Batman & the Outsiders #2

/ / Comics

Batman & the Outsiders #2 comic reviewWith Sofia Ramos under the temporary care of Kaliber, Batman sends the Outsiders to reach the girl before the minions of Ra’s al Ghul can find her. Even with the timely arrival of the Outsiders as back-up, Kaliber can’t keep Ra’s acolyte Ishmael from Sofia who, given the chance to run, decides to stand her ground.

Batman & the Outsiders #2 certainly sells Ishmael as a legitimate threat who makes short work of the Outsiders and Kaliber. Once again DC can’t quite decide just how skilled to make Orphan, who (despite being pronounced the best fighter in the DCU during the current Rebirth continuity), is thrown away easily by Ra’s minion.

Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #9

/ / Comics

Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #9 #comicsSpider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider #9 opens with our hero waking to deal with the fallout of last issue’s bombing. While Gwen’s quick thinking saved her band, the same can’t be said for the bomb’s effect on much of the audience. Spending time helping survivors get medical attention only increases Gwen’s anger to seek out the person responsible and inflict some justice.

The second-half of the action-heavy issue features Spider-Gwen versus the talkative Man-Wolf who wants to put the upstart hero in her place. Looking like a character that leapt out of Image Comics, Man-Wolf is certainly imposing, but (despite his rhetoric) not quite up to the challenge as big bad wolf bites off far more than he can chew.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #5

/ / Comics

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #5 comic reviewXander Harris is a vampire. However, their may still be hope for one of the original Scoobies as Giles comes up with a possible way to save their friend’s soul before the demon takes over completely. With Xander being turned within the first four issues of the new series we definitely see an even larger break with the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer continuity. At this point writer Jordie Bellaire and artist Dan Mora have me unsure just how this will turn out. While this last-second, available through Anya‘s magic shop, offers hope, I do wonder just what the creators of the new Buffy have in mind for Xander as the story unfolds.

Black Cat #1

/ / Comics

Black Cat #1 comic reviewBlack Cat #1 introduces us to our main character in the middle of a heist by Felicia Hardy which is as much about her skill as a thief as her ability to use that reputation for misdirection in order to snag the big score. The issue ends with the introduction of the Black Fox who trained Felicia’s father. A far younger version of the character also appears in the back-up story “The Black Fox in Leaving Miami” which shows the thief’s skill and guile in stealing from Dracula.

Along with an appearance by the Black Fox, the main story also offers introduction to the Black Cat’s crew and the added obstacle for Felicia in the New York Thieves Guild who believe the Black Cat owes them and will stop at nothing to collect.
