Angel #2 comic reviewThere are several points of interest in the second issue of Angel, even if the full story remains hidden and a bit fractured and still out of focus.

Following the death of his friend, Angel is back in hero mode searching for answers.

Atomic Robo & the Dawn of a New Era #5 comic reviewAtomic Robo & the Dawn of a New Era comes to a close without any twist, large disaster, or looming trouble for the new Tesladyne team.

Detective Comics #1006

Detective Comics #1006 comic reviewWhen Detective Jim Corrigan is shot and kidnapped, the Spectre reaches out to the world’s greatest detective for help. Not always the most subtle of DC’s characters, growing 300 feet tall and stalking the streets of Gotham City draws the attention of the Batman.

The Spectre has always been a fringe character that has fascinated me more than most of the characters that fill up the more mystical range of the DCU (with the other exception being Zatanna). Although the logic of his actions seems a bit peculiar here (couldn’t he have just materialized where Batman was?), the mystery of just what the odd cult wants with the body of the Spectre’s host works well here. Obviously the want something, but what are they after?

/ / Comics

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Beast of Vargu comic reviewThe latest one-shot takes Hellboy to 1962 Romania where a series of sightings over the years, along with some recent disappearances, seem to point to some truth behind the legends of a monster tied to the Castle Vargu in the Carpathian Mountains. Any doubts Hellboy had to the legends are soon put to rest by the thorough butt-kicking he receives at the hands of the creature who is in fact devil-worshiper Costache Szilagy who returns from the pit every few years to murder and send more souls to Hell.
