Will Eisner's The Spirit #8Will Eisner’s The Spirit #8 finally gives both the Spirit and the reader some answers into Mikado Vaas as our hero calls on Silk Satin for the truth behind the villain whose very name strikes terror into all who hear it. Silk points our hero in the right direction to a rabbi who is able to provide a tale that seems as much legend as fact in his description of the nefarious arms dealer in which the Spirit finally discovers his connection to the man through Vaas’ daughter Sachet Spice.

The bid for power in Central City continues as those displeased by Commissioner Nolan‘s choice not to resign make their feelings known, as does the chief’s daughter who stands up both for her father and for a certain blue-clad vigilante.

Green Lantern #50

Green Lantern #50The long-teased big throwdown between New 52 Hal Jordan and his pre-New 52 Parallax counterpart isn’t exactly as advertised. Anti-climactic may be the best way to describe the encounter. On one hand I enjoyed Parallax’s reaction to Coast City and seeing his family still alive, on the other hand his reaction to seeing Hal as an enemy (even after learning he can’t save Coast City from destruction as it fell in this version of the DCU as well) is where things start to go wrong.

The problem with this version of Parallax as a villain is he’s simply too strong for Hal Jordan, or anyone, to defeat alone.
