Fort Psycho #1 is an awesome start and delivers a fantastic ending that you won’t expect

Posted on by Leave a comment

Ten years ago, the nation of Singapore sank into the Pacific Ocean. The underground terrorist network known as the Seven Seals took credit for the largest act of terror in human history. In the aftermath, the United Nations created a strike team of highly trained covert operatives with one mission: locate, identify, and eliminate the Seven Seals’ secretive leader. The team’s clandestine affairs were to always remain in the shadows—until their final, explosive confrontation resulted in a large-scale tragedy too bloody to cover up and too tragic to ignore. Disgraced and disavowed by the governments that trained them, the world’s most dangerous secret agents have been convicted for their crimes and sentenced to serve time side by side in the one place capable of holding them: their old island headquarters, Fort Cyclone—now known in the media by the derogatory nickname “Fort Psycho.” And that’s where the official story is about to go terribly, terribly wrong . . .

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7 is an electrifying issue

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7

There is nothing like friends you can count on. Those are the ones close to you whose bongs are really tested. Those tests show how close you really are. We find our truest friends through trials. Not everyone in your life are individuals you can count on. Sometimes you’re the most reliable one in your life. In Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7, Marc assembles his friends for a new Midnight Sons!

The Midnight Sons make their presence known! With Moon Knight’s closest allies, the Midnight Mission, ensnared in the gullet of an interdimensional relative of their living headquarters, Marc calls on Clea, Blade, Ghost Rider, and Daredevil to form a new incarnation of Marvel’s occult operators.

Jed MacKay continues his epic Moon Knight run and has this new version of the classic team taking on the dragon Ginarr and Achilles Fairchild! It’s a solid issue that fans of the characters and the overall concept of the team will get excited for.

The art by Devmalya Pramanik with color with Rachelle Rosenberg and lettering by Cory Petit is amazing. The page layouts pop, it’s a comic where you linger to stare at every panel and every page.

Overall, Marc Spector: Moon Knight #7 is an electrifying issue. The story by Mackay is white-knuckle. The art by the creative team is spectacular. Altogether, it’s a story that shows why the Midnight Sons long deserves to be on the big screen.

What If…? Captain America #1 is a thrilling and fun one-shot

Posted on by Leave a comment
What If...? Captain America

As a comic book fan who grew up in the 80s and 90s, I felt I had the best of both worlds. I grew up knowing who Frank Miller and Alan Moore were. I also grew up during the Modern Age, where the comics industry became very commercial. The juxtaposition gave my reading very diverse experiences.

The Modern Age gave us the world of 2099. It showed us how our favorite characters would exist in a different age, one where the heroes that we know have disappeared and a new generation arises. It gave us Miguel O’Hara, Spider-Man 2099, new X-Men, Ghost Rider, Doom, and more. Some became more popular than others and some have an impact on comics and entertainment today. Marvel has been having fun exploring their What If…? line with new one-shots celebrating the classic series. In What If…? Captain America, written by Marc Guggenheim, we find out what would happen if Steve Rogers woke up on Earth-616 in 2099.

We find Steve, woken from his icy sleep 154 years later, in 2099, at the dawn of a new age of superheroes. It’s a different world run by corporations, much different than the one Steve knew. Found by the anti-pollution corporation, ECO Central, Steve is greeted by Miguel Ohara, Wolverine, Ravage, Ghost Rider, Cerebra, and Skullfire. It’s a fun use of the “classic” characters, some helped define the world of 2099. But, this is a world that’s the antithesis of what Steve believes and he has to do something about it.

The comic captures Captain America well and the inclusion of so many of the 2099 characters is a lot of fun. The art by Ron Lim, with color by Andrew Dalhouse, and lettering by Clayton Cowles looks good balancing the old and new and being a bit brighter than what I remember of the original 2099 comics.

Overall, What If…? Captain America is a fun one-shot. The story by Guggenheim is thrilling. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether it’s a story that rocks and a lot of fun to read.

Chachu #1 is a fantastic issue and if you like detective/noir stories, don’t miss this debut!

Posted on by Leave a comment

1979. Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl, stands on the cusp of adulthood, eager to experience the “real world” for the first time. With a head full of Hollywood dreams and a penchant for pulp novels, she ventures to California to connect with her estranged uncle—her “Chachu”—a middle-aged, semi-retired private eye who gained brief fame after marrying the starlet he was initially hired to find. But when Chachu’s wife goes missing once again, the two are forced on an impromptu road trip to track her down—with Leila navigating young adulthood and Chachu confronting his own mortality and regrets.

Crescent Moon Marching Vol. 1 is a solid debut that’s just a fun and inspiring read

Posted on by Leave a comment

Mizuki has never played a musical instrument. She’s never marched in time with a group (it’s harder than it looks!). And she’s never spent time on school activities when she could be studying. But after leaving behind her high-stress high school in Tokyo and moving to small-town Akita with her aunt, she’s looking for a fresh start. And when she crosses paths with Akira, a cute-but-grumpy trumpet player who introduces her to their school marching band, this may be just the chance she needs to take a leap and find herself.
