Green Lantern #4

Green Lantern #4 comic reviewGreen Lantern #4 continues the dual storyline of John Stewart stuck without his ring in the Dark Sector fighting slavers and bounty hunters while back on Oa Sojourner Mullein picks up the pieces of an attack that has left Green Lanterns without working rings, Guardians stuck in some kind of stasis, and the Central Battery deconstructed.

I’ve grown less interested in John’s story with every issue (and I wasn’t all that interested in it to begin with) but thankfully it seems to be wrapping up so I hope to see the focus shift more to Sojourner and Teen Lantern starting with the next issues (especially now that the teenager has flown off looking to pick a fight with Sinestro).

X-Men #1

X-Men #1 comic reviewWhile I wasn’t looking, Marvel rebooted X-Men. Again. The new volume features the heroes return to New York through a Treehouse connected to the mutant’s home base on Arrako. X-Men #1 does offer a look at the Treehouse both through the eyes of Polaris getting a tour inside and reporter Ben Urich reporting on the heroes’ return and their swanky new digs.

We also get the city under attack from some big space thing which the X-Men beat out all of New York’s other heroes to take down. They do so by creating a giant mecha to fight the creature. I don’t know why they do this (I’m not sure the characters do either) but it does offer some nice panels of action.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Rampage / Decommissioned television review

“Rampage” and “Decommissioned” both find the Bad Batch (all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker working for a Trandoshan named Cid who promises to exchange information and a cut of the stakes in each job the squad takes on for her. Both episodes also tie in to various other aspects of the Star Wars universe. In “Rampage,” the Bad Batch is sent to Ord Mantell to rescue a kidnapped child (who turns out to be a Rancor). In “Decommissioned” the squad attempts to steal a T-series tactical droid on Corellia before it is destroyed only to run into a legion of droids guarding the facility and Rafa (Elizabeth Rodriguez ) and Trace Martez (Brigitte Kali Canales) who are also after the lucrative prize.

Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: Chameleon Conspiracy

Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: Chameleon ConspiracyGiant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: Chameleon Conspiracy offers an over-sized conclusion to the Chameleon Conspiracy which involves armies of Chameleons and Jack O’Lanterns fighting on a secret space station which will crash into Earth before the end of the issue. Also onboard are Foreigner and Chance hoping to get their hands on the Catalyst (technology which can predict the future) and its creator. Got all that? Needless to say this isn’t the best place to jump into the story.

We start out with the reveal that Ned Leeds is alive (and still not the Hobgoblin). Um, okay? So is Uncle Ben returning next issue? We also get Teresa Parker fighting alongside Spider-Man (although she does get tempted by the Chameleon at a crucial moment).

Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #4

Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #4 comic reviewBlack Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #4 isn’t a great issue for our heroes. Dane Whitman finds himself haunted by visions shown to him by the Ebony Chalice and finishes the issue slowing bleeding out on the floor. Jackie Chopra dies a rather gruesome death. And Elsa Bloodstone abandons the fight when Mordred buys her off with the bobble she came for.

Speaking of Mordred, his plan comes together quite nicely as he captures the Ebony Blade and then smelts some of the other Ebony items into an Ebony Crown as he reveals his plans to assume the throne his father kept from him.
