Holmes & Houdini #2

Holmes & Houdini #2

Running into each other at the end of the last issue, both attempting a little late thievery, the second issue of Holmes & Houdini features a proper introduction of the pair, before each are separately nabbed by Nolan and taken to his secret lab while the evil mastermind takes the weird alien-ish artifact and pairs it with another to become an even greater threat to the world.

Catwoman #62

Catwoman #62

Catwoman #62 continues the “Nine Lives” storyline in which writer Tini Howard keeps finding ways to kill off Catwoman and bring her back for more. My real interest in the comic isn’t in the story itself, although Catwoman fulfilling an old debt by agreeing to work a single case for Amanda Waller‘s Suicide Squad is an interesting set-up, but the number of characters with ties to the Secret Six including both Black Alice and Jeannette who are part of Catwoman’s team in stealing an artifact from Black Adam.

Zorro: Man of the Dead #2

Reunited with her brother for the first time in years, Rosa’s attempts to get Diego out of La Vega are hampered by the cartel closing down its borders in search of them, Diego’s delusion of being the 19th Century Zorro and his determination to stay and lead a revolution, and the willingness of everyone they meet to gladly buy into Zorro’s return in the community’s time of need. While some were willing to flee, the return of Zorro has given them hope and a willingness to fight.

Nights #5

As the countdown to the end of the world ticks ever closer Vince and his friends hit the local water park for some old fashioned fun that doesn’t go exactly as planned. Nights #5 continues the mix of dark themes and foreboding with humorous moments such as Gray teasing Vince about missing his chance at mouth-to-mouth or an example of even the dead having trouble with computer games.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #304

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #304

There isn’t that much of note in G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #304 which confirms that Snake Eyes and Scarlett aren’t dead (to the surprise of absolutely no one) and the continuation of the partnership between the mutations from Cobra Island led by Serpentor Khan and Revanche. It’s not a bad issue by any means, just a bit of a middling middle issue of a larger arc slowly pushing events forward.
