Volume 3 isn't out until August. The single issues are already out though and on Hoopla so that's how I read it.

Last week's adventures in comics.

New Mutants by Danny Lore, Vol. 1 ★★
I really hope this isn't called New Mutants by Danny Lore because he only wrote the first issue. This thing was all over the place and filled with poor art and stories. Hopefully the upcoming reboot will do this book good.

The L.A.W. (Living Assault Weapons) ★★
Hmm, I'm not really sure who this was even for. It's a gathering of a bunch of the Charlton heroes for a mission to save the Earth from demons. It's clearly set in the DC universe of its day (Grant Morrison's Justice League appears) but it feels like the characters were just being introduced even though DC had already introduced most of them back in the 80's.

Harley Quinn: The Animated Series, Vol. 1: The Eat. Bang! Kill. Tour ★★★★
This takes place between seasons 2 and 3 of the Harley Quinn animated series and spoils a lot of things if you haven't watched it. If you plan on watching it (You should. It's great!) then you should do that first. The show is full of cursing and sexual innuendo and so is the comic.

Wolverine, Vol. 4 ★★★
The Deadpool story is definitely the better of the two presented here. Percy writes Deadpool properly. Not too goofy but funny while Wolverine remains surly.

Under Kingdom ★★
The art in this was really rough. like couldn't tell what was happening at times rough. It's about a teenager who finds out his mother looked after all the monsters in the Under Kingdom after she goes missing.

Marauders, Vol. 1 ★
Steve Orlando continues to confirm my belief that he's a terrible writer. Kate Pryde and Bishop put together a new team of Marauders that now has a spaceship and heads to Shi'ar to investigate this 2 billion year old mystery box with Kate's handwriting in it. The team has zero personality nor is there any reason for any of them to be on the team.

Let Them Live – Unpublished Tales From The DC Vault #1 ★★★★
I thought this was a really neat idea, for DC to publish these stories that were previously shelved all introduced by Ambush Bug. I do wish Ambush Bug would explain why it was shelved, whether it was from cancellation or something else. This is a Suicide Squad story from a few volumes ago by Jim Zub and Tradd Moore.

Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales From The DC Vault #2 ★★★★
Nightwing jumps off a platform 30,000 feet in the air and has to stop a bomb from hitting the ground and exploding. I love how he talks to different members of the Bat family while falling and trying to stop the bomb.

Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales From The DC Vault #3 ★★
The first dud in this series. Batman is investigating murders in some strange ancient library in Gotham. The writing was so labyrinthine that I gave up on following it.

Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales From The DC Vault #4 ★★★
A story about the current Kid Flash, Wallace West, saving the kids at his school. Great Bryan Hitch art.

Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales From The DC Vault #5 ★★★
The Clock King throws Green Arrow in some kind of alternate Star City that is cold with no population other than a dog. Jorge Fornes's art is good.

Let Them Live!: Unpublished Tales From The DC Vault #6 ★★★
Crush and Red Arrow from the Teen Titans get de-aged to kids in an amusement park. All of these comics had surprising A-list talent on writing and art. I expected tryout type creators like DC's quarterly comics.

New Talent Showcase (2016) #1 ★★★★
Most of these were quite good little story nuggets. Most of them lead into larger stories that never ended up happening, but these 8 pages stories were solid lead ins to stories I would read if they existed. There's some good artists involved too.

New Talent Showcase 2017 #1 ★★★
Apparently DC used to do a new writer workshop and then released the short stories as part of an anthology that I found on DC Infinite. I didn't know most of the writers (other than Scott Snyder who led the workshop) but I did recognize a lot of the artists. Surprisingly good stuff.

Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special (2022) #1 ★★★
Twelve stories celebrating the anniversary of Wildstorm. Some big time creators like Jim Lee returned for this special. Some stories look back at their time at Image. The last few are another attempt to reintegrate some of the characters into the DC universe again which is apparently happening now with characters (besides Grifter who was introduced in Gotham during Future State.)

Superman: Action Comics, Vol. 3: Warworld Revolution ★★★★
Superman without his powers inspires the slaves of Warworld to revolt. Phillip Kennedy Johnson's start on Superman has been excellent.

X-Men Legends ★★★
Three decent stories even if they don't always answer questions that were unanswered. I do like that Marvel brought back the original creators to tell these stories.

Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story ★★★
A story about a Korean girl who was adopted by loving white parents and grew up in a small town in Maryland in the 90's and 00's. She and her sister never met their real parents and she also grew up to be trans as well. It's an often heartbreaking story filled with bigotry and racism that was systematically ignored. It focuses on how she grew up in an almost all-white rural setting covering pre-school through high school. It's an engrossing read. It's just too long at 276 pages.

X-Men Red, Vol. 2 ★★★★★
This book remains at the top of the X-Books. First up are some big changes on Arakko due to Judgement Day. It's followed up with the return of Emperor Vulcan and he's pissed.

The Flash 17: Eclipse ★★★★
It seems like Jeremy Adams is a keeper. I'm really happy that The Flash has gotten really good again. Wally West is back in the Flash saddle. Along for the ride is Linda and the kids. It's so good to have everyone back.

Wynd Vol. 3: The Throne in the Sky ★★★★
This series continues to shine with the humans, faeries, and vampyres appearing to be headed to war.

DC's Saved by the Belle Reve (2022) #1 (DC Holiday Special) ★★★
Another 80-page giant from DC. This one with a "Back to School" theme. Some people are going to be really excited about a new Gotham Academy story by the regular creative team.

Wolf Moon ★★★
Even though Bunn says he is trying to do something different with this werewolf story, it felt uninspired. Most of the story is visceral kill after kill while the subplots like that this is actually a skinwalker that jumps from person to person each month is underdeveloped.

Welcome Emma!

This was an advance copy. I think it comes out in April if I remember correctly.

Any other details you have?"

If Manu saw it in Astro City, it's probably much older. That's comic has been over for a while.

Today's trip to the LCS.

Batman and the Joker #4

Resurrection Man Vol. 1
I'm reading an issue at a time, because I really like the new 52 run of this series, but I didn't really enjoy the first two issue of this..."

I thought the original Resurrection Man series was better. It's probably on DC Infinite. It takes place before the New 52 rebooted everything.

The Stormwatch comics you are reading are just part of the regular DC universe once you hit the New 52. All the Wildstorm characters were merged into the regular DC universe and then mostly forgotten about after a couple of years. You need to go back to the original series from the 90's to read it when it was part of Wildstorm. That comic wasn't very good when it started, then turned to hot garbage not even worth the quarter bin, then became fantastic when Warren Ellis took over. You can read just the Warren Ellis stuff and be fine. It eventually transforms into the Authority which was groundbreaking when it came out. The DC version of Stormwatch is just a shell of that.

Grimlock wrote: "For anyone who uses Hoopla, it's bonus borrows this month and there are a bunch of comics. Some are marvel, dc, ec, and some I haven't really heard of the companies, so it looks like a mix."

A lot of it is repeats from the past but I found a few things to read again.

Last week's adventures in comics.

Midnight Suns★★★
Zoe Labeau from Strange Academy has a vision where her zombie self destroys the world. However the vision is shared with all magic users. Enter Wolverine, Magik, Blade, Nico from Runaways, and the Spirit Rider to the rescue, I guess. It's a random team with nothing to do with the 90's comic or the recent video game.

X-Men Red, Vol. 1★★★★★
This is the best X-Men comic going these days. It's got a tighter focus on a smaller group of characters, Storm, Magneto, Sunspot, Brande and the Arakko mutants. It's really a continuation of the best parts of Ewing's SWORD.

Immortal X-Men, Vol. 1★★★
Keiron Gillen returns to the X-Men. His Immortal X-Men is a bunch of one and done issues focusing on a a single character. It's all fine but feels disjointed.

Everything is Fine Volume One★★★
A strange story where everyone wears giant cat heads but are otherwise human. They live in a Stepford Wives type setting where on the surface everything looks great but you can see things beginning to crack for some of the people.

Global: One fragile world. An epic fight for survival.★★★★
A fictional account of two kids dealing with real world climate issues that are beginning to affect us now.

Madman Library Edition Volume 4★★★★
I found this volume a little more serious than normal throughout this volume and less fun than the previous Madman collections.

The Nice House on the Lake, Vol. 2★★★
This went kind of how I thought it would go, other than leaving it open for more. The story still just moves way too slowly for me. There are way too many characters and, consequently, I don't care about any of them. This feels like a really drawn out version of an episode of Black Mirror and honestly probably would have worked better as a TV show than a comic.

DC vs. Vampires Vol. 2★★★
Volume 1 had a big reveal that was cool. Now the few remaining heroes are just trying to survive now that the vampires have won.

DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War★★
An unnecessary side quest of a title. Another group of survivors runs around on a Earth controlled by vampires. The art is all black and white while the only color is red.

The Jurassic League★
This was just as dumb as I expected it to be when I saw the first issue on my LCS's new comics shelf. Just because DC has an infinite amount of dimensions now doesn't mean they need to explore each one. Daniel Warren Johnson lends his name for a writing credit (probably to get it made) but I have a feeling this was Juan Gideon's baby all the way.

The Death of Superman 30th Anniversary Special #1★★★
This doesn't really add anything to the original story. I'd suggest you just go back and read that instead. It does have stories by each of the creative teams working on the Superman books back then.

Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death★★
Poison Ivy attempts to go straight as a scientist. Apparently it was working too until someone started murdering her colleagues. I'm not getting why it was working though because she consistently reverts back to attempting to kill anyone who steps in her way. The writing is very uneven.

Aquaman: Andromeda★★★
To be honest, this feels like an original story and Aquaman and Black Manta were inserted later to make it part of the DC universe. It starts off with your typical under the water horror movie vibes. A spaceship has crash landed deep underwater where only an experimental sub can get to it. The crew find it and goes aboard to check it out where they unleash something that should have remained locked up.

Rogues★★★★
The Rogues are living the good life. Then we flash forward ten years . All of the Rogues are washed up and out of the life with dead-end jobs, most of them on parole. Captain Cold decides to get everyone back together for one last job, steal a bunch of gold from Gorilla City.

Poison Ivy, Vol. 1: The Virtuous Cycle★★★
This spins out of Fear State. Poison Ivy went through some trauma after being split apart and given some heavy duty powers. She blames Harley for having them taken away. Now she's ticked off and decided humans are going to kill off the planet if she doesn't kill them first. She heads out on a cross-country tour spreading spores that will kill everyone.

DC: Mech★★
An Elseworlds series where a giant parademon killed off half of the JSA after WWII and all of the Justice League decided to pilot giant mechs instead while waiting for Darkseid to come to Earth.

DC Power: A Celebration (2023) #1★★★★
A pretty good anthology featuring a lot of DC's black characters.

DC's Harley Quinn Romances (2023) #1★★
Yeah, we're back to these being tryout stories for new authors and artists. These stories set around Valentine's Day were all very bland and uninteresting.

Sword of Azrael★★
DC has harmed this character irrevocably by trying to change what he is so many times. Like in that Justice League Odyssey series where he gained powers in space. Now they want to revert back to the 90's Azrael but then insert some nonsense with motherboxes. Let's just stick with a straight forward Azrael from the 90's, he was brainwashed by the order of St. Dumas and trying to overcome his programming.

X-Force, Vol. 5★★
Two uninspired stories from Percy. I think it's about time for him to go.

Knights of X★★
Basically Excalibur Vol. 5 whether you like this or not will probably rest of what you thought of Excalibur.

Small trip to the LCS yesterday, Only spent 10 bucks.

X-Force #37
Legion of X #10
Blood Tree #1 <-- Peter Tomasi's new Image book. I dig this guy's stuff. Can't wait to check it out. It's on the Mad Ghost subprint too although I don't know if that means it ties into the Geoff Johns's books or not.

Grimlock wrote: "I think that's my problem: most stuff is low to mid-interest, a couple I really want, but most bundles I get just have more to excite me so it feels not worth it?"

It definitely is missing some of the blockbusters that have been in previous Image Humble Bundles.

Grimlock wrote: "Has anyone considered the new Humble Bundle with Image Horror comics? Other than the Hack/Slash stuff, it doesn't feel need to have. I'm going to wait a little and see if they've got anything more ..."

It's not the most compelling list of comics, but easy enough to find $18 worth of comics.

Hey Grimlock. It's always good to see more of my comic book friends around here.

Welcome Carlo! I see you are in Lynbrook. I'm out in Farmingville.

Last week's adventures in comics. As you can tell, i just got DC Infinite Ultra.

Convergence: Crisis, Book Two★★★
Either these are getting slightly better or I'm becoming numb to the same story repeated again and again.

Convergence: Zero Hour, Book One★★★
These Convergence tie-ins have moved into the 90's, before Zero Hour and set in Metropolis. All of the characters fight heroes from Kingdom Come.

Convergence: Zero Hour, Book Two★★★
This is really a two-star book plus a great appearance by Ambush Bug of all people in Supergirl: Matrix

Convergence: Flashpoint, Book One★★★
Probably the best of these ancillary Convergence tie-ins. Greg Rucka writes a good Question story. Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks get a head start on their return of the original Superman and Lois. Nightwing and Oracle finally get together as a couple while fighting a conquering Hawkman and Hawkwoman.

Telos, Vol. 1★★
Telos from Convergence gets his own miniseries. The art is good, the story is not.

Luda★
Grant Morrison wrote a prose novel. I only made it 50 pages before returning it to the library. There are so many asides, metaphors, similes and the like that I felt like the story was going nowhere. As a prose novelist, they are a great graphic novelist


Flashpoint Beyond★★★★★
The end of Flashpoint should have ended the Flashpoint universe, so why does it still exist? Thomas Wayne is on the case.

Dark Crisis★★★
The Justice League has fallen leaving the rest of the Earth's heroes to pick up the pieces. Meanwhile, an old character from Crisis has returned, controlled by the Great Darkness.

Gambit★★★
Essentially an untold X-Men story from the time before Gambit joined the X-Men when he and a de-aged Storm worked as thieves roaming the Mississippi River. Written by Chris Claremont so I had to do it.

Dark Crisis: Young Justice★★
A Dark Crisis book that has nothing to do with Dark Crisis and yet manages to spoil the ending at the same time. Tim Drake, Conner Kent and Impulse get zapped off to when they were back in Peter David and Todd Nuack's Young Justice.

Cosmic Cadets (Book One): Contact!★★★
Top Shelf is writing comics for kids now. This is about a Star Trek type ship visiting a new planet where the aliens communicate with their feelings. This causes some misconceptions about their intentions leaving the kids of the crew members to resolve things peacefully before it all blows up.

Overwatch: New Blood★★
Like a lot of these video game comics from Dark Horse, you are expected to be extremely well-versed on the game and know all of the lore to enjoy these. Ray Fawkes does his typical half-assed job writing this after a decent start at the beginning.

Stringer★★
A Stringer is a guy who laces tennis rackets for a pro. No, I have no idea how that becomes a job. It's 1983 and a stringer on tour in Europe makes ends meet by selling a little bit of coke on the side. Enter some drug dealer who forces him to take a bag full of cocaine on tour and deliver it to him in Las Vegas in three weeks and he's way over his head.

The Kármán Line★★★
Dennis Hopeless finally made some new comics. Too bad this was so short. In the near future the Earth is dying and no one seems to care. There's little support for a mission to Mars even though it's maybe our only hope. So to build up support, they send a content producer up with the astronauts to film the mission as a reality show. Things soon get serious when the astronauts all receive messages from their home countries to come home and make sure you're the only one.

Suicide Squad: Blaze★★★
No, the Suicide Squad isn't going to Hell after the Superman villain from the 80's. This was cool. It's a Black Label book about the Suicide Squad being sent after this evil Superman. He has no morals and is barely even human but is killing multiple people around the Earth each day. No one knows where he's at or how to deal with him. Enter some prisoners who have volunteered to receive Blaze, a drug that will give them powers but kill them within 3 months.

A.X.E.: Judgment Day★★★
It's come out that mutants are now effectively immortal leaving the Eternals to call them Deviants and declares war. The Avengers are stuck in the middle until Tony Stark comes up with a plan that goes horribly wrong. While Schitti's art is very good, even Gillen can't make me care about the Eternals.

A.X.E.: Judgment Day Companion★★★
This stuff was all fine. It's mostly ancillary and unnecessary to read to get the gist of the main Judgment Day event. Reading these it's very clear that this is an Eternals event and the Avengers and X-Men's names are thrown in there to sell more copies.

Fantastic Four, Volume 10: Reckoning War, Part I★★★
I believe this finally contains the last two Fantastic Four one-shots from Slott's run. That was always one of my pet peeves of this run, all of the ancillary stuff that just wasn't part of the main book. I also have to wonder why Marvel thought this needed two volumes when it could have easily have been one especially when it's only 7 issues plus 2 one-shots.

Fantastic Four, Volume 11: Reckoning War, Part II★★★
The Reckoning War ends with its last three issues and then a one issue story about Reed's new Half-sister as Dan Slott ends his time on the book. I do think the story tries to do too much by tying in with Slott's previous runs on Avengers: The Initiative, Silver Surfer and She-Hulk.

The Nice House on the Lake, Vol. 1★★★
I'll save any condemnation until I read the 2nd half of this series and see if Tynion can stick the landing. It's an end of the world series about 10 people who are all friends of Walter. They are headed to a remote house in Wisconsin for a week when they start seeing all kinds of crazy stuff and are told they can't leave. It's a strong first issue. Subsequent issues meander and I realize how shallow all these people are, to the point where I wish they'd all start dying.

Today's trip to the LCS.

Batman One Bad Day: Catwoman
Junkyard Joe #4
Snow White Zombie Apocalypse #0
Thor #30
Sins of Sinister #1
Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #2
Midnight Sons #5

Last week's adventures in comics.

Catwoman: Lonely City★★★★
Catwoman gets her own The Dark Knight Returns and it's very good.

Mister Mammoth★★
Starts off interesting about the world's greatest detective in this noirish story. The 2nd half devolves into this mess though of what feels like completely unrelated stuff from when Mister Mammoth was a child.

Above Snakes, Volume 1★
A terrible revenge Western about a man whose wife was murdered by the Above Snakes gang and now he plans on killing all of them.

The Darkness We Brought Back★★★
A basic tween story about some teenagers who go through a doorway into another world and get powers.

Blab! Volume 1★★
There's a ton of these Blab! comics out there, from back in the Kitchen Sink and Fantagraphics days. Hopefully future installments are better.

Another Band's Treasure: A Story of Recycled Instruments★★★
A simple but true story about a small village in Paraguay who started a band for children using instruments made from recycled materials. Now they've played all over the world.

The Toppi Gallery: Harlots and Mercenaries★★★
These collections from throughout the European illustrator's life are cool. However, these illustrations haven't grabbed me the way his comics did.

Convergence★★★
An event created so that DC could move its offices from NY to LA over two months in 2015. Various alternate DC realities and eras are brought to a planet in space and forced to fight.

Convergence: Flashpoint, Book Two★★
This event is completely slapped together and all of these two issue miniseries follow the same formula. Everyone has been stuck powerless in a domed Gotham for a year, Telos forces different cities to fight.

Convergence: Infinite Earths, Book One★★
Only recommended for DC completists who are well versed in DC's multiverse of the last several decades. Pre-Crisis Earth-2 superheroes fight other Earths like the Superman Elseworlds Red Son.

Convergence: Infinite Earths, Book Two★★★
The best of these so far. The Booster Gold one ties into the main story. The best one though was Jeff Parker and Doc Shaner's Shazam Family vs. Batman Elseworlds Gotham by Gaslight.

Convergence: Crisis, Book One★★
Pre-Crisis Earth-1 characters fight a bunch of Jack Kirby stuff. This one stunk. I'm getting Convergence fatigue but determined to finish the rest of these this coming week no mater how much it hurts.

Max wrote: "Ant-Man: Season One
I didn't know Hank Pym had a wife before Janet. I still don't know what happened between Hank and Janet, which is what I was most curious about."

A lot has happened over the years. They've been around since the 60's. Hank went through multiple personalities and struck Janet. Then they were on again / off again for decades. Plus Hank created Ultron who created Vision. In the last few years, Hank and Ultron merged and he's been absent now from the Marvel U until a new writer figures out something interesting to do with him.

Also Hank's first wife had a daughter that Hank didn't know about. She was raised in Russia and became the new Wasp with Janet becoming her mentor.

Last week's delayed adventures in comics. Work has been crazy busy this week.

The Killer: Affairs of the State★★
This is about an assassin and his team that is rooting out corruption in a French city.

Miss Endicott, Tome 2★★★
This second half of Miss Endicott's story wasn't as good as the setup. It's all reacting to what is going to happen at midnight even though no one knows what that will be.

Grim Vol. 1★★★★
Jessica Harrow is the only grim reaper not to remember her death. She also has some abilities other grim reapers don't have. The story gets larger as it moves along but I think I've said enough so that you can experience it yourself.

Butterfly★★
An incomprehensible spy thriller about an agent who goes on the run when someone compromises her mission.

The Anchor, Volume 1: Five Furies★★★
An ancient man has risen from Hell to stop demons from returning to Earth. He begins to regain his memories with each giant Kaiju he kills, when he eats their hearts.

The Anchor, Volume 2: Black Lips★★★
The Anchor closes up shop after finally remembering his past and battling Satan.

Bleedout★★
A bunch of vignettes built around a MMO game where oil has dried up leaving everyone without cars and planes. The stories are about all of the crime lords in the game, I presume.

Caped★★
A crappy comic about being a super hero's assistant.

Dark Blood, Vol. 1★★★
A black man in the South in the 1950's develops powers after being experimented on. The disjointed storytelling and constant jumping back and forth in time made this difficult to read, particularly because we don't really ever get any answers about what happened.

Americatown★★★
Flips the script on the immigration issue by having the U.S. go through some kind of economic meltdown in the near future. Now Americans are sneaking into other countries to find work. This takes place completely in Buenos Aires with a father trying to find work after sneaking into the country illegally while his son is detained.

Alice Ever After★
This was terrible. Alice has grown up and we discover her adventures in Wonderland were drug induced. Now she's an adult who commits herself to a Sanitarium where she meets analogues of all the terrible characters from Wonderland.

Curse★★★
This is almost a trope of a werewolf story at this point. There's a man who is going broke struggling to stay afloat while his son gets Leukemia treatments. Meanwhile, something is ripping people apart in the woods.

Cold Space★★
Yes, once upon a time, that Samuel L. Jackson wrote a comic book. It's a space western. The most stereotypical space western you'll ever read. The main character is just an undisguised Samuel L. Jackson.

Death Be Damned★
Ben Acker and Ben Blacker came on the scene a few years ago after their podcast The Thrilling Adventure Hour blew up. They are Hollywood writers who got an opportunity in comics when they get some buzz. Unfortunately, that buzz has never translated for me. This is poorly written. It's set in the Old West and is about a woman whose family was murdered and seeks vengeance. When she is killed, she returns from the dead. Then it just devolves into nonsense with terrible artwork.

The Cloud★★★
A dreamlike story about a boy and his flying wolf seeking out a wish stone that will grant one wish that can save this fantasy world set in the clouds. The art is gorgeous.

Batman '89★★★
Sam Hamm, the writer of the first Tim Burton Batman film, returns to give us his take on what a Tim Burton trilogy would have been. Billy Dee Williams finally gets his chance to be Two-Face.

Doctor 13: Architecture and Mortality★★★★
This shows Brian Azzarello is actually capable of writing a fun comic. Doctor Thirteen is an obscure DC character who goes around debunking the supernatural. In more recent years, with his daughter Tracy Thirteen. Here they meet even more obscure characters from DC like Jeb from the Haunted Tank and Infectious Lass from the Legion of Substitute Heroes as Doctor Thirteen tries to deny anything supernatural is happening while flying around in a ghost pirate ship. It's all a load of fun. Cliff Chiang makes it all look particularly glorious. He is just a terrific artist anytime I see his work.

The Spectre: Tales of the Unexpected★
God, this was awful. At the time, police detective Crispin Allen had been murdered and taken over the role of the Spectre. For eight issues, he just moans and whines about having no control as the Spectre gives murderers crazy deaths.

Today's trip to the LCS.
