Making Room for a new King of Sling 0

Albeit, a little late, the newest issue of Scarlet Spider has made its way out of my pull box and signs point North for this title in many ways. First, the cover for this issue is exceptionally catching. Stegman and Gracia present a great angle for Scarlet Spider that really isn't too typical of a plain Spider-Man book, despite them being perfectly safe had they chosen to do so. Body language is important in a spin-off book that could dangerously just be a copy of the forerunner. The cover is co...

Strong and Consistent 0

I have been waiting a while to do a review of "Scarlet Spider" by Chris Yost to get a good overview of how this title will stack up a few issues in. Overall, Scarlet Spider has been really enjoyable for a plethora of reasons. The first few issues greatly highlighted Kaine in this title, as something unique and separate from a Spider-man spin-off.As far as the artwork goes, both artists Ryan Stegman (issues 1-4) and Neil Edwards (issue 5) do something really special with the newly costumed Scarle...

...You can't escape this issue 0

Nightwing issue 3 by Kyle Higgins deepens the plot in the newly spun story of Dick Grayson, post-Batman run. The first two issues were mostly spent giving the readers an idea of what kind of book this will be in both story and artwork. The set up is solid. What better way to return Grayson to his old persona than to retrace his roots in life. It's an intriguing idea that in contrast to Bruce's life of being cemented in Gotham as his life grinds to a halt, Grayson's past marches forward without h...

Indeed there are dark secrets down here 0

Picking up where the last issue left off, the relationship and history regarding Becky and her adopted father gets a little bit more closure. All in all, the character heroine has come a long way from being completely dumfounded by her fathers murder to obtain the sixth gun and thrown into this story of Old Western mysticism. More is seen on Gord's side as he explores the catacombs of the mansion and subsequently, his own past.One of the nice things about this issue is that it takes a few differ...

Revisiting the South 0

Bound part 4, expands on the general world and characters that the now 15 issue series encompasses.There are some great things going on in this issue that are highly worth mentioning. The first being Gord Cantrell, an ally of the series more developed characters like Drake and Becky. Last we saw Gord was before the locomotive trip from hell as he set off to learn the secrets of the magic book he located regarding "the six".Ever since his introduction, Gord has always seemed to be a fairly promin...

The tale of Asher Cobb 0

Bound part 3 takes a good stop to catch the story arcs breath. Last issue left off with little to no information about the gargantuan mummy, Asher Cobb except that he was big, bandaged, and bad-ass. It was difficult to tell if this character had any actual relevance to the overall story let alone this particular story arc but issue 14 of "The Sixth Gun" graciously answers that question.   The issue is guest drawn by Tyler Crook (Petrograd, B.P.R.D) and utilizes a thinner style of penciling than ...

Playfully Enjoyable 0

Just when I had nearly given up on having a somewhat coherent Deadpool story, "Wade Wilson's War" made it into my pull box. Granted, the only coherent thing about this book is that Wade spends the whole story in a flashback or a courtroom but Deadpool books tend to hop easily from one scene to another so some regularity was nice. This small collection is a combination of action, gratuitous violence, and more to the point, enjoyable comedy. I originally picked this up in their individual issues f...

Three Words, Big Friggin' Mummy 0

Bound, Part 2 makes a statement about this series that is pleasantly grotesque. That statement is, there are no limits or categories to undead minions in the West, because in walks the easily 11 foot-tall mummy of Asher Cobb. Who is Asher Cobb? I have no idea, but as it seems with most supernatural occurrence and remarkably dangerous figures in this series, Drake Sinclair knows. If he wasn't so scarily misplaced in this old-West genre, I'd say Asher mummy was just sort of silly but instead, it's...

Finale of Industrial Revolution 0

The book opens up with Blight digging his radioactive fingernails into Batman's forehead. The fated reuniting of Terry McGinnis and the man behind his fathers murder, Derek Powers comes to a head in this issue. At first the issue appears to start off at this arcs climax and features Blight's cancer-inducing powers taking a tole on Batman as Powers verbally berates and blames him for his second job as a glow stick but it continues on to be a bit choppy.   The beat-down is pretty brutal until it e...

The Sixth Gun Continues to Deliver 3

Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt consistently provide a fresh adventure mostly free of genre cliches. Panels and pages transition remarkably well throughout this issue as Drake Sinclair and Becky Montcrief  transport five  of the six guns in hopes of learning more about them  from the mysterious "Sword of Abraham" organization. The story keeps fresh by providing enough characters that are vaguely linked by a supernatural web  of creepy Cirque du Freak magic.   The plot blooms out of the last story ar...
