She-Hulk #3

/ / Comics

She-Hulk #3What happens when the son of crazy dictator, who also happens to be the Fantastic Four‘s arch-enemy, shows up in your office looking for help getting away from his father? If you’re She-Hulk it means you’ve found your burgeoning new law firm’s first client.

Struggling to get Kristoff Vernard to the courthouse in time to argue for his right to asylum before the end of the day, She-Hulk faces the obstacle of a small army of Doombots standing between her client and possibly his last chance at breaking free of Doctor Doom‘s control.

Offering the same mix of action and courtroom drama, along with a good supply of both humor and action, She-Hulk #3 shows off Jennifer Walters’ impressive abilities although the day is far from won when Kristoff’s father shows up forcing an early end to the proceedings. I may still not be 100% sold on the the art of Javier Pulido, but there’s enough here to bring me back to see where the story goes from here. Worth a look.

Bones - The High in the Low

The Jeffersonian is called in to investigate the discover of the remains of an art student found in the woods during a manhunt of an escaped prisoner. Before her murder the young woman suffering from Lupus worked for a medical marijuana dispensary in D.C. which opens up new suspects in the form of a college kid (P.J. Boudousqué) who was thrown out of the shop while trying to score some drugs, the clinic’s security guard (Roshawn Franklin) who Sweets (John Francis Daley) believes had unreciprocated feelings for the victim based on a series of drawings she did before her death, and the dispensary’s owner (Larry Sullivan) whose livelihood was put in jeopardy when the young woman started selling her own strain of pot to customers at the show under the table.

Legends of Red Sonja #5

/ / Comics

Legends of Red Sonja #5The five-issue mini-series featuring a number of artists and writers offering various takes on the She-Devil with a Sword comes to a close as Red Sonja picks off another member of the Grey Riders in a tale by writer Blair Butler and former Secret Six artist Jim Calafiore and one more member of the band will fall to the tricks of a band of actors and thieves in a story by Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Valentine De Landro.

From there Gail Simon and artist Jack Jadson bring the series to a close as Red Sonja, tired of playing games with the group out for her head, springs one final trap and teaches the remaining soldiers and mercenaries a deadly lesson about being careful about what they wish for.

Legends of Red Sonja #5 ends the mini-series a strong note (and unfortunate use of hero’s chain-mail bikini by one of the acting troupe). Those who have stayed with the series are rewarded, and for those who haven’t I would recommend looking out for the likelihood of a trade paperback collection in the near future. Worth a look.

Fairest #25

/ / Comics

Fairest #25After her stepsister is quickly dispatched by the timely arrival of Rama and Veruna, Cinderella returns to Fabletown along with her friends to report her findings to Snow White setting up next month’s conclusion of “Of Men and Mice” and the fallout between sisters that threatens to shake the Fable Universe to its core.

I enjoyed the latest issue of Fairest, even if I was surprised how quickly the issue dispensed with the threat of Cindy’s evil stepsister (but Veruna was pretty damn cool). Bringing in the feud between Snow White and Rose Red from the main Fables comic continues to blend the two titles more strongly together in what is sadly their final year of publication.

The uprising of the mice which ends the issue sets up next month’s conclusion to the arc, but its the few panels involving the return of the Fairy Godmother’s memory which adds a new wild card to both the end of this arc and the stories still left to be told. Worth a look.
