New Titans #35 Preview

 

Dick Grayson had heard of, "Don't drink the water." But, "Don't drink the coffee" was new to him. At home in Titan's Tower, Dick didn't understand why the coffee machine should be speaking to him. Weirder yet, why wouldn't it want him to drink the delicious beverage it brewed him and his friends. Yet, unlike his friends, Dick sensed that he needed change. So, he took the coffee machine's advice. Unlike his team, when Batgirl arrived with others, Dick differentiated them from the foes they battled everyday.

After the Omega Tournament, Superman shared alpha energy with the other competitors. It empowered the combatants. The energy gave them visions of the future, and goals to work toward. How will the alpha energy change the Titans? And will Dick Grayson like the changes he sensed that he needed?

End Of Life #4 Preview

 

 

Eddie Stallion had it all. His job as a Menagerie hitman gave him an exciting life, expensive cigarettes, and beautiful women. But when his job with the Murder Brothers disrespected the Raven, the regional boss unleashed the full might of the Menagerie on their sneaker-collecting hitman. So Eddie fled to the last place he ever thought he'd return. George Stallion let him sleep in his old room. But like the Dread Pirate Roberts, Eddie's father said, "Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

A week after Big Cock strutted and bobbed his head as he kicked Eddie down the road from Jasmine and Chloe's diner to Leona's gas station and mini-market, someone else from the Menagerie arrives. Will Drahthaar prove more successful than Big Cock? Or will George win over the Menagerie tracker with Eddie's slice of Emily's pie?

Yan Vol 3 Review

  

Yan Vol 3 Review

Writer & Artist: Chang Sheng

Translator: Vanessa Liu

Letterer: Tom Williams

Editor: Louis Yamani

Designer: David Colderley

Publisher: Titan Manga

Price: $24.99

Release Date: May 13, 2026

 

When Yan Tieh Hua abducted the Councilor's son and then attacked the government official in his barricaded office, she sought justice for her family's deaths. But retired Senior Detective Lei Ming Zhi, who investigated the brutal slaying thirty years ago, wondered how Yan Tieh Hua had appeared after seeing her corpse amid the rubble of a secret military research center.

 

Now, Lei Ming Zhi is in the hospital. Yan Tieh Hua lies dead in a church, while a superhuman robot directs its robotic soldiers to wipe out Humanity. Can Yan Tieh Hua defy death a second time and destroy the seemingly indestructible robot? And why does her lifeless body look the same as it did thirty years ago, when the government arrested Yan Tieh Hua for her family's murders? Let's leap into Yan Vol 3 and see!

 

Story

When she survived the car crash that killed her parents, Flora told everyone about the girl who wandered onto the highway. No one believed her story about a girl clutching a teddy bear, shrugging off a speeding car. As the traumatized girl grew up, she dedicated her life to proving that superheroes existed. Flora used her father's technology company to fund her research, creating a computer system she dubbed Mr All-Powerful. After Yan destroyed her giant robot, Flora unlocked the safety protocols on her creation, freeing Mr All-Powerful to create an even greater weapon to destroy the young woman who bore the name Yan Tieh Hua.

 

In Yan Vol 3, time rewinds to ten years following the slaughter of Yan Tieh Hua’s family. When an explosion has damaged part of the military research facility, Yan Tieh Hua suffers a mortal blow. Yet "Yan Tieh Hua" lives on. She vows to destroy the company that conspired with the government to cover up the slaughter of her family.

 

When Yan revives in the church, she returns to Flora Technologies. There, she finds Miku Higa and Rabbit Herlock fighting Thirteen. She reveals her identity as she aids them. Thirteen, whom Mika Higu dubbed Big Glass, now controls the robot soldiers that Flora Technologies was building under a military contract.

 

Even with Yan's superhuman skills, Mika Higu and Herlock are formidable foes. Mika can see five minutes into the future. Herlock can teleport from one place or time to another. Yet, Thirteen has evaded all their attacks. So, Yan must conceive a way to destroy the robot that killed her. And this becomes even more impossible when Thirteen attains a new ability that makes Flora’s sarcastic term, “Mr All-Powerful,” a reality in Yan Vol 3.

 

Art

Images of Yan shine in the darkness. She wears her casual attire and her fighting costume. As she grows younger, she runs and crawls toward a white rectangle. Then the rectangle flares, white circles reveal a yelling face as someone straddles Yan Tieh Hua. Studio lights hang from a metal framework among elevated walkways in a warehouse. Inside the cottage in the middle of the warehouse, a horn loudspeaker chirps as Yan goes through her morning routine. Then, while Yan cooks eggs on the stove, a finger pushes a VHS tape into the player. A hero in a costume and cape appears, flying through a sky filled with stars and stripes.

 

Chang Sheng utilizes shading and meticulous penciling to conjure lifelike portrayals of people, vehicles, and places in Yan Vol 3. Herlock, with his buzz cut, walks resolutely to battle Thirteen with his circular Rabbit device on his back. Miku Higa ties a bunch of hair atop her head in a ponytail and wears a mask when entering battle. Lei Ming Zhi looks worn out as his arm rests in a sling. A small, circular bomb seems their only hope of stopping the metal skeleton with transparent skin. But Yan perches on a building ledge in her opera-style fighting costume, surveying the destruction, before leaping into the fray.

 

Physical Copy and Lettering

The glossy cover's French flap evokes a hardcover dust jacket. The 7" x 10" prestige edition enlarges the font to a generous size. Direction lines never obscure the high-speed action and fraught battles. Characters speak into balloons and boxes that grow spiky amid the intense emotions and fighting. Translated sound effects help readers hear combatants crashing through buildings, energy beams, explosions, and fighter jets flying overhead, carrying bombs that seem doomed to fail. Thanks to Titan Manga for providing a physical review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Our relationships with our parents and ancestors can restrain us from achieving our abilities. Or they can empower us to build a better future. Both Yan and Flora sought vindication for how they lost their family. But while Flora invested her life in building machines of destruction, Yan safeguarded her community while investigating who covered up the slaughter of her family.

 

Amid the action-packed finale, "Yan Tieh Hua" connects with the spirit world and emerges wiser. Freed from the anger that previously drove her, Yan welcomes her friends’ help to save her world from the artificial intelligence intent on wiping out Humanity in the action-packed Yan Vol 3.

 

Rating 10/10

When a nuclear power plant exploded, Ronald Raymond and Dr Martin Stein fused to become Firestorm. But when Firestorm reaches Bedford, Colorado, he recreates the town in six days. Then, on the seventh day, he rests. The military can't touch him. Ronald's former girlfriend no longer recognizes him. Can Lorraine Reilly find a way to reconnect with "Ronnie?" Or will Firestorm destroy the world Lorraine strives to protect? Let’s put on our flame-resistant clothes, leap into The Fury of Firestorm #2, and see!

 

Story

Ronald Raymond remembers becoming Firestorm. Yet he struggles to remember who he was. So, Ronald steps back in time from the agony and fear of joining the Firestorm Matrix. But revisiting how he got to know Dr Martin Stein doesn't help him remember who he is. So, Ronald peers further back into his childhood. He remembers his attempts to please a father who never supported him.

 

Yet, who Ronald was isn't the key to understanding what he has become. Since he fused with Dr Stein, Ronald's memories have never been truly his own. And lately, Ronald seems to be caught in a loop. He remembers battling a villain in Pittsburgh while Dr Stein advises him. Yet, in The Fury of Firestorm #2, Ronald knows he's no longer in control. And worse, he doesn't know how to retake command of his body.

 

After portraying Firestorm as others see him, Jeff Lemire’s story reveals the battle for dominance raging inside the former hero. In losing his connection to Dr Stein, Ronald loses the mentor who helped him belie

ve in himself again. And as the gestalt entity yearns to evolve, Firestorm represses the weaker aspects of its nature. No longer guided by Ronald or Dr Stein’s principles, Firestorm loses touch with its Humanity. While aspiring to grow, Firestorm threatens to become the world-ending threat its creators feared in The Fury of Firestorm #2.

 

Art

Ronald Raymond and Dr Martin Stein’s distraught features merge into the determined face of Firestorm. Yet as Firestorm flies away from the explosion, closeups reveal that the agony of their transformation remains. The images cascade down the right half of a two-page spread while the background fractures like glass. Rafael De Latorre bookends Ronald's time in the driver's seat with another two-page spread (turned sideways) that shows Firestorm fragmenting until it casts Ronald into a white void. But then, Ronald was often alone before Firestorm's birth. The other students seemed to belong together, comprehending the lessons that boggled Ronald.

 

Surrounded by green plants and trees, Ronald walks across the lawn to the professor’s office. Ronald often wears green, and Dr Stein’s office shimmers with green and blue, while Ronald writes on a green chalkboard. Yet Marcelo Maiolo casts Ronald’s earliest memories amid a haze, and colors them in yellow and red. Even one of the toys the boy plays with should be green. But instead of radiating a connection with nature, it instead looks reddish brown in The Fury of Firestorm #2.

 

Ronald shares his thoughts with yellow uppercase letters in red narrative boxes. Lucas Gattoni conveys speech with black uppercase letters in white balloons. When Dr Stein's consciousness advises Firestorm, his admonitions and encouragement appear in a cloud. The letters grow bold for intonation and enlarge when Ronald stands up for himself. But the being who transformed the citizens of Bedford, Colorado, into glass statues responds with yellow letters in red balloons. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

After an explosion fused two entities into one, Ronald Raymond and Dr Martin Stein shared one body. As they battle villains and fly from one fight to another, the two halves of Firestorm grow more integrated. Yet like the child inside all of us who dared to dream big dreams, the part of him that was Ronald Raymond bemoans the adult Firestorm has become in The Fury of Firestorm #2.
