The Wild Storm #16

The Wild Storm #16 comic reviewJohn Lynch‘s check-ins with former members of Project Thunderbook continues as his journey takes him to Gloria Spaulding. The interaction goes better than some of Lynch’s recent attempts (Gloria doesn’t attempt to kill him), but as with the others changed by Thunderbook, Spaulding is far from human… although like another member of Thunderbook she has passed something down to a daughter (as the comic continues to pave the way for a new version of Gen13).

The Wild Storm #16 also offers the first interaction between Jenny Mei Sparks and Angela Spica when Jenny becomes aware of the Engineer’s existence. Although Angela doesn’t sign up with Jenny’s new group, the conversation does spur the Engineer to take steps to protect herself from the growing conflict.

Archie Meets Batman ’66 #2

Archie Meets Batman '66 #2 comic reviewWith Batman‘s most fearsome villains (the Joker, Catwoman, the Riddler, the Penguin, and others) relocating to Riverdale for easier pickings, the Dark Knight Detective sends Robin and Batgirl in undercover as transfer students to Riverdale High. Meanwhile the villains, confounded by the sheer number of teenagers in the small town, set to recruiting new henchmen and discover there are some bad apples everywhere, even in Riverdale.

The mashup of the the 60s Batman TV-series and the pre-Riverdale gang provides all kinds of fun as the tones of both mesh perfectly.

Nancy Drew #3

Nancy Drew #3 comic reviewChapter 3 of “The Case of the Cold Case” continues following Nancy‘s discovery of a body in the caves around Deadman’s Cliff. Happy to discover the out-of-contact Nancy is alive and unharmed, her friends finally demand some answers allowing writer Kelly Thompson to catch everyone up on why Nancy has returned to Bayport and what mystery Pete needs her help to solve.

The issue offers the classic trope from Nancy Drew, Scooby Doo!, The Three Investigators, and the Hardy Boys stories as the local police seem reluctant to accept the deductive abilities of the teenage girl and quickly dismiss clues that could help them solve the case. It looks like this one is up to Nancy and friends.
