the mean old villian getting their comeuppance! And with Maria Laura Sanapo’s art and Wendy Broome’s colors, this one … Read more

THE SHIELD #1     ARCHIE COMICS Well, we seem to be starting off on the right foot with a new Mighty Crusaders title. And while I could do without so many 1 page pin up art pages (signed amazingly enough by Liefeld (Really Rob, in the center of the page?!) David Gallaher’s story keeps the … Read more

INFINITE FRONTIER #1     DC COMICS While a quick mini-series to introduce some new upcoming concepts can be forgiven sometime, this is not one of those times. A confusing hodge-podge of stories trying to interconnect themselves misses the mark completely. And it doesn’t help that in the House of Heroes, we come literally face to … Read more

FLASH #771     DC COMICS An amazing tale seems to be getting cut short! Starting off strong with a visit to the Legion of Doom complete with Superfriends cartoon art style it was a shame to see 1 page sneak peeks of storylines that will never happen. I would especially liked to have seen both … Read more

BATMAN SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES #3     DC COMICS This a perfect example of a classic all-ages book. Something that is not all that common these days. And while current Batman readers may have an issue with the simplistic take on the Dark Knight and the somewhat “going out on a limb” reasoning behind Two-Face’s masterplan, that’s … Read more

BETTIE PAGE THE CURSE OF THE BANSHEE #1     DYNAMITE ENTERTAIMENT Bettie Page returns with a new mystery from writer Stephen Mooney. But at this point in the ongoing adventures of Miss Page, we seem to have lost some of the cute charm of the first few outings. With Bettie working with the government and … Read more

STARGIRL SPRING BREAK SPECIAL #1     DC COMICS If this was the only book I reviewed this week, I could die happy. This book actually brought tears to my eyes! Geoff Johns’s story is both touching and awe inspiring. He has managed to take little bits of history from various points in the DC Universe … Read more

CATWOMAN #31     DC COMICS Having admitted previously that I am not a great fan of the recent going-ons in Gotham, here is another example that things might be on the uptake. And while Fernando Blanco is dark and seductive, the show stealer here is Ram V’s story. This is as close to a pulp … Read more

BATMAN SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES #2     DC COMICS Switching time periods and layouts, we join the gang as they meet with a more modern version of Batman with a red suited Robin in a more animated Batman Adventures style. However, writer Sholly Fisch still handle the story well. Humor abounds with the gang up to their … Read more

CRIME SYNDICATE #3     DC COMICS Not even a guest appearence of Doctor Chaos (the Reverse Dr. Fate) on the cover could help me with this one. After a really good couple of issues, this almost turns into a regular Justice League story with even Lex Luthor joining up for a while. None of the … Read more
