doctor-who-series-4-6-coverThe latest Doctor Who Classic Series featuring the Sixth Doctor, Peri, and his penguin private eye companion Frobisher comes to an end as the threesome head to the planet of Zazz for the Lorduke’s 21st birthday bash. However, on arriving on the planet they run into the Lorduke’s brother, an exiled mad scientist who believes he can escape the planet’s gravity by use of a rocket powered by an erupting volcano and who unintentionally has released a plague of self-replicating robots who could quickly overrun the entire planet.

Fairest #5

/ / Comics

fables-5-coverAs Ali Baba and Briar Rose dig themselves out of the wreckage caused by the battle of two powerful witches the Snow Queen and Hadeon (who was summoned by the number of times mentioned by Jonah Panghammer in telling the story of Briar Rose and the Snow Queen) begin round two.

Another really strong issues gives us plenty of action as the witches duel and Ali Baba and Briar Rose continue to bicker and we finally learn why Rose has been so cold to the thief since he awakened her with love’s first kiss.

What’s more interesting, however, is the change in the Snow Queen who has broken the shackles which Panghammer finally allowed her to see and, just as Ali Baba is considering it, begins to give a romantic tryst with the untrustworthy thief some serious thought.

Next issue’s opening arc finale promises more actions and “the consequences of pissing off seven faerie godmothers.” Count me in. Must-read.

Atomic Robo: The Flying She-Devils of the Pacific #1

/ / Comics

atomic-robo-she-devils-of-the-pacific-1-coverIn 1951 Atomic Robo finds himself shot down while flying a new prototype jet over the South Pacific. Just as unexpectedly comes help from a group of female pilots all wearing jet packs.

After being forced to crash land and being rescued by the She-Devils of the Pacific out intrepid robotic scientific adventurer discovers there’s much more going on in the South Pacific than he knew about. Years after the end of WWII, mercenaries have set about claiming weapon and supply depots left unguarded by both Japan and the Allies.

Using whatever they can find, including the cobbled together jet packs, a giant air ship and a secret island base in the Pacific, the She-Devils (women who refused to return home to household chores after the war ended) protect the territory from pirates and mercenaries.

A fun first issue to start the new series with an unexpected (but humorous) chauvinistic slant from Atomic Robo. Worth a look.

Fatale #6

/ / Comics

fatale-6-coverThe new arc pics up several months following the events of Fatale #5. Nicolas Lash‘s obsession with Josephine has only grown stronger as he finds himself increasingly isolated from friends as he works on a biography of his uncle to search for any clues about Josephine’s past.

Lash is approached by a local private investigator about a safety deposit box in his uncle’s name raising his hopes only to find his life immediately in danger as he realizes he isn’t paranoid after all, the mysterious group that almost sacrificed him months ago is still after him.

The rest of the new arc concerns a new character, a B-movies star named Miles who did a single film with Josephine, and who coincidentally shows up on her doorstep with a mysterious film Josephine wants to know all about and a bleeding young girl after fleeing the party of a local cult. The new arc starts out with a bang. Worth a look.
