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.

Atomic Robo Presents Real Science Adventures #3

/ / Comics

atomic-robo-real-science-adventures-3-coverAtomic Robo returns with more sciencey adventures including the continuation of The Sparrow‘s WWII spy story and Robo training with Bruce Lee as well as a pair of new stories including a battle of 19th Century flying ships with a turn of the century celebrity crew.

“Tesla’s Electric Schooner” finds Nikola Tesla and the unlikely band of George Westinghouse, Charles Fort, Annie Oakley, Wong Kei-ying, Winfield Scott Lovecraft, and Harry Houdini all working together aboard Tesla’s latest invention to take down the War Zepplin. This along with the continuing Sparrow’s tale turn out to be the two best adventures of the issue (making this an aberration as neither star Atomic Robo).

The fourth tale, “Atomic Robo and the Electromatic Dream Machine” finds the science adventurer trapped in a dreamlike battle of wits with a disgruntled fired scientist. It’s fun, but not too memorable. Worth a look.

[Red 5, $2.75]
