 HAWKGIRL #1     DC COMICS Jadzia Axelrod’s story is intreging and Amancay Nahuelpan’s art is incredibly detailed. What I am worried about is where this mini-series is going. The saga of Hawkman and Hawkgirl has been going on for decades. And with each new interpretation, the hit or miss aspect seems to grow. And somewhere … Read more

 GRIMM FAIRY TALES 2023 SWIMSUIT EDITION     ZENESCOPE Much like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition was in the 1980’s, Zenescope’s take on the pinup is always on target. One of the best parts of the business model here is that there is a story included in the issue. A short tale to drop some future … Read more

 GODZILLA BEST OF RODAN ONE-SHOT     IDW COMICS There can be no doubt that the stories presented here are indeed some of the best of Rodan. Whether he’s fighting Titanosaurus or rescueing it’s offspring from evil human, or even going toe to toe with Varan, this is some of IDW’s best Kaiju tales. But again, … Read more

 GODZILLA HERE THERE BE DRAGONS #1     IDW COMICS Oh boy, here we go again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m always up for a new Godzilla title. It’s when we start having Godzilla show up in different time periods that things get a little wonky. And with stories like these there is usually a lot … Read more

 BETTIE PAGE #1     DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT Well, its Mirka Andolfo and Luca Blengino’s turn to spin us a little tale featuring everybody’s favorite pin up queen, Bettie Page. This time with a team of illustrators including Elisa Ferrari, Mara Angelilli, and Tommaso Ronda. And the multiple cover artists (like Joseph Michael Linsner) provide the great … Read more

SHAZAM #2     DC COMICS Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s story continues and while enjoyable, it really isn’t jumping up and shaking me. Billy just can’t seem to catch a break and he’s losing control. Throwing us a red herring in the form of the Psycho Pirate is genius but it’s not enough. Plus this … Read more

LEGION OF EXCEPTIONAL GORILLA MEN #1     AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY After the amazing success of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, it seemed to give dozens of creative teams the incentive to create their own weirdly titled super teams. And so the late 80’s and early 90’s gave us such titles as Adolescent Radioactive Black … Read more

 UNSTOPPABLE DOOM PATROL #3     DC COMICS Only 6 issues, that appears to be all we are going to get here but we are halfway done and we are still introducing new characters, new concepts, and new plot points. I can only hope that writer Dennis Culver know something we don’t. Like a possible on … Read more

 FLASH #799     DC COMICS It always seems like the issue just prior to a milestone issue goes one of two ways. Either it is a mad dash to try and finish up exiting storylines to highlight that the next big issue is going to take us into some new and amazing storyline that the … Read more
