Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4

/ / Comics

I must admit, I’m not enjoying this latest season of Batman: The Adventures Continue as much as the earlier runs. Don’t get me wrong, the stories aren’t bad, but as the comic has gotten a bit darker in tone the comic has lost some of the all-ages magic of the series which spawned it. Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4 is most notable for working the idea of the Batman Beyond suit into the earlier adventures of Batman and Robin during the Batman: The Animated Series run as the Dynamic Duo fight someone in possession of the prototype armor (which, I guess, just took a really, really long time for Batman to get working).

Hellboy in Love #4

/ / Comics

Finding themselves somehow transported to Mediaeval Turkey, Hellboy and Anastacia look into the history of the shadow puppet theater and the characters of Karagöz and Hacivat, who, if the legends are true, were wrongly executed and cursed. The comic takes some bizarre turns, including both Hellboy and Anastacia getting transformed into puppets for several panels. While the adventure is hit-and-miss, but does show how strong a character Anastacia can be helping to convince the cursed to break their pattern.
