Jessica Jones #17

Jessica Jones #17 comic reviewJessica Jones #17 brings a conclusion (at least for now) to the odd relationship between Jessica Jones and Zebediah Killgrave, the Purple Man. It’s a talky final issue between the pair as Jessica refuses Kilgrave’s offer and verbally spars over the reasoning against using his powers at all (even for the greater good). Despite the temptation, Jessica is firmly against the possibility of using Killgrave to “fix” the world. Is it the right decision? Perhaps, perhaps not, but it is the only one (given their history) that Jessica could make.

I’ll admit the end, Kilgrave’s exit (if indeed it is an exit and not some elaborate feint), left me a bit cold. Far from going out in style, our villain simply ceases to be which leads into a great panel by artist Michael Gaydos on the relief which washes over our heroine like a tidal wave.

Detective Comics #975

Detective Comics #975 comic reviewAlthough she isn’t present for the proceedings, Detective Comics #975 convenes the rest of the Bat Family to discuss Batwoman and her choice to kill Clayface. While Batman sits largely silent, each member of the team presents their case for or against the woman they all saw as an ally.

While Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin all come down basically as you would expect from each of the characters, it’s Batgirl whose thoughts prove the most enlightening (not on how the team should necessarily deal with Batwoman but how Batman’s actions helped lead to this tragedy that left one member of the team dead and another shattered). She makes a strong argument against Batman’s decision process to bring Batwoman into the fold.

Darth Vader #12

Darth Vader #12 comic reviewReturning from a missing to kill a Jedi where the Dark Lord of the Sith was ambushed by mercenaries, another attempt is made on Darth Vader‘s life when someone blocks his ship’s communications and causes the Coruscant defense to shoot down Vader and Ninth Sister. Someone obviously very high up in the Empire wants Vader dead.

Although we don’t get names for the collaborators, they are certainly not Rebels. It seems there’s a faction in the Imperial aristocracy that has taken issue with the Emperor bestowing such trust and power to a complete unknown.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39

/ / Comics

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39 comic reviewA severely-injured Kyle, only held together by the power in Hal Jordan‘s ring, has made it back to Oa with news of Hal’s capture by Zod. While the Guardians hesitate to come to any rash response, Guy Gardner forms his own team and sets out with the cavalry to the planet Jekuul to lay some GL smack down on Zod and his family.

While we don’t get much of Hal this issue, other than Zod threatening him, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39 does continue to focus on his ring. Forged from his own will, the ring not only is strong enough to keep Kyle alive, conscious, and ready for action, but it also adds some of Hal’s cockiness and personality quirks to Earth shittiest Green Lantern. (Sadly, these don’t make Kyle that much more tolerable).
