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. It’s a good conclusion to the mini-series, wrapping up all the loose ends, but it’s a conclusion that’s more tepid than explosive. Continue reading Vampirella Versus Red Sonja #5 Review

Continue reading Barbarella: The Center Cannot Hold #1 Review

Darkwing Duck #2 Review – QUACKERJACK! Nefarious ne’er-do-well, and bane of Darkwing Duck’s existence! 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! Normally, D-Wing (as no one calls him) is great at focusing on fending off the criminal element…but at the moment, he’s particularly overprotective of his daughter Gosalyn. Continue reading Darkwing Duck #2 Review

Can Dynamite’s latest installment equal the excitement I felt pulling Marvel’s Red Sonja comics off the spinner racks back in my youth? Let’s leap into Unbreakable Red Sonja #3 and find out!

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.
