Young Justice #8

/ / Comics

Young Justice #8 comic reviewThe team’s travels through the Multiverse continue in Young Justice #8 when they discover they’ve been dropped off in the evil mirror dimension of Earth 3. The comic features our heroes getting their butts kicked (rather soundly at times) by mirror images of themselves and other heroes from their own world (although our heroes do manage to get a few licks in).

The evil version on display here are Amaxon Thunder (an evil Wonder Girl), Drake (a dickish Robin), Hex (Jinny Hex‘s doppelganger), Luthor-El (evil Superboy), an evil speedster to match Impulse, and a not as evil as expected version of Stephanie Brown (I’m not sure what that says about Brian Michael Bendis’ view of Earth 1’s Spoiler).

Usagi Yojimbo #4

Usagi Yojimbo #4 comic reviewUsagi Yojimbo #4 begins a new arc when Miyamoto Usagi encounters Lady Mura on the road. A talented writer whose work captures Usagi’s attention, even causing the ronin to imagine himself as a character in her story, Usagi decides to walk a ways with Mura who is on her way to see her father after a dust-up with her abusive husband the night before.

Hearing of her arranged marriage, and her husband’s anger that her prestige has now outshines his own, inspires Usagi to offer his services as bodyguard to Mura on the road, which turns out to be a fateful decision when her husbands thugs show up to forcibly return her home (and are sent back without Usagi removing the blade from its sheath).

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8

/ / Comics

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 comic review“Hellmouth Prelude” moves away from the recent storyline involving Willow and Xander and instead offers a little of Buffy‘s not-so-glorious Halloween Dance experience (although she does end up trading a few barbs with a tall stranger) and offering a glimpse at a night out for Giles and Jenny which turns dark quickly thanks to Joyce Summers‘ awful taste in art (in a nice holdover from the television series).

Joyce having stocked a little trinket vital to Drusilla‘s plans to open the Hellmouth doesn’t turn out well for anyone at the art opening, not even Spike whose better half stabs him with the dagger heating up the Hellmouth (which is never something the locals in Sunnydale want to happen).

Ghost Spider Annual #1

/ / Comics

Ghost Spider Annual #1 comic reviewGhost Spider Annual #1 follows the events of the recently relaunched series where Spider-Gwen has left her home dimension and arrived in the middle of the MCU to go to college (and do a little crime busting on the side under the new name Ghost Spider). Still getting into the swing of things (so to speak), the story looks into the early days of Gwen’s time at college taking a swing around campus following an lecture.

Spider-Gwen trips a long-dormant trap left for Spider-Man by the villain Arcade. To escape, she will be tested by wave after wave of fake versions of Spider-Man’s most notorious enemies (and even this dimension’s wall crawler himself).
