<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writer:</b> Ron Marz</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> Laura Braga</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will Sara reclaim the Witchblade? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Top Cow:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Is the Witchblade out to reclaim Sara as its rightful host...or is it out for revenge?</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first arc of the new creative team comes to a close and it does so in a very explosive way. The encounter between Sara and the Angelus was inevitable though well worth the wait. Calling this an exciting issue would be an understatement as the encounter between these two Witchblade wielders made for extremely entertaining reading.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since returning to the series Ron Marz has reminded me of why I loved the character in the first place. He's also made this opening arc extremely new reader friendly as having missed the last few arcs prior to this I was personally happy to easily jump into this one. With this issue in particular however Marz gives a dynamic conclusion to Born Again with the dialogue and action being very dramatic throughout. Though obvious he also ends the arc in a brilliant manor allowing even newer readers to flow smoothly into the next issues anniversary story.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura Braga has been the true gem of this creative team with the artist consistently producing phenomenal artwork. The way that she's able to give intense and exciting action sequences in a smooth and sleek style is truly breathtaking with it's dynamic flow also being captivating. She also does a terrific job of giving intensity to the Sara/Angelus encounter with the facial expressions throughout adding a lot of drama and realism. Added to this we have yet more wonderful colours from Betsy Gonia with her vibrant pallet giving the perfect finishing touches to a perfect issue.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Witchblade's first arc under the creative team of Marz and Braga ends on a high with the explosive and intense events being mesmerising. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today marks 75 years since the first appearance of Batman in the pages of Detective Comics #27. Since then he has become a world wide name and my personal favourite superhero. Due to this it would be bad if I didn't at least give a mention about the Caped Crusaders big day and though it may also be Mothering Sunday it's definitely also the day of the Bat.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Thoughts</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been very wary about this latest film version featuring the heroes in a half shell as with Michael Bay producing it could either be brilliant or disastrous. Following this trailer I'm still not completely swayed as to believe that this will be excellent, but it has shown some whit and humour giving some promise. One thing I can say is that I look forward to seeing it either way.</span></div>

I however am very excited for this upcoming film and after seeing this trailer I am even more so.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Thoughts</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love these kind of trailers as though they don't really give a lot of premise or set-up they also don't allow your expectation to go into over gear, simply teasing you (hence the term teaser). Having not read the comic that this film is based on I'm not overly sure on what to expect but one thing I'm sure about and that is that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnston will be awesome as the legendary demigod.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writer:</b> Matt Hawkins</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stjepan Šejic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will a issue without any narrative be good? Read on to find out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Image:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“DANGERS OF THE DESOLATE ZONE”</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The ninth issue of APHRODITE IX finally reveals what the numbering system really means. Plus, Aphrodite XV’s design and build reveals more about Aphrodite IX’s future—and her past—than she could ever anticipate.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aphrodite IX is a series that I truly can’t get enough off, and though there may be a few series that I say this about Aphrodite IX is one of the few that validate this reason the most. The sheer scope of the series is breathtaking with Aphrodite IX’s struggle for the truth giving a very humanised tone to what is otherwise a tremendous sci-fi series.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Matt Hawkins is taking a bold step with this issue by making it his first issue to have now narrative whatsoever. Now there are many writers who have do this on a regular basis so why dose this class as bold step. It does so as Hawkins is a writer renowned for his tremendous narration, being very outspoken for his reasoning of using it so frequently. Hawkins does however prove that he can write a story void of narrative with this being a smooth flowing exciting and emotional development point for Aphrodite IX. Hawkins also introduces more characters related to Aphrodite IX with the speculation of what will happen next having me more than excited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stjepan Šejic never fails to produce immense artwork on this series and his new style has really grown on me over the last few issues. The sheer detail of his art is simply outstanding with the crisp lines and intense layout giving a smooth flow to the story. Šejic also shows intensity in many other forms as besides the layouts the powerful facial expressions and energised action sequences also inject plenty of intensity. Despite all this it’s still the vibrant and glossy colours that I love most about Šejic’s art with this in particular being a plus to his new style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hawkins and Šejic continue to give us amazing issue after amazing issue and with this series crawling to it’s finale you’d be a fool to miss a single issue. Highly recommended.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Top Cow:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>BORNE AGAIN</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Even without the Witchblade secured to her wrist, Sara Pezzini cannot escape the corrupting influence of the gauntlet.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Witchblade has been going from strength to strength as of late, with the return of Ron Marz giving a terrific twist to the story whilst also retaining the classic Witchblade feel. This story itself also gives mystery and excitement and with the introduction of a villains along with the speculation of what might happen it is definitely a good time to be a Witchblade fan.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ron Marz yet again gives a exciting and intriguing script, as although he didn't manage to match last issue he still managed to amaze. The only real trouble I had with Marz' script in this issue was that he was trying to do too much, with the pace being a little to quick. In saying that the character dialogue along with the overall tone remains brilliant, with the passion that he shows in Sara's attempt to get her job back adding some tension and drama as well. Marz also does a terrific job of teasing the future of this series, with the mysterious nature of the Witchblade adding a lot of suspense.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura Braga has been one of the best new talents to have entered comics over the last few years with her Witchblade art never failing to impress. The sheer detail and style of Braga's art is simply amazing and added with her smooth layouts it gives a vibrant feel to the issue. Braga also shows the intense moments perfectly with the characters facial expressions, and especially Sara's giving a lot of tone and realism to the story. Combine all this with the equally fabulous colours from Betsy Gonia and the artwork of Witchblade is something you'll love time and time again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Witchblade continues to astound as despite the fast pace it managed to show great characteristics as well as tease the future of the series perfectly. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Has Punisher found his new best friend? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Marvel:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>For years, The Punisher has waged a war on crime in New York City with an array of very large guns, but a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more has set his many sights due west. NOW! Frank Castle's in the City of Angels, looking to give the devil his due. Things aren't all they appear, though, with a highly trained military hit squad hot on Frank's tail. Caught between a posse of Punisher predators and targets of his own one-man-war, Frank's manifest destiny may be a shallow grave!</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're seeing the Punisher go down a very different route than he normally does in this series, and although this may have ruffled the feathers of some fans I myself think it's been a brilliant development. The way that Punisher is getting out and about and being less of a brooding character has been fantastic, as although you don't want him going too far in the opposite direction it's realistically be hard to operate out of L.A. otherwise.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nathan Edmondson continues to give is the kind of dark and mysterious series that Punisher needs, with his tactical approach taking making Punisher deadlier than ever. What has intrigued me the most however is the way that Edmondson shows Punisher as a character, as during this issue and the last we see a more carefree nature, with the act of taking in a coyote being something I don't think he'd have done a few years ago. On top of this Edmondson continues to build a lot of suspense with the Howling Commandos and the new-old villain who appears at the end adding a lot of tension.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mitch Gerads has been simply killing it with the art on this series, as despite being initially sceptical about how he'd fare I have to say I'm gladly surprised. The roughness along with the layouts gives a lot of depth and definition to this take on the Punisher. Gerads also gives us yet more explosive action with the characters reactions and facial expressions also adding a punchy tone. I did however question the decision to give Frank the kind of mask he was wearing in this issue, as despite the fact that it may not have been Gerad's fault rather Edmondson and that he needs to keep his face hidden due to his more outgoing stance, I thought it looked rather stupid.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Punisher continues to amaze me and with the villain who appeared during the cliffhanger I for one will definitely be rushing to get the next issue. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writers:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amanda Conner & Jimmy Palmiotti</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chad Hardin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What will Harley get up to on Valentines Day? Read on to find out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from DC Comics:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>It's Valentine's Day, and Harley is getting depressed watching happy couples walk by. Will a special gift from Poison Ivy turn things around for Harley?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So far Harley Quinn has been a very fun series, giving the kind of energetic alternative that the New 52 has needed for a while. Due to this it' the perfect series to tell a Valentine's story during, and given Harley's recent experience with heartbreak there is a lot of possible ways this story could have gone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti give us a simple yet another amazing one-shot story, with these quick tales being enjoyable to read. There is however a small part of me that wishes that there'd be more of a continuous structure, as despite there being the continuous threat of the bounty that's on Harley's head, it appears to be quite random. Though in saying that this is rather fitting for Harley. Conner and Palmiotti also utilised the Valantine's theme perfectly, utilising Poison Ivy's cameo from last issue in a subtle yet effective way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chad Hardin's art on this series has been simply amazing and one of the things that I've enjoyed the most. The sheer detail of Hardin's art is simply wonderful, with his unique and smooth flowing layouts giving depth and tone to this quirky story. Hardin also showed the emotion and excitement in this issue perfectly as well, with both the characters facial expressions and the action giving some definition. Combine all this with the splendid colours from Alex Sinclair and this is a comic that visually should please everyone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A fun Valentine's story that'll appeal to any Harley Quinn fan with it also having it's usual lively tone. Highly recommended.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having been a huge fan of the original film I was both excited and sceptical when they announced a reboot. Initially my expectations were relatively high (as expected), but as more and more news came out I lost faith along the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can however put all that to one side now, as having finally seen the film I can make my final judgement. I’ll start off by saying that this is a completely different film, and I mean completely. The concept is the same, but the story, feeling and tone of the film is completely different. Due to this it’s slightly hard to review this film, as on the one hand there’s the film as a stand alone feature, and on the other there’s the comparison to the original.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking the viewpoint of a stand alone instalment this was overall very good film, having some epic moments. It is however not without it’s faults, with it’s main one being the lagging first hour. Like most I enjoy good story build-up, but in this film they went a little over the top. Fair enough the emotional tone means that there needs to be some degree of story depth, but at the same time it could’ve easily been cut down by at least 15 minutes. Going from negative to positive, the action was definitely worth the wait, with RoboCop showing a more tactical approach that gives an intense and exciting result.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Comparing it to the original gives a completely different response. RoboCop himself had a lot of changes, as despite there being references to the original he was overall quite different. In the original he was devoid of emotion from the start, regaining it along the way. In this film however he retains emotional function, with it not being removed until a considerable time later. I personally preferred this, as it gave more depth and resolve to the character, but this was probably one of the few changes I enjoyed as a fan. One of the changes I disliked was the suit, as although the black suited the bike, I overall prefer the silver with black trim. Despite all this the overall comparison doesn’t ruin the film and there are things that’ll appeal to long time fans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Casting choices can make or break a film, though in this case it had a fairly neutral effect. The leading role of RoboCop was filled by relative unknown Joel Kinnaman, as despite not surpassing Peter Weller he did do a great job of giving the character depth needed for this story. The rest of the cast consisted of quite a few well known actors with Michael Keaton playing OmniCorp CEO Raymond Sellars, Gary Oldman playing Dr. Dennett Norton (the scientist who invents RoboCop) and Samuel L. Jackson as a TV presenter named Patrick "Pat" Novak. All these big named did a great job, but it’ be Oldman how’d do the best, as he showed the characters frustration brilliantly. The overall best performance came from Jackie Earle Haley as Rick Mattox, proving to be the perfect rival for RoboCop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The big up point for this film had to be it’s CGI. This was the only reason that RoboCop needed a reboot, as despite the dated special effects from the original not being bad, I’d be nice to have a slicker more futuristic look, and we definitely got that. Everything technological wise looked amazing, with everything from the drones to the ED-209’s having an impact. The thing that impressed me the most however was the way they showed Alex’s lack of body outside the RoboCop suit, and along with Alex’s reaction this gave a great insight into just how much this character has lost.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RoboCop is overall a decent reboot, as despite not being anywhere near the same league as the original there are some moments that will appeal to fans of the original. Due to this it gets a recommendation, but don’t have your hopes too high.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writer:</b> Robert Kirkman</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charlie Adlard</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Has this war taken it’s toll on Rick? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Image:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>“ALL OUT WAR,” Part Seven</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>In the aftermath of the unthinkable.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All Out War finally shifted up a gear last issue, and although it remains as interesting as ever, it has dropped back down to it’s normal pace. Following Rick’s collapse last issue there is the question of how big a strain this war has had on the groups fearless leader, with the developments of this issue giving an interesting twist for the groups dynamic.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Robert Kirman yet again delivers a script that is both interesting and realistic (if zombies existed of course). There is however a part of me that’s getting a little bored of this war, as despite it being constantly good, I feel like it’s dragging at times. In saying that Kirkman does give some brilliant character development, with the sudden change in Rick’s attitude being especially interesting. Added to this the development of Negan’s side and there’s still promise. Despite that I still think it’s time that this story pushes towards the end, with Rick and Negan fighting to the death.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charlie Adlard once again does a spectacular job on the artwork in this issue, with his style never failing to impress me. The layout of Adlard’s art along with the emotion that he adds during the character interaction is simply magnificent, giving a very realistic and dramatic tone to the story. Adlard also manages to adjust the tone perfectly throughout the issue, with his scenery giving a lot of depth to the devastating events. As ever Adlard’s art was accompanied by the fantastic inks from Stefano Gaudiano and the amazing grey tones from Cliff Rathburn, with the final look being perfect as usual.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All Out War is dragging on a bit for me, with it’s only saving grace being the wonderful character depth. Despite that this is still a great issue which I fully recommend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writers:</b> Scott Snyder & </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">James Tynion IV</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who is Bluebird? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from DC Comics:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>A new story that flashes forward to the upcoming weekly series BATMAN ETERNAL! This special issue, written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion with art and cover by Dustin Nguyen, will provide a peek at </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>what's to come in the weekly series, with glimpses at some key characters in the series.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Zero Year has been a terrific story so far, but in saying that it's nice to get a break from this long story. And what better way than by getting a sneak peak into the Batman event of the year: Batman Eternal?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV give us yet another Harper Row centred story, with her now being a part of the Bat-Family as Bluebird. This was inevitability, and the fact she's now Batman's official partner only strengthened her as a character. Added to this the fact that she's her own unique hero, alongside her fantastically designed costume and I for one look forward to seeing more of this new Dynamic Duo. The story itself also had a lot of suspense and drama, but besides Bluebird's revelation it'd be the shock ending that'd catch my attention the most in this issue.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well known Batman artist Dustin Nguyen took over art duties for this issue to allow Greg Capullo more time to work on the next part of Zero Year. Now I've always enjoyed Nguyen's Batman art, as despite some of his other work being less appealing he usually delivers on Batman. This was no different here, with his style giving a dark and intense tone, whilst his layouts gives some structure and impact. Nguyen also adds yet more intensity through the facial expressions, which also give a realistic tone to the interactions.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This glimpse into Batman: Eternal is nothing but a big tease, and if nothing else will make you want to give this issue a try the shocking ending certainly will.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writer:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charles Soule</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Javier Pulido</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She-Hulk is back, but is this a series fitting to the character? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Marvel:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>JENNIFER WALTERS IS…THE SHE-HULK! A stalwart Avenger, valued member of the FF, savior of the world on more than one occasion, she's also a killer attorney with a pile of degrees and professional respect. A 7-foot-tall drink of cool, emerald water, she's tough enough to knock out Galactus with one punch (possibly?) and has a heart bigger than the moon. But juggling cases and kicking bad guy butt is starting to be a little more complicated than she anticipated. With a new practice, a new paralegal and a mounting number of super villains she's racking up as personal enemies, She Hulk might have bitten off a little more than she can chew…but she just calls that that Tuesday.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She-Hulk is one of my favourite female characters, as although I've never read any of her solo adventures, I've enjoyed her appearances along side her cousin Bruce Banner (aka Hulk) and the Fantastic Four.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charles Soule has created a lawyer based series that can rival Daredevil any day, utilising his experience as a lawyer perfectly. Soule gives us an entertaining opening issue that is both fun and gripping. The way that he makes light humour of legal jargon is simply amazing, and along with the fantastic dialogue this adds a lot to the overall tone of the issue. The issue was however not quite perfect, as despite being fun and enjoyable the story flew by rather quickly, with the lack of actual action during Jen's robot fight being a little annoying. I still however feel that this will be the kind of series that Jen needs, and look forward to reading more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've never been the biggest fan of Javier Pulido's work, but his quirky style actually suits this fun tale. The layout of Pulido's art simply astonished me, as it had a very unique feel, helping the story to flow smoothly. The thing that I loved the most however was the way that Pulido managed to make Jen look like the powerful character she is, as despite not showing her quite as the physical specimen she usually is, she still looked like a lady you wouldn't want to mess with. Added to this the fantastic colours from Muntsa Vicente and I can easily see myself becoming a fan to this style of artwork on this series.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She-Hulk gets off to a terrific start, being both fun and entertaining. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is this one-shot a must read for RoboCop fans? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from BOOM!:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>WHY WE LOVE IT: With the release of RoboCop, a re-imagining of the all-time classic, fans of the new and old will be immersed in the action, oppression and humanity that is RoboCop. We cannot wait to be first in line for this new motion picture event!</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Four anthology-style one-shots exploring the world of the new film, brought to you by some of the freshest voices in the industry -- Joe Harris (GREAT PACIFIC), Frank Barbiere (FIVE GHOSTS), Ed Brisson (SHELTERED), and Michael Moreci (HOAX HUNTERS).</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>WHAT IT'S ABOUT: RoboCop is too good at his job. While the people love him, his ability to find and remove corruption puts fear into the corporate heads and government leaders. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>With OCP at the wheel, they will do their best to steer him away from the powerful corrupt leaders, and keep him on the lower-level criminals. But some crimes cannot go unpunished.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was a huge fan of the original RoboCop film, and despite it's sequels not being quite as good I also liked them. It was this that had me excited about the reboot film's release and although I haven't watched it yet I'm glad that BOOM! Have made comics based around it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joe Harris gives us a interesting and unique tale for RoboCop, but unfortunately it's let down by it's overall pace. Pacing is a problem that a lot of one-shot stories have, as due to their limited page count there isn't a lot of room for suspense and development. Harris did however create an emotionally compelling tale, that shows the corruptness of certain people. There is also some exciting action, and intense interactions, but unfortunately this isn't enough to make up for the awkward and sudden flow of the story.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Piotr Kowalski's artwork is very good, with there being little to fault it on. To start off the layout of Kowalski art gives a terrific cinematic feel to this tale, with the explosive panels being a joy to mull over. I did however have mixed feelings on the facial expressions, as despite adding a lot of drama and realism to certain panels, there were others that looked a little awkward. This however has little effect to the overall art, and along with Vladimir Popov wonderful colours this is some of the best art I've seen on a RoboCop comic in a while.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RoboCop: To Live and Die in Detroit has some positive features, but it's overall briefness takes away from the lasting effect. This issue does however still squeeze through with a recommendation.</span></div>

The trailer shows the Guardians in action for the first time, as well as introducing them for non-fans, in a mugshot line-up style.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Thoughts</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having not been a Guardians of the Galaxy fan at the time I was very sceptical when this film was initially announced. That however has changed, as sine following the current comic series from launch I have became a huge fan of this diverse team. I'm now even more excited about this upcoming film, with this trailer rising my expectations. I do however still have partial scepticism over certain cast choices, but overall I have a good feeling about this film and look forward to August 1st.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writer:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marguerite Bennett</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meghan Hetrick</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is "Daughter" like Father? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from DC Comics:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Who is The Joker's Daughter? What horrors lurk in the mind of this deranged lunatic, and why is there more to her than meets the eye? More than just a crazy person who stumbled upon The Joker's face, more than just a woman with a mission, The Joker's Daughter sees herself as a woman on the path of greed, dominance and lordship over the Gotham Underground. This special issue tells a sordid tale in the life of one of DC's most popular new villains!</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been avoiding reading anything Joker's Daughter, as despite the Joker connection drawing me in, the fact the character was being written by Ann Nocenti put me off. Thankfully however Batman Annual #2 writer Marguerite Bennett wrote the script for this issue so I could finally check this character out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marguerite Bennett has proven to be a very talented new writer, having done a terrific job of both the Batgirl Zero Year tie-in and Batman Annual #2. Bennett's storytelling was probably the best part of this issue, with the monologue from Joker's Daughter adding a lot of depth to the story. Bennett also showed how unlike fellow Joker worshiper Harley Quinn, this girl is much more disturbed, having a very mixed up sense of purpose. Added to this the brilliant pacing and intense character interaction and I'd gladly read more stories featuring Joker's Daughter, as long as Bennett was writing them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meghan Hetrick's artwork was also amazing, suiting the tone of Bennett's script perfectly. The detail of Hetrick's art was simply outstanding, being very consistent, having little to no imperfections. Hetrick's layouts were also very dynamic, giving a natural flow to the story as well as a lot of impact to the action sequences. Added to this the symbolic nature behind some of her layouts along with the realistic tone that the facial features add and I'd be very happy read more comics featuring Hetrick's artwork.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joker's Daughter is a refreshing alternative to the usual Batman stories, giving a nice introduction for people who're trying the character for the first time. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Writer:</b> Geoff Johns</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Artist:</b> David Finch</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can Batman and Lex Luthor get along for the greater good? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from DC Comics:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>With everything to lose, Lex Luthor and his Injustice League raid the stronghold of the Crime Syndicate with consequences so devastating, the DC Universe will never be the same!</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel very much like a broken record when it comes to talking about Forever Evil, as despite it always being good it has yet to transcend into the category of greatness. This however isn't a bad thing and the fact that the series remains strong is what really matters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Geoff Johns has really started to give some great developments over the last couple of issues, and the series is definitely starting to show promise for further progression. What I loved most about Johns' writing in this particular issue was how he handled the interaction between Lex Luthor and Batman, with the attempted coexistence being extremely entertaining. There is also some amazing action and suspenseful build-up throughout, all of which adds to the overall quality. Added to that the defining notion that even on the side of good, evil still rules and the series' concept just becomes better and better.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">David Finch's artwork throughout this series has been nothing short of wonderful, and it continues to amaze me yet again. The terrific layouts along with the dynamic action make this a breathtaking issue, which is both exhilarating and intense. Finch also adds a lot of depth and tone through the facial expressions, with his art helping to increase the tension during the Batman/Luthor interaction. Added to this the brilliant inks by Richard Friend and outstanding colours from Sonia Oback and the final finish to this issue is simply astonishing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Forever Evil continues to be a success and with the dramatic dialogue and explosive action this is a series that everyone will enjoy. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Marvel:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>WOLVERINE NO MORE? After the events of KILLABLE, Wolverine has something to prove. Before he can take on Sabretooth again, he'll need to build himself back up, get better and stronger than he's ever been…but it's not as easy as he thought, and he'll soon find himself turning to other means of revenge when the normal channels don't seem to be working fast enough. Can he fight back his demons, or is this the beginning of a Wolverine who's gone to the dark side? </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last series of Wolverine can be summed up in one word, mediocre. It's due to this that I had questionable expectations from this new series, as with Paul Cornell continuing to write Logan I was dreading that this new series would land up being exactly like the last.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paul Cornell continues to makes changes to Wolverine, and in the process creates a very intriguing storyline. In saying that there is still a lot of similarities between the two series, as despite all the promise and speculation it was still slightly slow at times. Cornell did however add a lot of intensity to certain sequence, and added with the mysterious storyline this gives a big advantage to the series. The thing that interested me the most about this issue was the change in Wolverine's attitude, with this somewhat bad guy change giving an unique tone to the series. Added to that the fact that he doesn't appear to be under any mind control and this change makes the series all the more enthralling.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ryan Stegman's art never fails to please, and much like it was the best thing about the launch of Superior Spider-Man it's the best part about this series launch. Stegman's style is so diverse and lively that you can't help but mulling over the pages, with his fantastic layouts making it a smooth and pleasant read. The new armour for Wolverine also catches the eye, as although I've not made up my mind whether I prefer this new look or not, it's certainly very modern looking, giving more style to the old blue and yellow.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This new series of Wolverine gets of to a decent start, and although I'm not sure just how good this series will becoming, I'm sure it won't be as bad as the last.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is Widow doing the right thing? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Marvel:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Finely Woven Thread - PART 3: "FOLIAGE" She's the kind of woman you call when you need to escape from a South American prison. Don't miss the book everyone is talking about (and it isn't even out yet!)</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've really been enjoying Black Widow so far, as it's been a very exciting and energetic series, that shows the character at her full potential.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nathan Edmondson continues to give a terrific espionage story, which is something that a Black Widow centred series needs. Edmondson also continues to develop Widow as a character, as although she's been around for a long time, we're still learning new things about this deadly spy, with this series showing a more questionable side to her. This adds a lot to the depth and tone, and at the end of the day her key characteristics are shown perfectly, which is what really counts. The most intriguing part of this issue was near the end, with a discussion between Widow and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Maria Hill showing promise of a proper story arc.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Phil Noto's art was once again wonderful, as despite the odd rough panels it was still amazing. Noto also continues to give a very smooth and energetic flow to the series, with his colours as usual adding the perfect final tone to the series (for the most part). Despite all this I was actually ever so slightly disappointed with Noto's art in this issue, due to the rough panels, and it's obvious that the short time frame between each issue has caught up with him. I do however not blame Noto for this, and now that the series is on a monthly schedule I'm sure he'll be back to his high standards throughout every panel.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Black Widow continues to be a exciting and explosive series, and although the art wasn't quite as good in this issue it was sill amazing. Highly recommended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What will Frank get up to in L.A.? Read on to find out.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The official description from Marvel:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>For years, The Punisher has waged a war on crime in New York City with an array of very large guns, but a lead on a major source of drugs, weapons, and more has set his many sights due west. NOW! Frank Castle's in the City of Angels, looking to give the devil his due. Things aren't all they appear, though, with a highly trained military hit squad hot on Frank's tail. Caught between a posse of Punisher predators and targets of his own one-man-war, Frank's manifest destiny may be a shallow grave!</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been looking forward to this series for quite some time now, as following the end of Greg Rucka’s run comics haven't been too kind to Frank. This new series however looks to change all that, putting the Punisher back into the kind of environment that he thrives in.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nathan Edmondson gives us a story that is very suited for the Punisher, with it also being very new reader friendly to non-Punisher fans. Edmondson showed the difference between Punisher and the rest of the Marvel Universe perfectly, and I especially enjoyed the line, " because everyone isn't afraid of the Avengers." as it revealing that the people of L.A. are more afraid of the Punisher than they are of actual superheroes. The issue was however not quite perfect, as despite setting the perfect tone it's still a little rough around the edges, and will need a little bit more development before reaching it's full potential.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mitch Gerads' artwork was also amazing, as despite being a little rough for my usual taste it was simply perfect for this series. What I especially loved about Gerads art was the explosiveness of it, as the action sequences were very energetic, feeling like something out of a movie. Gerads also did a really good job of both the characters facial features and the layouts of the issue, with the latter adding a lot of intensity and the former capturing the story's tone perfectly. On top of this Gerads cover was also spectacular, with the symbolism of an urban jungle being perfect for the Punisher, especially considering he's moved to L.A.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Punisher gets off to a terrific start and if it continues like this I will be a very happy fan. Highly recommended.</span></div>
