Wonder Woman #28

Wonder Woman #28 comic review“Heart of the Amazon” continues with David Messina taking over the artistic duties for Mirka Andolfo. There’s a noticeable change in style between the pair, and I can’t help but feel a bit letdown by the change. Following her friend’s injury, Diana vows to help Etta Candy recover after the government agent is released from the hospital. Still guilty over not being able to protect her friend from harm, Diana’s day isn’t going to get any better when an assassin shows up targeting the Amazon and putting Etta in further danger.

It seems someone has put a bounty on Wonder Woman’s head. Although Mayfly is the first assassin to take a pass at the Amazon, she’s going to be far from the last. The question is, who wants Diana dead? And why?

Marvel's Defenders - The H Word 1 television review

For a show that had 65 previous episodes to set-up all the characters necessary to tell a combined storyline, the first episode of The Defenders spends an awful long time reintroducing us to the characters from each show. Luke Cage (Mike Colter) is released from prison, thanks in part to the help of Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), and returns to Harlem and Claire (Rosario Dawson). Danny Rand (Finn Jones) and Colleen (Jessica Henwick) stop their worldwide travels searching for the Hand and return to New York after an encounter with a familiar deadly warrior. Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is slowly drinking herself to death and refusing to take any case until threatened to stay away from the search for a missing architect piques her interest. And Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), long since putting his horned-mask and billy-club aside, continues to struggle against leaving that part of his life behind.

Shadowhunters - Hail and Farewell television review

“Hail and Farewell” sets up next week’s season finale and a confrontation between Clary (Katherine McNamara) and Jace (Dominic Sherwood) and Valentine (Alan Van Sprang). Before that happens, however, the Shadowhunters will square off against Jonathan (Will Tudor) and the truce between the Shadowhunters and the Downworlders will crumble as the vampires, mages, and werewolves choose to stand with the Seelie Queen (recast as Sarah Hyland, suggesting a much larger role for the character next season) and her plan to go after Valentine themselves rather than continue to rely on the Shadowhunters.

Dead of Winter: Good Good Dog #1

Dead of Winter: Good Good Dog #1 comic reviewSure, there are plenty of post-apocalyptic comics out there where zombies roam the desolate remains of the Earth, but how many star a former canine television star turned zombie killing machine? Dead of Winter: Good Good Dog #1 introduces us to Sparky, a Lassie-like former star, who now helps her friends fight off the zombie horde and rescue other survivors before they become part of the undead buffet.

It’s an odd premise, and I’ve got to admit I wouldn’t have even given the comic a first (let along second) look if the cover hadn’t caught my eye. Who was this golden retriever with a Superman cape surrounded by zombies? Other than the unusual mutt, the first issue doesn’t bring much to the table in terms of separating it from a number of other similar stories. I’ll give credit to writer Kyle Starks for playing a little coy with just how smart Sparky is, and just how much the dog understands about what is going on in the world.
