For the week of 28 October 2019

Quick Bits:

Afterlift #1 is a digital original from Chip Zdarsky, Jason Loo, Paris Alleyne, and Aditya Bidikar. Very interesting concept here playing with a character who drives for a Lyft analogue in Cabit, leading to becoming a rather unique courier.

| Published by Jams & Jellies

Batman Annual #4 actually gives us many adventures and stories as we go through almost two months’ of diary entries of Batman’s exploits from Alfred, as told by Tom King, Jorge Fornés, Mike Norton, Dave Stewart, and Clayton Cowles. It’s a nice way to pack a lot of story into this annual in a fairly unique way, while also showcasing just how busy Batman really is. 

| Published by DC Comics

Black Panther #17 sets up for the next confrontation with N’Jadaka and his forces, also giving us a rather...awkward but interesting conversation between Storm and Nakia. Gorgeous art from Daniel Acuña.

| Published by Marvel

Bloodshot #2 continues the balls to the wall action as Bloodshot and the Black Bar conflict escalates, from Tim Seeley, Brett Booth, Adelso Corona, Andrew Dalhouse, and Dave Sharpe. It’s a bit of a throwback to a more action-oriented style, but it definitely works for Bloodshot. A nice change of pace to give a variety of storytelling.

| Published by Valiant

Conan the Barbarian #10 spins us the twins’ yarn as they plotted their revenge on Conan, from Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, Matthew Wilson, and Travis Lanham. The art from Asrar and Wilson is gorgeous. The backstory building up to last parts of this story and the fate of Conan is gripping.

| Published by Marvel

Contagion #5 brings an end to this series from Ed Brisson, Adam Gorham, Veronica Gandini, and Cory Petit. Gorgeous and creepy art here from Gorham and Gandini. 

| Published by Marvel

DCeased #6 is surprisingly hopefully, even as everything dies and everybody hurts. It appears to be setting up a sequel, though likely to be incredibly bleak. Tom Taylor, Trevor Hairsine, Neil Edwards, Stefano Gaudiano, Rain Beredo, and Saida Temofonte conclude this series in epic fashion as we say goodbye to Earth.

| Published by DC Comics

Death’s Head #4 is another ending to a series this week, from Tini Howard, Kei Zama, Felipe Sobreiro, and Travis Lanham. Some very nice character work here for Death’s Head and Vee.

| Published by Marvel

Doctor Strange Annual #1 gives us a pair of tales. The lead from Tini Howard, Andy MacDonald, Tríona Farrell, and Cory Petit is a fun Halloween story dealing with the spirits haunting the Sanctum Sanctorum. Any art from MacDonald is a treat. The back up is a bit more deadly serious with Pornsak Pichetshote, Lalit Kumar Sharma, Sean Parsons, José Villarrubia, and Petit revealing a failsafe should Strange go rogue.

| Published by Marvel

Ether: The Disappearance of Violet Bell #2 continues to be incredibly inventive as Boone tries to track down the assassin. David Rubín’s art is absolutely amazing. And Boone’s continued inability to really think about anyone other than himself is telling.

| Published by Dark Horse

Excalibur #1 is another tick in the win column for “Dawn of X”. The X-Men dabbling in magic isn’t common, but Tini Howard, Marcus To, Erick Arciniega, and Cory Petit do so with amazing flair, fittingly taking us in through Otherworld, Captain Britain, and Betsy Braddock. Apocalypse’s new incarnation as  “ •|A| •” and his newfound interest in magic is fascinating.

| Published by Marvel

Five Years #5 spotlights Zoe’s rather elaborate imagination for coming up with ways to murder people. Granted, the Russian agent may well deserve it, but still... Terry Moore continues to deliver some unexpected twists as the end of the world inches closer.

| Published by Abstract Studio

Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 is a one-shot finale special from John Allison, Max Sarin, Whitney Cogar, and Jim Campbell. It picks up roughly a year from the end of the series, dealing with why Esther has been missing from their reunions. It’s full of all of the humour that we’ve been used to and hammers home the power of friendship. Also, it gets very, very weird. 

| Published by Boom Entertainment / BOOM! Box

Harleen #2 works hard to portray Harley’s seduction by the Joker. Stjepan Šejić and Gabriela Downie portray it as an insidious, manipulative thing. It might appear romantic on the surface, but there’s definitely a darkness there. There are ideas of bringing back a monster from the edge of insanity, but the story makes you realize that some may well be beyond hope.

| Published by DC Comics - Black Label

Hellboy and the BPRD: Long Night at Goloski Station might well be the best of these new format tales yet, and both of the previous ones were incredibly strong. Here Mike Mignola, Matt Smith, Dave Stewart, and Clem Robins deliver a single issue story building on Hellboy’s confrontation with Baba Yaga, Sir Edward Grey, and demons. 

| Published by Dark Horse

Invisible Kingdom #6 begins the second arc, “Edge of Everything”, as the crew first try to find food and fuel and then run afoul of a salvage ship. G. Willow Wilson, Christian Ward, and Sal Cipriano keep things interesting as we start to see the crew’s life after Lux.

| Published by Dark Horse / Berger Books

Invisible Woman #4 is disturbing, basically everything goes to hell and everyone that Sue was trusting to see this operation through has let her down. Or worse. Mark Waid, Mattia De Iulis, and Joe Caramagna set up a rather horrifying situation in this penultimate chapter. Again, De Iulis’ artwork is stunning. 

| Published by Marvel

Joker: Killer Smile #1 is essentially a psychological horror from Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, Jordie Bellaire, and Steve Wands. It comes from the point of view of a psychiatrist, Dr. Ben Arnell, who is trying to get to the heart of Joker’s mental state. It’s not going so well and it appears like the good doctor is losing time, doing strange things, and possibly worse. Very intriguing beginning to this story.

| Published by DC Comics - Black Label

Knights Temporal #4 has some stunning artwork from Fran Galán, particularly during the gangster sequences where colour comes into play as another important storytelling element. There are some very nice twists this issue, making you wonder about a lot of what we thought we knew.

| Published by AfterShock

The Last God #1 is dark fantasy done right by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Riccardo Federici, Sunny Gho, Dean White, Tom Napolitano, Steve Wands, and Jared Blando. It gives us lying kings, heroes who weren’t rightly heroes, and a Lovecraftian terror returned to show the truth. It plays deep on resentment and distrust, and of a complete failure of institutions to uphold a decent society. All with absolutely stunning artwork from Federici, Gho, and White. This is a beautiful, haunting work.

| Published by DC Comics - Black Label

Last Stop on the Red Line #4 is very, very weird. We get a peek behind the masks of the monsters and it’s even stranger. There’s a very interesting mix of symbolism and the supernatural where we’re really not sure where one begins and the other ends. This was a very unique series from Paul Maybury, Sam Lotfi, and Adam Pruett.

| Published by Dark Horse

Mall #3 goes even harder into inter-faction warfare as it seems like all of the groups are at one another’s throats. Great world-building here from Michael Moreci, Gary Dauberman, Zak Hartong, Addison Duke, and Jim Campbell, with some interesting plot developments.

| Published by Vault

Manor Black #4 concludes the series as we see what essentially amounts to order vs. chaos as the old blood takes on wild magic. This doesn’t feel so much as a conclusion as an end to a chapter of a wider arc, leaving much unresolved. Hopefully we see more. The artwork from Tyler Crook is phenomenal.

| Published by Dark Horse

Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #1 is really damn good. Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Leonard Kirk, Guru-eFX, and Travis Lanham kick off this series with a new angle on the Marvel Zombies, playing up more on the horror angle, with a truly terrifying spread of the disease through a new vector. Gorgeous artwork from Kirk and Guru-eFX.

| Published by Marvel

Monster Planet #1 is the kind of thing that you used to see regularly published by Image and Top Cow, the military action comic that throws in horror elements, from Joe Brusha, Marcelo Mueller, Maxflan Araujo, and Taylor Esposito. It’s not bad, setting up a world where humanity has been turned into dinosaur-like beasts and the remnants of society need to turn to classical monsters for help.

| Published by Zenescope

The Necromancer’s Map #3 takes a bit of a different approach, giving us a fair amount of action as Tristan’s Will catch up with Bethany and co. as well as some great character building in between the action. Great stuff from Andrea Fort, Michael Christopher Horn, Sam Beck, Ellie Wright, and AndWorld Design.

| Published by Vault

The Plot #2 is wonderful horror storytelling from Tim Daniel, Michael Moreci, Joshua Hixson, Jordan Boyd, and Jim Campbell. Very creepy build of supernatural events once Chase Blaine and his family arrive back at his ancestral home. Hixson and Boyd’s presentation of the black, gooey masses are also disturbing.

| Published by Vault

Queen of Bad Dreams #5 concludes this excellent series from Danny Lore, Jordi Pérez, Dearbhla Kelly, and AndWorld Design. Rather interesting confrontation with and revelations about Eleanor Chase here.

| Published by Vault

Red Goblin: Red Death #1 is a one-shot featuring three stories set during Norman Osborn’s tenure as the Red Goblin at the end of Dan Slott’s run on Amazing Spider-Man. It’s kind of weird that it doesn’t instead tie-in with current events in Absolute Carnage, but it’s not bad for what it is. The art of the first two stories from Pete Woods is great.

| Published by Marvel

Relics of Youth #2 is even better than the first issue, delving deeper into the mysterious tattoos that the kids have been branded with and their connection to the island that they’ve landed on within the Bermuda Triangle. Matt Nicholas, Chad Rebmann, Skylar Partridge, Vladimir Popov, and AndWorld Design are telling a very compelling adventure here.

| Published by Vault

Roku #1 begins another mini-series focusing on one of the luminary villains in the Valiant Universe, this one from Cullen Bunn, Ramón F. Bachs, Stéphane Paitreau, and Dave Sharpe. It’s full of action and intrigue as Roku is hired by an unknown client to retrieve...someone. Things get more interesting as a new face stands in her way and we find out the unusual nature of the target.

| Published by Valiant

The Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer #1 is a homecoming of sorts for John Constantine, back to his old haunts alongside some of the other Vertigo corner of the DC Universe. Si Spurrier, Marcio Takara, Cris Peter, and Aditya Bidikar spin a yarn that reconstitutes John after a massive magic war led by an evil Tim Hunter. How exactly the pieces fit are anyone’s guess, but it’s a brilliant darker take resetting him here. 

| Published by DC Comics - Black Label / The Sandman Universe

Savage Avengers Annual #1, though largely a self-contained story, is still integral to Conan’s adventure through the Marvel universe and the overall narrative as he, Hellstorm, and Black Widow stumble across a human trafficking ring that bears the marks of Kulan Gath. Gerry Duggan, Ron Garney, Matt Milla, and Travis Lanham deliver a compelling story.

| Published by Marvel

SFSX #2 does further world and character building, showing us just how much has changed since the Party took over, and how utterly betrayed many of the people from the Dirty Mind felt of Avory abandoning them. Very interesting stuff from Tina Horn, Michael Dowling, Chris O’Halloran, and Steve Wands.

| Published by Image

Silver Surfer: Black #5 concludes what has been a very trippy series from Donny Cates, Tradd Moore, Dave Stewart, and Clayton Cowles. There are some very interesting revelations of the past here, and it really makes you wonder about the Surfer’s new incarnation.

| Published by Marvel

Star Pig #4 concludes the series, kind of, from Delilah S. Dawson, Francesco Gaston, Sebastian Cheng, and Shawn Lee. There’s some rather disturbing tentacles in this one.

| Published by IDW

Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader’s Castle #5 brings an end to this round of the series. I think it’s a perfect approach for some all ages “ghost stories” within the Star Wars universe. Wonderful resolution for the framing story from Cavan Scott, Francesco Francavilla, and AndWorld Design.

| Published by IDW

Tales from the Dark Multiverse: The Death of Superman #1 is the second of these one-shots spotlighting DC events gone horribly wrong, this time giving us a much angrier Lois Lane’s grief at the loss of Superman to Doomsday. Jeff Loveness, Brad Walker, Drew Hennessy, Norm Rapmund, John Kalisz, and Clayton Cowles present her as vengeance against a world that didn’t deserve Superman’s grace, raising some of the questions that you’d often see in The Authority. Only, you know, kind of evil. It’s not bad, but definitely dark.

| Published by DC Comics

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #99 is the extra-sized penultimate chapter of “City at War” as all of the pieces begin falling into place for the grand finale. The story here from Kevin Eastman, Bobby Curnow, Tom Waltz, Dave Wachter, Ronda Pattison, and Shawn Lee feels truly epic and that something huge may just happen next issue. As it is, there’s still a ton of action here, some interesting developments with the Rat King, more disappointment when it comes to Raph, and something new with the mutagenic bomb.

| Published by IDW

Test #5 is very strange. Christopher Sebela, Jen Hickman, Harry Saxon, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou end this story as Aleph and Laurel find one another and a new way is planted, but there’s still seeds of something going awry.

| Published by Vault

Venom #19 largely plays out the end bits for the Maker and Dylan’s portions of Absolute Carnage, with some very interesting revelations. It seems like even bigger seeds are being lain for future stories here. Great art from Iban Coello and Rain Beredo.

| Published by Marvel

Witchblade #16 gives us the fight between Alex and Haley, after a few distractions and discursions. The stakes are pretty high here and there are a few rather tense moments as it plays out. Beautiful art from Roberta Ingranata and Bryan Valenza.

| Published by Image / Top Cow

Wonder Woman Annual #3 is largely a flashback tale, set five years ago as Wonder Woman and ARGUS attempt to extract an agent sent to infiltrate Gorilla City to see the legitimacy of Grodd’s rule. What Steve Orlando, V. Ken Marion, Sandu Florea, Hi-Fi, and Pat Brosseau do with is establish a new backstory and interpretation for a very old Wonder Woman foe in a fairly interesting way that even ties in to Event Leviathan. It may strain a bit of credibility for the villainous turn, but that will largely depend on the follow-up.

Joneses - 20.7 Double Trouble

Joneses - 20.7 Double Trouble - Kori and Kaleb give Jared a run for his money, and he can't wait until they're done with these phases.

Kaleb and Kori weren’t very twin-like, but when they were…oy. They had their own friends, hobbies, and personalities. They barely hung out together. But, when one went through something, the other did too. Lately, they were both in a mood. They moped around the house, were distant, sensitive, and snapped a lot. Jared and Asia may have been old pros at the parenting thing, but the twins through…

Joneses - 17.11 Sage Advice - Jared tells Kaiden a story about his brother in hopes that Kaiden was find the advice hidden in it.

Later on that night, Kaiden found his father watching TV in the living room. Though he didn’t want to eat alone, he certainly did not want another lecture. Especially not after his dad threatened his life last night. He would understand if he were still upset; he hadn’t exactly been son-of-the-year lately.

“That’s a pretty nasty rash, son. You take anything?”

“I’ll take something later.”

“You…

Joneses - 18.8 Fear

Joneses - 18.8 Fear - Mary cannot understand the fear that strickens her when Reed asks her out. Asia has a simple solution.

“Reed, I’ve had a long day, and I’m exhausted. I don’t have time for this.”

“Great. I’ll save us both the trouble. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at 8:00.”

“What?”

“I will be at your doorstep promptly at 8 p.m.” he said slowly.

“But, I didn’t–”

“Goodnight, Mary Jones. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

He didn’t used to be so pushy! Having his heart broken made him so bold and persistent. What on earth was…

Joneses - 17.5 Troubled Kaiden

Joneses - 17.5 Troubled Kaiden - Asia tries to talk to Kaiden again to see if he'll tell her why he's so troubled.

“Good morning, Mr. Sweet Face.”

“Hey.”

Poor Kaiden. He sounded so gruff and listless. What happened to her joyful little boy? Why had life beaten him down so much? She knew what it was about but between her personal feelings and his attitude each time she broached the subject, she wasn’t sure how to talk to him about it. Her Mr. Sweet Face wasn’t as sweet anymore. Hopefully, it was just a phase.

Joneses - 17.9 Death Wish

Joneses - 17.9 Death Wish - Kaiden is getting a bit too comfortable sassing his mother, and when Jared finds out? Oh boy!

The Pruett children didn’t usually hang out together. Kaiden spent his time either working out or in the clutches of Breanne with an occasional break. Kori liked to stay on top of her schoolwork. Kaleb…well, honestly Asia wasn’t quite sure what he was into yet. Lately, he had been working out a few times a week, but whether he actually enjoyed it or was just trying to be like his father and…

Asia was stoked to finally meet the woman who captured her son’s attention so quickly. He had been talking about her ever since he moved out. Part of her hesitated to be happy for him as this all happened so suddenly, and he was so young. But, when she thought about her relationship with Jared in their teens, she remembered how serious young love could be sometimes. Was Fernanda the one for…

Joneses - 17.2 Bring It - Asia reflects on her life and is so ready for the next stage of life and all the adventures it'll bring.

“Ugh,” Kaleb groaned. “You’re cooking again?”

Kori huffed. “Hey! When you grow up alone with no one but a cat to cuddle up to, you’ll wish you learned to cook too!”

“Why are you so dramatic?”

Asia heard the twins fighting all the way upstairs; she thought they were so funny. They were the most un-twin-like twins she ever met. She thought they would grow up close and be each other’s best friend,…

“I heard you, were not on your best behavior last night, mister.”

“You’re not smiling your way out of this one. I’m very disappointed.”

“And you, Mr. Sweet Face. You were supposed to be responsible.”

“Me? He left Kolby in charge!”

Jared chimed in. “You sat there and let him trash the place.”

“You keep laughing down there, missy. I heard your behavior wasn’t so stellar either.”

Jared had finally finished his rocket a few weeks ago and was able to go on space missions on his own accord. He was grateful because the extra missions greatly increased his value, and every time he turned around it seemed he was getting promoted again and again. He’d be a space ranger in no time!

“Daddy?”

“Yes, Kaleb?”

“Did you have any pets when you were little?”

Oh no. I hope this isn’t going where I think it is. “We had fish.”

“No, like a real pet!”

Jared laughed. “Fish are real pets! You have to care for them and make sure they don’t die.”

“Ok, yeah, but I mean like a dog or cat.”

“We only had fish, son.”

He went back to his dinner and hoped that would be the end of the pet talk.…

23.8 Growing Up

23.8 Growing Up - Jared gets Kaiden to tell him about what's been going on and learns he is not his little boy anymore.

It took Jared a while to realize his son behaved oddly. He said barely three words before stuffing his face repeatedly with fruit salad. The sight gave Jared a chuckle as that was more his brother’s behavior.

Kaiden’s eyes danced around the room, focusing on things he never cared about before like the new artwork and blinds. When would those kids learn they couldn’t hide anything from their…

[storiesbyjes2g]

Asia was never one to keep up appearances like the other neighbors. She was a simple woman from humble beginnings with simple tastes. It wasn’t until she married Jared and moved into the Pruett Estate that she began to learn about style and glamor. Still, grandeur was not her thing. When they moved out and bought their current house, she maintained the grand style because she thought it was best. It’s what Jared grew up with, and she wanted him to feel comfortable in his new home seeing as how it was the first time he had ever lived anywhere. However, as time passed and their family grew and created its own identity, she felt like the style didn’t fit anymore. But, she didn’t have any ideas for how to make it their own. At least, not until she visited the Pancakes house. The twins’ rooms were so bright, vibrant, and…so modern. If their classically glamorous home could rock such a contemporary style, the Pruett house definitely could…and probably even better.

She was so excited when she awoke that morning, she could barely contain herself. Surely the family assumed she was simply happy to be among them–and that was true–but she was looking forward to them all disappearing so she could get to work.

“How does it feel to be a teenager?”

“Feels great, dad.”

“Have a great day, honey! Be safe up there.”

Finally, they were gone. Well, most of them. Kaiden got a free day, and he spent it in the basement trying to catch up with his dad.

The first thing Asia did was finish her bar. She added some counters, a sink, a refrigerator, and some shelves for all her bottles. And, she painted the entire room to fit her color scheme. The boys are going to love it.

The fridge is in the alcove behind the stairs.

Next, she moved to the dining room. She always thought it was so stuffy and too traditional. Giving it a modern overhaul was the highlight of her day.

Next, she updated the living room and the entryway. Much like the dining room, she thought the living room was also stuffy and traditional. She made it over into a fresh, contemporary, comfortable space.

Keeping their expenses in mind, she’s not done yet and doesn’t want to go overboard. Maybe next time we’re in this house, it’ll be complete!

Joneses - 11.7 Keeping Up With the Joneses...and Pancakeses - After visiting the Pancakes' house, Asia was bitten by the remodeling bug. Asia was never one to keep up appearances like the other neighbors. She was a simple woman from humble beginnings with simple tastes.
