Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #3

Usagi Yojimbo: The Hidden #3 comic reviewWhile continuing to investigate the murder of two strangers to the city they have now identified as Christians, Inspector Ishida and Miyamoto Usagi discover from a local street urchin that the shogun’s men are combing the city for something one of the victims had in his possession at the time of his death. Still unaware of what they are looking for, or the motive for the crime, the pair go in search of the thief that looted the body before the shogun’s men could claim their prize.

The first stop on their list is the local fence Master Win who has the box in his collection but not its contents. When the the fence refuses to offer any insight to where he acquired the object, Usagi offers some proper motivation by playing the fool and making vague threats towards the rest of the man’s collection which will eventually lead them to the thief, Oda. However, there are those who want the prize for themselves and don’t want either Ishida or Usagi uncovering any more of the mystery.

Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #18

Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #18 comic reviewThe arrival of Mysteria, the daughter to classic Spidey-villain Mysterio, who has now been hired by the same casino he is working for prickles Ben Reilly‘s Spidey-Sense to the level that he decides it is time to call in some back-up. Enter Kaine and Dusk. Unfortunately, neither prove to be all that helpful with the illusionist actually makes the casino disappear (by temporarily displacing it in another dimension).

I’m still a bit confused by the inclusion of Mysteria and Mysterio (the retired villain who Reilly threatened just a few issues back). Just what exactly are the father/daughter team up to? And how does temporarily loosing a hotel and casino fit into their plans? Hopefully the fallout of their “trick” will lead to some answers.

Poe Dameron #27

Poe Dameron #27 comic reviewSet after the events of The Last Jedi, the latest arc of Poe Dameron picks up with the remnants of the Resistance aboard the Millennium Falcon sharing stories to help fill in gaps here and there during the events of The Force Awakens.

While the last issue focused on explaining how Poe Dameron made it off of Jakku, Poe Dameron #27 offers the return of a familiar Falcon co-pilot, Rey and Poe getting to know each other a little more, and another tale from the events of the first film involving the pilot Temmin Wexley and Black Squadron‘s reconnaissance of Starkiller Base prior to the Resistance’s attack.

The Wild Storm #13

The Wild Storm #13 comic reviewThe war between I.O. and Skywatch heats up as Jacklyn King gets a close look at Henry Bendix‘s quick and brutal reprisal for I.O. hacking into Skywatch. This, of course, will lead to an I.O. retaliation as well. Elsewhere Jenny Mei Sparks and Shen Li-Min go recruiting as the comic’s version of the Authority may be finally taking shape. By the looks of things, the world will need them sooner rather than later.
