Buffy: The Last Vampire Slayer #1

/ / Comics

Set four years after the initial run of the comic of the same name set in an alternate dimension where a 50 year-old Buffy Summers trains Thessaly, the daughter of Willow and Tara, to be a vampire slayer. Not having read the previous series, or really knowing any details on just how different this world is that of the canonical Buffyverse, not to mention a slew of new characters (or a few recognizable figures in different roles), there is a bit of a curve getting up to speed (even if this is a first issue of the series).

Magneto #1

/ / Comics

While I understand the concept of Magneto #1, I have absolutely no idea what is going on, when events are set, or why this is a New Mutants comic.

Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder #1 kicks off a new black, white, and red anthology series for Harley Quinn. The first issue is a nice mix focusing on the humor, tragedy, and wackiness of the character. In “The Man of Steal!” Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy travel up north to break into the Fortress of Solitude only to be surprised by first a Bat-Butler, leading to some aspersions being tossed at the Man of Steel, and then running into the Justice League’s game night.

Darkwing Duck #7

/ / Comics

Fans who enjoy seeing Darkwing Duck get riled up need look no further than Darkwing Duck #7 and his first foray through the city’s new museum of super-heroes which leads to in increasingly agitated state. The issue plays on the pettiness of DW who is perturbed not only by how much credit other heroes get in the museum but the lackluster state of his own exhibit as well.
