The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #4

When people around Gotham City start turning into gargoyles (or, more accurately grotesques as Velma points out), Mystery, Inc. helps Batman and Robin investigate. Batman is able to surmise people are turning into copies of nearby gargoyles. However, since Gotham City is full of the things that discovery alone doesn’t solve the problem. However, when Oracle can’t find a single reference to any of the victims online, Batman begins to suspect the truth of what is going on.

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6 concludes the comic adaptation of the Disney+ television show giving us Obi-Wan Kenobi sacrificing himself to ensure Leia‘s escape, the Jedi’s encounter with Darth Vader on Jabiim’s moon, and the epilogue on Tatooine. The sixth issue of the six-issue mini-series doesn’t add anything new to events from the series but does offer a nice moment between Kenobi and Leia (a reimagined relationship that throws all kinds of chaos into the events of the original Star Wars) and of course the lightsaber duel between master and pupil (which stole a bit too much for my tastes from the superior episode of Star Wars Rebels).

Red Sonja #9

Erlik has left the underworld now walking among mortals, Kulan Garth sits atop a throne at the glee of chaos he has helped bring to a shattered world and using dark magic to kill those who would stand against him by turning them against each other, and the Wild Hunt of the dead races into the world bringing death and destruction in its wake. It’s a chaotic but well told story foreshadowing more disappointment and loss for Sonja before any chance at victory.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305

The two big reveals to come out of G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #305 is that Serpentor Khan has already double-crossed Revanche and that the Zartan who  Destro and the Baroness have been talking with is not the real Zartan. The combination of the mutated Cobra faction and Revanche makes for a formidable force. The question of how the Joes would take them down seems to have answered itself with the new Serpentor’s actions taking an important step for them which will no doubt lead to the two factions turning on each other and likely their defeat.
