Justice Society of America #5

Helena Wayne‘s journey through time to save the Justice Society of America, and her father, comes to a head with the team battling Degaton throughout time. Once the super-villain defeated, everyone returns to their own timelines, everyone except the Huntress (who has no timeline to return to).

Justice Society of America #5 is the kind of star-studded affair that writer Geoff Johns does best. Some of his best work has been on different iterations of the JSA and you can see his love for these characters come through the pages.

Moon Knight #26

Moon Knight #26 steps away from Marc Spector and his mission for a single issue look at Hunter’s Moon. We get the other Fist of Khonshu dealing with his recent resurrection with Doctor Andrea Sterman and helping the Moloids deal with invaders tunneling in their underground realm for nefarious purposes. A Moon Knight comic without Moon Knight can’t help but be slightly disappointing. That said, the issue does attempt to flesh out Hunter’s Moon more than just the more stoic and faithful servant to Khonshu.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1957 – From Below

The Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1957 – From Below one-shot is set near the end of 1957 as the B.P.R.D. travel to Coos Bay, Oregon, and a haunted sawmill with a history of reported odd occurrences. The comic is your basic haunted house mystery with Hellboy and his team looking for what may cause commotion every few years and then go quiet. It builds up fairly well to the reveal, leading right up to an ominous door which some monstrosity hides behind, although the truth behind the the trouble at the sawmill isn’t as exciting as one may have hoped.
