Guardians of the Galaxy #16

/ / Comics

Guardians of the Galaxy #16After a couple of depressing issues involving the various members of the Guardians of the Galaxy being captured, sold into slavery, tortured, experimented on, and imprisoned, the tide begins to turn in Guardians of the Galaxy #16. Last seen freefalling to his death after jumping out a skyscraper window, Peter Quill is rescued by Carol Danvers (a character I enjoy but not necessarily in a Guardians comic) and makes an impassioned televised speech turning the public perception of his ragtag band around.

Meanwhile Venom frees himself with the Skrulls‘ attempt to bond with his symbiote, Gamora gets a reprieve with the sudden arrival of Angela, and Drax is offered the fate he’s demanded of Gladiator for the past two issues.

Where the last issue felt very much like filler, Guardians of the Galaxy #16 starts to move the story forward again. Hopefully it continues and we won’t have to wait several more issues to put the band back together. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]

“Batman and Robin have become crooks!”

Batman - The Cool, Cruel Mr. Freeze

In honor of Batman‘s 75th Anniversary we turn out attention back to the Dark Knight’s more memorable moments on the big and small screen turning our attention to The Adventures of Batman. One-half of the short-lived The Batman/Superman Hour, The Adventures of Batman featured the Dynamic Duo against Batman’s rogues gallery in 6-minute and 13-minute episodes. Casting Olan Soule as Batman and Casey Kasem as Robin the Boy Wonder for the first time, the pair would reprise the roles on Scooby-Doo and the various SuperFriends shows over the years.

Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #6

/ / Comics

Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #6Despite teasing us with a new Broancoat rebellion and an army of River-like assassins to fight, Serenity: Leaves on the Wind #6 wraps up the six-issue mini-series mainly concerned with the planning and execution of breaking Zoe out of an Alliance prison and introducing a dangerous new villain.

The series brings Jayne back onto the ship as well as two new members in Iris (another brainwashed assassin who, at least so far, is less wacky than River but no less deadly) and Bea who seems to have earned a spot on the ship with the halt to her rebellion and the help she provides while rescuing Zoe. How long either sticks around is anyone’s guess.

The only sequence I thought felt out of place was the confrontation between the frehsly-rescued Zoe and the Operative. It’s not that I don’t feel that scene would have taken place, I’m just not quite buying taking place at that particular moment which seems a bit shoehorned into the comi (plus it removes an intriguing character from the fold). Worth a look.
