The Doctor saved Ruby from a fiery death. But then the Scream Sommelier stole Maria. Will his Cybermen kill the girl like they shot the shoppers in the last mall on Earth? Let's grab our sonic screwdrivers, leap into Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor #4, and see!

 

Story

The Scream Sommelier wants to hear the Doctor scream. He traps the TARDIS in a pocket dimension, but the Doctor refuses to add his fear to the god’s collection. But Ruby’s scream gives the TARDIS a roadmap back to Earth. Now, the Doctor stands in Sanctum Shopping and Dining, wishing the shoppers had nabbed the complimentary tickets for the Holo Theater on the fifteenth floor.

 

Still, the shoppers feel remorse over letting the death of their friends transform them into a mob. Perhaps they can help the Doctor rescue Maria. The Scream Sommelier craves the Doctor's scream. But maybe the shoppers can offer him something else.

 

In Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor #4, the Doctor wants to rescue Maria. But he also wants to know where she belongs. Unlike the shoppers, the little girl didn’t choose to remain in the mall when the last spaceships left Earth. But Maria’s fear is a potent force and gives the Scream Sommelier the means to kill.

 

Dan Watters’ story shows how fear drives us to acts of hatred and intolerance. But fear can also inspire others to acts of hope and inclusion. As the Doctor seeks to frighten the Scream Sommelier, he discovers that what he fears is instead a strength.

 

 

 

Art

Kneeling before the TARDIS, the Doctor clutches Maria’s teddy bear. But when he pulls open a fold of fur, what hides inside the bear spurs him into action. Maria stands amid rows of bottles, their labels marked by writing more akin to a serial killer than a sommelier. The Doctor clutches Maria's bear as he addresses the shoppers from the top of the escalator while Cybermen march across the cobblestones between the shelves of bottles.

 

Valentina Bianconi lavishes vibrant color on Kelsey Ramsay’s art in Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor #4. Swirls of yellow smoke surround the Scream Sommelier. A woman with pink hair shares similar features with other women the Doctor and Ruby met in their travels. Blues and greens dominate the last shopping mall on Earth, belying the residents' fears of Earth's fiery death. But red energy infuses the yellow atmosphere below the surface as the Scream Sommelier opts for a consolation prize.

 

Richard Starkings & Tyler Smith conjure large black uppercase letters into white dialogue balloons and narrative boxes bordered by character-specific colors. Words embolden for intonation and swell for volume. Enlarged scarlet dialogue fills pages with fear while rounded Vworps banish it. Thanks to Titan Comics for providing a copy for review. 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

Maria's visit to Sanctum Shopping and Dining was birthed in catastrophe. Ruby's attempt to emulate the Doctor ended in heartbreak. While the Doctor seeks to turn tragedy into triumph in Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor #4, he demonstrates that sometimes a perceived ending is a new beginning.

 

Rating 9.5/10

Groo: Minstrel Melodies #3 Review

 

Writers: Sergio Aragonés & Mark Evanier

Illustrator: Sergio Aragonés

Colorist: Carrie Strachan

Letterer: Stan Sakai

Cover Artist: Sergio Aragonés

Editors: Philip R Simon & Rose Weitz

Designer: May Hijikuro

Digital Art Technician: Adam Pruett

Prepress: Darby McCann

Publisher: Dark Horse

Price: $4.99

Release Date: November 13, 2024

 

The minstrel regaled customers in the inn with tales of Groo’s kindness to orphans. As they left Boyce, his daughter requested he tell his ode about the teachers next. So, when he and Kayli discover people seated in an Amphitheater, the minstrel offers to entertain them until the scheduled guest arrives. Will the audience welcome a song about the minstrel's favorite wandering barbarian? Let's tune up our lutes, leap into Groo: Minstrel Melodies #3, and find out!

 

Story

The crowd tells the minstrel that they await a great teacher. Yet when the minstrel tells them about Groo’s adventures in teaching, they jeer. Undaunted, he mentions a teacher once tried to teach Groo how to read and write. Like the minstrel, Abecedario doesn’t give up when Groo fails to progress. But then, Groo is so amiable. What could be more pleasant than devoting his final years to helping the wandering barbarian?

 

In Groo: Minstrel Melodies #3, our hero recognizes a word on a sign and misinterprets the writer’s intent. Still, Groo is grateful for Abecedario’s teaching. He wants to repay Abecedario’s kindness by passing on his skills. First, Groo shows people how he does things. But they can't replicate what comes naturally to him. So, Groo decides to teach people how to fight. He’s good at that, right?

 

Most generals know that an army wins more battles by working together and following strategies. Groo’s response to conflict injures friends and foes alike. So, Groo teaches townspeople a skill that will protect their livelihoods. Strangely, they don’t ask him for another lesson either.

 

Sergio Aragonés and Mark Evanier’s story reminds us that mastering skills doesn't mean you can impart them to others. It also reveals some interesting responses to education. Adults readily assume they know enough to get by. Even when someone demonstrates skills that could improve their lives, they prefer doing things like they’re used to. Yet all too often, they will empty their leather pouches of Kopins to hear a speaker with credentials and a reputation for excellence, even if they learn nothing of value.

 

Art

The minstrel sits on a broken stone pillar, evoking the ruins that impressed Groo in Restos. Birds flutter down upon the arbor to watch. Sergio Aragonés uses puffy cloud dividers to showcase the Minstrel and Groo in the same panels. Adults respond to Groo with dumbfounded expressions or run away in terror. An exception is a woman with Princess Leia hair and a similarly fiery temperament. Children return Groo’s smiles. Were they orphans, they would likely welcome him as a parent. The minstrel’s magical song conjures a dragon, a volcano, an octopus, a character close to a certain letterer’s heart, and other delights to dance upon the neck of his lute.

 

Carrie Strachan lavishes a loaded palette on Groo: Minstrel Melodies #3. The minstrel's hat and collar match Groo’s toga, while the coins spilling out of his treasure chest match Rufferto’s coat and the minstrel's lute. While Groo sports yellow and small amounts of red, he trains an army clad in red with small amounts of yellow. A school teacher’s lavender dress matches the distant hills and the top of the great teacher's wagon. Yet the blue banners in the Amphitheater are a perfect match for Abecedario’s headband and robe.

 

Stan Sakai fills white balloons with generously sized uppercase black dialogue and adorns the minstrel’s lowercase lyrics with red music notes. Rufferto and people's thoughts appear in cloudy balloons, and raised voices appear in stars and tan. After banners bookend Groo’s adventures in instructing, a silent one-page Rufferto story reminds us that people may not always appreciate our help (even if we don’t burn down their village to make them rich). Thanks to Dark Horse Comics for providing a copy for review.

 

Final Thoughts

In Groo: Minstrel Melodies #3, Groo learns that because you excel at something doesn’t mean adults will want to learn from you. Still, if you embrace life with a positive attitude, children may welcome you as their mentor.

 

Rating 9.6/10

Minor Arcana #3 Review

 

Writer, Artist & Colorist: Jeff Lemire

Letterer: Steve Wands

Cover Artists: Jeff Lemire, Frany, Gabriel H Walta & Jesse Lonergan

Designers: Tom Muller & Grace Park

Editors: Maya Bollinger, Eric Harburn & Matt Gagnon

Publisher: Boom! Studios

Price: $4.99

Release Date: November 13, 2024

 

Something is happening in Limberlost that defies Theresa’s understanding. Her first psychic reading for Jean Tremblay frightens Theresa. While she fled the insanity of the experience for the calming succor of bourbon, a beggar observed Theresa’s dilemma. He wondered aloud at the trials awaiting her, seemingly speaking with an invisible presence. What does fate have in store for Theresa? And can she do anything to prepare for the challenges ahead? Let’s grab our Tarot decks, leap into Minor Arcana #3, and find out!

 

Story

After returning to Limberlost, Theresa visited Melissa’s house. She watched her High School friend through the window. But the sight of Melissa’s husband banished any thoughts of a reunion. After leaving the Crown Tavern in Minor Arcana #3, Theresa walks toward Melissa’s house. Once, they were closer than sisters. Perhaps they can’t return to that earlier time. Still, Theresa needs Melissa.

 

Sadly, their impromptu 4 am reunion doesn’t go well. Instead, it reminds Melissa that her High School is a drama queen, and her husband drives Theresa home in a squad car. Brad’s concerns are less mystical than Theresa’s. Still, as Theresa hints at what she experienced, Brad admits that the world may extend beyond what he can touch and see.

 

Kelly McCabe introduced herself when Theresa couldn't face her mother. In Minor Arcana #3, Theresa returns to Stella's Café, and Kelly pours her a coffee. They weren't friends in High School, but they knew each other. Past events drove a wedge between her and Melissa, but Kelly seems interested in Theresa's dilemma. Admitting the truth to a friendly face makes clear what Theresa should do. Now that the alcohol has left her system, Theresa needs the courage to follow her instincts.

 

In Jeff Lemire's story, Theresa faces many battles. She struggles with an inferiority complex. Yet, as Brad admits, Theresa is capable and intelligent. She may have trouble letting people into her life, but Kelly seems willing to befriend her.

 

Perhaps the biggest struggle looming over Theresa in Minor Arcana #3 is her relationship with her mother. When she carved out her beliefs and outlook during her teen years, Theresa decided Vickie was a fraud. Yet, Theresa’s psychic experience clashes with her narrow definitions of reality. She can continue pushing away people and limiting her prospects. Or Theresa can take a page from Brad's book and open herself to new experiences, even if they defy reason.

 

Art

While two goth teens discover the uplifting magic of friendship in her memories, Theresa walks beneath glowing streetlights. Clad in her grandfather's old jacket, sweater, pants, and half-laced-up hightops, she knocks on Melissa's door. While Theresa's expression gravitates between anger, hopelessness, and pleading, Melissa's face remains an angry mask. Yet her hair hints at the same wildness as Theresa’s. Of the three, Brad’s face hints at amusement and concern. Perhaps it is his elfin ears. Still, he radiates peace and caring as the squad car rolls down the street beside the river and the cannery looms in the background.

 

Theresa's red and green jacket suggests the vitality she brings to Limberlost. Brad's blue uniform enhances the green and blue that defines the small town. In the red and purple psychic shop, Theresa clasps the crystal ball. It responds with a hint of yellow but no new revelation. In Stella's Café, Kelly's blond hair echoes the yellow energy that united Theresa and Melissa. Kelly's blue shirt echoes Brad's receptiveness, while her red pendant echoes the red in Theresa's grandfather's jacket. But amid the flowing watercolors of Minor Arcana #3, Jeff Lemire lavishes the most color on Theresa's reunion with Jean Tremblay.

 

Steve Wands conjures black uppercase letters into white dialogue balloons and narrative boxes. Frequent intonation emboldens and enlarges words. If Theresa’s pounding suggests a cry for help, the slam that makes Brad flinch feels like repudiation. Yet not all knocks will prove unwelcome in Limberlost. Thanks to Boom! Studios for providing a copy for review.

 

Final Thoughts

Theresa fights to throw off the shackles of her limited viewpoint and embrace a new outlook that will allow her to grow. Perhaps it’s not a religious experience. But in Minor Arcana #3, Theresa ponders the possibility of rebirth.

 

Rating 10/10

Amazing Spider-Man #61 Review

Aunt May wants Peter to help her with the FEAST center. Shay Marken wants a relationship with him. Randy Robertson tries to further Peter’s photography career by being his agent. Spider-Boy wants Spider-Man to train him. Still, Spider-Man won't let a fiery new villain unsettle his professional, personal, and superhero life, right? So what happens when Doctor Doom offers Spidey a life extension? Let's thwip into Amazing Spider-Man #61 and find out!

 

Story

Shay challenged him to become the Amazing Peter Parker. Aunt May, Randy, and Bailey Briggs also want to share his life. Trying to satisfy his friends and loved ones overwhelms Peter. And the demands never stop. Norman Osborn tried to give Peter a career at Oscorp. But that situation endangered his friends and drew him into policing shady business affairs. A return to the Daily Bugle isn't happening. So, in Amazing Spider-Man #61, Peter embarks on a new career with Randy and lets everyone down.

 

Being Spider-Man is central to Peter’s life because he cares about people. He doesn’t want to end up like Tombstone, filled with power and success but lacking in friends. So, while Spider-Man fights people like Tombstone and rescues people from danger, Peter also fights to support friends and loved ones. Sadly, another villain wants a piece of Spidey's action. 

 

 

 

 

Tombstone tricked Spider-Man into helping him win the New York Gang War. Now, Doctor Doom appeals to Spidey for help. If Spider-Man says No, people die. Doom claims Doctor Strange agreed to a recurring contest between Cyttorak and Earth because he craved more power. Yet Doom mentions the Darkhold, an ancient book of evil written by the elder god Chthon. The Darkholders used spells in the book to create Varnae. That vampire possessed Blade and killed Doctor Strange, prompting Strange's spirit to appeal for help from Doctor Doom. Like Tombstone in the Gang War, Doom protected Latveria from a vampiric invasion and emerged from Blood Hunt as Sorcerer Supreme.

 

In Joe Kelly's story, Spider-Man can't sit back and wait for Doom to play his hand. Cyntros, the first demigod to attack Earth, wields the power that controls the cosmos. While Spider-Man fights to protect people, he must figure out what Doom wants and why the Sorcerer Supreme selected him as Earth's champion. When will Peter Parker get his life together, Aunt May? It won't be in Amazing Spider-Man #61!

 

 

 

 

Art

Ed McGuinness and Mark Farmer portray the barely controlled chaos of Spider-Man's life as items tumble out of his pack while protecting Kevin from Burnout. They contrast the midair fight with Peter's grimaces and shrugs to his friends. A Deadpool patch on Peter's satchel suggests his life would be easier if Spider-Man killed foes rather than apprehending or reforming them. Doom turns an untrained fiery foe into a flock of Phoenixes, further complicating Peter's life. Doctor Doom stands imperious, clad in his metal armor, green tunic, and the Sorcerer Supreme’s Cloak Of Levitation.

 

Later, Spider-Man stalks a roof, gesturing his frustrations over meeting everyone's expectations. The graffiti suggests that New York declines when Peter neglects his superhero duties. Spider-Boy stands before mockups of two A-list villains constructed from wood and metal cans. Then sparks fly from Spider-Boy's head, and he shrinks as Spidey thwips into the sky.

 

 

 

Marcio Menyz lavishes bold colors upon Spider-Man’s fight with Burnout and his meetup with Doctor Doom. Peter spends time with friends and Aunt May amid softer pastels. Cyntros glows red and wields yellow energy that colors captured objects orange and brown. Niko Henrichon adorns pages with a smoky montage of characters' expressions, actions, and a moment that evokes Doctor Strange’s divining on Titan in Avengers: Infinity War. Doom fades away in his green, silver, and red when he clads his champion in green, silver, and red in Amazing Spider-Man #61.  

 

Joe Caramagna’s uppercase black lettering in dialogue balloons and narrative boxes grows bold for inflection, swells and changes color for increased volume, and shrinks for lowered voices. Enlarged and colored dialogue threatens to burst dialogue balloons in Amazing Spider-Man #61. Sound effects introduce a demigod, slam home the futility of fighting Cyntros without help, and remind Spider-Man of his inability to satisfy everyone. Yet an enlarged red scream reminds us that there's no such thing as a free lunch (or life extension). Thanks to Marvel for providing a copy for review.

 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

Doctor Doom tricked Doctor Strange into giving up the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. In Amazing Spider-Man #61, Doom manipulates Spider-Man into defending Earth in a cosmic contest. If he survives, perhaps Peter Parker will learn why Doom picked him over all of Earth’s mightiest heroes. But first, a man who can’t safely deliver a Rick Jones record to his girlfriend must defeat eight demigods.

 

Rating 9.8/10
