G’nort’s Swimsuit Edition

Despite the title, G’nort’s Swimsuit Edition is not a collection of G’nort in swimwear (although the Green Lantern from the planet G’newt is the centerfold for the issue). The one-shot is made up of mostly art from various artists giving us a wide assortment of DC heroes and villains in beach and swimsuit poses. Attempting to add a bit more substances, two short stories are thrown in as well.

The Brave and the Bold #166

Released on or around this date 46 years ago, Throwback Tuesday takes us back to The Brave and the Bold #166 which offered fans a team-up between Batman and Black Canary. When I say team-up, Batman carries the bulk of the issue here headed to Star City after dealing with a prison break in which the Penguin escaped and is out for revenge against those who sent him to prison. And he’s pretty successful as the villain kills several people before he’s apprehended.

Green Arrow #2

The second issue doesn’t attempt to make sense or shed light on events of the first issue. However, we do see what Oliver Queen has been up to since being stranded on an alien world (his basic street-level heroics taking on space mobsters and the like) and Cheshire Cat joins in on his latest run-in with a paid enforcer to take Ollie down. Our hero remains cryptic about what exactly is pulling his family apart as well as his unwillingness to try and fight his way back to them. This unnecessarily enforced enigmatic view on his existence could get old quick.

Shadow War Zone #1

Part of the current Shadow War crossover, Shadow War Zone #1 is an overpriced issue will filler back-up stories in an attempt to justify its $6 cover price. They don’t. The main storyline involves Black Canary setting out to find Deathstroke but instead running into one of Talia al Ghul‘s assassins who wants Canary’s help in hunting down and killing the mercenary and isn’t willing to take no for an answer. There’s not too much of interest about the unfortunately named Angel Breaker other than that she gets the upper-hand on Dinah on multiple occasions.
