Spontaneous #2 – Review

The premise behind this book is that spontaneous combustion can really happen to people, but that there is a dark force that is behind it. The stories main character Melvin has been affected by this all his life and has dedicated himself to finding out more while hiding a secret of his own. The second issue opens with a flashback of Melvin’s childhood in which a bully is calling him Kelvin Melvin. It’s mostly harmless until the bully throws matches at him and a sinister voice only Melvin can hear tells him to “Show them all.”

Farscape #21 – Review

I never watched a lot of  Farscape, but I always liked what I saw. It was a show about an astronaut from present day Earth getting shot into a galaxy of aliens and spaceships designed by Jim Henson Company. What’s not to like? Yet, somehow, here we are with what I found to be the worst combination of aliens and the Henson name since Muppets From Space.

Lady Mechanika #2 – Review

Lady Mechanika returns this week after some delay which Aspen is probably not too thrilled about since the first two issues (one of them was a zero issue) sold out and quickly became a hot property for them. Now it’s been a few months and retailers are probably unhappy that interest has dwindled in the book and Aspen is probably even less thrilled about it. To make it up they’re releasing a double-sized issue containing the zero and the first issue. Some fans and retailers may still be unhappy about the delay, but to be fair it happens in comics far too often. With a property like this you need Joe Benitez’s art to carry the book or you end up with Final Crisis with as many artists as possible to finish the book on time.

Hellraiser #3 – Review

I really have to wonder how the hell this series can get any better. The style of storytelling changes slightly with each issue, but its consistently better each issue. It’s as if the story is building towards some epic battle between humanity and hell and the outcome could very well tear hell apart if humanity were to win.

Dollhouse: Epitaphs #1 – Review

This is the book that Whedon addicts have been waiting for. If there’s one thing the world should know, it’s that you don’t cancel a Joss Whedon show without regretting it when it becomes a hit comic book. The popularity of the Buffy comic continuing the TV season feel of the show has brought in readers that would not ordinarily have read comics, but wanted their TV fix, to the world of comics. The latest edition to try this out is two season flop Dollhouse. Granted flop might be a bit harsh and yes Fox the king of cancelling had a lot to do with that. Regardless, it’s cancelled and now in comic form with Jed Whedon at the helm.

Loose Ends #1 – Review

There are several parts at play in this story that keep it grounded in reality, even if that reality is the underbelly of society. We’re introduced to a cast of characters in this issue as well, which is typically of drug/heist movies, lots of cogs all in motion waiting for the reader to get caught in-between the gears.Loose Ends is a surprisingly good read and an impressive addition to 12 Gauge Comics’ library.

B.P.R.D. – Hell On Earth: Monsters #1

I don’t read a lot of B.P.R.D. and the last issue I read was a very revealing origin story for Elizabeth the Pyrotechnic. This issue has her on her own and away from the B.P.R.D.  and living in a trailer park with two random dudes. She comes home to find a poker game in her kitchen and is really pissed off about it, so pissed that she kicks one of the players in the mouth. After that everyone clears out pretty quickly and Liz decides to head to bed leaving the two remaining men to clean up the blood and mess.
