Zorro Masters II

As with the first Zorro Masters one-shot, Zorro Masters II reprints a couple of stories from Dell Zorro and Dell Four Color, each from writer/artist Alex Toth. Taking up the majority of the issue, “Gypsy Warning” involves the theft of all the gunpowder within the garrison, replaced by charcoal by the former comandante’s wife and other conspirators working for the traitor known as the Eagle who also plan to kill Sergeant Garcia until Zorro swoops in saving both Garcia, and later the comandante’s wife, from the Eagle’s wrath.

Moon Knight #17

Before his confrontation with the Tutor, Moon Knight must deal with the fallout from last issue’s B-story and the murder of Hunter’s Moon at the hands of Grand Mal and Nemean. More of a horror comic than the previous issues, Moon Knight draws the two hired killers into the Midnight Mission to exact some vengeance on them. And after taking his pound of flesh, our hero turns his attention back on the Tutor and his cabal.

Fantastic Four #1

In somewhat of an odd way to launch a new title, Fantastic Four #1 only gives us one member of the team and sticks him in a time loop for the entire issue. The Thing and Alicia Masters check-in to a hotel in the small town of Cedar where time resets every morning at 4am. Sticking around to try and figure out what the hell is going on in the oversized first issue the plays on several classic themes including Ben scaring the local populace (as the loop started well before the Four made their first appearance).

Deadpool #1

A new volume of Deadpool starts here with a pair of storylines. The first, involving Deadpool being contracted by an illusive assassin guild known as the Atelier to kill Doc Ock, gets pushed into the background pretty quickly (but likely will prove the longer thread for the comic). The second, which takes up most of the issue, involves Deadpool being kidnapped by the Harrower in an attempt to grow a new Carnage inside Deadpool’s body whose healing properties provide an unique setting for her experiment.

Vampirella vs. Red Sonja #1

Despite what the title suggests, both Red Sonja and Vampirella play only minor supporting roles in the first issue of the new mini-series. Instead, the focus is on the Project (a collection of Dynamite Entertainment heroes outside time and space brought together to save all known universes against threats). While both Red Sonja and Vampirella were recruited by the group, Sonja continues to serve but Vampirella has been locked up by the heroes.
