/ / Comics

Death of Hawkman #2Death of Hawkman #2 highlights separate storylines of the mini-series two leads. On Rann, Adam Strange tries to prevent his adopted home from retaliating after an attack everyone assumes came from Thanagar. Because the victims of the attack included his father-in-law, Strange finds no solace at home while trying to argue reason over rash action.

There’s also a mystery for Strange to solve involving who altered his Zeta-beams and was masquerading as the hero while he was trapped on Earth. To get to the bottom of that, however, he’s going to need some help.

Everafter #3The third issue of Everafter continues the Fables spin-off’s opening arc with a twist. Remember the death of Connor Wolf which punctuated the end of the previous issue? Well, turns out the newbie spy isn’t dead. Having switched places by morphing into one of the heist crew, Connor is able to report back to The Shadow Players about the team of thieves stealing powerful Native American artifacts from museums all over the world. The trouble for Connor, however, is despite his ability to transform into any person or creature, he doesn’t gain that person’s knowledge or intelligence and, of course, is eventually found out.

Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #7

/ / Comics

Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps #7The conclusion of the series’ opening arc “Sinestro’s Law” pits student against teacher one more time. While Hal Jordan sends Soranik on a mission to deal with the Fear Engine and release those captured and tortured to feed Sinestro‘s power, Hal takes a stand against Sinestro one more time. Hal Jordan’s metamorphosis into something… other began during the New 52. While the comic suggests Hal gives his life to stop Sinestro’s reign of fear, the series’ title and the constant foreshadowing of something more in Jordan’s future makes me believe this isn’t the last we’ve heard from him.

Hal and Sinestro’s battle takes up the majority of the issue here with little more than cameos from Soranik and Guy Gardner. As for the Corps, John Stewart leads his Lanterns to the heart of the universe just in time to witness Hal’s big sacrifice.

Set in present day (or the Archie Comics version of it), Josie and the Pussycats #1 introduces us to struggling solo wannabe Josie, her animal-crazed roommate Melody, and Valerie (the new friend they make at the local animal shelter).

Brought together on stage by the shelter’s need for bands for its charity event, the Pussycats are born. The first issue also introduces the girls’ foil Alexander Cabot III whose actions will unintentionally help bring the trio together when her attempts to sow dissension among the friends backfires and makes them an instant success.
