Mad Hatter

It is always a case of difference of taste when it comes down to reviewing a book. For me it is the Mad Hatter edition, simply due to Bill Sienkiewicz. Although, Bill doesn’t do the art himself, he is able to leave a mark with this book and is largely successful in giving it his personal touch. Landry Walker’s writing is impressive and these two together offer us quite a bit of entertainment. Keith Giffen’s art is absolutely wonderful and he works well with Bill to create a great Mad Hatter story.

murder of king tut1

Based on a novel by James Patterson, this comic narrates the tales of ancient Greek civilization. The story primarily revolves around Akhenaten and his struggle for the throne and the challenges. Although this book is based on the novel by Patterson, there is hardly any weightage given to the central character of the novel. Also, this isn’t an absolutely copy of the novel as it omits a lot of sequences from the novel.

Hawkeye and Mockingbird 1

Jim McCann’s casting of Hawkeye and Mockingbird, just like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in the movie Mr. & Mrs Smith, as super hero spies is extremely crucial to this latest issue. It gives that initial flurry in the beginning providing a perfect platform as we move along.

Northlanders Vol28

Northlanders Vol. 28 (The Plague Widow), the third story in the series is over and I must confess that it is the best of the lot. It is a complete package without any loopholes throughout the book and rightfully holds on to the attention of the reader.

It is amazing to see how amidst the current scenario of hostility, ranging from biological weapons and sealing of borders, this issue is able to maintain its topicality and yet bring upon the 11th century feel. Brian Wood perfectly showcases the good, bad and the evil side of a war and manages to play with situation very well when it came to creating diverse situations.

American Vampire Vol 3

My counterparts in reviewing seem to be very impressed with this series. Both the first and the second issue were very highly rated by reviewers. So, here I am all set to chime this latest issue, which could prove to be a turning point in the stories of Pearl as well as Skinner Sweet.

Pearl believes in her gut feelings but also has the intelligence to handle her urges with utmost care and this combination makes her a real force. This issue seems to have no boundaries whatsoever and Snyder manages to surprise and shock.

Batman Streets of Gotham Vol12 Recently the Batman series’ latest issue “Streets of Gotham” Volume 12 has had a lot of issues. But, in spite of these off the scene issues the latest from the Batman series is fairly entertaining. Dini, Fridolfs and Nguyen succeed in giving us a great experience, thanks largely to Carpenter. The carpenter portrays a villain and is perfect for exploration and that is what they have given as she gets solo and inks a deal with a new client.

wonderwomen 43

After last month’s not so great issue, “Wonder Woman” is back with bang with the latest issue. This is one of the best issues of Wonder Woman in a very long time and Nicola Scott makes the perfect comeback after the disappointment of the last issue.

Hellcyon Vol1

Hellcyon is the latest offering of Lucas Marangon and at the first glance it definitely looks impressive. However, a more detailed and closer inspection tells a different story altogether. It isn’t as neat as it seemed when you just skim across it.

Marangon definitely has potential and does show some flashes of brilliance. It seems he draws inspiration from several quarters and his style reminds of Otomo’s “Akira” and at the same time it also seems to be influenced by the early school of Ladronn.

Dark Wolverine Vol 85

This issue of the “Dark Wolverine” may appear similar to “Siege” and “Wolverine Origin” to some readers. However, as they carry on with this issue, they would realize that it is far more interesting than what its frequently used title may suggest. Romulus plays the role of a villain in this Marvel adventure and seems very spotty.

Black Terror Vol9

The initial five issues of Black Terror had Jim Krueger taking charge of the scripts and Mike Lily handling the artwork. However, the duo of Phil Hester and Alex Ross who have taken over since seem to do a far better job in this thrilling series. The issue is filled with some great action that has been projected beautifully by the writer. The well crafted airbrush illustrations make it a really dramatic issue filled with some swirling action. Readers may have some complaints about the choice of the colors but they do manage to make the story look lively.

Oddly enough, I thought Roy Thomas was dead. The writing and artwork for this series is excellent. I loved the 5 issues -- and thought that the cover for #3 was among the year's best comic covers. But it's unlikely this series will stand the test of time. If it
