Daysha lies injured. Floating orbs order Travon to return. The boy—an alien born to fit in on Earth—defies his people. Will the alien invaders kill the boy destined to be their ruler? Let’s tune into Monarch #5 and find out!

 

Story

The floating orbs injured Daysha. Travon remembers growing up on Earth. He fell in love with Humans, even if they're more interested in their pursuits than safeguarding their future. The orbs order Travon—their Monarch—to return. Instead, he protects Daysha and Kurtis by hurling lightning at them.

 

Thanks to Travon’s protection, Daysha recovers. Travon may love her, but she's uncertain of her feelings about him. He explains his origins and mission, but she has trouble believing his loyalties have changed. Can she forgive his deception and return his affection? Is friendship with Travon even possible anymore?

 

Once again, Travon's mind drifts to his past with his adoptive sister Marli. We see little more of Travon’s past with Daysha in Monarch #5 than events we witnessed in the first issue. We also know little about big-haired Kurtis, who has stood by Daysha’s side throughout the invasion. We don't even see Angie, who I presume is still in the school somewhere. And don't forget about gun-toting Todd, who I erroneously called Kurt in the last issue. He's still around, burning with anger and intent on murder.

 

 

Art

Travon’s scenes with Marli communicate how relaxed they feel together. She sits on the windowsill while he leans out next to her. They gaze at the sky. Yet his mind flits to Earth's pastoral grandeur. These contrast with urban scenes of his home world and the destruction that prompted their search for another home. Are Earthlings marching down the same path toward destruction?

 

Silvery amoeba swims across Travon's skin. While perfectly formed, the young boy wears round glasses. When he hurls lightning at the orbs, my thoughts turn to Harry Potter and the similarities between the orphans.

 

Events in Monarch #5 take place within Travon's school. Each panel shows stressed walls and deterioration since the aliens arrived. In one, Kurtis and Daysha stand as silhouettes while the orbs hover over Travon. Smoke rises from his fallen body. A welcome banner hangs from the wall, torn down the center, which feels symbolic. But then, the block-like ship hovering over Compton speaks evocatively too.

 

Black uppercase letters inhabit white dialogue balloons. Colored narrative boxes relate to memories and offscreen dialogue. The font is as easy to read as it is to love Monarch #5.

 

 

Final Thoughts

We all have an origin story. Yet life changes us. What happens when we no longer want the life we envisioned? Can we belong somewhere else? Or does switching sides mean we'll never belong anywhere?

 

Set against a backdrop of alien invasion, Monarch #5 wrestles with profound questions that--sooner or later--each of us must ask ourselves.

Gunslinger Spawn #21 Review

 

Writer: Todd McFarlane

Artist: Brett Booth

Inker: Adelso Corona

Colorist: Ivan Nunes

Letterer: Tom Orzechowski

Cover Artists: Chris Stevens & Brett Booth

Publisher: Image

Price: 2.99

Release Date: June 14, 2023

 

Taylor and Gunslinger--aided by Dakota and her dinosaurs--battle Clown, his minions, and the Violator. How did we get to this epic battle? Let’s charge into Gunslinger Spawn #21 and find out!

 

Story

After four pages filled with Spawns, dinosaurs, and Taylor wielding a sword, we travel back in time. Like us, Taylor wants answers, but Gunslinger wants a snooze. For the best of reasons, Gunslinger blew up his life. Now they're living on the run and teaming up with a woman he doesn't trust.

 

Dakota tries to find common ground with Taylor by explaining they’ve both had terrible fathers. She hopes to capture Clown and bring him to Spawn. Taking him and Violator out of action will benefit the good guys in this war Gaia has unleashed. But Taylor keeps confusing Gunslinger, so the 19th Century hellspawn finally asks, "Dinosaurs? What are dinosaurs?

 

Art

Predatory dinosaurs charge across Omega Island. Taylor rides one wielding a sword. Gunslinger leaps through the air, firing the modern weapons Spawn gave him. Can Violator's tusks, multiple rows of teeth, and fierce claws take on Dakota's dinosaurs? The monster's red-hot eyes suggest he's burning to try. Aside from his minions, which look like miniature versions of himself, Big And Tall Clown stands indomitable. He lifts his sombrero-wearing daughter by the neck like Darth Vader questions rebel leaders and punches away with his other fist. Gunslinger hits a robot or an armored soldier. The broken bodies of similar soldiers litter the ground, along with fallen dinosaurs. Whether their armored humans, spawns, or robots, green liquid bursts forth when Gunslinger shoots them.

 

Vibrant and electrifying colors heighten the action in Gunslinger Spawn #21. Gunslinger's red cap (with an Image logo) and trench coat stand out against his black shirt, boots, and gray pants. The tiny purple dinosaur sprawled on his chest looks like it belongs there. Taylor's orange-red hair reminds me of the color Gunslinger's coat often turns in battle. Sunlight bleaches black-masked Dakota when she grabs Taylor from behind, pushing the freaked-out young man to the forefront. Yet she shines with color when the purple dinosaur leaps onto her shoulders. Do its claws dig into her maroon jacket? While weapons hang from holsters, her black top, exposed midriff, and blue pants suggest she's as vulnerable as Taylor.

 

Brown narrative boxes feature yellow upper-case letters. Black uppercase letters ride through Gunslinger Spawn #21 in white dialogue balloons. Blocky yellow sound effects help us hear Dakota try to knock some sense into Taylor, the click of Gunslinger pulling the trigger when Taylor calls him dumb, and the reports when the hellspawn cowboy shoots robots, minions, and monsters. White lowercase letters in black narrative boxes provide helpful links to related events in previous issues.

 

 

Final Thoughts

Gunslinger Spawn #21 is a fast and furious team-up with links to recent events in The Scorched. It features dinosaurs, the Clown and his minions, and Violator. It's frustrating that it starts with such an epic battle, goes back in time to show the planning stages, and ends before events in the opening pages. Still, all the Spawn books are frustrating, as they always leave you wanting to know more.

Shazam! #2 Review

 

Writer: Mark Waid 

Artist: Dan Mora

Colorist: Alejandro Sánchez

Letterer: Troy Peteri

Cover Artists: Dan Mora; John Timms; Chris Samnee & Matheus Lopes; Steve Lieber & Nathan Fairbairn; Megan Huang

Publisher: DC Comics

Price: $3.99/$4.99

Release Date: June 7, 2023

 

Shazam recently shocked the world by going all Sean Penn on the paparazzi. Can Billy Batson ever trust his older, stronger alter ego ever again? Let's fly into Shazam! #2 and find out!

 

 

 

Story

Billy's friends can't understand his public outburst. They bust in on his confusion and plague him with questions he can't answer. On the plus side, his social media profile has risen. But when a dinosaur from space arrives to complete some business related to the assistance he rendered his kin in the previous issue, Billy decides he needs some time alone.

 

Sadly, quiet time will have to wait. A man called the Psycho-Pirate is holding up the local museum. Helping people in danger trumps concerns over another public media meltdown. So it's time to let the Captain take control.

 

 

 

Mark Waid gives us plenty to read in this story. He also delivers a lot of action. He communicates why people regard Shazam as a hero. It's an involving self-contained story that welcomes first-time readers while leaving them wanting to know more.

 

Art

Dan Mora populates Shazam! #2 with dynamic characters that communicate their feelings and look good from every angle. Aside from a few closeups, nearly every panel crackles with power and convincing backgrounds. He loads pages with panels and works page by page rather than across pages. A few scenes failed to communicate the author's intent and forced me to flip back to explain later dialogue. Still, any artist who draws Tyrannosaurus Rex in a top hat gets high marks in my book!

 

 

 

Alejandro Sánchez brings rich, vibrant colors to Shazam! #2. Views of the city, inside Billy's house, the museum, and the subway are full-spectrum colors. Billy's transformation into the Captain crackles with energy. He helps convey why a world-famous painting is so beloved. Psycho-Pirate stands out in the subway scenes: he makes me love him, even without being ordered.

 

 

 

Troy Peteri populates white dialogue balloons with large uppercase letters that go bold to emphasize raised voices and shrink for murmurs. Dialogue switches to red when the Psycho-Pirate turns on his hypnotic voice. I also like the Captain's rectangular yellow narrative boxes and Billy's spherical ones and how both have a lightning bolt. His sound effects help me hear Billy’s energizing transformation, bullets tearing through the museum, and Shazam’s big hero moment.

 

 

 

Final Thoughts

Dynamic art, vibrant coloring, and an involving story convey Billy Batson’s trial of identity in Shazam! #2.

X-23 Deadly Regenesis #3 Review

 

Writer: Erica Schultz

Artist: Edgar Salazar

Colorist: Carlos Lopez

Letterer: Cory Petit

Cover Artists: Kalman Andrasofszky; Gerald Parel

Publisher: Marvel

Price: $3.99

Release Date: May 31, 2023

 

Created to be a living weapon, Laura Kinney wanted more. She tried to make a new life in Minneapolis, but her old handler Kimura had other plans. Now she's back under Kimura's control, her healing factor neutralized, while Haymaker--the agent who brought her in--wants to kill her. How could things possibly get any worse for Laura? Let’s tear into X-23 Deadly Regenesis #3 and find out!

 

Story

Laura awakens in an animal carrier. Kimura sprays her with the neutralizing agent. Gauntlets prevent Laura from extending her claws. Guards grasp her neck with catcher poles. Her former handler gives her a tour of her facility. Laura sees Haymaker in a room with other agents. She learns how Kimura controls her employees. Kimura leads her to a room filled with captives. Either X-23 works for her, or she kills them.

 

After two action-packed issues, X-23 Deadly Regenesis #3 slows the pace to reveal Kimura’s world. We learn what drives her. Surprisingly, she views her protégé more altruistically than Laura sees herself. Erica Schultz portrays situations that speak clearly to Laura but less to the first-time reader. Still, her story helps you admire Laura more.

 

 

 

Art

Characters are highly detailed and portrayed consistently throughout. Settings have a lived-in reality. Sultry Kimura looks as good as Wilma Deering in her combat outfit. While Laura's expression shows anger and determination, Kimura's eyes sparkle as she smiles, reveling in the power she wields. Edgar Salazar uses a minimum of panels—often just one—to reveal powerful memories and experiences that define the woman Kimura only sees as X-23.

 

Lush, bold colors invite you into X-23 Deadly Regenesis #3. Cold blue-white lights illuminate Kimura's dark features as she sprays the orange neutralizer into Laura's green eyes. Guards clad in blue uniforms with gray helmets and armor walk inhabit blue and green rooms with gray floors. Laura peers through glass walls to watch ochre-clad workers in a clean room environment. Carlos Lopez dips into the orange and purple spectrums to color the memories that haunt and comfort Laura.

 

Cory Petit relays speech as black uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons. Kimura's off-panel words inhabit white narrative boxes with a purple outline. Laura shares her thoughts via white letters in rounded maroon narrative boxes. Font size is small but not tiny, while sound effects are large, colorful, and expressive.

 

Final Thoughts

X-23 Deadly Regenesis #3 delves into Laura’s history, exploring previously unrevealed events from writer Marjorie Liu’s series a dozen years ago. It reveals the perils of substance abuse and questions definitions of heroism. While Laura doesn't carry out any missions, or go a second round with Haymaker, richly detailed scenes and dramatic situations suggest that Kimura will deploy her living weapon soon.

W0rldtr33 #2 Review

 

Writer: James Tynion IV

Artist: Fernando Blanco

Colorist: Jordie Bellaire

Letterer: Aditya Bidikar

Cover Artists: Fernando Blanco; Dani; David Romero; Justine Frany; Werther Dell'Edera

Publisher: Image Comics

Price: $3.99

Release Date: May 31, 2023

 

After the naked, tattooed blonde shot the Sheriff (and yes, she also shot some Deputies), she killed Gibson Lane, who knifed sixty people to death. The surviving police hold Ellison--who witnessed the woman’s assault—in custody. Fausta—his podcast producer, and perhaps more--investigates his late brother Gibson’s home. As she explores each dark room, talking via cell phone to their boss, the nude blonde follows Fausta, knife in hand. Why is the woman there? What fate awaits Fausta? Let's climb onto W0rldtr33 #2 and learn more!

 

 

Story

Silk and Nicky arrive at the police station. The FBI agents question Ellison, but he's struggling to keep his head above water. Overwhelmed by the tsunami his brother's killings unleashed, he can barely comprehend what's happening, let alone help Silk capture the naked woman she pursued for months. Back at her brother's house, the woman in question—seemingly called PH34R—observes Fausta. The podcast producer braves blood splatter on doors and a disturbing odor. Her search leads her to Gibson’s bedroom.

 

Gabriel, the technology wizard who created the Dark Web program that prompted Gibson’s murder spree, orchestrates the defense against this potentially world-ending threat. He reunites the members of the original development team in W0rldtr33 #2. Although twenty years have passed, most seem scarred by the experience. His plan to protect our world also includes Ellison, but to what extent remains unclear.

 

 

Art

Outside the police station, Silk and Nicky wait among the news crews and vehicles. They question Ellison in an interrogation room enlivened only by reflections in the two-way mirror. At Gibson’s home, Fausta gazes at family portraits in the living room. A copy of Robert Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers—set near the computer from which he accessed the Undernet or W0rldtr33—makes us ponder the new world he and the nude woman are building. The symbol of the world tree at the end of the issue suggests Yggdrasil, the tree upon which Odin died. Yet the icon for the Undernet on Gibson's computer brings to mind a prickly cactus: a reference closer to the Christian crown of thorns. And what of the naked woman who smiles while killing? Could the tattoo rising from her chest and covering her shoulders suggest a Caduceus? Show me more, Fernando Blanco!

 

From the greens and blues of Liam's reunion with Yoshi at the Holiday Inn that Gabriel rented to the beiges and tans in Gibson's unlit home, and to the dark blue that envelops Darren and Amanda as they follow Gabriel's instructions, limited color schemes dominate W0rldtr33 #2. Jordie Bellaire’s yellows, oranges, and grays liken the area outside the police station to the otherworld Dom and Birdie explore in Phantom Road. (Say, who colored that series?) But to paraphrase Prince and Sinéad O’Connor, nothing compares to the wild, intense coloring of the Undernet. Can anyone withstand its Medusa-like glare?

 

Aside from Fausta, Ellison, and Amanda’s microscopic murmurs (not whispers), W0rldtr33 #2's uppercase letters in white dialogue balloons are easy to read and follow. Large white letters announce scene changes. Aditya Bidikar’s sound effects help us hear Fausta sniff the fetid air in Gibson's living room and snap photos of his bedroom with her cell phone. Block letters accompany a computer accessing the Undernet, and cursive letters suggest the screaming that fills the air.

 

Final Thoughts

While healthy societies can withstand gradual change, rapid transformation tears apart the social fabric that clothes our collective lives. W0rldtr33 #2 explores the duality of ordinary humans—love versus a desire for power and wealth, how service becomes corrupted, and how what we create can destroy us. More importantly, it questions how we respond to threats. What price do we pay for the common good, and do the ends ever justify the means?

Complicated Relationships

 

This week I finished A Contest Of Principles by Greg Cox. It's a Star Trek novel set during the original crew's five year mission. Greg Cox channels Kirk, Spock, and McCoy well, and he peppers the story with numerous references to episodes of Star Trek, Next Generation, and the original cast's movies. He does throw a few too many truisms into conversations, which sound odd when spoken from someone of another planet and culture. He also splits up the primary characters, which seems a shame, as they play off each other so well. Still, I really like how he takes a worthy look at Spock and McCoy's complicated relationship.

 

 

I also finished Gamora And Nebula: Sisters In Arms. MacKenzi Lee takes the two sisters to Torndune, a planet that's been devastated by mining. Gamora arrives as the agent of an interstellar church. Nebula follows, also intent on winning the same prize. But who's she playing for? The sisters hunt for the heart of the planet. Whichever one brings it to the Grandmaster will win a bet for whoever they're playing for. 

I had trouble understanding the sisters' past--and the state of their relationship--in this one. My knowledge of Gamora and Nebula primarily comes from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and to a lesser extent the comics Marvel's published in the last decade. The story features the Grandmaster, who appears in Thor Ragnarok. Although unseen, the Grandmaster also mentions Topaz, an Ultraverse superhero who appeared in the movie. Sadly, she's rarely been seen in comics since Marvel bought Malibu Comics back in the 1990s. 

Gamora And Nebula: Sisters In Arms is more science fantasy than science fiction. I had trouble believing in the setting. Also, I wish MacKenzi Lee could have introduced the characters and the world better up front, so I could have inhabited the novel more. Still, I enjoyed the complicated relationship between the two sisters, and how each yearns to bridge the distance between them, even as outside factions--such as Thanos--continually seek to pit them against each other.  

Complicated relationships: I guess that's the theme for this week's reads!

The Scorched #18 Review

 

Writers: Sean Lewis & Todd McFarlane

Artist: Stephen Segovia

Colorist: Ulises Arreola

Letterer: Andworld Design

Cover Artists: Victor Bogdanovic; Paul Renaud

Publisher: Image

Price: 2.99

Release Date: May 31, 2023

 

Gaia decided to extinguish all life on Earth. Necro, Margaret Love, and Mandarin spread a pandemic. A plague of locusts transforms humans into zombies. Can the Scorched prevent the Apocalypse? Let's descend into The Scorched #18 and find out!

 

Story

Like Covid-19, the zombie virus evolved. It takes on bestial form and targets the spawns. As the Scorched fight off the attack, Necro, Margaret Love, and Mandarin leap into the fray. Yet these are mere opening bouts. The headline fight between Monolith and Urizen awaits.

 

Like a ringside announcer, the narrator waxes enthusiastic. He responds to each combatant's utterances. Sometimes his wordplay stumbles. "What does he mean?" the reader cries. Once, he contradicts the previous issue's assertion regarding which cosmic force marked the Earth for destruction. Yet his words—and each character's dialogue—sing along to The Scorched #18's theme song. Is it a swansong to our planet or merely to some of the hellspawn? Whatever track DJs Sean Lewis & Todd McFarlane are spinning on the Image turntable, it’s Something Epic!

 

Art

Necro, Margaret Love, and Mandarin opened a portal in the previous issue. She-Spawn leaped into this vortex of multicolored energy, intent upon defending the Earth against whatever they summoned. This onslaught splits light into spectrums. Intense colors fall from the heavens—courtesy of Ulises Arreola—and illumine our heroes. Some—like She-Spawn—radiate light. Others—especially Monolith Spawn—change color. The red giant turns orange in the glare. The god Urizen crunches through the electric blue permafrost, exhaling green fire. Even white becomes a color as patches, smears, and lines convey highlights, and an ancient symbol burns in She-Spawn's eyes.

 

Can She-Spawn defend against skinless virus demons that grasp her in their claws and spew particles into her nose and mouth? As Mandarin attacks Medieval with his two-bladed weapon, he looks made of sticks. Monolith towered over the Scorched teammates on Omega Island. Yet Urizen dwarfs him in The Scorched #18. Highly detailed characters and costumes lose definition as they face cataclysmic threats. Yet Stephen Segovia’s intense action scenes harmonize with Lewis and McFarlane’s riffs on the Book Of Revelations.

 

{Attention! We interrupt this review to alert all Fantasy fans. Lovers of books by writers J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, and Naomi Novik will see panels that make their eyes glow greener than spawns! We now return you to this review!}

 

Andworld Design treats readers of all ages to big uppercase letters in The Scorched #18. While Monolith’s italicized lettering may tax, for the most part, Andworld Design provides adequate spacing between letters using an easy-to-read font. Yellow words in brown narration boxes relay the enthusiastic referee’s commentary. Colored letters, colored balloon outlines, and the shape of linking arrows signal character identities and emotions. Sound effects amplify the drumbeats of destruction as the Four Horsemen crash into our planet’s Hellish Defenders.

 

Final Thoughts

Heroes and villains fight amid the destruction and plague threatening Humanity in The Scorched #18. Will they survive to defend Earth against the planet eaters that consumed Monolith's world? Tune in Next Issue. Same great publisher. Same great series. Same great local comic shop!
