Scarlet Witch #1

Scarlet Witch #1

The Scarlet Witch is alive? Oh wait, she’s dead again. Honestly, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen Wanda. Her death, and Magneto‘s reaction to it, was a key to the end of mutant utopia and that’s really the last time I remember. Since then, after returning from the dead, it appears she’s taken residence in the small New York town of Lotkill offering magical assistance to those with the help of her friends Darcy and Mantor in what she calls the Emporium.

Transformers #9

Transformers #9

The ninth issue of the new Transformers series gives us the space bridge and new characters from Cybertron taking their first steps on Earth. The most notable of these is Shockwave, one of my favorite Transformers, who certainly retains the ruthlessness from previous incarnations of the character although this version is more fiery and outspoken and a bit less cold and calculating than the original. The bridge also provides a way to get Elita One and Ultra Magnus into the Earth storyline, as well as the Combaticons who are chasing them.

Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow #3

The third issue of Usagi Yojimbo: The Crow shows off the intellect and ruthlessness of Jimmu and his army who successfully take down a convoy outside of town. Only two members of the group, jumping off a cliff, manage to survive. As for Yukichi, his situation doesn’t change as he remains a prisoner of the bounty hunters (although his location is learned by the young boy who isn’t above trading that information for profit, especially given how the bounty hunters treated him).
