The Wild Storm #11

/ / Comics

The Wild Storm #11 comic reviewThe latest issue of The Wild Storm jumps around quite a bit, checking on various characters and the state of events. As a result, the overall plot of the comic moves only marginally forward, although several of these scattered stories do continue to develop.

The Wild Storm #11 gives us Jennifer Mei Sparks and the Doctor getting to know each other better while also providing some foreshadowing of a larger team to come. Is this the first step to a new Authority? We’ll have to wait and see. Angela Spica continues to experiment with the tech that turned her into the Engineer – with cool results. And Grifter gets a visit from an old friend.

Will Eisner’s The Spirit: The Corpse-Makers #5

/ / Comics

Will Eisner's The Spirit: The Corpse-Makers #5 comic reviewWriter and artist Francesco Francavilla’s five-issue mini-series comes to a close with Will Eisner’s The Spirit: The Corpse-Makers #5 as the Spirit and plucky detective Lisa Marlowe work together to makes sense of the missing locales who appear to be working as a zombie army deep under the Earth to harvest a valuable resource. In a move that’s not all that surprising, Francavilla offers a plausable reason (at least by comic book standards) for the zombie-like horde who are in fact drugged and hypnotized cheap labor for the excavation of crimson coal.

Atomic Robo and the Spectre of Tomorrow #3 comic reviewThings continue to be hectic at the site of the new offices of Tesladyne Industries. Lang and Abasi are trying to get the halted construction of the new Tesladyne back on schedule (realizing their boss stealing the private jet of the neighbor who forced the stoppage isn’t likely to help), while Abasi is doing his best to make sure Lang doesn’t kill anyone.

Meanwhile, Atomic Robo is mostly ignoring his team and attempting to covertly help Walker and Broughton, now working for CERES, on the impossible cybernetic outbreak that keeps popping up in the most unusual places at an increasing rate.

Powerpuff Girls: The Bureau of Bad #2

/ / Comics

Powerpuff Girls: The Bureau of Bad #2 comic reviewThe second issue of Powerpuff Girls: The Bureau of Bad, in which various villains present their closest call to defeating the Powerpuff Girls, rolls out some C-List villains as Bianca Bikini takes center stage to describe the closest the Fashionistas have come to defeating the Powerpuff Girls. Oh, and Garbage Gary gets a turn, too. Yeah… he didn’t come very close.

The Fashionistas actually come up with a pretty good plan of kidnapping Professor Untonium and forcing their hostage to design for them indestructible suits capable to standing up to the Powerpuff Girls. It’s just too bad the suits don’t solve the pair’s vanity issues, as simply by staining the costumes the Powerpuff Girls force the villains to change clothes, finding a way to save the day once again (and enjoy some lemon squares).

Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny: Hera

/ / Comics

Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny: Hera comic reviewThe latest from Star Wars Adventures: Forces of Destiny, a series of single-issue adventures each focusing on different heroines of the Star Wars universe, centers around Phoenix Squadron‘s fearless leader Hera Syndulla and her contentious droid who run into some Imperial trouble while attempting to convince Fekunda Outpost to help supply the Rebellion in their fight against the Galactic Empire.

With Imperial Agents already on-site looking for ways to add the outpost to their own supply lines, and with the locals unable to stand-up to the Empire directly, Hera has to think outside the box in order to come up with a solution by making the colony more of a hassle than the Empire has time to handle.
