Through big action, character moments, humour and even politics, Brian Michael Bendis and an array of wonderful artists give the series a solid start. Working as a great introduction to the team and its members, this release is a great place to start for those interested in this galactic team.
In 1988 Alan Moore and Brian Bolland created a story that focused on The Joker, going into his origins and exploring his relationship with Batman. With Moore’s unnerving script, in addition to Bolland’s fantastic art, Batman: The Killing Joke is not an easy read. But it is rewarding.
In Lee Bermejo’s Batman: Noël, the artist-turned-writer gives a respectful tribute to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, casting an alternate look at the Caped Crusader as a Scrooge-esque figure.
Writers Al Ewing and Rob Williams, along with artist Simon Fraser, bring a series that is true to the Matt Smith rendition of Doctor Who while bringing their own personal touches. Whovians will be very happy with Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #1, which is full of touching moments, humour and a new companion. And for those who are still unsure I have included a preview.
I review Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor #1, which continues stories starring the David Tennant portray of the character. Whovians wont be disappointed by this début issue from Nick Abadzis, Elena Casagrande and Titan Comics. And for those who are still unsure there is also a preview.
I review Death Sentence TPB, which follows those infected by a virus that gives you super powers but will also kill you in six months. With this concept, Montynero and Mike Dowling shows the path of three infected individuals and how they deal with this through sex, drugs and violence.
The Private Eye, the new comic book series by Brian K Vaughn and Marcos Martin, is a science fiction noir story. I generally don’t do many reviews but I thought it was worth it for this gem.
