C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #6 Review

 

Writer: Tom Taylor

Artist: Daniele Di Nicuolo

Colorist: Rain Beredo

Letterer: Wes Abbott

Cover Artists: Daniele Di Nicuolo & Rain Beredo; Tirso

Editor: Kristy Quinn

Publisher: DC Comics

Price: $3.99

Release Date: February 11, 2026

 

After Fel pulled Excalibur from the stone, and the children got their weapons, Merlin helped them escape the Agents of Mordred. But the spirit of Arthur Pendragon's son, imprisoned in Excalibur's scabbard, holds the President of the United States under his sway. And while the President holds Connor's grandmother hostage, Connor worries about her fate.

 

Thankfully, time passes more slowly in Camelot. Captain Gwen has trained the children in warfare. Merlin has taught Kevin how to wield his stick. But can Fel, Connor, and their friends rescue Marnie from one of the most secure buildings in the world? And how will Fel and the President enjoy their family reunion? Let's leap into C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #6 and see!

 

Story

After Marnie's capture, Merlin transported the families of Fel and her friends to Camelot. There, they enjoy an enchanted holiday, unaware of what their children are doing. But like Connor, one of Fel's family members is absent. So, after Fel uses King Arthur's glamour and her family ties, she confronts her father in the Oval Office. Fel is part of a two-pronged attack to rescue Marnie from a cell and her father from Mordred's corrupting influence.

 

Tom Taylor capitalizes on events in previous issues while showing how the children have grown in C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #6. Kevin struggled to trust his stick. Randall and Kelly were more adept at fantasy quests than real-world adventurers. Ash tended to hang back but didn't fear confrontation like Hanan. Of all the friends, perhaps Connor has struggled the most. After losing his parents, Connor tended to avoid closeness with others. But he has taken Lancelot's counsel, realizing that the most self-reliant knight leads a lonely life.

 

While Fel engages in a battle of wits with her father, Kevin demonstrates how he has learned to channel Pellinor’s power. Unlike the other former knights, who counsel their wielders as they train, the knight inhabiting Kevin’s wand has taken a vow of silence. While Pellinor leaves Kevin to judge how best to use him, Mordred encourages Fel's father to increase his power over others in C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #6.

 

Art

After carrying her sword into the Oval Office, Fel rests her arm on Excalibur's crossguard, addressing her father in her soccer team uniform. Mark stops pointing Mordred at his daughter but holds the scabbard like a scepter. While Mordred's serpent-like headpiece dominates a closeup of the President, Arthur doesn’t crowd Fel’s face in a corresponding closeup.

 

As he passes through Security dressed in a school uniform, Kevin's features betray his anxiety. He knows he's playing a dangerous game as he navigates the checkerboard floor of a wide hallway. Perhaps as he fills the air with green smoke, Kevin remembers the beheaded Green Knight, or the statue missing from the stone likenesses in the hedge maze.

 

As Rain Beredo lavishes bright and appealing colors on Daniele Di Nicuolo's art in C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #6, gold adorns Arthur's sword while Mordred's scabbard is bronze. Far below the royal confrontation, green-and-black-clad soldiers charge through billowing green smoke. Kevin appears as a red, white, and blue figure outlined in green amid purple surroundings. As the monocolored troops near, Kevin summons all the colors of the rainbow. 

 

Wes Abbott fills white dialogue balloons with lowercase black letters that grow bold for intonation, swell for raised voices, and shrink for lowered voices. The weapons' dialogue inhabits white shapes with colored borders. Mordred speaks into white balloons surrounded by black smoke. Beige boxes with a stylized first letter locate us in time and space, while extreme emotion makes balloons spiky. Sound effects accompany Fel outthinking her father, a parent attacking his child, and Kevin channeling his stick’s power as Hanan makes Ash proud. Thanks to DC Comics for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

As with King Arthur and his knights, a great destiny may await Fel, Connor, and their friends. But while the children draw inspiration from a prolific chronicler of epic tales, Tom Taylor reveals how a desire for power can destroy even the strongest families in C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #6.

 

Rating 9.6/10

Supergirl #10 Review

 

Writer: Sophie Campbell

Artist: Joe Quinones

Letterer: Becca Carey

Cover Artists: Sophie Campbell; Elizabeth Torque & Sabine Rich; Amy Reeder; Joe Quinones; Chrissie Zullo-Uminga

Editors: Jillian Grant & Brittany Holzherr

Publisher: DC Comics

Price: $3.99

Release Date: February 11, 2026

 

Kara Zor-El's decision to return to Midvale and resume life as Linda Danvers got off to a rocky start. Her fellow Kryptonian, Lesla-Lar, escaped from Kandor, stole her identity, and moved in with Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers. After apprehending Lesla, Kara agreed to rehabilitate her.

 

Sadly, the Kandorian science council didn't tell Kara that their time together would be short. With Lesla in danger of losing her molecular cohesion on Earth, Kara returned the incredible shrinking girl to her miniature city. Can Kara ease back into her life as Linda Danvers in Midvale? And did her fight with Lesla at Clarissa's New Year's Eve party destroy her hometown's trust in Supergirl? Let’s find a phone booth, leap into Supergirl #10, and see!

 

Story

Lena Luthor usually avoids "Normies." The young woman is used to rejection, as her father's reputation precedes her. But Kara accepted her in her circle of friends. Still, that doesn’t mean everyone welcomes Lena’s inclusion in Kara’s inner circle. Clarissa loves fashion and contemporary society. Lena is a Goth at heart and therefore feels at odds with society. When Clarissa tries to impose her values on her friends and tells Lena it's her way or the highway, Lena plots with Lesla-Lar to sabotage Clarissa’s No Beer New Year party.

 

After the hijinks got out of hand, Kara cut herself off from Lena. While Lena still feels a connection with Luna, Lex Luthor’s daughter wants to reconnect with Superman’s niece in Supergirl #10. Lena has taken steps to facilitate their reconnection. Still, she takes Luna's advice and starts small. But when Lena and Luna learn that Kara has initiated a new relationship, they fear that it will doom their closeness with Kara.

 

Sophie Campbell introduces readers to Kara’s yearning for romance through Lena and Luna’s eyes. While investigating Kara’s attraction to her date, Lena and Luna demonstrate how Kara has influenced them. And when they sense danger, they reveal their loyalty, even if Kara is cutting them out of her life. Love may be in the air as Valentine’s Day approaches. But as Supergirl #10 demonstrates, there are many forms of love, and the relationships that nurture your abilities, empower you to make your own decisions, and help you grow are always worth fighting for.

 

Art

Lena’s Goth appearance can push away others. So, she pulls her dark hair into a ponytail to showcase her short white hair and wears less noticeable earrings as she and Luna approach the Danvers residence. Despite the snow and their thick jackets and knitted hats, they remain outside Kara's home. As Lena eats the gift she bought for Kara, she wonders how to get her back in her life. Like detectives, Lena and Luna hide behind bushes, and Lena peers at Kara and her date through binoculars. But Kara's radiant smile and her closeness with the hot, tattooed guy seem to justify Luna's fears.

 

While Joe Quinones adorns Supergirl #10 with a palette of bright, attractive colors, the yards and bushes link with Lena’s eyes, hair streak, and the circles on her forehead. Even the air turns green as she watches Kara, suggesting that Lena and her world are Kryptonite to Kara's future. Yet Luna's pink-red hair links with the young man’s earring. As Kara and her date grow closer, the air turns pink, reminding Luna of how romance can destroy friendships. And the couple certainly look made for each other, as Kara's gray dress goes with his coat, while her jacket looks good next to the illustrated man’s pants.

 

Becca Carey portrays the girls' dialogue as uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons and Kara's thoughts in clouds. The black and pink letters grow bold for intonation, swell for raised voices, and shrink when Luna digs deep within herself. Electronic devices signal danger as Lena intervenes to protect her friend. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Lena Luthor violated Kara’s trust when she helped Lesla-Lar defy Kara’s authority. She unintentionally robbed Kara of her autonomy and damaged her credibility. While Kara wants to forgive Lena, memories of the friends and loved ones she has lost weigh on her. Even the leaders of the miniature Kryptonian city that Kara safeguards keep secrets from her. Not knowing whom she can trust, Kara finds herself in a holding pattern, struggling to put the past behind her in Supergirl #10. 

 

Rating 9.6/10

LOVE HURTS! Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award–winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, and William M. Gaines Agent, Inc., are wrenching romance comics out of the grave in TORTURED HEARTS #1 – a 56-page tome of terror forged in the unrelenting tradition of EC Comics! In advance of the giant-sized special’s February 11th release date, take a lovelorn first look at "A Pocket Full of Nails" by legendary comic writer and editor Ann Nocenti (Daredevil, The Seeds) and ardent artist Dan McDaid (Dega) with colors from the mighty Michelle Madsen (Buffy The Vampire Slayer).

“Deep down in the EC catacomb, we've been toiling away to bring forth compelling tales of torment and technological terror,” says editor Allyson Gronowitz. "Now, we're excited to present our latest concoction of misery... a one-shot anthology dedicated solely to the particular pains and perils of romance! In this terrifying tale, esteemed writer Ann Nocenti explores the dangers of obsession, and the skin-crawling horror of the dark side of devotion... stunningly brought to life on the page by Dan McDaid and Michelle Madsen!”

“This tale is inspired by a true story about a guy who stalked female comic creators back in the days before stalker laws,” explains Ann Nocenti. “it was up to us to defend ourselves! One visual riff in the story was a scattering of loose nails, and Dan masterfully wove the spiky motif throughout the story to terrifying effect... dare I say he nailed it? Telling EC tales for Oni Press is a blast. My modus operandi is to think about what I'm afraid of, and with so much to fear in the world, the possibilities are endless. It's a pleasure to work with editors Allyson Gronowitz and Jung Hu Lee, who always offer tweaks to make the stories just a bit bloody better.”

The red-hot writer of Absolute Martian Manhunter, Deniz Camp, re-teams with breakout artist Stipan Morian to unleash Vertigo’s first new #1!

 

The zombies won—and ten years after the fall of humanity, they’re the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They’ve developed their own cultural practices, their own language, their own society.

 

Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-In-Head (“Poke” for short) is a beloved member of his community, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he’s happy to shamble along through the only world he can remember…until the day his heart mysteriously starts beating again. And in a blink, the first humans he sees have stopped looking like food and started looking like…friends…?

 

The team behind 20^th Century Men, the bold mission statement that launched writer Deniz Camp and artist Stipan Morian to the next level of the comics industry, has reunited to bring you a world ruled by ruthless kill-or-be-killed logic, pitted against the demands of a single beating, bleeding, emotional heart!
