Determination and Grit in STRANGER THINGS: INTO THE FIRE #3

By

-

STRANGER THINGS: INTO THE FIRE #3, out this week from Dark Horse, continues the dramatic tale of Nine and Ten. They were once part of the same program that created Eleven. Only their fate isn’t as easy to follow.

Jamie is looking a wee bit disturbing in this cover of Stranger Things: Into the Fire #3.

***SPOILER WARNING***

Stranger Things: Into the Fire is a four-part miniseries, giving the focus to the subjects that came before Eleven. Specifically, it focuses on the two directly before her: Nine and Ten. As twin sisters, you’d think they both had the same gifts.

You’d be wrong. One carried all of the talent, while the other seemingly came along for the ride. Now the tables have turned, with the second sister determined to find and save her sister, no matter the cost.

The sisters are together once again on this alternate cover of Stranger Things: Into the Fire #3.

The Writing

Stranger Things: Into the Fire #3 is a fascinating read. This is an issue that takes all of that building tension and turns it explosively outward. Almost literally, as the case may be. Yet Marcy is more determined than ever to find her lost sister.

We all know that Dr. Brenner is a monster, yes? Or rather, was. We don’t need to have that fact reinforced. Yet that is exactly what happens, the more we dig into the past of this facility. As it turns out, Eleven was not the only one traumatized by her success.

For her success made the rest redundant. And redundancy is as good as dead when you have somebody like Dr. Brenner in charge of your fate. That is the story that unfolds on the pages. Or at least, it’s part of the story.

Then again, we’ve learned so much about the past subjects. Through comics and books, and flashbacks. We know they’re survivors. Through sheer determination and more than a little bit of luck. That is the story that Jody Houser has built onto here. A tale of how these characters have managed to survive incredible odds.

Granted, since there’s still one more issue left, we don’t actually know if they survive. Nothing is a given in this world. We learned that lesson the hard way during the last series. Yet, there’s something very human about the struggle. A fact made clear in this issue.

A heartbreaking scene can be found on this alternate cover of Stranger Things: Into the Fire #3.

The Art

Stranger Things: Into the Fire #3 provides memorable and iconic artwork. It’s a perfect match for the rest of the series we’ve seen thus far. Though admittedly the tone and colors may look slightly different if you’re expecting the Netflix series.

The creative team involved in this project is not a small one. Ryan Kelly (pencils), Le Beau Underwood (inks), Triona Farrell (colors), and Nate Piekos of Blambot (letters) all worked together to bring this series to life.

While the majority of this series has been creatively designed, the true highlight of the series has to be the imagery surrounding Jamie – the psychokinetic twin. There’s something beautiful and elegant about it, all while being utterly disturbing. It’s exactly what this series needed.

In Conclusion

Stranger Things: Into the Fire #3 continues Marcy’s quest to find and free her sister. Only, things never go according to plan. Not for the subjects of this particular lab. With only one issue left to resolve this plot, it’ll be fascinating to see how these two sisters reunite.

The Perfect Knight in ONCE & FUTURE #7

By

Cat Wyatt

-

ONCE & FUTURE #7, out this week from Boom! Studios, brings Duncan back into the field once again. He may have saved the day, alongside his grandmother, but that does not mean the job is done. Far from it, in fact.

Duncan and his grandmother are back on this cover of Once & Future #7.

***SPOILER WARNING***

Growing up, Duncan had no idea that the family business involved hunting and killing monsters while keeping the world safe from the horrors they bring with them. Now, Duncan has picked up that sword and task for himself.

It’s something he’s still learning about, and thus he’s bound to stumble here and there. But hey, he survived the last round of adventures, and he knew even less back then. But what he’s about to face now? That’s an entirely new and different set of threats.

Once & Future #7 is the start of a new plot arc. Yes, that does mean that there will likely be more dead things and kings coming back to try and rule the land. But that’s the draw of this series, this sense of warped history and legends of old.

A terrifying sight to behold on this variant cover of Once & Future #7.

The Writing

Once & Future #7 is everything fans had hoped for, and then some. It’s a dramatic continuation of the horrifying tale. We knew that the story was far from over, when Duncan believed that he had thwarted the evil King Arthur’s plans. But it was never going to be that easy, was it?

Kieron Gillen has written an issue full of surprising elements and careful character development. The threads left out from the last plot have once again been picked up, but he’s also laid the groundwork for more.

That likely means that things are about to get a whole lot busier for Duncan and his grandmother. So they should probably work through their issues sooner rather than later. Just a suggestion, of course.

The truth of the matter is, the balance between family drama and horror is perfection in this series. It reminds us that the heroes taking down the monsters are human, for good or for ill. In this instance, it’s a little bit of both.

The creative team involved, as you can see, it is not a small cast.

The Art

Once & Future #7 features some truly spectacular artwork. If you’ve checked out any of the previous issues, then you already have a strong idea of what is in strong for you here. Here, horror meets fantasy in a blinding and stylistic manner, one that is highly entertaining and memorable.

Dan Mora is the lead artist, providing the lines that set the tone. His ghouls and monsters are superb, being that right balance of magical and disguising (being undead and all). It makes them feel more real, but not too real. It also adds so much impact when an injury occurs, because he does not shy away from those scenes.

Tamra Bonvillain is the colorist, a fact that was probably pretty clear from just a glimpse. The colors are vibrant and almost feel alive. The magical elements of the series look exactly that – magical. Even when said magic is surrounding an army of the walking dead.

Last, but certainly not least, we have Ed Dukeshire, the letterer for this project. There’s a lot to appreciate about the work done here, not least of which being the decisions behind making the undead voices distinct.

And so Galahad volunteers himself once again.

In Conclusion

Once & Future #7 was an alarming and compelling read. One that has once again kicked off the series, carrying along old threads and creating new ones at the same time. It’s clear that this series, and thus Duncan’s battles, are far from over. Here’s looking forward to another epic battle in the making.boom

Review: Into The Heart Of The Rot In JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #21

By

Corey Patterson

-

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #21 hits comic book stores on Wednesday, March 25th, and it is a remarkable sequel to the story laid out in last issue. Readers will remember the League fought off a fungal invasion of Los Angeles, leading John Constantine and Zatanna to investigate the magical cause behind the outbreak. It seems the elemental forces of nature are warring with each other, and it’s up to our heroes to restore the balance.

Story

The narrative takes readers straight into the heart of the Rot: Lewton Reformatory. It is here they hope to meet Abigail Arcane, an individual capable of tapping into the Rot. They plan to ask her to help them quell the raging Green and Red forces of life.

Zatanna and Constantine soon encounter the heart of the Rot. There they are confronted with a swarm of undead creatures, leading Constantine to jump ahead using magic in an attempt to confront Arcane. However, what he finds might be more than he bargained for.

Ram V’s script is perfectly paced, guiding readers from one unnerving scene to the next. Readers will hold their collective breath as they watch Constantine and Zatanna attempt to bargain with the very forces of death itself.

Artwork

Alvaro Martínez Bueno‏’s penciling and Raul Fernandez’s ink work, combined with June Chung’s coloring and Rob Leigh’s lettering, effectively crafted an issue full of adventure and horror. The details on the fungi and monsters, varying shades of purple in the Rot, and eery font for the word balloons set the tone for this intriguing issue.

Comic Covers

Main Cover

Yanick Paquette and Nathan Fairbairn’s main cover features our heroes taking on the revitalized monsters of the Rot. This shows the overwhelming forces that are attempting to invade our world.

Variant Cover

Clayton Crain’s variant cover is similar to the main cover, but it uses darker tones to create a sense of mystery.

Conclusion

JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #21 gives readers a deeper look into the Parliaments of Life and the very forces of death itself. We’re anxious to see how this storyline plays out.

Do you think there’s a solution in sight for our heroes? Lets us know in the comments below!

It’s All A Gray Area With FALCON & WINTER SOLDIER #2

By

Colin Tessier

-

In Marvel Comics’ Falcon & Winter Soldier #2, on sale March 25, writer Derek Landy adds new layers to the mystery surrounding Hydra’s resurgence by forcing the heroes to work with a vile villain. Plus, he pits Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes against each other in a battle of moral superiority that purposefully leaves the reader unsure where to stand.

Falcon & Winter Soldier #2

Writer: Derek Landy

Artist: Federico Vicentini

Color Artist: Matt Milla

Letterer: VC’s Joe Caramagna

“You’re Not The Punisher, Buck.”

Landy takes some of the seeds he planted in the series’ first issue and turns them into strong narrative threads. The dynamic between Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes continues to carry the story; again, the duo butts heads for their crime-fighting methods. Whereas Sam prefers to fight like Steve Rogers and avoid killing, Bucky’s willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. When the former Captain Americas regroup after they were dealt a setback last issue, Sam gives Bucky a speech about why killing is wrong. Using The Punisher as his main example, Sam tells Bucky he’s better than that. Bucky maintains his philosophy — killers deserve to be killed — but Sam doesn’t budge. Despite Sam’s attempt to take the moral high ground, Landy continues to plant doubt in the reader’s mind by showing that Sam and Bucky are more alike than they think.

Falcon Winter Soldier 2 Train — Despite the differences between Sam and Bucky, this is still a buddy cop story.

Throughout the issue, the art team augments this comparison. Artist Federico Vicentini depicts a lengthy fight scene on a train. Sam and Bucky both get a lot of blood on their hands, and Vicentini and color artist Matt Milla make Sam look particularly brutal; he constantly grits his teeth while he brutalizes some wannabe assassins. The art teami plants some natural irony in the issue when Falcon beats the daylights out of some goons right after he criticizes Bucky’s tendency to use lethal force. There’s room to flesh out this hypocrisy but, for now, the creative team’s subtlety is working. As Sam and Bucky continue to investigate Hydra’s latest revival, the potential conflict remains the series’ main draw.

“Cut Off One Head…”

It wouldn’t be a spy thriller without a moral grey area. Here, Bucky and Sam are forced to work with one of Captain America’s most heinous villains. Landy firmly suggests the heroes are better off working with the devil they know than they are dealing with a new, unpredictable threat. As with Sam’s characterization in the fight scene, Landy shows readers the dark side of the superhero world. Bucky’s so outraged to see the villain that he holds a gun to his head and yells, “Can you reverse a gunshot to the head? Vicentini conveys Bucky’s rage by featuring stress lines on his face and a half-crazed look in his eyes. Eventually, cooler heads prevail, but it’s quickly becoming clear that Cap wouldn’t completely approve of this mission.

The second installment of Falcon & Winter Soldier takes the best parts of its predecessor and makes them even more compelling. Landy interrogates the assumed superiority of superheroes with “no kill” policies and crafts a mystery thriller that leaves the reader wanting more. Hopefully, the next issue will ramp up the suspense to make this story a genuine thriller.

Normally, we’d advise you to check your local comic book store for this issue. But, given the circumstances, it might be safer to buy a digital copy.

What’d you think of Falcon & Winter Soldier #2? Do you agree with Sam, or do you share Bucky’s perspective?

Review: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #27 Is Surprisingly Emotional

By

Anthony Wendel

-

Sonic The Hedgehog #27 keeps the action high thanks to writing by Ian Flynn, pencils and inks by Evan Stanley and Adam Bryce Thomas, colors by Matt Herms and Bracardi Curry, and lettering by Shawn Lee. The quest to claim the Chaos Emeralds is on and if the good guys don’t get them, all is lost. Does the issue deliver enough action for the audience or does it run out of steam halfway through?

Summary

“All or Nothing,” Part 2. Will Tails, Amy, Gemerl, and Cream be able to get the Emeralds, or will the Restoration’s last desperate plan fall to ruin?

Writing

The battles against each of the Deadly Six to obtain the Chaos Emeralds continues and manages to deliver some great battle scenes. Amy and Tails have to fight against Zomom, who has more of a stomach than brains. Though there is a joke about how easy Zomom is to fool, the giant monster doesn’t simply hand over the Chaos Emerald to the good guys. Instead, the battle results in some property damage and some careful planning to have any hopes of achieving success.

The real draw of this issue is Cream the bunny and Germerl trying to defeat Zeena. The relationship between Cream and Germerl is tested and their struggle tugs on the heartstrings. Ian Flynn makes it clear never mess with Cream or you will face the wrath of Germerl.

Artwork

The pencils and inks by Evan Stanley and Adam Bryce Thomas achieve a smooth flow which is perfect for fight scenes. The attacks on the Deadly Six come off with impact and damage. The looks of fear and anger on Cream’s face are very expressive and help to show how fighting is a new experience for her.

With the colors by Matt Herms and Bracardi Curry the magic Zeena uses is very eyecatching. Between her attempts to control Germerl and the energy tethers she uses in battle, the color adds to the weights behind the attacks. Also, two different sunset scenes achieve contrasting emotions, one of sadness and the other of impending danger with the execution of different colors.

The lettering by Shawn Lee adds a phenomenal audio quality to the issue. The effect of “Piko” as Amy uses her hammer comes off as a perfect representation of the character’s ability. The lettering also adds to the rage Gemerl experiences when Zeena puts Cream in danger.

Conclusion

The battles in Sonic The Hedgehog #27 are intense but the struggle the characters face in the process will be what really wins readers over. Seeing a character which has limited facial features like Germerl able to express emotions is a success thanks to the art and story working in harmony. With any luck, the series will continue to deliver at this level of quality.

Review: THE KILL LOCK #4 – Kindred Spirits & Death Traps

By

Justin Munday

-

The fourth issue of Livio Ramondelli’s “The Kill Lock” brings this motley crew of machines together like a dysfunctional family, just before an unpredictable climax. The stellar characterization combines with Ramondelli’s gorgeous art and Tom Long’s letters to create what may be the most easily enjoyable issue thus far.

“If their sources are right, they’re on the World of the Cure—the one and only place to have the Kill Lock removed and for four robotic criminals to save their lives. But will this barren world provide their salvation… or their destruction?”

Writing & Plot

Livio Ramondelli‘s winning formula with “The Kill Lock” has always been his focus on characterization, and using that to bolster the plot and worldbuilding. Issue #4 spends some time on the backstory for “The Wraith,” and it once again feels earned. The story learned about the character is utilized in the rest of the issue. The quartet’s shifting attitudes towards one another (which comes out of necessity) isn’t forced into the plot. Ramondelli was clever to deliver this sort of writing after the ominous foreshadowing in the prior issue. Making “The Kid” the lynchpin for the whole group is a choice backed up by the necessity for survival, but watching them bond over both him and their circumstances is truly a joy to read. This issue’s tumultuous events in the latter half following the lighter scenes increase the stakes exponentially going forward, and it will be nervewracking to see what happens as the story heads into the climax.

Art Direction

Livio Ramondelli’s artistic mastery of desolate environments and unique robots extends into “Kill Lock” #4. His ability to make wholly unique designs for the four central characters (as well as extras) that also display considerable personality through only body language is wildly impressive. As an artist first and foremost, Ramondelli knows how to let the visuals speak for themselves, which is why his characters exhibit so much through the posture or the framing of images. The used future aesthetic of this universe, replete with burned-out deserts and uninhabitable tundras, reinforces the desperate tone of the series. The Lettering from Tom B. Long fluctuates in font and style depending on who’s speaking just as it should, but it’s the Wraith’s font that gets the most special treatment. His lettering is reminiscent of some sort of medieval-esque text, and it genuinely plants that character’s manner and speech in a way that the art and dialogue couldn’t possibly do alone. The visual work here is once again a gorgeous tandem of character focus and world design.

“The Kill Lock” #4 is another meticulously crafted chapter in this surprise Sci-Fi hit. Livio Ramondelli’s handling of character development feels natural and is timed perfectly to max out tension before the major climax. His visual work further allows for focus on the four characters as they face hostile environments. This, along with Tom Long’s thoughtful lettering, makes for a consistently stellar series that never fails to impress and engage. Be sure to keep picking this series up from your local comic shop when this issue hits shelves on 3/25.

Review: A Folklord Is Revealed In FOLKLORDS #5

By

Corey Patterson

-

Ansel’s quest comes to a surprising conclusion in FOLKLORDS #5, available in comic book stores on Wednesday, March 25th. After embarking on a journey to find answers to questions about his origins, the out of sorts hero has faced many fantastical challenges across the land. However, it appears our modern, “real” world has invaded not only Ansel’s dreams but his plane of existence as well. Will he and his band of friends prevent the two realities from destroying each other? And where are the Folklords?

Story

The story opens up with a bang (literally) as Ansel, Archer, and Ugly hide behind a barrier as a World War 2 tank barrels down their path. It seems that the modern world is meshing with their reality in highly destructive ways. Yet Ansel notices something peculiar about the tank: it’s made of wood.

As it turns out, a group of drugged gnomes were forced to pilot the tank as a ruse. The real danger lies in the group of Librarians, who soon apprehend our heroes. And in a short few panels, readers are introduced to John Ronald, a.k.a. The Folklord. And he claims he’s invented the entire world they’re living in with nothing but his mind.

Matt Kindt’s narrative contains all of the thrill and flair one would expect out of any best-selling fantasy novel. The build up to the Folklord’s reveal is played out well, slowing down afterward as the reality of his position takes time to set in. But even though things take a turn for a worse, Kindt finds ways to balance the tone so readers don’t dwell in despair for long.

Artwork

The illustrations within FOLKLORDS #5 are a perfect blend of modernity and fantasy. Matt Smith’s penciling and ink work incorporates suits, ties, and war attire in the middle of a fantastical labyrinth. Colorist Chris O’Halloran fills these “modern images” in with a combination of the bland colors to create a stark difference between them and Ansel’s colorful world. In addition, Jim Campbell’s lettering looks as if it was torn from a fairytale book, adding to the authenticity of this tale.

Comic Covers

Main Cover

Smith put together the main cover of this issue, and it captures the essence of this issue. We see Ansel ascending a mountain and coming upon a shining pinnacle, representing the conclusion of this journey.

Unlocked Retailer Variant Cover

Jeff Smith’s variant cover depicts Ansel smiling gleefully as he’s ferried across a river into unknown territory. It looks much like the River Styx, drawing analogies to the fabled passage in Greek mythology.

Conclusion

FOLKLORDS #5 is a satisfying conclusion to this exciting narrative, but it also opens up the door to something totally new. We hope to see more from Kindt, Smith, and team in the future!

DIAMOND COMIC DISTRIBUTORS Stops All Shipments To Comic Stores

Diamond Comics Distributors Stops All Shipments To Comic Stores

Of all the rapidly unfolding COVID-19 news and its effect on the comic industry in particular — such as the canceling/postponement of the entire spring convention season — we may have just gotten the biggest blow yet. Diamond Comics, which handles the majority of distribution to U.S. comic stores, today announced a freeze on all new product.

What that means for customers in the short term is that physical comics (like this week’s Action Comics #1021) will no longer be available in stores for the foreseeable future.

Here’s the official statement to retailers from Diamond CEO Steve Geppi:

CORONAVIRUS EFFECTS ON DISTRIBUTION

As everyone knows, the world faces ever-increasing challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its effects on the comics & collectibles and tabletop gaming industries have been felt far and wide. We are hearing from thousands of retailers that they can no longer service their customers as they have in the past, many of them forced to close by government action or resort to in-person or curbside delivery. Even those still open are seeing reduced foot traffic in most cases, a situation that seems likely to worsen with time.

Our publishing partners are also faced with numerous issues in their supply chain, working with creators, printers, and increasing uncertainty when it comes to the production and delivery of products for us to distribute. Our freight networks are feeling the strain and are already experiencing delays, while our distribution centers in New York, California, and Pennsylvania were all closed late last week. Our own home office in Maryland instituted a work from home policy, and experts say that we can expect further closures. Therefore, my only logical conclusion is to cease the distribution of new weekly product until there is greater clarity on the progress made toward stemming the spread of this disease.

EFFECTS ON DIAMOND COMIC DISTRIBUTORS

Product distributed by Diamond and slated for an on-sale date of April 1st or later will not be shipped to retailers until further notice. For the time being, however, we have been able to develop procedures with our teams at the distribution center in Olive Branch, MS to safely continue fulfillment of direct ship reorders for the retailers who are able to receive new product and need it to service their customers. It’s unlikely that orders will be filled on the same day they are placed, and these plans are subject to change if at any point we no longer feel that we can safeguard our teams while fulfilling orders.

Product distributed by Diamond UK and slated for an on-sale date of March 25th or later will not be shipped to retailers until further notice. Further updates with regard to reorders and other Diamond UK-specific information will be communicated directly to their customers as information becomes available.

EFFECTS ON ALLIANCE GAME DISTRIBUTORS

Product distributed by Alliance has been shipping from our Fort Wayne, IN and Austin, TX warehouses. Both are closing at the end of the day on Tuesday, March 24th, in the interest of employee safety and to comply with direction from local governments. Any orders not shipped by that time will not be processed until further notice. Your dedicated sales team will still be working remotely and will help you with any orders you’d like to place today or questions you may have.

OUR SHARED PATH FORWARD

With these changes in our distribution strategy, we will work with our publishing partners to develop programs that will address product already in the pipeline and what will happen when we resume distribution. We know that during this time you will face many challenges, and we will direct our energies toward addressing them, rather than fighting on increasingly numerous fronts to get product out.

For those retailers who remain open in various forms, I encourage you let loose your own creativity. For the time being, you will be able to replenish your perennials from Diamond and/or Alliance, but you should also remember the stock you already have in your stores. If your doors remain open, it’s likely you will have customers who will continue to seek diversion from events of the world. Special sales, promotions, and even eBay can help you bring in cash during this trying time. Product for which you’ve already paid may well hold some of your answers. There have been many solid suggestions offered about how to help our retailers, and we will bring many of them together in future communications.

Besides the industry’s most immediate needs, we have been and will continue looking toward the future, when we see stores reopening, bringing staff back onboard, and getting customers in the door. We are looking at issues like debt accrued due to this crisis, what reduced ordering means for your discount tiers, and the availability of credit to help stores through and after this difficult time. We don’t have all those answers today, but we understand the many issues you are facing and look forward to addressing them as partners who all have an interest in the long-term health of the industry we love so much.

As I mentioned in my last update, this industry has been one of the greatest joys of my life, from my days as a collector to a retailer to today. I and my Leadership Team have made these decisions knowing full-well the effect they will have on all of you, as well as our publishing partners and our own team members around the world. At the end of the day, the safety and security of our teams and yours, along with the many customers we all serve, is paramount. I again thank you for your ongoing patience and support.

Thank You,

Steve Geppi
Chairman & CEO, Geppi Family Enterprises

Wonder Woman #754 hits your local comic book shop next week (if it’s open, ugh), but thanks to DC Comics, Monkeys Fighting Robots has a five-page preview for you to check out.

The vengeful villainess has obtained a weapon of mass destruction that can wipe out the Amazons for good!
