/ / Comics

Far Sector #1 comic reviewOn the far edge of the known universe a new Green Lantern looks to solve the first major crime in the City Enduring in the last 500 years. Far Sector #1 introduces readers to rookie Lantern Sojourner Mullein who although green (forgive the pun) is the metropolis’ best chance of solving a crime they have no experience with.

The story has a strong sci-fi premise with more than a whiff of Isaac Asimov. The setting is a vast metropolis that houses three separate races of aliens who have removed emotion from the equation (after tempers last led to the destruction of several worlds).

Event Leviathan #6

/ / Comics

Event Leviathan #6 comic reviewThe six-issue mini-series concludes with confirmation that former Manhunter Mark Shaw is the man responsible for stealing Leviathan away from Talia al Ghul and putting it to work to take down the DC Universe’s various spy agencies. Batgirl also arrives in time to reveal Leviathan’s endgame: leverage and expose various secrets around the world to gain control and gain power (and do what Manhunters were designed to do and bring order).

While far from a flashy choice, Shaw works as the man behind the mask that even revealed leaves him something of a mystery (Superman doesn’t even recognize him). With Shaw and Leviathan still at large as the mini-series comes to an end, this offers a chance for further explore both the leader and the organization over the coming months in potentially several different DC titles.

Usagi Yojimbo #6 comic reviewWith the 35th anniversary of the character’s first appearance, creator Stan Sakai takes us back to the beginning by expanding the original 8-page story in which the character appeared (“The Goblin of Adachigahara”) in this look at the wandering rabbit ronin’s travels leading him back to the plains of Adachi where Lord Mifune fell in battle years before.

Available in multiple variant covers, Usagi Yojimbo #6 is certainly worth picking up for both longtime readers and newcomers to get a glimpse into what makes Miyamoto Usagi tick.
