Escape From Skull Island #2 Review

Editor: Louis Yamani

Designer: Dan Bura

Finding the Hollow Earth was a dream come true for Cap. But his son regards life on Skull Island as a nightmare. While Irene sides with Charley, her daughter Annie calls Skull Island home. But whether they like it or not, Skull Island is changing. People like Druid have plans for the island and its neighbor. Kaia, the leader of the indigenous inhabitants, believes Yuggoth remains a threat. Will Skull Island prove as difficult to escape from as Gilligan's Island? And why haven’t Cap and Sam returned? Let's grab our weapons, leap into Escape From Skull Island #2, and see!

 

Story

As long-time residents of the region, Kaia and Annie have much in common. Yet both are displaced. Kaia's people now live on Annie's island, while Annie resides on Skull Island. But the beasts rising from the pit don't care about upsetting people's lives. So as they ride together, Annie resists Kaia’s leadership, even if Kaia’s trying to save her life.

 

Charlie created this war with the Hollow Earth. For a long time, Kaia couldn't look at Charlie without blaming him for Kong's distress and the creatures rising from the Hollow Earth. Yet while Charlie yearns to return home, Kaia grows more comfortable with him. In Escape From Skull Island #2, Kaia tries to help Charlie achieve something she believes he wants.

 

Simon Furman spins a fast-paced yarn. Scenes interweave through time, placing the thrilling finale shortly after the story began. While Annie’s yearning for independence dominates the drama, the mystery surrounding Druid deepens. Once again, Irene yearns to get closer to Annie. But while Irene tries to build bridges to her daughter, Druid’s crew is building a bridge between the two islands. When his workers complete it, the horrors that arise from the pit will threaten not just the castaways, but also Kaia’s displaced tribe in Escape From Skull Island #2.

 

Art

Mushrooms sprout from the flagstones while vines and foliage grow over Kong's temple. His sculpture and a waterfall provide a scenic backdrop to the titan's residence. Yet as an insectile creature climbs from the dark pit, a paw bursts through one of the strange egg-like sacks hanging from support beams. As for Kong, Christopher Jones shows Annie and Kaia charging through a swamp on their steeds. The ladies speed past trees with twisted aerial roots. But the two battling titans tumble faster toward them.

 

Charlie Kirchoff lavishes a loaded palette of vibrant colors on Christopher Jones’ action-packed art in Escape From Skull Island #2. Even as darkness falls, the rich blue sky matches the gentle waves lapping against the shore where the castaways have pitched their tent. A yellow and white fire dances around the cookpot hanging from a tripod above a stone ring, while Kaia stands on lookout, clutching her spear. Annie crouches next to Dog, while Charlie sits apart. A haze obscures a memory of their last explosive battle between Kong and Yuggoth. But the purple and gray hull of the Leviathan links with Sam and Cap’s clothing, as they ponder Druid’s plans.

 

Andworld Design fills white dialogue balloons and colored narrative boxes with black uppercase letters. The letters grow bold for intonation, swell for raised voices, and shrink for lowered voices. As yellow block letters locate us in time and space, Kong’s roars enlarge the letters and deform balloons. Sound effects accompany injuries, cries, and shrieks, as gunshots and explosions rock the gateway linking the castaways to Yuggoth’s growing army. Thanks to Titan Comics for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Kaia is a stranger on her island home. Her new comrades seem divided physically and emotionally. Yet as the newcomers bicker and fight, the tribal chieftain attempts to guide a visitor from “civilization” through one of the most difficult stages of life in Escape From Skull Island #2.

 

Rating 9.8/10

Black Star #1 Preview

 

Superman fans know Kristin Kreuk as Clark Kent's first love in Smallville. But before she appeared as Lana Lang, Kristin became a fairy tale princess in Snow White: The Fairest of them All. Along with superheroes and fairy tales, Kristin also ventured into the science fiction realm. The actress brought Ursula K Le Guin's character, the priestess Tenar, to life in the Earthsea minseries. 

Now, like Captain Jack Sparrow, Kristin Kreuk is sailing on stranger tides. And instead of streaming her journey to your TV, she's gonna rock your comic shop. What genre will the actress tackle? And who will help bring her first comic story to life? 

Here's all the info from Titan Comics:

 

SMALLVILLE’S KRISTIN KREUK MARKS  

COMIC BOOK DEBUT WITH “BLACK STAR” - A NEW GOTHIC HORROR FROM TITAN COMICS!

 

 

Globally renowned publisher Titan Comics are thrilled to be publishing Black Star (in stores and digital devices July 29, 2026) a debut comic series by acclaimed actress Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Reacher, Murder in a Small Town). Co-written with Peter Mooney (Rookie Blue, Mistletoe Murders) and screenwriter Eric Putzer, and illustrated by artist Joe Bocardo (Nightwalkers, The Hexiles), this five-issue series is a Northern Gothic noir steeped in horror and dark humour.

Amidst skirmishes between two warring factions in the early nineteenth-century fur trade, Dashiell Carlyle discovers he has magical abilities… and that he's not alone. Thrust into a secret order with designs to use their magic to build a new and better world, Dashiell discovers that their utopia may come at a horrific cost.

It's a violent world: gritty, bloody, and dark. But that's balanced with a sense of discovery and awe. The storytelling’s propulsive, and the morality grey. It's The Revenant meets Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. It's a love letter to a frozen corner of the world that few know. It's weird. And wonderful. And something wholly its own.

 

“Black Star was born while Peter, Eric, and I were filming “Burden of Truth” in Winnipeg.” said Kristin Kreuk. “We were inspired by the city’s lore and, because we worked so well together, began spending our spare time on set (and then, for years afterwards) developing our own take on the history and magic we imagined pulsing beneath its surface, shaping the rhythms of the city and the battles raging just beyond our view.”  

“Sometimes people come to my hometown and they can’t see past its rough edges or inhospitable weather. But it was clear Kristin and Eric could see right into the strangeness that makes Winnipeg so unique,” said co-writer Peter Mooney. “This isn’t so much an alternative history, but an omitted chapter that’s been lost to time. It’s bizarre and fantastical and entirely imagined — but it goes a long way towards explaining why the city is how it is today.”  

“There’s an intimacy to comics that no other form quite achieves; the reader controls the rhythm, the breath, the revelation,” said co-writer Eric Putzer. “In a story about power and human nature, we felt that intimacy necessary to make the reader an active part of the exchange.” -  

"For a comic book artist, working on a series as ambitious and well-written as Black Star is a gift,” said artist Joe Bocardo. “But if you also work on it with a talented and friendly team that gives you creative freedom, then it's not a gift; it's a privilege."

“Set in the eerie, snow-blanketed wasteland of early 19th Century Winnipeg, this is magic as you’ve never seen it before,” said Titan Comics editor, Jake Devine. “Hopeful yet bleak, miraculous yet insidious, and only time will tell if the prize is worth the cost. Readers are going to be swept away by Joe Bocardo’s mesmerising artwork as it envelops them in a story filled with awe and tragedy.”

Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1 Review

 

Here's an edited version of a comic I originally reviewed three years ago. It's currently free to read on Neon Ichiban. 

 

Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1 Review

Writer: Mike Mignola

Artist & Colorist: Jesse Lonergan

Letterer: Clem Robins

Cover Artists: Jesse Lonergan; Mike Mignola with Dave Stewart

Publisher: Dark Horse

Price: $3.99

Release Date: May 17, 2023

 

In 1883, Tefnut Trionus, the Queen of the Heliotropic Brotherhood, asked Miss Truesdale to attend her. She realized that the men of their order—dedicated to preserving the secrets of a long-forgotten age--were making Miss Truesdale's life difficult. But how can Tefnut—the reincarnation of Eugene Remy, who founded the Heliotropic Brotherhood—force Victorian gentlemen to accord Miss Truesdale more respect? Let's unsheathe our swords, leap into Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1, and find out!

 

Story

After making the arduous journey from England to France, Miss Truesday attends Tefnut Trionus. Like the god Anum-Ra, Tefnut's vision ranges far and wide. But Tefnut is a mortal. She believes she has received her final vision. And the person she wants to share it with is Miss Truesdale.

 

In Tefnut's dream, one woman spends her days in the gladiatorial ring. The second brings her food and drink after her battles. The servant views the axe-wielding warrior as the savior of her people. But the gladiator, who has wearied of these games of slaughter, sees them as equals.

 

After discussing Tefnut's dream, Miss Truesdale returns home. Weary after another long journey, she seeks divine help in incorporating the vision into her daily life. Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1 speaks to how governments stratify society to control the population. Yet Mike Mignola’s story reminds us that, despite the odds stacked against us, anyone can become a leader.

 

Art

Jesse Lonergan's hand-drawn imagery imbues his characters with personality. He shows how violence excites us without glamorizing the brutality of the gladiatorial ring. Most Hyperboreans look large and roughly shaped in Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1.

 

The characters of this earlier age contrast with Tefnut, the prim and proper Miss Truesdale, and the Victorian gentlemen of the brotherhood. The architecture of this earlier age also contrasts with Victorian London, as Miss Truesdale walks along the cobblestone streets to her well-appointed flat. Although the males of her order may not respect her, she seems respectful, erudite, and reverent.

 

Lonergan employs a limited color palette in Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1. Yellow, red, brown, and gray are his primary colors. He dabs darker tones or contrasting colors to build depth and interest. His faces evoke Roman frescoes assembled from tiny clay tiles.

 

Letterer Clem Robins fills white balloons with uppercase black lettering. Words in beige boxes locate us in time and space. Sound effects fill the air as the crowd’s chanting rebounds off the stands circling the arena. Thanks to Neon Ichiban and Dark Horse Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

When Tefnut Trionus, the Queen of the Heliotropic Brotherhood, believes her days on the throne are nearing their end. After looking around for a replacement, she summons a shy true believer to her flat in Paris. Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1 illustrates how easy it is to fall into society’s roles, and the courage it takes to expand beyond them.

 

Rating 8/10

 

To read, set up a Neon Ichiban account. Once you've "bought" it, you can read it anytime. But Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1 may only be free this week.  

 

To travel back in time (and be appalled by my poor writing), read my original review of Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea #1.

The Girl Who Draws on Whales Spotlight

 

 

Like a pier jutting out over the water, Wangi's town perches on stilts. When the whales arrive each year, the girl abandons her hammock and dives into the sea. The whales swim around this cluster of homes that represents Wangi's world. Yet each one dwarfs this small enclave of Humanity. 

Despite the village elder's fears, the whales regard their Human neighbors peacefully. Maaha, the pod's leader, even lets Wangi fingerpaint on him. As Wangi adorns Maaha with art, the girl speaks with Maaha, and the pod leader responds. What stories about life do Maaha and Wangi share? And how will Wangi's love for whales affect her future?

Here's all the info from Comixology and Dark Horse Books: 

The Girl Who Draws on Whales

Writer & Artist: Ariela Kristantina

Colorist: Sarah Stern

Letterer: Bernardo Brice

 

The highly anticipated original graphic novel, The Girl Who Draws on Whales, written and illustrated by Ariela Kristantina, the artist of the Eisner award-nominated original graphic novel Adora and the Distance written by Marc Bernardin, arrives digitally on September 23, 2025, from Comixology Originals, Amazon’s exclusive digital content line and in print from Dark Horse Books on March 31, 2026.

 

In The Girl Who Draws on Whales, Kristantina takes readers on a powerful and atmospheric journey through a lush island environment inspired by her homeland of Indonesia. With soft and inspiring colors by Sarah Stern, letters by Bernardo Brice, and edits by Will Dennis, The Girl Who Draws on Whales is a captivating and visually stunning story of exploration and discovery. This epic YA adventure marks the first-ever graphic novel that Kristantina has both written and illustrated.

 

Blending Southeast Asian folklore with themes of colonization and the unshakable power of art and storytelling, The Girl Who Draws on Whales is a coming-of-age story about resistance, siblinghood, and believing in your voice—even when no one else does.

 

“This story is about trust. About believing in yourself. About what happens when no one else does, except the one person who always will,” says Ariela Kristantina.

 

Siblings Wangi and her younger brother Banyu live in a sea-village in a post-apocalyptic world, centuries after The Great Flood changed the face of the world. Wangi shares a mysterious bond with the whales that visit their waters and they allow her to draw on their backs. One day a whale arrives alone, wounded and adorned with strange new markings that seem to carry messages from other lost settlements. Wangi believes it’s a call for help. No one listens—except Banyu.

 

Motivated by this mystery, Wangi vows to investigate. Although forbidden by their parents and the village elders, Wangi and Banyu embark on a wondrous sea journey into the unknown, only to stumble into a much larger fight: one that pits ancient sea magic against a volcanic empire fueled by war, greed, and conquest. Together, they must fight to save their home in The New World.

 

The Girl Who Draws on Whales is a testimony to the power of stories—their uncanny ability to entertain, educate and, ultimately, unite us.

 

About Ariela Kristantina: Kristantina is an artist from Jakarta, Indonesia. Since her debut in 2014, she's best known for her work on InSeXts, Mata Hari, Deep State, and The Logan Legacy. She has contributed covers and illustrations to a range of companies including Image, DC Comics, Top Cow, Vault and more. Kristantina is the artist of the 2022 Eisner award-nominated original graphic novel Adora and the Distance which she co-created with Marc Bernardin. The Girl Who Draws on Whales is the first YA graphic novel she has written and drawn.

DC x AEW #2 Review

 

Writer: Steve Orlando

Penciler: Travis Mercer

Inkers: Travis Mercer & John Livesay

Colorist: Andrew Dalhouse

Letterer: Josh Reed

Cover Artists: Serg Acuña, Ricardo López Ortiz & Gian Galang

Editor: Michael McCalister

Publisher: DC Comics

Price: $3.99/$4.99 Card Stock

Release Date: March 11, 2026

 

Speedster Wally West and Green Lantern Kyle Rayner have tangled with the champs of Wrestling Across The Multiverse. When WAM visits a planet, it's not usually a great thing for the people living there. Sadly, WAM's latest visit to Earth to battle the All Elite Wrestling champs doesn't change that record. Angered by losing to AEW’s Mercedes Moné, the dethroned WAM champ Deceilia Starshame breaks the Big Galactic Belt.

 

Shorn of the alloy that covered the Element X belt, the unstable X shards tear space-time as they scatter across the planet. Earth's superhero community teams up with the AEW champs to find them. But there's more villainy afoot than opportunists using the X shards to increase their power. How will Mercedes Moné and Lex Luthor use the Big Galactic Belt to reshape reality? And can anyone step into the ring to defeat them? Let's leap into DC x AEW #2 and see!

 

Story

The WAM wrestlers are used to traveling to planets facing disaster. After their fallen champ unleashes chaos, the intergalactic wrestlers flee back to The Hub, leaving the Justice League Elite to pick up the pieces. The superheroes pair off with AEW wrestlers in a global scavenger hunt. After Aquaman and Mercedes Moné found the final piece, they traveled to Kahndaq to reforge the Big Galactic Belt. Like the DC K.O. champion, who commanded the Heart of Apokolips to do their bidding, Mercedes Moné and Lex Luthor aim to use the belt to reshape the world as they see fit.

 

In DC x AEW #2, the Justice League heroes and their AEW teammates battle DC villains. On the Justice League Watchtower, Martian Manhunter telepathically coordinates with the scattered teams. Despite knowing that Lex and Mercedes could reshape their reality or strike them from existence, how these heroes triumph is as important as defeating their foes.

 

Steve Orlando pairs the dauntless duos according to their personalities. Where and whom they fight may resonate with their past, or that of their parents. These odd couples may not like or trust each other. Yet the stakes they fight for are greater than the differences separating them.

 

Mercedes Moné won the Big Galactic Belt using dubious tactics. Lex Luthor is a better tactician than a fighter. As champions of their respective worlds, neither likes sharing power. Yet, after using their ingenuity to wield absolute power, both “CEOs” must fight to retain the power to hold the world to ransom in DC x AEW #2.

 

Art

Lex Luthor’s high-tech armor glows amid the inscribed stone pillars as Mercedes Moné’s belt crackles with energy. Aquaman and Mercedes regard each other in an inset close-up, separated by the object that came between them. Mr. Terrific and J’onn utilize holographic monitors on the Watchtower, while the Big Galactic Belt's crackling energy prompts lightning to shake the League of Assassins' mountain stronghold. Modern towers rise in the distance as Jon Moxley and Guy Gardner fight in a park, while Harley Quinn plays Smash or Pass amid the celestial interior design of the Royal Flush Gang's command center.

 

Andrew Dalhouse lavishes a loaded palette on Travis Mercer and John Livesay's rapid-fire action scenes in DC x AEW #2. While the purple in Lex's green suit links him with Mercedes, green power flows across the globe. John Stewart and Guy Gardner utilize their Green Lantern powers to defeat their foes. Echidna, Johnny Sorrows’ Shaggoth Dogs, and the Joker's hair and shirt link the villains with Lex Luthor. Deimos, Zatanna, and Toni Storm wield pink magic, while Darby Allin's pink jacket and Lady Nightingale's pink and purple outfit suggest the need to choose our mentors wisely.

 

Josh Reed uses white block letters to introduce locales, as letters in colored boxes convey off-camera dialogue. Uppercase black letters in white dialogue balloons grow bold for intonation and swell for raised voices, while extreme emotion makes balloons spiky. Amid hand-to-hand combat, weapons fighting, and gunshots, pinging fills the air, giving one DC K.O. combatant another chance to preserve reality in DC x AEW #2. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

As villains look for easy victories, heroes know that the best futures are the ones we fight for every day. They're impatient to prevent Lex Luthor and Mercedes Moné from reshaping reality. Yet the AEW wrestlers and their Justice League Elite teammates remain in each troubled region until safeguarding the locals from the villains who threaten them in DC x AEW #2.

 

Rating 9.6/10

Dan believes in looking after himself. The zombie detective frequents a beauty parlor run by morticians, who devote their energies to keeping his hair, skin, and body in peak shape. He doesn't want to be one of those zombies who lets himself go, and have his lips or jaw fall off during an important conversation. Besides, Dan has a career, friends who care about him, and a business to run. What foes will Dan encounter during his latest investigation? And how will the villains rock the Unnatural Quarter?

Here's all the info from Kevin J Anderson:

Comixology Originals Presents Parapsychologist,

A Comedic Family Drama and Paranormal Mystery About a Therapist with an Unusual Clientele

Co-Created by Taki Soma and Mark Schey With Art by Cat Farris

 

The Original Graphic Novel Arrives March 31, 2026

 

Hot on the heels of her series Alienated, HUGO award-nominated cartoonist Taki Soma (Sleeping While Standing) and co-writer Mark Schey present the original graphic novel Parapsychologist. Parapsychologist, is a comedic family drama and mystery that follows a therapist whose patients are paranormal beings with human-like issues. Featuring art and colors by Cat Farris (The Ghoul Next Door), letters by Chris Northrop, and edits by Mary E. Brickthrower, Parapsychologist debuts digitally on March 31, 2026, from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line.

 

“I take psychotherapy very seriously, having been a patient on and off for decades,” says Taki Soma. “So, while Parapsychologist is fiction and a comedy, I want to break the taboo a little, to make people feel understood, and less alone in their pain because I’ve been there: trauma, sadness, tragedy, loneliness." Soma continues, "I hope Parapsychologist gives readers a laugh and maybe a little feeling of recognition along the way.”

 

In Parapsychologist Dr. Ron Richards is a therapist with a degree in psychology who has unintentionally found a specialty treating . . . gulp, paranormal beings. From poltergeists with agoraphobia, werewolves struggling with their toxic masculinity, to a ghost stuck in limbo due to unfinished business—Ron treats them all, while navigating the chaos of his own family life. So, when a former patient arrives intent on destroying him, his practice, and his family, Dr. Richards and his new receptionist must work together to outsmart the evil.

 

“Taki and I wanted to create a story that felt deeply personal yet uniquely entertaining,” says Mark Schey. “When we set out to begin this tale about mental health disguised as a comedic paranormal story, we also happened to enter what would become some of the hardest years of our lives. There’s nothing quite like putting your sense of humor on display during one of the most difficult moments of your life. We were barely holding it together, but we pushed through and found the process therapeutic." Schey continues, "We are hopeful people will connect with the story and are grateful to everyone who gives it a chance.”
