Call them idealists. Write them off as misfits. But in the Summer of 1940, these disparate warriors united to protect Gotham and prevent the spread of fascism. Still, that was another era. While the Justice League has grown in strength and prominence, the Injustice Society recently brought the JSA to its knees. 

Alan Scott, who gave the group their name, wondered if the Justice Society of America could continue. His son and daughter argued that it should. With Alan Scott and Jay Garrick to advise them, can Jade and Obsidian lead the Justice Society of America toward a bold new future?

Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4 Review

 

Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4 Review

Writer & Artist: Yako Gureishi

Translator: Motoko Tamamuro & Jonathan Clements

Letterer: Skylar Rutan

Cover Artist: Yako Gureishi

Publisher: Titan Manga

Price: $12.99

Release Date: December 23, 2025

 

Crossing the Kosuna Desert could have been easy. Instead, Somali begged her father for an adventure. The tour guide agreed that an overland journey was preferable to an underground trolley ride. Responsible parenting involves more than keeping your children safe, he counseled. If parents don't provide their children with good memories, they will grow up to be good for nothing.

 

After the wonders of the Kosuna Desert, the Golem and Somali arrive in Winecup Village, the resting point for travelers braving the deserts. No underground trolleys or overland caravans are available for the next portion of their journey. But after Somali fights with a young Noble Harpy over the last bowl of sugarcane ice cream in a restaurant, the Golem and the Human girl befriend Haitora and his ward Uzoi. What dangers will they face while crossing the Osuna Desert together? And what discoveries will they make about each other? Let’s grab our walking sticks, leap into Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4, and see!

 

Story

Uzoi introduced Haitora as a Falcohol, a race with a bird head. But like Somali, Haitora wears a disguise. He is also Human. Unlike Somali, Haitora suffers from a fatal disease. Yet like Somali, Uzoi has also lost her parents. So as the two travel together, they seek a remedy for Haitora’s affliction. Yet, after a trying crisis in a cave, Haitora bears his soul to the Golem, not realizing that Uzoi is eavesdropping.

 

In Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4, Haitora tells the Golem about his life before he met Uzoi. He lived with other Humans in a farming community. Then the enchanted animal races found them. They burned their village and captured or killed the inhabitants. Seeking revenge and sustenance after the enchanted animals’ devastating attack, Haitora caught and killed a Noble Harpy. But while the enchanted animals can eat Humans, their enchantment brings sickness and death to any Humans who eat them.

 

While Yako Gureishi’s story addresses how prejudice weakens us, it also reminds us that forgiveness is essential to building strong relationships. As they explore their world and search for Somali’s people, the Golem and the Human girl reconnect with friends they've met along the way. They may live in a world of dangers, where Humans are a threatened species. Despite the Golem's desire to care for Somali, his one-thousand-year-old body nears its expiration date. Still, the Golem cares for her as best he can, and both find the kindnesses to others and the friendships they’ve made repaid in Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4.

 

Art

Short hair on Haitora’s brow functions as a part. Long, straight hair frames his wife and daughter’s faces. Yet after he eats a Noble Harpy, feathers sprout from his right eye and cover his cheek. Haitora hides his affliction behind a bird mask with a long, downcurved beak. His ward, Uzoi, has long, blond hair like his late wife and daughter. But wings sprout from her head and back, and feathers surround her eyes and line her arms. She has talons instead of feet with toes. As Uzoi sits with Somali in the covered wagon, Haitora and the Golem direct their horse toward a whirlwind. Yet that is not the only danger they will face in Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4.

 

As Yako Gureishi conjures worlds with his detailed art, cottages lining flagstone streets give way to multilevel buildings with arched, flower-bedecked windows. The multiple eyes on a tiny, refined character evoke false cat, one of the dangers Somali encountered in the first city she visited. And as pennants hang before intricate screens, the Golem and Somali encounter friends they met while following their outdated map through the forest. Forests lacking foliage recall the cost of the Golem abandoning his grove to return Somali to her people. Yet when multilevel flat-roofed homes crowd the pathways of another village, another opportunity for Somali to make more good memories awaits.

 

Motoko Tamamuro and Jonathan Clements translate the uppercase letters that appear in balloons, boxes, and panel backgrounds. Intense emotions turn the balloons spiky when Haitora recalls his traumatic past. Skylar Rutan’s sound effects enhance the dangers of the Osuna Desert, a skilled practitioner attending to Somali's needs, and the Golem learning new skills. Thanks to Titan Manga for providing a physical review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

After the Golem and the Human girl search for the missing Humans they learned about in the Witch Village, the Golem and Somali experience many of the wonders of their world. Yet the greatest wonders are how they have grown, and how their relationship has enriched their lives in Somali and the Forest Spirit Vol 4.

Zatanna #1 Review

 

Zatanna #1 Review

Writer, Artist, Colorist & Cover Artist: Jamal Campbell

Letterer: Ariana Maher

Variant Cover Artists: Kyuyong Eom; Adam Hughes; Jorge Corona & Sarah Stern; Julian Totino Tedesco

Editors: Marquis Draper & Brittany Holzherr

Publisher: DC Comics

She fought alongside heroes and villains to preserve reality from Darkseid's dominance. Now, as she returns to this reborn world, Zatanna receives a vision. The Omega Tournament was just the opening battle in Darkseid's war. She must prepare for Darkseid's next attempt to dominate reality.

 

Zatanna's combatant in the Omega Tournament, Harley Quinn, has undergone a radical change of identity. What threats will Zatanna face in her quest to become a greater hero? And how will her new mission transform Zatanna as she strives to safeguard all she holds dear? Let’s grab our magic kits, leap into Zatanna #1, and see!

 

Story

You don't know what you've got until you almost lose it. So, as Zatanna returns to life after the Omega Tournament, she asks, “Who am I? And what do I most care about?” While many heroes protect cities, countries, or planets, Zatanna inhabits the magic realm. Some people worship magic. Others exploit it. Zatanna concludes that the order protecting and preserving the magic realm has passed away. So, lacking anyone else to step up, Zatanna crowns herself the realm's protector. From her traveling Shadowcrest Theater, Zatanna can visit any place the magical realm intersects, and safeguard anyone who uses or is affected by magic.

 

After her theatrical declaration, Zatanna #1 leaps forward in time. The newly dubbed Prime Magus has been following a trail of destruction. A plague spirit controls its latest victim. Amid the blood and bodies, she tries to pacify the victim, a young elf possessed by the malevolent entity. Yet the plague spirit feeds on fear. And the girl, already frightened by being taken over, lashes out.

 

In Jamal Campbell’s action-packed story, Zatanna has help. A familiar named Allura leaps to Zatanna’s assistance to separate the girl from the plague spirit. Yet as Zatanna risks her life on behalf of the elf, others watch. They've already lost one assault team, perhaps more. They realize they're out of their depth. But if Zatanna fails, they hope they can overcome the incomprehensible entity that has taken so many lives.

 

This group may play by different rules. And like some of the new members of the Justice League, they may have checkered pasts. But like the Prime Magus, they've gotten their world back. And in Zatanna #1, they don't want to lose it again.

 

Art

Jamal Campbell surrounds the opening pages in gold fretwork and captures scenes inside ornate gold frames. Action spills across two pages when Zatanna pursues the plague spirit, and later when she commands its attention. Varying panel shapes enhance Zatanna's rescue effort, while inset panels occasionally tile atop one another for closeups and a 3D effect. Direction lines tear a pathway through places, as Zatanna pursues and fights the plague spirit.

 

As Jamal Campbell paints Zatanna #1 in black, white, and red, purple fills the air of the magical realm. The red plague spirit resembles a growth. Yet it can also form strands that entangle its victims and opponents. Pink accents this purple realm, touching even the soldiers waiting in readiness. Yet red links the Prime Magus with the plague spirit, suggesting that just as she wishes to command this realm, Zatanna must take some responsibility for its creation.

 

Like the images that introduce this malignant entity, black uppercase dialogue inhabits white balloons. The announcer introduces the star of the show with stylized white font in black balloons with a rainbow border. Zatanna's thoughts fill pink boxes, while her spells appear as backward dark-pink letters in light-pink balloons. Blue static obscures weak radio transmission, while Allura speaks white letters into purple balloons. Ariana Maher’s sound effects enhance Zatanna's first trial, while enlarged letters fill panels with the screams of a soul in torment. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

We’re all drawn to the things we love. And sometimes, it seems sufficient to live vicariously through the people we admire. As Zatanna follows a trail of destruction, dead bodies, and broken families, the Prime Magus sees what happens when love transforms into obsession in Zatanna #1.

Exorcism Island Vol 1 Review

 

Exorcism Island Vol 1 Review

Writer: Jordan Thomas

Artist: Chris Matthews

Publisher: Comixology

Kindle Price: $6.99

Release Date: April 28, 2026

 

After surviving a supernatural battle, Father Gianluca Amato undertakes a journey. Father Caso accompanies the young priest on the plane. When they land, Gianluca, or Gigi for short, walks inland with his superior. The two priests follow Talin, who grew up on a neighboring island. But the local man only dares venture a short way into this island's interior.

 

As the priests approach a pit, crucifixes hang from nearby trees. Voices welcome the priests. Then, the ground slopes down. Through the plants, bushes, and trees, Gigi spots buildings in the valley below. Just like the young priest's recent trial overturned his life, the buildings form an upside-down cross. What happens on this tropical island where frost clings to palm fronds, and priests bundle up in winter clothes? And how will Gigi's new assignment shake his fragile faith? Let’s leap into Exorcism Island Vol 1 and see!

 

Story

Gigi and Caso arrive amid a tragedy. The demon inside one of the patients has just killed Father Borra. Father Jacob Miller advises them not to get too excited. If they miss this crisis, another will strike the team soon. Then, as Gigi and Father Caso run off to help, Father Miller ventures back inside a cabin no one else is allowed to enter.

 

In Exorcism Island Vol 1, Gigi discovers that while his fellow priests hail from all over the world, they have one thing in common. They all tried to use spiritual means to heal someone of afflictions that modern psychiatry couldn't treat. While Gigi explains what brought him there, the others prove more reticent to share their failures. They wonder why Cardinal Litarri sent them all to this cursed island. The priests also question the wisdom of bringing so many demon-possessed souls together in one place.

 

As life falls into a daily routine of prayers, blessings, and rituals, Father Julius Howt cares for the priests’ souls. Gigi and the other priests make regular confessions to him. But despite the priests' devotion, they begin to lose hope that they will ever cure one of their patients. The demons keep finding ways to break free of the chains and create chaos on the island. Yet back in Vatican City, Cardinal Litarri directs affairs seemingly intended to nurture the evil spirits in Exorcism Island Vol 1.

 

Art

While Father Gert Juncter from Austria wears a knitted hat and thick coat, the shorter Fr Julius Howt leaves his head bare and walks around in a long, thin coat. Tall and imposing, Father Jacob Miller from Chicago upbraids Fr William Pell for being too soft. When they sit at a dining table near the flames rising from a metal drum, Father Pascal Garrow from Kenya bemoans that they rarely enjoy meals together. But while Gigi chases naked escaped inmates across the island or watches a chained patient swallow a crucifix and spit out a rat, Cardinal Litarri twists and turns in his sleep in Vatican City.

 

Chris Matthews draws characters and backgrounds into beige panels. Colors differentiate memories, places, and time periods in Jordan Thomas’ story. Orange dominates the upheaval on the island, while purple attends unsettling events at the Vatican. Red welcomes the rise of a great evil. Instead of crosshatching or dots, Matthews uses color for shading and highlights to enhance the action and drama in Exorcism Island Vol 1.

 

Black uppercase letters inhabit white dialogue balloons and narrative, while a demonic dandy speaks white letters into their black brethren. Words occasionally grow bold for intonation, and balloons change shape when demons interact with the priests. Sound effects rock panels as trouble brews inside the Vatican, erupts at an archeological dig in the Carpathian Mountains, and threatens to destroy Gigi's future. Thanks to Comixology and Superfan Promotions for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Thirteen doomed souls make life miserable for the priests assigned to care for them. As they strive to minister to them as best they can, Father Pyre wonders why they bother. He regards them as God’s janitors and believes they should put the patients out of their misery. But as the cynical priest carries out Cardinal Litarri’s orders, he discovers irregularities and infractions that he cannot sweep under the rug in Exorcism Island Vol 1.

Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1 Review

 

Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1 Review

Writer: Julien Blondel

Artist & Colorist: Valentin Sécher

Translator: Marc Bourbon-Crook

Letterer: Jessica Burton

Cover Artists: Valentin Sécher, Norm Konyu & Florent Maudoux

Editor: Ibraheem Kazi

Designer: Matt Bookman

Elric feels an absence where his heart should be. As the emperor of a fallen empire travels through the Young Kingdoms, he mourns his beloved Cymoril. Nor can he forget that Stormbringer, the sword that sustains his life, killed her. Queen Yishana might have loved him. But like Shaarilla of Myyrrhn, Elric will not give Stormbringer the chance to drink the soul of another woman he cares about.

 

When most people see Elric, they regard him as an oddity. They associate his white skin with sickness and weakness. But some crave his power. Theleb K’aarna, who summoned the Singing Citadel to Queen Yishana’s kingdom, burns with ambition. Will the Pan Tangian find a way to harness Elric's link with Chaos? And can Elric protect the Young Kingdoms from the ambitious sorcerer? Let's leap into Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1 and see!

 

Story

Queen Yishana banished Theleb K’aarna from Jharkor for his treachery. But the sorcerer doesn't care about being the chief sorcerer to any ruler. He believes he's entitled to command the forces of Chaos. Despite how Arioch disregarded him, Theleb wants to be the champion of Chaos in the Young Kingdoms. And he doesn't care how many people die as he strives to achieve his goal.

 

Chaos and his black sword destroyed Elric’s world. Now, Elric yearns for peace. Perhaps one day, he can find Tanelorn, where he can enjoy a reprieve from the lords of Law and Chaos. Yet in Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1, a messenger finds him. If he wishes for the Young Kingdoms to survive, Elric must aid the Empress of the Dawn.

 

Julien Blondel's story forces Elric to contemplate his relationship with lord Arioch. The former Emperor of Melniboné must choose between his past and his future. Like Arioch, Elric regards the Young Kingdoms as children. With the fall of Melniboné, all the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of his former kingdom is gone. He cannot share it with the younger cultures. By serving Law, perhaps Elric can balance the Chaos Theleb K’aarna is unleashing. But as the messenger warns, the gods never tell you what they really want.

 

Art

As the robed figure walks down a cobblestone street, tall, decaying wooden buildings rise on either side. Rats perch on wooden posts as the figure approaches the city gates. Despite the rain, yellow and green light fills the air and tinges the tenements. Then more figures appear, brandishing weapons in Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1.

 

When Valentin Sécher introduces Elric and Moonglum, orange fills the night sky. Yellow mixes with brown as the two face warriors in the forest. Later, after finding refreshment in a tavern, warriors find them again. The yellow from the city that Theleb K’aarna entered links with the gold spilling from coffers and heaped around the man he visits. The Pan Tangian’s red face paint finds echoes in a tavern sign, the ring Elric wears, the messenger who meets him, and the fire that burns from the words inscribed on Stormbringer. Yet just as orange begins Moonglum's story, it also illuminates his climactic actions in Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1.

 

Amid the detailed art and luminous colors, Jessica Burton fills rectangular balloons and narrative boxes with small uppercase black letters. Stormbringer fills black boxes with larger, white letters as Elric contemplates the messenger’s words, and unwittingly follows the man’s advice to Moonglum. Thanks to Titan Comics for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Moonglum of Elwher is the opposite of Elric. Like Stormbringer, Moonglum sustains Elric. His buoyant spirit helps Elric carry on after losing his world. Arioch may have claimed that the Lords of Law were easier for mortals to understand. But as Moonglum remains by Elric's side, the bouncy, ever-cheerful man must tame his thoughts, lest he end up forever lost and unable to help his friend or his world, in Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress #1.

Like Earnest Pye, Amanda Waller believed that Humans should run her planet. Just because someone had superpowers didn't give them the authority to make decisions for her. But in her quest for Absolute Power, Waller drew many metahumans into her dream of an Earth without superheroes.

 

Now, the Justice League is embracing another kind of dream. They're opening their doors to antiheroes and villains who haven't always made the right choices. But will metahumans with checkered pasts stand by the heroes in the heat of battle? And can Galaxy convince her friend to pursue her childhood goals? Let's leap into Justice League Intergalactic Special #1 and see!

 

Story

Taylor Barzelay, aka Galaxy, hails from Cyandii. Her friend, Nia Nal, aka Dreamer, has Naltorian heritage. But Nia’s choices have taken her away from Taylor. So, when Star Sapphire selects Taylor for a mission to Naltor, Taylor uses the opportunity to renew her relationship with Nia. Even if her friend won’t return her phone calls, Taylor hopes Nia will accompany her on Star Sapphire's rescue mission.

 

Galaxy is an up-and-coming member of the Justice League. And as the membership requirements change, Galaxy hopes her friend will put her past behind her and apply. But Nia has seen powerful people value her more for her abilities than for who she is. And after risking her life to protect others, the Justice League branded her a war criminal. So, in Justice League Intergalactic Special #1, the last thing Nia wants to do is help the Justice League, or another planet she has a tenuous connection with.

 

While Taylor insists on looking forward, Nia clings to the lessons of the past. But when Taylor places herself in danger, Nia rushes to her aid. She tells herself it's just about protecting Taylor. But in Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines' story, once Nia arrives on her mother's homeworld, she sees the problems afflicting Naltor and the dangers Taylor's team faces.

 

Nia and Taylor may approach the future differently. Yet both suffer from painful pasts. On Naltor, Dreamer and Galaxy find the inhabitants mourning the loss of their planet's former importance. In their yearning to regain their pride and their standing among the intergalactic community, they have embraced a powerful leader. But instead of empowering them, the Witch Queen has turned the Naltorians into her mindless slaves in Justice League Intergalactic Special #1.

 

Art

Celestial bodies glow in the night sky as the Green Lanterns hover above the inhabitants of Naltor. Yet Dreamer glimpses a woman with a spiked crown, and electricity crackling from her eyes, standing atop a pile of fallen heroes amid ruins. When Dreamer awakens, her door lies in pieces on the floor. Her broken bedroom mirror hangs askew. She watches as Galaxy and Argus attack her friends and hurl them out the window.

 

After Travis Moore portrays events in Dreamer's ruined bedroom in the House of Secrets, Star Sapphire and Galaxy fly through the sky above Naltor, defending their spaceship from its attackers. While Galaxy's pink skin links her with Star Sapphire's costume, Adam Strange's red uniform links him with Argus' reddish-brown coat. As Green Arrow watches the two bicker, his costume brands him a fish out of water. Yet his green clothing links him with the heroes he’s come to save. As Tamra Bonvillain wields a lavish palette on Justice League Intergalactic Special #1, Star Sapphire grows angry when she finds Dreamer on Naltor. But as Dreamer pets Argus, her brown jacket links her with Galaxy's companion, hinting that both are more than they appear.

 

As Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou places uppercase black letters in white dialogue balloons, lowercase letters represent lowered voices. Dialogue balloons deform with intense emotion and raised voices. But as the Witch Queen's subjects chant large white letters into black shapes, crystals crackle with energy, explosions rock the air, and Green Arrow performs trick shots that would make Black Canary smile. Thanks to DC Comics for sharing this story with us.

 

Final Thoughts

Star Sapphire’s heart may be elsewhere. But she’s still got a job to do. So, when two Green Lantern teams disappear on Naltor, Star Sapphire recruits a team to investigate. Not everyone gets along. And Galaxy doesn't always follow protocol. Still, being a good team leader means learning to distinguish between heroes who occasionally make poor judgments and bad actors in Justice League Intergalactic Special #1.
