Batman & the Outsiders #4

Batman & the Outsiders #4 comic reviewBatman & the Outsiders #4 offers the calm before the storm as Ra’s al Ghul bends Sofia Ramos to his will and the Outsiders lick their wounds and gearing up to jump into the fray once more. The issue offers an allusion, if not a full explanation, about why Batman isn’t joining the team on this mission. I’m guessing that the comic is referring to events tied to City of Bane, but honestly can’t be sure as writer Bryan Edward Hill vagues this up as much as possible. Whatever the reason, it appears the Outsiders are on their own.

Despite the storyline feeling stalled throughout the entire issue, are a few moments of interest including Batman’s conversation with Black Lightning, the comic explaining Katana‘s relationship to her sword (and the love trapped inside), and a nice moment of Cassandra offering comfort to Signal.

Usagi Yojimbo #3

Usagi Yojimbo #3 comic reviewUsagi Yojimbo #3 ends the comic’s opening story as Miyamoto Usagi and Sasuké fight for their lives against the demonic puppets and discover that Takagi isn’t the puppet master they believe, but just another puppet being played by the true force behind the scenes.

The action is fast and furious in the final issue of the story as Usagi and the demon hunter bring an end to the madness in the town. And, thanks to Sasuké’s persuasiveness, the pair sidestep any uncomfortable stories about the impossibility of wooden puppets coming to life and draining life force for their master. And it’s a good thing, because I don’t know how exactly the pair would have explained the number of bodies littered across town being mauled by now completely inert wooden puppets.

Event Leviathan #3

Event Leviathan #3 comic reviewEvent Leviathan #3 picks up from Batman and the heroes he’s gathered wrongly accusing the Red Hood for being the mastermind behind Leviathan. As expected, Jason Todd isn’t the one responsible for the attacks on various spy organizations across the DCU, although writer Brian Michael Bendis does up the character’s game in making him a legitimate threat to the heroes if he chooses to be in the future.

And, as Todd points out, he does make the perfect patsy for the entire enterprise, further suggesting the involvement of someone behind Leviathan who knows the deepest secrets of Batman and the Justice League.
