Fantastic Four #1

/ / Comics

Fantastic Four #1 comic reviewThe Fantastic Four don’t actually appear in the first issue of their new series, at least not together. Nearly the entire issue takes place on Earth where the sudden appearance of the Fantastic Four logo in the sky causes very different reactions for the Human Torch (whose hope is dashed when he discovers the entire episode was nothing more than a prank of local kids) and the Thing (who knows all too well that his family is gone).

There are some nice moments here including a flashback to an earlier adventure where Johnny sang the family home from deep space, a long-overdue proposal and Johnny getting the sign he demanded (even if it is produced in the most cliched and hamfisted way possible moments after his temper tantrum). Even if they aren’t together yet, it does appear that the family is ready for a reunion.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #25

/ / Comics

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #25 comic reviewTaking a break from recent events, and stretching out new abilities, Leonardo travels to the Astral Plane where he encounters an unusual guide and an unexpected adversary. Tied to recent events, but very much a standalone story, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe #25 is an interesting issue that takes place almost entirely in the mental/spiritual realm.

“Dan” who appears both as a statue and a living guide for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, is an odd character who gives the first-half of the issue a somewhat goofy feel. The arrival of Kitsune, however, turns things serious quickly. The art of Nelson Daniel is able to capture both tones quite well.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #254

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #254 comic reviewThe focus of the latest “Special Mission” one-shot story turns its attention on Destro. We catch up to the weapons supplier in the middle of a sales pitch to a wealthy, but reluctant, prospective client. In a series of controlled tests, Destro showcases the inventions of M.A.R.S. Industries, but its not until an attack by the client’s enemies who rips through existing defenses and leaves only Destro between the man and certain death that the true salesmanship begins.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #254 offers another nice single-issue adventure which should please Destro fans. Although the Baroness does get a supporting role, Destro is the focus of the issue.

Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #22

/ / Comics

Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #22 comic reviewBen Reilly and Kaine both follow their own leads which will lead both Scarlet Spiders to the Diogenes Initiative. For Kaine that means sneaking into the top secret facility and getting chased around by a giant two-headed dog before getting taking down by Nakano (although, to be fair, she did cheat).

Reilly has a much different introduction to the group, walking in the front door and finding Jezebel and Gabriel who offer the hero the one thing he has been searching for: a cure for Abigail Mercury. They also give Ben his clone brother back (albeit hogtied and grumpy as hell).
