Comic & Manga Reviews
The dramatic adventures of the first volume teased a bigger bad working behind the scenes, and it looks like Birds of Prey Vol. 2 continues to carry that plot. Given that our Barbara Gordon is the first target, it’s hard not to feel a bit invested in how things turn out.
DC continues creating graphic novels with a younger focus on Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed. Here, we're provided with another glimpse at an origin story for Diana, yet it's nothing like we've seen before.
So, obviously, I’ve been into the whole “Absolute Universe” from the moment it was announced. I loved the idea of taking classic DC Heroes (and hopefully, villains) and turning the stories on their heads. Having read most of what’s currently out there, Wonder Woman’s take is my favorite (so far).
Oh man, I am so happy that Birds of Prey is back in action! Honestly, I don’t even care that the team members have changed (since the last time I read it); I’m just happy for more chaotic fun.
Harley Quinn’s chaos never gets old. Well, that’s probably not true. I’m sure I’d find her character very tiring if I knew her in real life. But I don’t! So I enjoy the strange brand of chaos Harley’s known for in Harley Quinn Vol. 1.
Oh wow. Catwoman: Lonely City is probably one of the better alternate timeline series I've read recently. It's dark and unafraid to play with characters and possibilities – precisely what we need.
Kate Kane (Batwoman) is one of my favorites of the Bat characters. So, obviously, I love reading her series. I think this is my second or third time reading through it all – but it's been a bit, so now it seems right. Plus, I apparently never reviewed them, so there's that.
I'm pretty sure I've heard about The Sandman my whole life (I just checked, and yep – the series is older than I am). Despite this, I've been REALLY bad and never read it. I've always meant to, but you know how life is.
Green Lantern Sojourner "Jo" Mullein is unlike the other Lanterns. She holds a different sort of ring. Yet her mission is the same. She's been sent off to a distant planet to protect the City Enduring – complete with 20 billion people and several alien races.
Fans of the gen:LOCK TV series will be thrilled to discover that our beloved characters are continuing their quest in comic form. No, it's not quite the same thing. But gen:LOCK #2 is just as action-packed as we could have ever hoped for, and that almost makes up for it.
