Blue and Gold #2

Blue and Gold #2After being rebuffed by the Justice League, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle set out to make a name for themselves. As with most of Booster Gold’s ideas, things don’t exactly go to plan. The heroes are able to recover some stolen Kord technology but also earn the animosity of the company’s board leading to Ted Kord’s exit. So much for them picking up the duo’s super-hero bills.

While it might not be as strong as the opening issue, writer Dan Jurgens and artist Ryan Sook still offers some fun to the pair’s antics (with a toned down social media prescience commenting on Booster’s livestreaming heroics).

Ted’s removal from Kord Industries certainly puts the pressure on our heroes to make their own way going forward without the financial backing and high-tech gadgets at their disposal.

Alex Rider - Episode One

Going for a less over-the-top feel than the 2006 film, the opening episode of Alex Rider introduces us to the talented teenager who discovers his recently deceased uncle (Andrew Buchan) was actually a secret agent. Otto Farrant is well cast as the series lead as Alex looking into his uncle’s “car crash” leads to the discovery of a secret world he’s first invited, and then later blackmailed, into becoming a part of. “Episode One” also lays the foundation for the season’s villains in the evil teenager (George Sear) who kills his father and the mention of a private school which will no doubt be Alex’s eventual destination.

Green Lantern 2021 Annual #1

/ / Comics

Green Lantern 2021 Annual #1The Green Lantern 2021 Annual #1 answers a couple of big questions to the ongoing storyline unfolding in Green Lantern where the Corps is in shambles following the destruction of the Power Battery on Oa. First, how did Jessica Cruz become a member of the Sinestro Corps? And second, where the hell has Hal Jordan been?

The comic spends the majority of the time answering the first question, starting with Jessica dropping off three captured prisoners on New Korugar using one of the Yellow Lanterns own rings. Impressed, Sinestro offers Jessica a role within his corps which she initially declines but does keep the ring in order to get back to Earth where she learns how to make good use of the fear inside herself, and in others, to do some good. Of all the Green Lanterns, Jessica is the obvious choice to find a new path and I’ll be curious to see where it takes her from here.

Red Sonja #1

/ / Comics

Red Sonja #1 comic reviewRed Sonja #1 kicks off a new story as Red Sonja is hired to find Sitha, a missing child from a powerful religious caste kidnapped and now in a migrant village which has been pillaged by the Three-Eyed Shezem and is still burning by the time Sonja arrives on the scene. Angered by arriving so late, Sonja is shocked to find the girl miraculously still alive. Feverish and confused, Sitha takes Sonja to be her mother and so their journey together begins.

Most of the action comes late in the comic when the Three-Eyed Shezem catch up with Sonja and the girl only to get the pointy-end of Sonja’s blade and the unbridled fury of the girl’s hidden power. There’s obviously more to Sitha than just a confused young girl.
