Naomi #4

/ / Comics

Naomi #4 comic reviewBrian Michael Bendis is such a tease. The fourth issue of Naomi offers some answers but leaves just as many questions dangling. From her adopted father, who is actually a soldier from Rann, Naomi learns the true story of how her parents met and how he was sent here to track down a Thanagarian assassin (the same mechanic who had trouble hiding the truth from Naomi once she began asking questions).

As to who Naomi’s parents were, and who she is, well… that’s still a bit of mystery. That she arrived through a portal, hunted down by an undefined group, offers a deeper mystery. The fact that the woman who was running with her (her mother? or her kidnapper?) also left behind a little something extra in a small box will likely lead to its own series of questions.

James Bond 007 #6 comic reviewAfter being outsmarted by John Lee who was able to make off with the golden statue under 007’s nose, Bond plays catch-up and go after the agent who now both governments want brought in.

Green Lantern #6

/ / Comics

Green Lantern #6 comic reviewHal Jordan‘s undercover operation to infiltrate the Darkstars comes to an end, although what happens to the universe’s greatest Green Lantern is something that is left unexplained. Opening with an old fashioned duel between Hal and Adam Strange, the Darkstar recruit manages to fake Strange’s death (in the kind of old school hero misdirection that is never adequately explained) and earn himself an audience with his new team’s Controller Mu.

Here we discover that Hal’s entire mission was a colossal waste of time as Mu easily saw through Hal’s purpose for joining the team. However, his arrival at this time and place does alert the Guardians of the Universe to the threat of a U-Bomb which could wreak devastation across the universe. Ordered to destroy the device at all cost, Green Lantern goes to work.

Amber Blake #1

/ / Comics

Amber Blake #1 comic reviewAmber Blake #1 brings the French comic from writer and Jade Lagardère artist Jackson Butch Guice to American audiences. The stuff of pulp fiction, the comic jumps around quite a bit introducing us to the title character as we go from her being dropped off at an orphanage to her enrollment in a prestigious school through her graduation to the awful night that ends that relationship.

With pacing issues and a story that glosses over large chunks of the character, we really only get snippets of who Amber is up until the night when her girlfriend is attacked by the school’s predatory head. An attempt at exposing the truth leads to murder and a new job offer for Amber from a secret organization specializing it going after targets like the one that just slipped through her fingers.
