Suicide Squad #3

Suicide Squad #3 DC Comics 2021 Written by Robbie Thompson Pencilled by Eduardo Pansica Inked by Julio Ferreira Coloured by Marcelo Maiolo Lettered by Wes Abbott Don’t miss this crossover with Teen Titans Academy! Task Force X finds a new target, and it leads the clandestine team right to Teen Titans Academy. The devious and driven Amanda Waller continues her quest to form a more powerful Squad, and next on her list: the Titans’ new speedster, Bolt. But when the mysterious Red X gets in the way, he becomes Waller’s next target. I still don’t like the angry black woman that Amanda has turned into, she’s proven herself time and time again that she’s smart and his this uncanny ability to manipulate people and is a master strategist so she has nothing to be angry about and no one prove herself to. Also I don’t understand why she hates Connor so much just because he’s a clone of both Lex Luthor and Superman. That being said I’ll continue with my review. While this issue is about Waller getting Bolt back onto the Squad she’ll have to contend with a lot more than she bargained for in that regard as well as the fact that the team is as fractured as can be. I am enjoying the way that this is being told. The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is presented extremely well. The character development is interesting and it’s nice to see some names that are familiar like Nocturna and Talon while Keymaster is new and if there’s some connection to the original Key i’d be interested in learning it. I still want to see more characters who are known in the DCU being utilised. The pacing is superb and as it takes us through the pages revealing the twists & turns along the way we get to see more and more about these characters. I like how we see this being structured and how the layers within the story are continuing to play themselves out. With Nocturna using her powers on Superboy and revealing his condition and Peacemakers idea that he’s in charge continue to change the shape of the books dynamic. How we see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is achieved extremely well. The interiors here continue to impress me. This is old school goodness with a penciller and inker who together make this killer linework bring out the detail work through the varying weights and techniques. The only thing i wanna see are more backgrounds utilised a lot more effectively, during fight scenes would be more ideal than all the colours that we see. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a remarkably talented eye for storytelling. The colour work is phenomenal and how the various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work show someone who understands how colour can be utilised to its utmost effectiveness. I am surprised that this takes place outside Titans Tower considering the last issue Teen Titans Academy shows them all inside the building. We need to make sure that the appearances add up or follow one another more realistically. Don't get me wrong the idea here is much better than seeing them in the Tower going after her but it bugs me that the two are so vastly different. Plus while we know Bolt took place in some missions before joining the other kids at the Academy it would be nice if we knew why Waller was so hellbent on getting her back. She isn’t a villain nor is she inclined to be one, we’ve seen that much already, so if Waller wants a Speedster then I’m sure there are others out there that would be much advantageous to her. When its all said and done this version of the Suicide Squad has the intrigue and interest factor that readers really want to see. I’d like to see more known villains instead of making up new ones, the new ones are more disposable I suppose. Still this is fun and i’m enjoying the dynamic between the characters and I’m dying to know why this Superboy doesn’t know who he is or what his life was like before Waller.

Writer: Nick Spencer Artist: Marcelo Ferreira Colors: David Curiel Letterer: VC’s Joe Caramagna

Release date August 12 2020 Review by D. Brown (wolfcypher)

Spider-Man’s latest arc has seen the resurrection of a baddie who hasn’t been around for a long time, and after a great prelude special and a modest enough proper first issue, let’s see where the momentum will take us in our latest installment of Sins Rising. I’ll open my review with my opinion on the art.

It’s funny. For our site, I’m the go-to ASM and Venom review guy. I’ve made it no secret how much of a fan I am of Iban Coello and Mark Bagley’s art, and both men were the artist of the current Venom and ASM arcs, specifically their 1st chapters. Moving on to our second issues for each arc in their respective titles, both books see these artists being replaced by different pencillers. You can check out my review of Venom #27 to find out how I feel about that over there, but here, having lost Bagley and moving forward with Marcelo Ferreira isn’t too bad an adjustment at all. The art here looks great and definitely suits a Spidey book. I’m also a sucker for when artists draw the expressive “eyes” on Spider-Man’s mask…you know, how Spidey’s lenses flair up and widen or narrow depending on his reactions. Every panel Ferreira draws is stuffed with so much going on, its almost too much action in just one box. I feel his art is really at its best when he gets to do wider and larger panels, but its still a testament to how much he can cram into the smaller panels without sacrificing any major details.

Nick Spencer is shaping the Sin-Eater to be a veritable threat. The issue sees Sin-Eater let loose on Count Neferia and his crew during a presentation at ESU. Even with Spider-Man on the scene, there’s nothing anyone can do to stop the Sin-Eater from going through with this mission to “murder” the villains, and considering this was once just a normal man in a balaclava, his handling of all these superpowered Lethal Legionaries helps with the upsell. It doesn’t feel like we’ve crossed that bridge too far with Stan Carter yet. Everything we’ve seen him do sells him as a real threat to Spider-Man. As one civilian in the book calls it, he’s the Punisher with super-powers. His agenda is winning over the people of New York, much to Spider-Man’s chagrin. Its hard for Spidey to wrap his head around the approval the Sin-Eater’s methods are receiving, but its what’s happening to the Sin-Eater’s victims after their deaths that Spidey should really be flustered about. Even with knowing what happens to his targets after he’s shot them down, the end of this book has me feeling like we may have seen a casualty I wasn’t expecting to lose.

Final Thoughts

I really have no idea how any of this is going to tie into Spencer’s Kindred story anymore. This issue really cements the idea that this is just its own story, independent of whatever Spider-Man’s bigger mystery villain has in store. I’m not seeing what it is that connects the two, besides Kindred being the one to revive Stan Carter and supercharge him with his supernatural enhancements. Even with that said, this issue has a lot going for it. Whether its a bigger piece of an unfinished/still-ongoing work of art or maybe it’s its own tapestry, it’s shaping to be a fine design.

8/10

off the rack #1242

Monday, December 24, 2018

I was hit by a spasm of back pain on Saturday like the ghost of Christmas Past. That'll teach me for being such a Scrooge this time of year. I try not to be naughty but being nice is such a pain in the pants. I am slowly recovering under the gentle ministrations of Santa's Helper. Being around family and friends is better medicine than any pain pills I could take. My brother and sister-in-law hosted a brunch yesterday and seeing everyone together laughing and happy soothed me greatly. Just holding baby Oliver and making him smile eased my back pain.

I saw the Ottawa premiere of Aquaman thanks to my Jee-Riz partner Chris, who won passes from the comic book store Myths, Legends and Heroes. I can sum up how I felt about the movie in one word; wigs. I wish they had spent some of the Atlantis special effects budget on better wigs for the actors. Arthur's dad's toupee was glaringly obvious. I've seen better hair on Cosplayers than Nicole Kidman's wigs. It looked like Amber Heard/Mera was wearing a wig at times but even when it looked like her real hair the colour red they chose was too unnatural looking. The movie's saving grace for me was Jason Momoa. He makes a great Arthur/Aquaman. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this one.

Ugh. Stan Lee tribute covers. Terrible marketing idea.

Dead Man Logan #2 - Ed Brisson (writer) Mike Henderson (art) Nolan Woodard (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). A couple of things really annoyed me this issue. Sin, the Red Skull's daughter, acted like a spoiled brat. It's not a stretch to foresee the villains losing at the end of this 12-issue story. Then we have Forge repairing a machine that can get Old Man Logan back home. They actually go there and he doesn't stay. I'm for super heroics as much as the next nerd and maybe I'm selfish, but that irked me to no end. Old Man Logan has been whining about getting home ever since he showed up in this timeline and now he wants to stay to prevent all the super heroes from being killed by all the super villains. There isn't even a guarantee that is what happens in the future. And why don't they use the machine to fix things? Man I hate time travel. I really like Mike Henderson's art but this looks like another travelling super heroes versus super villains battle every issue, and that's not very interesting to me.

Defenders: The Best Defense #1 - Al Ewing (writer) Joe Bennett (pencils) Belardino Brabo (inks) Dono Sanchez Almara (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). It's the big Defenders reunion to save Earth. Old Man Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor and the Silver Surfer have to sidetrack The Train in order for Earth to survive. It's a bit complicated and I'm surprised that you didn't really need to read all the one-shots to get what's going on. I mean all those scenes where the stabby killer in the bed sheet is killing aliens isn't even mentioned in this story. So what was up with that?

Marvel Knights #4 - Vita Ayala & Donny Cates (writers) Joshua Cassara (art) Matt Milla (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Here's where they explain why all the super heroes have forgotten who they are. T'Challa/Black Panther is featured in this issue that ends with him discovering the lair of villains. I'm wondering how the bad guys retained their memories.

Old Man Hawkeye #12 - Ethan Sacks (writer) Francesco Mobili (art) Andres Mossa (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). That was a very satisfying ending. What a great prequel to the Old Man Logan story where Clint and Logan go on a road trip. This is where Clint loses his sight for good. I loved the last page epilogue showing Clint tracking down someone who will help him to continue to fight the bad guys despite his blindness.

Runaways #16 - Rainbow Rowell (writer) Kris Anka (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). Reading this Christmas special is better than getting a lump of coal. Having Doombot as a dinner guest made this a treat. I wish he was a regular member of the team.

West Coast Avengers #6 - Kelly Thompson (writer) Daniele Di Nicuolo (art) Triona Farrell (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). The good guys have been captured by the bad guys: Satana Hellstrom, M.O.D.O.K., The Eel and Madame Masque. Kate is still free however and she's not going to abandon her team mates. Too bad she gets waylaid on her way to rescue them. Her captor is a complete surprise, which will make the next issue a hoot.

Thor #8 - Jason Aaron (writer) Mike del Mundo (art) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). This is an awesome issue with Thor fighting the Angelus. It ends with an ex-Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. being paid a visit by the Black Panther. I like how this book is being tied into The Avengers.

Season's Beatings #1 - Jason Latour (writer) Greg Hinkle, Chris Brunner, Veronica Fish & Mario Del Pennino (art) Rico Renzi, Jim Campbell & Veronica Fish (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). I should have realized from the cover that this was a Deadpool Christmas Special. If I had known, I would have bought a pair of socks from the Dollar Store with the $4.99 US that this comic book costs. Unless of course, you're a big Deadpool fan or West Coast Avengers fan or even an X-Force fan. They're all in here too. Plus Squirrel Girl and Doctor Doom. Come to think of it, this is an everything but the kitchen sink gift for a Marvel Comics fan who will get a few chuckles out of it.

Freedom Fighters #1 - Robert Venditti (writer) Eddy Barrows (pencils) Eber Ferreira (inks) Adriano Lucas (colours) Deron Bennett (letters). This is some heavy duty patriotic poop right here. We start this 12-issue story in 1963 America that is ruled by Adolf Hitler and his "ratzi" party. The original Freedom Fighters meet to plot a resistance attack on a war robot factory. Things don't go well for the good guys. Jump forward to 2018 and the surprise appearance of the New Freedom Fighters; Black Condor, Doll Woman, the Human Bomb and Phantom Lady. All we need is Uncle Sam. Robert Venditti holds nothing back showing the Germans as ruthless racists. The art is really well done so I will give these Golden Age heroes a chance to see how they fare in modern times.

Middlewest #2 - Skottie Young (writer) Jorge Corona (art) Jean Francois Beaulieu (colours) Nate Piekos (letters). A new character named Jeb is introduced who helps Abel get out of a bind. Jeb reminds me of the first time we meet Gandalf. Abel's quest continues and we find out a bit more about the symbol on his chest. I predict he'll meet his mother down the road but unlike the talking fox, I won't be travelling down it with him.

Cover #4 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) David Mack (art) Michael Avon Oeming (Owen art) Zu Orzu (colours) Carlos Mangual (letters). This issue is a great example of how a comic book can tell a story with words and pictures. I felt like I was watching a TV show or a short film. Brian, David and Michael work together seamlessly

Hardcore 1 - Robert Kirkman & Andy Diggle (writers) Alessandro Vitti (art) Adriano Lucas (colours) Thomas Mauer (letters). Yeah man, it is. Agent Drake is a drone pilot but what he controls are other human beings. A new nanotechnology allows him to take over and move a remote body for 72 hours so he can complete wetwork missions. It's really cool. The big problem arises when the guy who invented the tech comes back to reclaim it from the government. That guy is not asking nicely. I like this concept and the predicament that Agent Drake finds himself in at the end of this issue. Therefore, this goes on to my "must read" list.

Klaus and the Crying Snowman #1 - Grant Morrison (writer) Dan Mora (art) Ed Dukeshire (letters). This $7.99 US one-shot tells the tale of how Sam the snowman helps Klaus save the Earth from murderous aliens. I loved how they wove in Norse mythology. You'd think a crying snowman would be doomed in the end and you'd be right, but fear not, 'tis a happy ending.

Betty & Veronica #1 - Jamie Lee Rotante (writer) Sandra Lanz (art) Kelly Fitzpatrick (colours) Jack Morelli (letters). The BFFs are back with a 5-issue mini that starts off their senior year of high school. I know that these slightly more mature Archie Comics want to draw in a new audience but Betty dating Reggie? Sacrilege. A few other things bothered me storywise that turned me off even more. Betty drinking a spiked punch without noticing? C'mon. Then there's the art. I didn't like the interiors compared to the nice cover that Sandra drew. I expected my girl Betty to be treated better than this.

Catwoman #6 - Joelle Jones (story & art) Laura Allred (colours) Josh Reed (letters). The finale of "Copycats" is a quick read so I read it twice. The first time was to see how Catwoman deals with the evil Mrs. Creel and her pumped up on drugs son. The second time was to see Catwoman in action and to savour the beautiful art and layouts. I wish Joelle Jones would do a Betty & Veronica mini.

Extermination #5 - Ed Brisson (writer) Pepe Larraz (art) Marte Gracia (colours) VC's Joe Sabino (letters). I tolerated this time travel tale because of the amazing art. I wish Pepe Larraz would do a Betty & Veronica mini. If you thought that the mutants being exterminated was a real threat then you haven't been reading X-Men comic books for very long. This story puts the young X-Men back in their own time and all is well again. The big surprise comes on the last page and I'm thinking "oh geez, here we go again".

Domino #9 - Gail Simone (writer) David Baldeon & Michael Shelfer (art) Roberto Poggi (ink assist) Guru-eFX (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). Soldier of Fortune part 3. The ladies are asked to kill Longshot. Haven't seen him in a while. Might not see him for long though, since he's supposed to bring about the end of the world. This is interesting because both Domino and Longshot have the same super power. Who's luck is going to run out first?

Firefly #2 - Greg Pak (writer) Dan McDaid (art) Marcelo Costa (colours) Jim Campbell (letters). Mal and Zoe are being hunted by a gang of thieves and the Alliance. Darn tootin' there's going to be shootin'. I have been watching Nathan Fillion's new cop show The Rookie and I quite like it.

Batman #61 - Tom King (writer) Travis Moore (art) Tamra Bonvillain (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). Knightmares part 1. The "what the!?" appearance on the last page of #60 is explained here as a new story starts. I knew something was hinky when I saw the string of pearls around the dead body of Martha Wayne in the alley. I thought we were in an alternate universe and we sort of are but it came as a complete shock when what was going on was explained. Arkham Asylum is getting a new inmate. At least he's new to me unless I want to go back and read Batman #38.
