Larfleeze #8

/ / Comics

Larfleeze #8As Larfleeze begins cleaning out the planet Sorrow’s coffers for anything that catches the greedy hero’s eye, Sena the Wanderer is reunited with the rest of her family including the temptress Adora (whose amorous powers make anyone who come into contact with her, who isn’t an “orange monkey,” fall immediately in love – something Pulsar Stargrave learns for himself rather quickly).

Finally remembering he has a butler to reacquire, Larfleeze abandons Sorrow to take on Laord of the Hunt‘s entire family (even Adora whose powers, much like those of her siblings, have no effect on the selfish orange ring-slinger).

Larfleeze vs. the gods from another dimension certainly promises plenty of action next week, but I’m even more excited with the actions of the planet of Sorrow who decide to call in a Green Lantern to deal with their new problem which means the comic has something truly great up its sleeve yet to come. Worth a look.

Nova #13.NOW

/ / Comics

Nova #13.NOWSam Alexander vs. the Space Horse! For a title which screams about its newness (given the lame .NOW tag) Nova #13.NOW is actually a throwback issue to a longtime staple of comics history. Two heroes meet under some form of misunderstanding leading to the pair to duke it out for a few panels before discovering their error and agreeing to team-up to take on the real threat.

Following on the events of last issue and Nova accidentally helping the wrong side in a conflict, Beta Ray Bill comes to Earth for answers. As a longtime fan of Bill I’m happy to see him, and the fight between Nova and and Walt Simonson‘s creation of a Space Horse dressed up as Thor with his own Asgardian hammer is fun to read (especially playing on the idea of Bill using his Hammer to hold Nova in place).

By the end of the issue the heroes are finally on the same page and next month we’ll see they can provide as much fun working together as fighting as the pair head off into space to find the ship of slave traders who tricked the young Nova into helping them. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $3.99]
