Worlds’ Finest

Issue #1

Written by Paul Levitz, Art by George Perez

Published: July 2012

Anything with Huntress in it draws my attention immediately, and World’s Finest #1 proves, thankfully, to be just as likeable as I hoped it would be. The team up of Huntress and Power Girl is a neat attraction of opposites, straight down to their physical appearances and costuming. Despite that, they have some really fun chemistry and a compelling history together. Both characters bounce off each other charmingly. It’s a pairing I want to see more of as they bop around having adventures and kicking ass, trying to get home.

The art is impressive too. There’s a good variety of action, a real sense of motion, and character expressions are fairly lively. The colouring is solid, and it’s a nice-looking issue on all counts.

This issue is a lot of set-up, but it moves along at a good speed. It succeeded in getting me invested in the story in a fairly short amount of pages. While at times it feels a little overwhelming–it might be difficult to start with this issue for a newcomer to both characters–it’s not too inaccessible. I haven’t been following all the storylines leading up to this point, but the flashback involving the girls coming to their new Earth was enough to get me invested and intrigued by where they (and the series) were going. In terms of a first issue, it seems to have accomplished many of its goals.

World’s Finest #1 jets along at a nice, quick pace, and the storyline drops just enough hints to intrigue. While it’s obviously hampered by having to set up so much premise, it gives itself a lot of room to grow and progress. I’m excited about it, and while it’s not perfect, it’s a ton of fun and definitely worth picking up for the characters alone.

All Star Superman #1 Review

All-Star Superman

Issue #1

Written by Grant Morrison, Art by Frank Quitely

Published: January 2006

What I like about the art and layout of this issue is that it seems to take broad strokes. The panels are large and few as opposed to small and many. The colouring from scene to scene seems to take on certain themes, combining certain colours together that really pop. One man wears a coat full of gradient colours. Superman’s blue suit is juxtaposed by the bright yellows of the burning sun. It’s one of the more unique-looking Superman titles I’ve read, and while the lineart itself isn’t what I’m usually into, I can’t help appreciating it here. It’s just a ton of fun to look at, forget about reading the actual story!

But the story itself isn’t bad either. Superman saving a bunch of scientists from a sun-related disaster orchestrated by Lex Luthor? What’s not to like! The unexpected effects it has on Superman’s biology makes up a pretty clever scheme, too, and it begs several (good!) questions about what it will mean for humanity, and for Superman himself. Without giving too much away, the issue quickly and effectively sets up a really compelling drama, and it’s to the issue’s credit that it feels so short, but conveys as much of a punch as it does.

While Superman is pretty unemotional about things on the surface, Luthor is his perfect foil. He grins and threatens, and seems more determined than ever to put an end to Superman in the most insidious way possible. The motivation they give him for ‘amping up his game,’ so to speak, is a really clever one. Not only does it comment on the enduring rivalry between the two, but it says something about Superman too, in how his invulnerability can occasionally be a target and a weakness to his enemies.

I was unexpectedly drawn in by this issue. I enjoy Superman, but rarely am I truly intrigued by him. This first issue seems to promise a great and compelling story.

Green Lantern Rebirth #1 Reivew

Green Lantern Rebirth

Issue #1

Written by Geoff Johns, Art by Ethan van Sciver

Published: December 2004

Green Lantern Rebirth has a lot of exposition stuffed into its panels, and it’s not particularly bad exposition, but it’s enough to make me think they were concerned about new fans picking this issue up and having it serve as their introduction to the character. Green Lantern has always struck me as a title with tons and tons of history, and it’s arguably less accessible than something like Batman or Spiderman. To some degree I think all comics worry about alienating new fans (no pun intended), and I can’t say that I think this is a great introduction for a new fan, but in terms of someone decently familiar with Green Lantern’s history? I think it’s alright.

The art is nice and atmospheric, it’s fairly expressive, and it has a good variety of angles and colours. It’s got a decent sense of motion to it, and a couple unique and memorable images (the green lantern ring on the tip of an arrow, for example).

The premise of Hal Jordan being taken over by a vengeful entity with a sick sense of humour is pretty interesting, and there’s an emotional weight to the issue that rings true. The issue deftly gets across a sense that something big has just happened, and people are still recovering from it. The details of the spectre’s motivations and his hold on Hal are also interesting, and it’s poised to make for decent drama in the future.

The story itself seems to be mostly recapping previous events from another series, which is why I can’t call it a great starting point for a new fan. Again, though, for fans who have followed Hal Jordan thus far, and for fans who know enough about the character’s history to jump in feet-first, I think it’s an effective set-up issue.

Detective Comics #854 Review (Elegy)

Detective Comics #854

Issue #3

Written by Greg Ruka, Art by J.H. Williams III

Published: August 2009

I admit to not reading tons of Batman comics, but since I was given this issue at a convention, I figured I’d give it a shot. Turns out it’s a visually stunning issue with heaps and heaps of gritty, gothic atmosphere, exactly what I like when I do pick up the odd Batman storyline on occasion. The colouring is just fantastic- lots of stark shades, very dark in tone but brightened up by select bits of bright, bright red in Batwoman’s hair and costume.

I love this artwork. There’s subtlety to the movements of the characters, their expressions and body language. The panels are laid out in interesting ways, and there’s a nice variety of angles. Important, too, is that the women are drawn in such a way that highlights their ridiculous proportions or objectifying poses. More than that, the character designs are fairly diverse and interesting, especially when a new villain introduces herself later on.

The storyline itself in this issue is also a nice mix of crimefighting and personal drama, and neither feels melodramatic. In fact, I found the real life portions of Kate’s life–her failed dating life, her struggling with past battle wounds–to be just as atmospheric as the dark, shadowy action scenes that frame it.

It’s a transitional chapter in a lot of ways, but if the aim of this issue was to intrigue me into following the Batwoman series, it really was an effective hook. While there’s not much to say yet about the story, I’m in love with the artwork and the subtlety in the dialogue and character interactions. I’m more than surprised at just how much I enjoyed it. For the art alone, it’s worth checking out. Everything else isn’t too shabby either.

Superman: The Sunday Comics Collection Review

Superman: The Sunday Comics Collection 1939-1943

Issue #1

By Jerry Sigel and Joe Shuster

Published: May 2006

This is an interesting collection. Like the title suggests, it compiles around 200 of the first Superman comic strips. Formatted for syndication in newspapers, most of the strips are only a few panels long, with basic colours, cheesy dialogue and simple storylines. It’s a fascinating look at the origin of comics, and just how far the medium has come since then.

There’s really not a whole lot of continuity, and anybody buying this as an introduction to Superman is probably going to get only a very narrow, basic view of him. The strips, by their very nature, are far more simplistic than the books we’re used to seeing. There’s a certain charm in that, admittedly, but it’s also very much a product of its time.

It’s interesting, too, to see just what a jerk Superman started out as. He hurls people around willy-nilly, uncaring for their safety. The character has gone through several personality changes over the years, as expected from a character in print since 1939, and this Superman is, by comparison, a far simpler guy.

One thing that’s really frustrating about the book is the shape of it. It’s one of those books that are longer width-wise than height-wise, and it sticks out of my bookshelf really awkwardly. It’s too long to fit by rotating it, too. No matter what I do, it barely fits on my bookshelf. I understand that for sequential comic strips like this it’s difficult to print them in a regular-sized book, but it’s still an annoyance. It also makes the book prone to falling apart, and sure enough, my copy (which I’ve had for a few years) has almost completely come apart at the spine.

A neat book, but ultimately I’d call it a must-have only for the serious fan, or nostalgia junkies.

Batman #608 Review (Hush)

by Lindsay Young, CMRO Contributing Writer

Batman

Issue #608

Written by Jeph Loeb, Art by Jim Lee

Published: December 2002

The first “chapter” of what would later be compiled into the Batman Hush graphic novel immediately impresses me with its artwork. It’s just gorgeous, with a bleak colour scheme, as well as lots of interesting angles and POV shots from Batman himself. When Batman and Catwoman are flying through the city, it takes a turn for stunning.

I like Batman’s “voice” here, too. It’s contemplative and sombre, but not pretentiously so. His inner dialogue flows fairly effortlessly between making the reader aware of his tactical mind, but also sparing time to let his thoughts wander to places that give us a greater idea of who he is. It feels distinctly like Batman, not just any old wacko in a suit.

Despite this, there’s really not a whole lot to say about the story here. It seems to be mostly set-up, and to be fair, it does introduce several characters in engaging ways. There’s even a cute moment with a little boy moving from being frightened by Batman to being excited that he’s being rescued by Batman, and the issue uses that to explore the differences between Bruce Wayne and someone like Superman. Despite the fact that the story itself really isn’t anything that immediately grabs me, it still uses its time well, and the quick pacing is nothing to complain about.

While I’m not hugely intrigued by the plot just yet, the book does offer us a range of characters who grab my attention. It also offers great artwork and a really affecting, gothic atmosphere that I think is necessary for any good Batman series. There’s some grit and melancholy to it. This feels like a wounded, damaged, broken man in a wounded, damaged, broken city, and I’m more than willing to read on for these points alone.

Blackest Night #0 Review (Free Comic Book Day)

Blackest Night

Issue #0

Written by Geoff Johns, Art by Ivan Reis

Published: June 2009

Wolverine and is team have been playing the underdogs for a while now, and things really come to a head in this issue, when the school’s financial woes take a serious hit. Logan promptly takes off to deal with it, leaving the campus in a state of disarray as Kitty Pryde, deemed second-in-command, experiences her own setbacks.

I’ve praised the previous issues of Wolverine and the X-Men thus far, and many things that were good about the past four volumes are also good here. The school continues to be the sort of school you always want the X-men school to be: full of chaos, unique technology and tons of bizarre and powerful people, far more interesting than any highschool has the right to be. Wolverine remains a sympathetic character, too, and his efforts to keep the school open (and his burgeoning relationship to Quentin Quire) remain compelling.

Kitty’s subplot, however, I’m less thrilled about. Discovering herself pregnant, she swells up in about two days, only to find that her pregnancy is a mythic one, and that her stomach is full of flesh-eating aliens. It’s a narrative that’s not uncommon to science fiction: the horrific invasion of a woman’s body and the ensuing terror of the forced pregnancy is a plotline that has a lot of uncomfortable connotations, and I’m not sure it was a narrative that the story needed to invoke. Surely, there are other ways to jump start an alien invasion subplot? Was this symbolic violation really necessary? For me, personally, the subplot is a little too heavy, and it doesn’t necessarily jive with the generally lighter tone of the other issues.

The alien subplot that’s built up in this issue isn’t one that has be immediately intrigued, but Wolverine’s efforts to keep the school open is, and despite the misstep I personally feel the issue takes, it’s still worth reading.

Batman & Robin #1 Review (Batman Reborn)

Batman & Robin

Issue #1

Written by Grant Morrison, Art by Frank Quitely

Published: August 2009

Another book I was given for free at a convention, I finally decided to give this one a chance. It starts out with a bang, a classic car chase with what looks like television static in the background. The backgrounds get a little detailed after the chase takes them out of a car tunnel (oh, I see) and it becomes a competently drawn title, if nothing special.

It’s a Dick Grayson-as-Batman story, which admittedly I’ve always liked. There’s a nice sense of melancholy to the issue, with Bruce dead and Dick left to carry on in his wake, with a new Robin at his side who would have just as much claim to the mask as he does if only he was older. The back and forth between Dick and Damian is compelling enough, and I like them as a pair. There’s tension between them, and not a lot of respect just yet. It’s the sort of relationship that seems poised to grow and change in rewarding ways.

There’s also this feeling of getting the team back together for a new chapter in the book of Batventures, and I like that. It feels triumphant, but tempered with the melancholy of old memories and lost friends. This is the sort of conflict that Batman titles have the potential to do really well because there’s always been a certain amount of Gothicism to Batman that is lacking in other heroes. It’s why his transitions to film have arguably worked the best over the years.

The final scenes with the future antagonist are some of the creepiest I’ve ever read, with genuinely unsettling imagery and symbolism. Pyg feels genuinely threatening and dangerously insane.

This issue surprised me. While the art does little for me (it’s not a style I particularly like to begin with), it’s certainly not bad art, and the story is intriguing on several levels.

Huntress #6 Review

Huntress

Issue #6

Written by Paul Levitz, Art by Marcus To

Published: May 2012

Well, Huntress is finally drawing to a close, and while I’ve talked an awful lot about the pros and cons of the series, ultimately I’m sad but ready to see it end. The story has reached its logical point of crescendo, and I’m more than eager to see Helena utterly dominate these jerks once and for all.

Issue #6 opens with our villains calling out for Helena’s death, which gives the issue a tension that the previous issues can’t claim. Helena has always operated from the shadows, or else was brushed off by her victims. Now, at least, they’ve realized what a threat she is, and are actively out for her blood.

The issue launches right into Helena’s daring escape from the police who have a warrant for her arrest, followed by a really cool assault on the bad guys’ house, and a pretty badass intimidation scene between Helena and Ibn Hassan. Helena comes off as righteous and dangerous in this scene, and she’s never been so compelling and exciting as here, where she laughs at her own bounty and issues Hassan a challenge to make it “double or nothing.” This boldness in the character is incredibly fun, and it’s nice when it comes through in her words and not just her actions.

Once more, the art, and especially the colouring is just gorgeous in this series. It’s soft and smooth and blends gorgeously. It has a sort of pale pastel colour scheme, like a postcard of Italy you’d send home to a jealous relative.

I really love the ending too, which… without giving too much away, is fun and action-packed and makes me all the more eager for Helena’s next adventures. Overall, Huntress impressed me with its lovely art, kickass heroine, and just the right amount of feminist themes. I’d recommend Huntress to any comic book fan as a quick, fun, exciting read.

Action Comics #7 Review

Action Comics

Issue #7

Written by Grant Morrison, Art by Rags Morales

Published: May 2012

It’s been a while since I checked in on Clark Kent, but I like this whole living death museum plotline, with Superman going up against a bunch of alien robots who want to preserve both the Earth’s culture and the Kryptonian culture he barely remembers to protect it from itself. They’re a bunch of automated, obsessive collectors. That is itself is a cool premise, and eerie in a way that stays with me.

I’m not so sure I like this characterization of Superman as much as I do the premise. He seems a bit fist-happy and ready to shout instead of question thoughtfully, and while I think that the mythology and history of Superman over the years allows for this sort of characterization to ring true, it’s ultimately just not what I like out of Superman. I don’t find him terribly compelling.

The art is hit or miss. The colourling’s lovely and the sense of movement and action, especially where it concerns the title character, are really great. There are some moments with wonky expressions, however, and some odd anatomy that takes me out of it a little. Still, the art has a level of detail that is impressive.

The progression of the storyline, to me, is a bit scattered. We alternate between Lois and Lex in the jar, and Clark on the spaceship. Much of the events in the jar really failed to hold my interest, while the stuff with Clark was really interesting. Again, this might be a personal preference thing, but I only felt engaged with half the story of this issue.

There’s nothing bad about this issue, but there are no storytelling quirks or unique uses of narrative, dialogue, or character that really stand out to me. Worth a read, but not one I’ll likely read again.

Catwoman #6 Review

Catwoman

Issue #6

Written by Judd Winick, Art by Guillem March

Published: April  2012

It’s been a while since I checked in on Catwoman, and what strikes me immediately upon opening the issue is just how expressive the art is. It’s really a gorgeous looking title, and Selena’s design is a stunning one, with her big green eyes and short, tousled hair. I would be remiss if I didn’t praise this element of the title, and also point out the dynamically drawn action. Visually, the title is stunning.

Things have gotten pretty intense for Selena Kyle, who finds herself arrested and at the whims of some crooked cops who want the money she accidentally stole from them. What follows is a pretty action-heavy issue, some of which might be called a little gratuitous, but which is ultimately rewarding when Catwoman freaking rips out her attacker’s ear with her teeth. It’s pretty tough to deny how badass that is.

Catwoman’s inner monologue flows naturally, and gets across a sense of her character. It’s not too prevalent, either, which makes the issue speed along at a good pace. Her subsequent interactions with Batman are heavy and tense, filled with legitimate drama that comes from pitting two well-realized characters against one another.

The issue finds a nice middle ground between the character drama surrounding Selena’s inner demons and the action and violence of her jail escape. It’s a dark issue, one that isn’t afraid to wallow in the Gothicism of Gotham city and the entire Batman universe. While I think it runs the risk of becoming a little too dark and grim, I do admire the issue’s passion, and it backs up the emotional drama with stark illustrations and gorgeous colouring.

Catwoman is a title that has a lot to offer. Cerebral narration mixed with great art and tons of action. While some might find it a little gratuitous on the violence and drama, I found myself rather impressed with it nonetheless.

The Ray #1 Review

The Ray

Issue #1

Written by Justin Grey, Art by Jimmy Palmiotti

Published: February 2012

There’s a fun, casual sort of narrative that opens up The Ray, the first of four coming issues. There’s a wry sense of humour that informs the monologue, and it immediately endears me to the character. There’s a certain sense of self-awareness to the title that I wasn’t expecting, but it’s enjoyable self-awareness. It’s not pretentious, though; it reads as a friend relating a story to you, the reader, with an air of totally believable sarcasm.

The Ray is a book that embraces all the weirdness, the quirkiness, and the randomness of superhero comics. It takes a dry-humoured look at them before throwing its hands up and wholly participating in the odd tropes common to many popular titles.

Not only that, but Lucien’s powers are just cool. He basically turns into a beam of light, shooting around and thinking at… well, the speed of light. In a matter of seconds he vaults from California to Seattle. There are about a million ways I can think of this being used creatively and in different ways, and those are always the best kinds of super powers.

The Ray strikes an interesting middle ground between being totally zany and oddly grounded. While it participates in much silliness, it’s also self-referential in a way that gives it a unique edge. The narrative jumps around enough to keep it from being totally linear, and gives it a personality that is unique from other issues. It also allows the issue to keep up a brisk pace–issue one covers a lot of ground for only a couple dozen pages.

This issue pleasantly surprised me. For something I picked up on a whim, I’m engaged with the story and characters, the art is nice, and the superpower itself is intriguing and cool.

Huntress #5 Review

Huntress

Issue #5

Written by Paul Levits, Art by Marcus To

Published: April 2012

I’ve made no secret of my love for Huntress-the-character, and while I’ve felt that previous issues have suffered from a fairly boring antagonist, I’ve always had more good things to say than bad about the miniseries. This issue is no exception!

The issue starts out with some of Helena’s more creative efforts in tracking down her enemies. It’s fun to see her employing different techniques to get where she needs to be, and her inner dialogue rationalizes it in such a way that grooves with her characterization as a dedicated, methodical hero. It’s this blend of secret agent and superhero that really gives the title its appeal. There’s a strategy to the way Helena operates, and it’s never been more evident than it is here.

The dialogue is a bit above average this week too, with some of the best revolving around Helena’s final assault on the traffickers. Without giving too much a way, there’s a real sense of tension around this attack, and several other characters are either anticipating it or know it to be happening. When lines like, “to Helena, our vengeful devil” and “her blood is as red and weak as any woman’s,” it really gives the reader a sense of danger and drama.

The issue still suffers from boring villains who lack any real depth. There’s one goofy moment with an electric socket that seems too convenient to be true, too. But the issue is still solid, and everything that’s good about the title is still good here. Huntress thus far has proven to be a reliable title. Every week is a little different, but the good remains good no matter what. While Helena is a little distant from the reader at times, there’s a certain appeal to be found in a heroine who doesn’t need to be vulnerable or cerebral (though there is a moment in this issue where she has a minor identity crisis) and instead, just kicks some ass.

Huntress #4 Review

Huntress

Issue #4

Written by Paul Levitz, Art by Marcus To

Published: March 2012

Things are really starting to pick up in Huntress. Not that the series was slow or even uneventful before, but the time has come at last for Helena to well and truly demolish one of the scumbags we actually care about. This week, our titular heroine infiltrates the ship belonging to Moretti (the aforementioned scumbag), deftly taking out a host of goons and delivering swift (and unexpected) justice in cool, confident style.

As usual, Huntress has a great mix of action and suspense, developed mostly through Helena scouting out the territory, going over strategies in her head, and sneaking around before striking. This week, not only do we get the payoff of a confrontation between one of the major villains – The Chairman, our recently introduced Main Baddie, escapes unscathed for now – but we also get some fun character moments with Helena and her contacts, Christina and Alessandro, whose friendships continue to develop. They make a good support system for our heroine, and it’s nice to have some more positive characters around so that the utter villainy of the human traffickers doesn’t make the reader want to give up on all humanity.

My major – and only, really – issue with the series is just how boring the villains are. They’re pure evil, plain and simple, and every word out of their mouths only serves to re-establish their supreme lack of souls. The issue tries to pass it off as a result of their oppressive culture (with them as the uncaring oppressors of women) but it comes off as rather one-note. They’re just not very interesting. The irony of a lady hero swooping in to hand their asses to them is some fun irony, but that’s about where it ends.

Still, I can live without an interesting villain if the hero makes up for it, and Huntress continues to be absolutely worth the read.

Huntress #3 Review

Huntress

Issue #3

Written by Paul Levitz, Art by Marcus To

Published: February 2012

First off, Huntress #3 has a fantastic cover, with the title character collapsed in a ditch, juuuust barely out of the line of sight of a swarm of baddies. Intense! The rest of the issue doesn’t quite reach the awesome levels of this cover, but it’s still got its moments of intensity.

The greatest strength of the title is still Huntress herself, who gets a fight scene this time around with a character who is, for a few pages at least, a legitimate threat to her skill. Still, the end of the issue leaves little doubt as to who has the upper hand, and the action in Huntress always highlights just how very strong and quick the title character is. It’s hard not to like it for that.

With the introduction of a new villain, however, it’s becoming more obvious that Huntress is not a title interested in subtlety. The antagonists are irredeemably bad, pure slimebags in every sense of the word. This would be fine if they were particularly interesting in other ways – if they had extreme hubris or charm, or if they exhibited some more subtle character traits beyond merely being unpleasant.

But they don’t. As a result, they’re rather boring. Any time the issue strays away from the title character, it becomes pretty standard fare, not much to keep the reader’s interest until the next great scene of Helena either fighting or sussing out her situation in true Huntress fashion. Those scenes are the strength of the title, and while they still work, the rest of the plot is growing a little thin, for me.

The issue does end on a pretty cool note, however, which does lend itself well to anticipation of the fourth issue. Overall, Huntress is worth a read, even if it does have pretty boring villains.
