America's Got Powers #1 |

|
|
Americas Got Powers also has this gladiator feel to it as there can be only one left standing. The wearing of stars, the fear of the stoners-as the super powered teens are called-and the mention of camps alludes a little bit to the treatment of Jews during World War II. This book was excellent, refreshing, and exciting. I look forward to the second issue which will be released next month May 16th.

Reviewer's Comments:Mining is a dangerous job but when you combine mining in outer space, add pirates and weird alien creatures into the mix, you end up an excellent sci-fi adventure about the deadliest job in the galaxy in the new graphic novel Deadly Harvest.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Prequel #4 |

Reviewer's Comments: While youre awaiting the theatrical release of G.I. Joe Retaliation on June 29th, fans can continue reading the prequel comics for the film. This book finds the team-especially Roadblock (played by Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock) and Snake Eyes (played by Ray Park)-in a rock and a hard place. Cobra has access codes to a secret facility, and Roadblock and Snake Eyes are dealing with Storm Shadows ninjas.Unless youve been reading the prequel series, you may find yourself a little lost as to whats been goin on. However, writer John Barber does a great job of bring readers into this story which is well-paced. The action is excellent and Salvador Navarros art is strong and fluid.I enjoyed the comic and I am looking forward to the movie.

Reviewer's Comments:Ice Age is a wonderful funny film series and theres to be another film on its way to theaters in July. While youre waiting for the next film installment, you can read this Ice Age comic book which is just as funny and entertaining.I found this comic to be really good, its enjoyable not only for kids but for grownups as well. Caleb Monroe does an excellent job of letting the story run smoothly. I like how the main story is interrupted at the right moments by Scrat the squirrels quest to obtain his precious acorn with painful but hilarious results. Shelli Parolines artwork is great, I love the brightness of each panel.Ice Age is an enjoyable book and I hope there are more books to come before the next film.

Reviewer's Comments:I enjoy watching reruns of The Lone Ranger series on TV, but Ive never read any the Ranger or Tontos adventures in the comics until now, and boy, have I been missing out.Issue five in this new volume of Lone Ranger stories finds our Ranger literally at deaths door thanks in part to the town of Utopias maniacal leader Marshal Dorsey and Tonto racing to get to him in time using the quickest and also deadliest means to do so.The story is written well, Ande Parks does an excellent job. There is suspense, drama, action, all leading to a cliffhanger conclusion. Esteve Polls illustrations are wonderful, especially the action sequences. One in particular, involves Tonto making a huge entrance. The scene is visually powerful and captures the action magnificently.The Lone Ranger is on a roll and readers will want to ride into the night with this series.

Solid State Tank Girl #1 |
May 18, 2013

Originally created by Martin and one half of the critically-acclaimed virtual band Gorillaz, Jamie Hewlett, this series has Martin teaming up with newcomer artist Cadwell who does an excellent job illustrating Tank Girl. His art reminds me at times of a psychedelic meets punk art form and it meshes well with Martin's maddening, and extraordinary scripting. There are times when what's going on might not make any logical sense, but that's the point. Tank Girl makes sense in its bizarre and surreal way. This is a comic that readers who are looking for the unique, strange and excellent should pick up.

Writer Brian Lynch did an excellent job getting readers into the mind of the turtles' fearless leader. The art in my humble opinion was okay. I enjoyed the action scenes throughout-even though Leo was getting his butt kicked-but I didn't like Ross Campbell's depiction of Leonardo. It such a different contrast to the way the other turtles have been illustrated in the micro series. Overall this was a good book and the micro series is still going strong.

Now back in the present, Splinter decides that he must take the life of his enemy Shredder and the issue ends with a showdown that will proceed into the main storyline in issue #12So far, this was my favorite out of all the micro series stories. It was a great read to get into the mind of Master Splinter and learn more about him. Usually the focus is on his sons so this was a great story to learn more about the turtles teacher. Burnhams writing was excellent and Charles Paul Wilson IIIs artwork was great. Readers should pick this one up right away.

Reviewer's Comments:THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE BOOK 1: “HELLDIVER” is an new take on the Apocalypse story. The main character Adam Cahill is an educated Rabbi, a strong family man, and a deadly warrior who is a direct descendant of King Solomon and is now tasked with protecting two of the seven seals that contain the Horsemen in hell. He also must find three other individuals who will help him fight against Nicolatian Cult, whose primary goal is to obtain the seven Seals of Solomon and initiate the Apocalypse.The book is visually packed full of action and violence and is beautifully disturbing. Artist Simon Bisley does a great job with his illustrations which convey emotion and chaotic violence in an excellent way. Writers Michael Mendheim, Mike Kennedy, and Sean Jaffe do a great job of pacing the story with a chaotic tempo that keeps the reader from getting lost and still be invested in the story.For some readers, this book might be too gory and the way the women

Garth Ennis (The Punisher) sets the story back in its original setting the 1930's. The story had the feel of an Indian Jones adventure (the original film) with all of the action that occurs up in the sky. Speaking of the sky, Ennis and artist Aaron Campbell visually take readers for a loop with the opening splash page on the first page. Campbell wonderfully expresses all of the action and chaos that occurs on the plane.This issue was exciting and enjoyable and readers will definitely enjoy this series.
