Scarlet Spider #8

/ / Comics

scarlet-spider-8-coverFinding himself in the ridiculous position of trusting an obviously mentally unstable woman he saved, then slept with, then learned she created the explosion he saved her from, leads the Scarlet Spider to trespass on Roxxon property and threaten the CEO when a group of heroes show up to stop him. All-in-all, he’s had better days.

Battling the Rangers, Kaine manages to escape with the young woman who convinces him once again that her father is truly up to no good. This leads him to break into another of Roxxon facilities only to find no evidence to support the woman’s claim (cursing his decision to believe Zoe), and once again be ambushed by the now even more ticked off Rangers.

Of course that’s not the end of the story as the ensuing battle uncovers the awful truth about what Roxxon is really up to and creates an unstable new situation the Scarlet Spider and Rangers will have to work together to stop. Here’s hoping the conclusion is filled with as much action and humor as this issue. Worth a look.

[Marvel, $2.99]

It Girl and the Atomics #1

/ / Comics

it-girl-and-the-atomics-1-coverWith Madman and two of the Atomics off on an intergalactic music tour with Red Rocket 7, the safety of Snap City falls to an extremely bored It Girl who spends most of her time playing the video game “Dark Streets,” complaining about the lack of real criminals on the streets, and even allowing Dr. Flem to test out his latest experiment on her involving Electrical Transference.

The story also includes a plot thread showcasing a former villain (the Skunk) trying to go straight but having trouble convincing both It Girl and his old crew that he’s done with a life of crime following his recent parole.

I’ve never be an avid reader of writer Mike Allred’s Madman universe, but the first issue of this new series intrigued me and I decided to give it a shot. I’m glad I did.

The story isn’t as weird as some of the Madman arcs get. In fact, at least for the first issue it’s pretty straightforward, although what the exactly the fallout from Flem’s experiment is may well determine where the comic goes from here. Worth a look.
