The Devil Made Flesh

The fourth issue of “The Unknown: The Devil Made Flesh” marked the end of the second mini-series of “The Unknown”. Although the issue is entertaining, it fails to match the earlier issues of the series. The revelation that Scott Tilton had been the murderer of the single soul solved the mystery of the killer in Colorado in the issue which also sees Catherine, the world renowned detective being trapped in the caves. The issue explains the reason for Tilton’s fixation with the caves and how he slewed his companions.

Batman Vol690

This issue of the Batman would probably see Judd Winick conclude his run as a writer as he is going to be replaced by Tony Daniel who will replace him as the writer from the next issue. Winick’s brought back Jason Todd and although he had a brief run to the title, he made it very clear how good he is at writing Dick Grayson. Winick depicted Grayson-as-Batman to be a person with a mix of confidence with a bit of wonder.

S.W.O.R.D. Vol. 1

The story of the debut issue of the S.W.O.R.D. is quite different from what its cover has to suggest. Look at the cover. Don’t you get a feeling that that it would be a very serious super agent comic based in space? Well! Guys! This is actually closer to comic books like “She-Hulk” and “Secret Warriors”. Kieron Gillen has done a fabulous job with the humor of the story which appears to be in sync with the drama of the story. However, the work of the artist Steven Sanders in the issue is far from being satisfactory.

Star Trek

Fool’s Gold Vol.1 takes place between the third and fourth season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and being the first act of television episode sets up the plot in a great way without delivering much interest on its own. It creates an intriguing mystery which explains the state of the incoming and outgoing traffic to DS9. Quark who seems to hold the answers does not provide much of a clue. The issue starts in a way that would throw some light on the background of Deep Space 9 for new readers and focuses on two suspicious characters who arrive at the station for unspecified reason.

Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 615

The Amazing Spider Man has had an interesting and very artistic line up when you talk about the last two months. The succeeding act of “The Gauntlet” uber plot has Spider Man facing the Sandman after he dispatched Electro in the previous issue. Fred Van Lente has used the character of Sandman in a very different way than the character of Electro used by Mark Waid. He has combined different aspects to the story and given it a beautiful turn which seems just about perfect.

To retain the popularity and the interest of the viewers, when the action serial Buffy the Vampire Slayer was off air, Joss Whedon had used the comic books as a medium to continue the popular franchise. He has once again opted for the same technique for one of his popular blogs called Dr. Horrible Sing-Along that became quite popular last year. The funny star cast of Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion was so wonderful and entertaining that people were left begging for more.

Green Lantern Vol48

This issue of Green Lantern is a departure from the action of “Blackest Night” that had been running on for months and also sees the return of the characters into main action. Geoff Johns has done a truly remarkable job in this issue and has represented the War of Lights perfectly. The issue gives a great peak inside the world of DC and is paced beautifully for the casts that can be led directly into Blackest Night #5.
