Richard Vasseur Comic Reviews

These heroes all work well together as long as Molly keeps them all in line. She is a cute little girl who is not a little girl.

Sh'ri Valkyr the Thanagarian Commander who captured Adam seems to have some respect for him. Adam certainly has earned it. He is a husband and father willing to do whatever it takes to find his family and get them back.

Here though we see Aero-Girl come into her own. She is shown as a super-hero. Her dad would be proud.

Laura is inspiring as you follow her adventure. She can be a killer but chooses not to be. Laura is the best at what she does. But she doesn't have to do it.

The absurdity of some of the situations and characters makes this a great read.

The new Alpha Flight team members take a bit of getting used to they are not your traditional type heroes. Which does make for a nice change. An old man, a bar tender, a psychotic killer, a sap, and a guy with a really long name all led by a big hairy orange guy. It will make for interesting team dynamics as we see how they work together.

We do get a good Spider-Man fight. But Aunt May steals this issue. Spider-Man better hope she never turns evil he wouldn't stand a chance. We all know with her loving heart and soul that could never happen though. The art is beautiful. May is still a hot babe. MJ is hot too but May is just as hot if you don't believe me just ask Peter.

The art by John Romita Jr. is showing Spider-Man in all his agility. Loki is shown as more grandiose as befits a deity. Morwen is shown the same way to let you know she is a being with power. You know her plans to destroy the world are real. Poor Spidey he was the one that let her into our Universe. Now he just has to kick her back out. It won't be that easy.

This new updated look is different in some ways and the same in others. It does work though.

The backup story "The Great Lover" is from Archie Comics # 36, 1949. Very cute art in this story. Betty is drawn so lovely in her formal dress. Betty is wearing her war paint and on the hunt but her prey is oblivious to her intentions. Poor Betty and poor Archie.

The backup story "All Balled Up" is from Archie # 32, 1948. Archie has a way of things happening around him that would never happen with anyone else. It does make for fun and trouble. Nice retro style art from the time period.

This series is presented more realistically than the older Archie Comic titles.

Archie is involved in sports a lot and it does lead to many hilarious situations that you will not want to miss in these stories and the many more in this issue.

All these stories will have you appreciating just how great Betty really is.

Kevin Keller is a wonderful character and his introduction to the Archie Universe was a huge success.

Archie is a icon that will live on forever in our heart as we care and love the clumsy teenager who has won a place in our hearts.

This issue is filled with such wonderful stories and all are accompanied with great art in the Archie Comics tradition.

These stories and many more await you here. You will be thrilled and made to laugh as you read these wonderful stories filled with gorgeous art.

All these mysteries are fun and adventurous but not to daring. They are perfect for some light entertaining reading.

As you read this story you realize that Gareth as Chief of Security should be more aware of his surroundings. It is entertaining to see how much in the dark he is His job does require his to be observant so with him missing so much its fun. Plus it gets you wondering how long it will take for him to catch on

The Archon is a place that attracts creatures. Gareth at first fits right in and then he starts for no

The scenes at the end of this comic do sum up just how awful war is. War is about death. You can say anything else you want to but it all comes down to that. It is a powerful message and ending to this book.

Richard VasseurRichard Vasseur is a Canadian who has had a love of comic books his entire life. I started out as just a fan reading comics every chance I had. This evolved into writing reviews for a small newsletter which evolved into having my own column at Jazma Online and doing interviews. I also worked briefly as a columnist at Comic's Buyers Guide. Everyday I am involved with doing something comic book related and I love the hobby.

Charlotte and her willingness to jump into adventure give her a attitude that will make you like her and route for her.

If your new to gaming and want a heads up on some of the terms this is the book for you.

Two people have a hoverbike race. Why should we care about these people or anyone in this comic? We needed to know more about the characters so we would care about what they are doing. What are they doing should be explained some.

Batgirl and Nightwing are well drawn. It is always nice to see Batgirl drawn as not just another super hero in tights. Her costume is made for utility, to take a beating.

Something you almost never see happens this issue. Batman says he was wrong! Can you believe it. He admits Oracle was right and he was wrong. Wow it might be years before you see that again if ever.

So the two find Blockbusters body which was stolen. Is he alive or dead?

The Turtles are written and draw to perfection as they fit right in in Gotham. They are dark, mysterious and tough. They do also have a child like quality. Batman with his dark and foreboding attitude does steal the show.

The story never seems to become focused enough. It jumps around from one place to another.

You don't have any super-heroes with super powers in these pages and you don't need them. All the characters are after something and everybody has something someone else wants. Its not always about powers or the big fight sometimes its about maneuvering. And these players are masters at it.

RICH REVIEWS: Beautiful Beaa # 0By Richard Vasseur – Posted on September 27, 2015 Title: Beautiful Beaa # 0Publisher: Marky ComicsDrawn and Written by: Mark CardosoRating:Websites: https://www.facebook.com/marky.comics?fref=ts , http://www.oocities.org/soho/lofts/2991/Comments: Beautiful Beaa is a real life wrestler and this comic is based on her.The story has Beaa challenging for the men's title. The fight does include some nicely illustrated wrestling moves. Beaa is the good wrestler here and Ryan Swift the villain. At a real life match everyone would be cheering on Beaa.Grammar needed to be checked in this issue. A proof reader was needed.The backgrounds are to dark at times so the characters clothing will blend right in with it.The comic makes it easy to see the writer does like wrestling and from the poses drawn does have experience with it.The feel of being at a wrestling match is captured throughout the issue.

This is such an emotional issue and as you read and see the relationship between Veronica and Betty you know nothing will ever come between it. These two exemplify what true friendship is all about.

Lots of great Halloween themed stories in this issue plus lots more. It is always fun to pick up an Archie comic.

Betty Wicked is a wild magical ride that will leave you spellbound.

The concept is different and interesting it just needed to delivery more. Focusing on Bigfoot would have been better than on all the characters. Bigfoot is big and hairy, just not to scary.

The moth-vampires do make for a posing threat that are terrifying.

Bigfoot we learn nothing about. What does he think about his situation or does he even think? The comic needs more to it.

This comic does present a strong African-American who is a hero. Set in the 1930's we are treated to action and excitement. Arron is a man of honor in a world of thieves, liars and killers.

Peter and Harada do have a huge battle but it is not what you were expecting. It is much more. The results of it though do have a lasting effect on Earth.

This is a great comic for a younger audience and can as well entertain an older audience to. The Breadwinners are strange ducks.

The cover is eye catching with Cap and Falcon posing. Cap's big red, white and blue shield will certainly catch and hold your attention.

This story does have some hard action. It also has one amusing ending that will make you laugh. Classic Canuck does give us a look back at a true hero. The red and white have never looked so good.

The back-up story "Double Star Crossed" Written and lettered by Ed Brisson, illustrated and colored by Simon Roy. Captain Canuck has been captured by aliens. Nyro-Ka wants the Captain but what will he do with him now that he has him?

Captain Canuck provides us with a hero Canada can be proud to call her own.

This brief 16 page comic is a great introduction to Captain Paiute.

The meaning though of what is going on will have you imagining all sorts of things. This story will make you think.

The twists in this story keep you interested and just waiting to see what will happen next. The ending is unexpected and will totally blow you away.

There are some suspense building moments throughout this comic. Cyrus and his girl Iris are good characters.

Brother Buck if we knew more about him would be a lot better.

Chan the demon from Hell is given a different origin than usual on how it gets to Earth. The creature is illustrated as a nightmarish vile thing of evil.

The demons are all drawn evil looking and they will give you chills. They are well worth seeing.

David is a man of loyalty he stands out among the vampires. They act like his superior and in many ways they are. He though services them and still has a life. He is happy in his work. Plus he is now a legend as a Day Man.

Title:Deadeye: Begun In BloodPublisher: Creative Mind EnergyWritten by: Adrian F. WasselIllustrated by: Nathan C. GoodenLettered by: Deron BennettDesigned by: Jon AdamsPrice: $ 19.95 USRating:Website: http://creativemindenergy.com/Comments: The art style is like a yellow wash of color over the pages. The characters are drawn darkly making details hard to see.A bunch of not so good ole' boys in the old west have a woman captive. Now a mysterious stranger shows up with guns blazing. He is a killing fury. What does this stranger want with the woman?A one eyed man and a boy are traveling in the desert. Now these two end up on the trail of the mysterious stranger and woman. So its one mystery after an another mystery man.Next we meet the Colonel. He knows who the first mysterious man is. Its Four Pistol Pete.One eye is fast with his gun and as he get shown some unwanted attention we see just how good he really is.The ending is left open as there really is no ending. What about Four Pistol P

Aspects of Frankenstein the book are here but there are enough differences to hold you focused. Erika may be a monster but she has a heart of gold. You will love her and respect her. She is a beautiful creature.

This is one exciting fun filled comic with lots of gorgeous women. You will have a wild time here.

The message from Arming Sisters by Patty Stonefish is one that all women should embrace. She says it best its about knowing you are not a victim, but a warrior.

Dusty is one great character even though he is a plane you will think of him as a living being. He will win your heart.

This magazine handles a subject LGBT that is touchy. It is handled well

There is some nice clean looking art in it. Wolverine on the cover looks mean, wild and ready to throw down. But this series was built around Blink and she left more than several issues ago. The team needs her as its strong leader. The series is suffering without her.

Faith may not be your skinny super model type super-hero but who cares. Here is a super-hero to have faith in.

Who is this mysterious woman and what is she up to? You will definitely want to be here for issue two of this hard hitting western drama full of action and excitement. You will also love the hot sexy mystery woman.

This comic is off to a great start.

"The Big Fang Theory" Garfield loves to help others. His personality at heart is a kind and caring cat. Plus if it helps him not get pounded even better.

Garfield is one cool cat who has a heart of gold and a huge bottomless pit of a stomach.

The story is compelling. The narrative style works well. Its simple and easy to follow.

This recipient of the Gift gets to see her mysterious benefactor one more time. When he tells her he could have stopped the killings. Believe it or not she lets fly with a right to the jaw. You can not just see how mad she is you can feel it.

Godzilla is on a journey through Hell the questions are why and how?

Some really great art makes this comic worthwhile to pick up especially if your a fan of Godzilla and the monsters he battles.

Godzilla is the King of Monsters. He is also not just a dumb beast. He thinks and acts.

Godzilla is a force of nature. Not even Hell and all its demons can contain him. Godzilla has an indomitable will to survive.

The art is fantastic, Guy, Kilowog, Kyle, Hal and all the heroes are drawn larger than life. The cover has Hal back in his GL costume. He belongs in it. Hes not back yet but hes on his way. It will be great having the greatest Green Lantern back. Its about time.

Grumpy has an awful time at the Con. Pokey has a fantastic time. These two are opposites. Which makes them fun to observe. Great expressions on the cats faces.

The way tech and magic are combined here it is a great way to present the comic.

"Tales of Harrow County: The Bat House" One creepy looking house greets the reader here. This is only a one page story which does get right to the point, bats can be dangerous creatures. So stay away from them.

"Tales of Harrow County: The Hunter" Being a hunter in Harrow County is not like anywhere else. In this short wordless story you see having a gun is not enough. Terror lurks any and everywhere here.

"Tales of Harrow County: Daughters" This short tale really has no plot other than even if you have some horrible accidents happen to you you can still be happy.

"Tales of Harrow County: Mold" This short tale does not have much to it. It really does not make much sense. The only meaning I guess would be that even mold in Harrow County is weird.

The atmosphere set by the artwork is creepy/soreful/weird all of these and more. You will feel unsettles reading this comic. "Tales of Harrow County: Friends" This is one weird tale that shows such an imaginary in creating it. You will not see this one coming.

Amber Gail the informant is a very healthily drawn girl in her patriotic bikini. She'll make you stand at attention. The bodyguard is all in black leather and looks as hot as any gorgeous woman in a kinky black leather outfit would. Fanny's tight red dress will get your heart beating faster. Charles Fulp has delivered a fun and entertaining comic with gorgeous art from Craig and Norman. They make a great team.

The Crow King meanwhile has Stellar City just where he wants. What will he do with it now? Plus are the Hero Cats ready to face him/ Belle thinks she is. Her confidence is high.

The Hero Cats are a fun exciting team of cats who are more than just cats. The cats are drawn cute and cuddly so you will want to hug them and also you will want to follow their adventures.

Midnight does have a tough silent attitude that gives some mystery and a threatening atmosphere to him.

This comic book is offencive. Swearing, nudity, gays and a surprise so big. No not Jesus's thing. This will blow your mind.

A big huge fight is on the way. This issue just wets your appetite for it.

This issue sets up for the final issue and the birth of the Devil and Jesus's daughter. It should be something to see.

Huck's personality as a country boy is great to see. He is unassuming. He is a good boy.

The story has some mystery and it definitely has a way of drawing you in and making you like Huck. He is an all American boy that any parent would be proud of.

Your heart will melt at how much caring and love Huck has in his heart. None of his abilities go to his head. He stays simple and true to his helping nature, a true hero.

This hi-tech and magical adventure is off to a resounding start.

So we have a boy from a world of science on a world of magic. His robot protector is awesome. Have you ever wanted to see a Robot fight a dragon? Well than you are in the right place.

Where is the Hulk? We don't see him at all this issue. Last issue he was only on one page. Isn't this comic book supposed to be about a certain big green goliath? So where is he? It seems this comic is more about Bruce's love interests and him getting into bed. Is this a soap opera or a super-hero comic book? Where are the big heroic battles? I'd settle even for a small itsy bitsy one. The Hulk needs to dust off his knuckles and use them.

The art is nicely subdued and fits the atmosphere of the story. If you have ever wanted to look deeper into these mysterious people and not just their Royal Family you will enjoy this series.

After all the fun of these stories you also get a bonus one. "Phil & Tyrone meet Zombie Tramp" Zombie Tramp looks a bit weird er than usual with this art style. Zombie Tramp does have on some sexy pink lingerie. She does not find that much in the way of brains to sack on. The bunnies have a great time.

These bunnies are so strange and they are weird beyond measure. You will be offended and amused.

Mark getting injured while being a hero may lead into more. Mark Jagger is a complex man he just seems at times not to be.

This comic is written as if the writer has no idea who James Bond is.

The Storyteller is such a great character as he presents the story. He draws you in and keeps you there.

The storyteller an old man adds some fun to the beginning and ending of this comic. His dog seems to always have something to add as well.

The art is pasty. It lacks definition. It also has an almost cartoon appearance to it. The art does grow on you as you read more of the comic.

Ok the shape shifting alien has decided with all the violence it sees on Earth we want to kill our selves and it is going to help. Its to bad it didn't decide to help by trying to help people get along better. Can you imagine a world where everyone tries to get along and help each other? That would sure make for a boring comic. So now the JLA has to go after the alien who isn't really evil hes just trying to help. It has just not learned that we want to survive at all costs. Even with all the violence we know life is precious. Now the JLA has to stop the alien or convince it to stop.

The art shows off their evil malicious nature to perfection. Owlman we see torturing Johnny Quick just because he interfered with Owlman killing others.

We end this tale with Superman and the Manhunter gazing down on the Earth. They may be aliens here but it is their home now.

George Perez was the perfect choice as artist. His drawing of all the heroes and villians as they fought is a battle to end all battles. It is magnificantly drawn.

These tales are made to chill and frighten you to the bottom of your soul and they do.

The action really heats up near the end. Its gets as hot as Hell. Does good always triumph over evil? As you read this comic you will not be so sure.

The ending here presents a gorgeous illustration that will leave you breathless.

This is a great introductory issue. The blending of sci-fi and super-hero action works well.

Josie and friends do have fun and get scared a lot in these tales that are sure to frighten and entertain you.

Poor Johnny Thunderbolt has his Thunderbolt stolen. Johnny's anguish is heartbreaking. It is well drawn and written. He feels without it he can no longer be in the JSA. Of course hes wrong. He is and always will be a valuable member.

It is always nice to see Dredd in action with his gun blasting. His attitude is right on.

The backup story is from Jughead # 1 (1949) with art by Samm Schwartz. "Experiment Perilous!" Jughead gets involved in a rare experiment. It does not have good results.

"Mistaken Identity" Starring Archie's Pal Jughead in a classic tale. Jughead has a Uncle Herman. His uncle is as strange and weird as he is.

"The Missing Links" Another classic tale from 1950. Jughead's ancestors were all like him. It is always entertaining to learn about Jughead's ancestors.

Jughead gets into a fix and than has the Jughead luck to get out of it. The art style is classic as well and it is different having only Jughead from the gang in a story. It is funny though how the story ends.

The main character is Banning. Now why should we care about him? He does have potential though to become a interesting character and a powerful superhuman.

The story there is no real explanation to it. Why does this Banner have these abilities? What does he plan to do with them? Who is that mysterious guy following him? Who are the people Banner is with? So many questions and so little answers

The issue starts off with lots of damage and people dead but does not explain how it happened. There is some mysterious organization behind it that we learn nothing about. It would be nice to know something about them.

The whole comic needs more happening and more information.

This is a fun little adventure that is starting to increase in excitement.

Klaus is a man who cares about children. He wants them to have fun and play with toys. Things do seem to start working out for him and the Yuletime magic of the season helps.

This is not how you picture Santa Claus and Klaus is not him. Klaus is though a representation of how the stories of Santa may have started. Or maybe he is just something completely separate. Either way Klaus is a entertaining read with some good art.

Not everything is fully and clearly explained. The basic story though is easy to follow. Monster robot escaped and is destroying and killing but no one knows how to stop it.

When the police broke the door in they also let sunlight in destrying the Shadow Creature. Kolchak is escorted to the airport after "agreeing" to turn over all pictures and notes on the CCD. In return they don't press charges of kidnapping. The artwork fits the story and characters. Its kind of frumpy. If anyone actually doesn't remember Kolchak, it was a cult TV show called Nightstalker featuring a reporter who investigated bizarre and weird stories, like this plant and shadow creature one.

Sander and Killian are both finding they have similarities. They just might not be that far apart in their beliefs. Which makes for interesting situations.

The artwork is great showing off the city designs and the ships in it. The people are portrayed in a style that is eye catching.

The pieces are all moving across the board. Killian has his pan and so does Sander. Armies are ready to move and people are dying. A revolution has started and the city will suffer for it. No one wins but who will end up ruling is the question.

The characters are great here and well illustrated. The scenery is majestic. The characters are all so well defined. You feel you know them.

All the characters on Chima provide fun and excitement for all readers of any age to enjoy.

The Lumberjanes are always doing what is right. So they are going to mend a broken friendship. Of course it does have to have a weird side to it so mermaids and sea serpents appear.

You will also wonder at Moly and Mal's relationship. Does Molly want them to be more than just friends?

The Lumberjanes all five of them are focused on helping Seafarin' Karen. Things may at first seem cut and dried but perhaps they are not. The story has you wondering are there any villains in this story?

The story could have used more excitement. More happening would have made sense. A lot of the time is spent talking and standing around.

It is always a pleasure to watch the Lumberjanes in action.

Ripley, Mal, Molly, April and Jo are the best of friends and they have some pretty amazing and strange adventures. This is no ordinary girls night out. These girls rock!

"Lazarus" Jesus has brought back Lazarus from the dead. For Jesus he is revered but for Lazarus things are different. Lazarus finds things are now hard for him. He is an outcast. Yes he is alive again but he has lost his life. You cannot help but feel sorry for him.

The message at the end of this comic about women in comic creation and cosplayers is an important one. They deserve respect.

The stories do capture the spirit of Christmas. The art is good throughout. The cover is fantastic. Spidey swinging with a Christmas background in behind.

This issue is full of nudity, sex and swearing, plus violence.

University Hospital Evans County, Pennsylvania a nurse is telling a story from her childhood. She and others are also dealing with the dead rising at this hospital. The woman's story is more interesting than what is going on around her in the hospital.

Mega Man you do get the feeling that he is so much more than just a robot. He does come across as almost human. A little boy just doing the right thing.

There was no Mega man in this issue nor was he needed. Proto Man did provide lots of dramatic moments.

The issue does not have much of a story other than to say goodbye to the fans as the comic ends.

The world below is full of wonders that we will get to explore in all the comics coming out from Aspen MLT.

The Power Rangers are drawn in full out action poses as the Putties attack. The Megazord and Dragonzord battle Goldar it looks as if evil is out numbered today. Nice setup for the battle to come.

The story is too simple. It needed some more characterization. It needed more substance in the plot. The artist did not show off the assets of Emma very well. A few breast shots, no really good poses.

Looking through the original graphics I can see Misplaced has gone through some changes. I think this cute little girl is going to steal the readers hearts and anyone that gets in her way better watch out.

There is a big mystery here that we want to know. What is the purpose of this school?

There are more mysteries here as well. What was with all the time jumping scenes? Why the rumbling on the school grounds? More mysteries to add to all the ones still in existence, it would be nice to get some answers.

The art is great. The Yeti looks cool in a bathrobe. Giselle is cute in fur. The wintery mountain scenery is very well drawn.

These are cartoons done like a movie poster for movies that will never be made.

Octobriana is illustrated in beautiful poses that show off her body. Nice action poses as she fights as well. The robot she battles is simple in design but effective. Octobriana is a hero with a rough edge she drinks and enjoys sex. She can and does fight though for communism.

The art is using too much black in it. These are super-heroes they should be in the light and drawn that way. Jade is a shining Green Lantern but she is kept in the darkness, why?

If you think you have had nightmares before wait till you see Oxymoron.

This issue really leaves no doubt that Oxymoron is one sick SOB. You will be wishing you could kill him yourself by the end of this issue.

The killing never stops here and the nightmare continues on. Oxymoron will give you nightmares as well. This guy is plain crazy.

The Pale Man and Subject K are both characters of interest. You will tune in to find out what they do next.

Snoopy becomes a pelican. Well to find out how you will have to read the story.

It is great to see Schroeder and Marcie featured in these two stories rather than Charlie Brown or Snoopy. It is a nice change.

Peanuts always has such great characters.

The 65th anniversary of Peanuts is celebrated by so many talented people paying their respects to a man Charles Schulz who truly deserves all the accolades he gets. He was

This is a new super-hero one who is a common man and who stands for whats right. Lucas is easy to identify with.

The best part about this comic is Lucas he is so likable.; He is a ordinary guy doing the extraordinary.

This comic is amazing in how it portrays Lucas and other super-heroes. You are brought into their lives and get to see them as people not just super-heroes but as real people.

This was a pretty good team-up. Toronto, Ontario, Canada certainly does have some weird super-heroes.

Mark though always steals the show even though at times he seems like a background character due to his quiet attitude. It is impossible not to like Mark and not to root for him.

Now we see a new character introduced she is a beauty. She is also a bloody mess. She looks calm and acts it but you just know this is the calm before the storm.

The story keeps adding more to it. So it keeps you interested and keeps drawing you in.

So the two Princesses are off on another adventure. Adrienne still has more sisters to save.

This comic is perfect to help any young girl feel good about themselves, but anyone can and will enjoy it. A true Princesses power is within her.

Captain Raven is almost ready to hit the high seas and start on one adventure that is sure to thrill and chill.

This issue has something you do not usually see a Pirate ship with an all female crew. Raven, Ximena, Jayla, Sunshine and Muscles are all about to start out on the greatest adventure of their lives. The next series of Raven and her pir

Raven is a different sort of Pirate Captain and that just may not be a bad thing at all.

The puppets/humans now go about fitting in with who they now are. Things do seem to be going smoothly for them. Well maybe not completely as something is up. A couple of the puppet bodies are still active even without their souls. Someone is controlling them and killing with them.

The illustrations of the dols all look great but Blade does stand out. The doll of him is frightening. It makes you think could this really happen? The next time you see a puppet you might just look at it differently.

The art is great as it shows these puppets who are portrayed almost as the good guys here. Yet they do still maintain their evil appeal.

The life size doll Camille which may or may not be a doll is so cute in a evil crazy way. She is a great new addition to the world of living puppets.

The life size doll Camille which may or may not be a doll is so cute in a evil crazy way. She is a great new addition to the world of living puppets.

Camille and Dr. Jenn how are these two connected? Both are beautiful and insane.

Little puppets come to life killing people is a terrifying concept sure to make you fearful.

The ending to this story well is not at all what you would expect. It does come to an end just like most horror movies do.

The art needs lots of work here.

This comic is a horror, suspense filled tale with a beautiful girl at the heart of it.

These stories do inform us of what can happen when a super-hero gets to old to be a super-hero or just does not want to be one anymore. They can be sad but they also show a time when the heroes, the Crusaders were super-heroes of the highest order.

Rocket Girl is filled with excitement. This girl is a jetpack of super fuel action ready to explode off the page at you.

The Rogues adventures are off beat in a sword and sorcery world where life and death are in equal supply.

These stories and the many more in this issue are sure to cast a magical spell over you. Sabrina is

Sam Hill is a noir style detective. He is fun to watch as he goes about solving a case.

Sanjay and Craig are to strange characters. You might not know what to make of them but they do not care. So just have fun reading and looking at them.

Great characters with a fun exciting story make for a wonderfully presented comic.

Scarlett, Trotter and Frank do enjoy each other's company. They are movie stars and he is a hermit yet they get along great.

The comedy interplay between Jen and her boss is amusing. Her boss ordering her around when she could crush her like a bug.

Shianndrea has her power awakened. She cuts loose and ninjas drop like flies. We also get to see the little girl she still is as her emotions come to light. Shianndrea is powerful but still a girl.

The art is some of the best you can find anywhere. Arwyn is about the most perfectly drawn female in comics.

You get a preview of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in this issue. The new spy thriller comic looks like it will be filled with action and pretty girls. Plus one stuck up self centered sexist super spy. You are going to love to hate this guy.

The best part was in the first story with Sally and Bunnie being drawn so beautifully. Bunnie looks amazing here.

The best part of this issue is Were-Sonic yes he does look awesome and is drawn that way.

The whole overall issue though is mostly talk and quite boring. No real character development, not much action so it needed more happening in it.

The Second Devourer was shown but to briefly. This thing is a huge frightening nightmare unleashed on Silver's world. Silver is shown as a hero in that he does not back down, he is not afraid and will fight this thing.

The battle scenes are action packed. Silver comes across as a character who can stand on his own.

The colors are splendid. The drawings show us that Thaddeus is well muscled. The aliens look various. They took some thought to come up with.

The art is beautifully rendered and filled in with soft lush colors.

Overall though the Star Trek and Green Lantern universes do not seem to mesh well

With Nekron as in this different universe the Lanterns and Captain Kirk and his crew are i for a challenge. Just wait til you see who Nekron recruits into his army first. You will be blow away.

The art showing the Lanterns is well done. They are magnificent looking. The Enterprise is a beauty and drawn to show it off.

It is becoming comfortable to see the Enterprise crew and Green Lanterns working together as one unit.

If you love a good psychological thriller that will get you wondering is this all real or imagined and

The comic is like an elseworld tale in many aspects except it isn't one. It takes place in the regular DC Universe.

The characters and the way they are used makes this story line a thing of beauty.

This comic will give you hope for the human race. Yes it can win over any odds or at the very least go down fighting.

This is a perfect ending to this comic series. Gorgeous art and one well told story make this a must read series.

Mary is a great Bearer as she is drawn beautifully and her attitude is perfect. She is a Bearer you will love.

The Trinity are gathered Red Sonja, Vampirella and Dejah Thoris along with a small army of women. Things are moving towards the final confrontation.

The fighting has increased and things are nearing their end. The women are such fierce fighters. Prince Charming has three beautiful women coming for him and they will not be charmed.

The story as it ends is a let down. It ends with almost no action, no big fight scene. The ending to put it mildly is boring.

"The Origin of The Incredible Conduit" is written & drawn by Tony Gray with colors by Kristen Warren. This is a great short story to update you on Conduit's origin. It is imaginative and unique.

The origin of the Amorphous-One well there is not much to this tale. He gets his powers and is not happy with the results.

The art looks great all the girls are beautiful if a little - make that a lot - overly endowed.

The other villain Skorch is illustrated beautifully. He looks like death coming.

Greg finds out that things are not always as they seem. His being a trusting soul leads him into trouble. He is at heart a hero and you know he will do the right thing. Greg is a great character that you will find yourself routing for.

The Black Hood wants to right wrongs. He is a dark force for good. Fighting crime is never easy. Greg is on a hard road and the Black Hood may or may not help.

The character of the Black Hood fighting crime is still a great idea it just needs to be handled better.

Richard VasseurRichard Vasseur is a Canadian who has had a love of comic books his entire life. I started out as just a fan reading comics every chance I had. This evolved into writing reviews for a small newsletter which evolved into having my own column at Jazma Online and doing interviews. I also worked briefly as a columnist at Comic's Buyers Guide. Everyday I am involved with doing something comic book related and I love the hobby.

The art is exceptionally dark making it hard to make out details. It is so dark it makes it hard to follow what is going on.

Danny now though does show he has the heart of a hero. Danny is a great character and just needs more development. It will be great to see where the Bug goes from here.

The characters and the art both show great potential. They need to be more focused. The story should offer more about exactly what is going on. The characters just need to be fleshed out more.

The throwing disc is a great touch and looks awesome in the illustration. Comic Bug what it takes as a character he just needs to be handled better.

This issue does introduce a new villain and his flunkies. The insect motif is kept which fits the comic. The leader is shown in a nice full page panel that screams this guy is evil.

The Insect Society are a cool idea that should be expanded upon.

All the character could use some fleshing out. Let us know who they are and why they are doing what they are doing.

The use of green coloring to show the chemicals in the air inside the plant is a great touch. The effect is a nice visual sight.The Termite face has some great expressions to it. He does make a great villain. He is one you could both hate and love.

The preview of "Hunter Killer" is awesome as one assassin takes on another assassin. The fight is fast and furious but ultimately no contest. The art shows off both assassins and their different styles wonderfully.

The whole comic comes across as just being there. It needed more to it.

The comic is done before it seems to have started and not all that much occurs. The characters are there but why should we the reader care.

Than the tide of battle takes a most unexpected turn. You will definitely want to be here for issue two of this new explosive series.

This is one weird and frightening comic that will have you looking closely at the next cookie you go to eat and wondering will it eat you.

The Hangman is a powerful frightening figure. His noose will instill fear. When you are hanging at the end of a noose you will always be afraid. Death is coming for those in the noose.

Lots of drama in this story and also some mystery. The story does get confusing as it goes on. Edana though to get the estate has to stay there and that may prove deadly for her being a Fortunato.

The story flows along smoothly and slowly draws you in. The old man is a character you easily come to like with his gruff attitude that is charming. It gets you interested in what is going on and wanting to know more. You will be looking forward to seeing what is coming next.

The backup story is "The Rivet Gang, Part 1" The story starts out with Cliff and Betty having fun at a party. Something is stolen and the Rocketeer goes into action. The story is told all through writing no art. It is a thrilling start here and will be continued next issue.

The more you read and see of Victoria the more you start to feel awe at her. She is one unique individual that is sure to make an impact.

This story is so hard to follow. The main character is talking to others but what exactly is it about?

Isaac and what he may become will have you waiting to find out.

Change is coming and things do not look good at all. Who will survive this culling?

This issue needs a more solid storyline running throughout it.

This is a perfect retelling and re-imagining of the Shakespearian play. The personalities of the witches are wonderful contrasts that you will follow along enjoying each word they speak to each other. The art is a delight it is different than the usual making it stand out. Plus you also get a feel for the rich ancestry of Scotland.

These witches may help decide the fate of their country but fate decides her own fate.

The three witches are no more. Smertae wants nothing to do with the other two. The art on her is so beautifully done on her with the use of whites and light blues.

Addison the cute little girl is gone and in her place is something else.

Things really need to be explained a whole lot better. Other than the 'ghosts' there does not seem to be any magic in this comic.

The story is hard to follow, nothing is fully explained. The story should be focused. Jack Deth has a great character the little we see of it.

Creasy is a great character but she needs to be used right. She comes across as intelligent. The art shows she is beautiful. Some mystery is ok but we really do need to know more about her and what her purpose is.

The Trees are a threat and we need to see them being investigated more.

These is a great collecting of tales that will have you thinking.

This is a great collection of stories that draws you into them. They make you think.

This story is about a mother and daughter two of them. One resents her daughter and her daughter loves her child. She becomes the better mother. There some strong emotions presented here.

This issue is a good introduction to the character and leaves some mystery for future issues.

Combining a poisonous girl, a sorcerous, a werewolf, Frankenstein's monster and a vampire into one group is a great idea.

Joe being the new super-hero in town needs one thing. An arch nemesis and a mysterious armored figure certainly looks the part. How will Joe handle facing his first super villain? Tune in to find out.

Richard the villain though steals this issue. He is not really evil. He also has a certain charm to him that you will find endearing.

This first issue is a great start to the series. The Captain makes for such a outstanding character.

Nate is learning as he goes. What we get to see and feel through these pages is him enjoying part of living again. It feels wonderful. This comic even includes a recipe that looks simply delicious. Take a big bite of this comic and enjoy.

The story though is something else. It is moving with lots of emotion. This is not about fighting it is about feelings. Sara deserved a encounter like this one.

What will become of the Witchblade and its next Bearer if there is one? We will just have to wait and see.

Logan is drawn so short. He is almost a midget. He is a runt but not this much. If he keeps shrinking pretty soon you will not be able to see him. The artwork does show him as being rough, hairy and wild which fits him to a T. And what happened to his trade mark hair cut?

Logan goes through these bad guys as if they don't exist he needs a challenge. He needs to face someone that can go toe to toe with him.

The art style portrays Logan as a tough and gritty little runt. Which is perfect for him. Now we just need a super villain to show up - say like Sabretooth!

The fourth story has Wonder Girl telling a bed time story. Cassie is cute. You get some good pin-ups. Then last but not least is Steve Rude's pin-up. This is a work of art. Wonder Woman is just enjoying an outdoor garden market in the country. She is kneeling playing with kittens with kids around her. This expresses the amazons' true nature. One of caring and love.

All these stories and more await you inside this issue. Archie is the greatest teen ever and he has some of the best adventures of anyone.

These stories and many more will put you in the Christmas mood and ready to enjoy the holidays.

Gilad the Eternal Warrior is shown here more as a family man. The warrior we see only briefly. We need to see the warrior step up and fight. Gilad does have a well illustrated and used battle axe. He can swing and cleave with it so you see how skilled he is in battle.

This comic looks at things from a realistic point of view. If this situation really existed this is how this brother would really act and other people as well. It is not about big zombie battles. It is just about staying alive and what you have to do to do so.

The man is just a man trying to survivor. You might begin to feel for him and see things as he does.

Than the you know what hits the fan. It looks like the KKK are in town. Zombie Tramp is pissed off and they are close by. Wonder who is going to pay for disturbing her spa time. Next issue its the KKK vs Zombie Tramp.

Zombie tramp is a red bikini with a red handled chainsaw is a sight you want to see. She knows what to do and does it and has so much fun doing it.

Samuel kills Zombie Tramp not once but twice. Now Janey is not ready to stay dead. She is ready to fight though so Samuel may be a psychotic killer but this time he faces a zombie who is more than a zombie. Things are going to get gorier next issue as this continues.

Seeing Zombie Tramp take a bite out of Bea's head was a bit gross. It did though fit her character. Zombie Tramp is one great horror female that is becoming iconic.

There is some nice scenes of gore as Zombie Tramp starts getting even for Bea.

This is a watered down version of previous issues. It needed more action, more gore, more sex, more everything.

We see here Zombie Tramp is still a caring individual. She may be a monster but she can still be a nice one. This story is a little different than her regular comic series and it turned out quit good.

Zombie Tramp does hate Christmas and bad Santas as well. Well actually she does like Santas they taste delicious. Yummy.
