Scarlet Spider #6

/ / Comics

Scarlet Spider #6Along with showcasing how Houston’s new hero has taken the city by storm the latest issue of Scarlet Spider puts quite a few stories in motion. We get Kaine squaring off with Ana Kravinoff, his growing frustration with Aracely‘s ability to know more about him than she should (and maybe even more than than he knows about himself), and a couple references to a blue hoodie and the man who used to be known as Scarlet Spider.

The story also gives us a little more information on Aracely and how she’s connected to the mysterious Mexica and “The Darkness” as well as foreshadowing the return of Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter, both of whom have their sites set on the new Scarlet Spider.

Another good issue that give us a big throwdown between Kaine and Ana in a burning church as well as some humorous moments between the frustrated hero and Aracely and some contemplative moments about as Kaine gets used to his new role and place in the world. Worth a look.

The Lone Ranger #6

/ / Comics

the-lone-ranger-vol-2-6-coverWith Marshall Dorsey dead the Lone Ranger leaves Tonto in the care of Utopia’s doctor and turns his attention on Dorsey’s train robbers who are now out for blood and gold now that the threat of the man who kept them under his thumb has been taken care of by the masked man and his Indian companion.

Before the day is out the town will witness another showdown and the Lone Ranger will put to rest the town’s final demons before taking off with Tonto in search of a local tribe who Tonto believes may be able to heal him.

The conclusion to “Hard Country” leaves a few questions unanswered as the Ranger wonders why an agent of the U.S. Government led them straight into a trap. Those answers, however, will have to wait as the next arc will apparently focus on Tonto and the secrets of his past. Worth a look.

Green Lantern #10

/ / Comics

green-lantern-new-52-10-coverWith the Indigo Tribe released from the control of their shattered Power Battery, and with only a minimal charge left in their rings, Hal Jordan and Sinestro find themselves running for their lives from a group of the universes most deadly and dangerous killers.

“The Secret of the Indigo Tribe” concludes with the return of the status quo. Black Hand is able to escape the Tribe for an alternative as his death gives birth the New 52‘s first Black Lantern. Hopefully this won’t mean the return of other zombie members of its Corps as we really, really don’t need to relive Blackest Day in the New 52.

I’m pretty sure that Black Lanterns weren’t at (or anywhere near) the top of the list of what DC’s reboot was missing, but it looks like they’re back. The comic does give us some more strong interplay with Sinestro and Hal as well show us how much Sinestro respects Hal’s ability and bravery (regardless of what he may say to the Earthman’s face). Worth a look.
