Vampirella Versus Red Sonja #5 Review – The war to save the Dynamite multiverse concludes in Vampirella Versus Red Sonja #5, where we finally have a good knockdown drag-out fight between Vampirella and Red Sonja.

With his cadre of silly-yet-dangerous (but mostly silly) toy weapons, Q-Jack (as the kids call him) aims to reign terror upon the citizens of St. Canard!

Sweetie Candy Vigilante #3 Review – For anyone who loved issues 1 and 2, Sweetie Candy Vigilante #3 delivers the goods yet again, giving not only her origin story, but also revealing her arch-nemesis. It’s all told by Candy Wolf, Sweetie’s sugar-addicted lycanthropic right-hand man, and it adds another layer to this wonderful series, which combines the pop-art sensibilities of an Archie Comic with the brutal bloody action of a grindhouse film and is endlessly imaginative. Continue reading Sweetie Candy Vigilante #3 Review

Cat-Man and Kitten #1 Review – Debuting way back in 1940, Cat-Man’s origin was in Crash Comics #4, and after various incarnations with various companies through the years, Dynamite Comics acquired the Cat-Man (as well as his sidekick Kitten) and used the characters via flashbacks in their Project Superpowers: Chapter Two Prelude one-shot. Cat-Man and Kitten #1 is a one-shot set firmly in 1948, where David Merrywether (Cat-Man’s secret identity) works as a private detective with his ward Katie (AKA Kitten). It’s a blast of Golden Age goodness, as Cat-Man and Kitten encounter ace pilot Skyman and the sorcerer Marvelo, go into action with ace reporter Lindy, and try to solve the mystery of a missing Mayan artifact and the shadowy figure (wielding a Flash Gordon-style ray gun) who may have stolen it. Continue reading Cat-Man and Kitten #1 Review
