Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Umbrella Academy Plan B #5 (Dark Horse) – At this point, Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba are throwing a flurry of story darts on the board, and some of them actually stick in Umbrella Academy Plan B #5. This book succeeds in the quiet moments like Vanya being tempted by the white violin again, or Allison using her Rumor abilities to empower her daughter. The stuff with multiple dimensions, aliens, and a bloated ensemble cast doesn’t work so much, but it’s par for the Umbrella Academy course. Ba and Dave Stewart get to indulge in some hazy cosmic jive thanks to the Sparrow Academy’s spaceship being stolen, and the ensuing showdown should be interesting. Maybe, this is a series that will read better in collected form without the long gaps between issues. Overall: 7.4 Verdict: Read

Archie #2 (Oni Press) – Ben H. Winters, Fabio Moon, and Jason Wordie execute a nigh-perfect slice of life story, moral and all in Archie #2 from an opening triptych layout from Moon to a last sweet moment of possible redemption. Honestly, Archie stories are at their finest when he’s utterly hapless and not an apex of perfection, and that is exactly what Archie #2. Also, Winters and Moon nudge the fourth wall just slightly hinting at a future where these eternal teens are not so eternal. In addition to the main story, we get a delightfully weird/noir-ish Jughead strip, a look at the various domiciles of Riverdale, a gorgeous Veronica pinup, and even a maze activity. The Archie/Oni partnership continues to go swimmingly. Overall: 9.0 Verdict: Buy

Alien vs X-Men #2 (Marvel) – Now this is what you call a crossover! Kieron Gillen and Gerardo Borges go beyond xenomorphs vs mutants and throw in a whole bag of tricks featuring time travel, face huggers, power absorption, and much more. Several scenes include a strict grid layout and smart plans from leaders like Beast and Professor X, but of course, it all goes splat. The Brood backup from Chris Claremont and David Messina is just plain weird, but we get a peek into the mental world of the xenomorphs. Overall: 8.4 Verdict: Buy

Hello Kitty and Friends: Hello World #3 (IDW) – Even more items go missing in the third issue of Hello Kitty from Mariko Tamaki and Cody Lemieux. I love that this comic’s layouts look like a scrap book or the snapshots that its protagonist takes. Also, Tuxedo Sam’s anxiety is relatable, and I love how dapper he is. This issue feels a bit like padding, but it’s still cute and charming. Overall: 7.8 Verdict: Buy

Big Shakedown #2 (Dark Horse) – Big Shakedown gets seedier and seedier in its 2nd installment as Ester chases a lead with the pornographers, and Tim Seeley, Jordan Blum, and Scott Koblish give us more glimpses at her tragic past. Ester is a messy character, and she acts through sex and violence. The latter especially gets brought to life through the power of Koblish’s pencils as she pummels her way through the Beverly Hills sinkholes. But The Big Shakedown #2 isn’t all action digging into Ester’s psyche and ethics and giving us someone to connect with as well as a completing mystery. Overall: 7.9 Verdict: Buy

Satanic Panic #1 (Mad Cave) – Satanic Panic was just the gruesome comic book treat I needed for Halloweek. Matt Miner, Clay McCormack, and Oliver Mertz tell a story of othered outcasts fighting piece of shit jocks, but with several devilish twist and turns. Protagonist Naz is a total badass, and I want to be them when I grow up. Satanic Panic has creepy 80s B-movie vibes, but with better politics. It doesn’t skimp on the blood, gore, and punk rock though. Overall: 8.6 Verdict: Buy

Mini Reviews: Tales of Wonder #1, Crowbound #1, Dungeon and Dragons: Total Party Killers #2, Archie #1, Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1, Legion of Superheroes #1

Batman/Superman/Weird Al World's Weirdest #1

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Tales of Wonder #1 (Image) – Cartoonist Steve Skroce simultaneously takes the piss out of the superhero industrial complex and (literally) flexes his artistic muscles in drawing those kind of characters in Tales of Wonder #1. The story centers around Stu and Jake who are basically Stan Lee and Jack Kirby if they were still alive. Paraplegic Jake keeps it close to his chest with grumpy humor while Stu won’t shut up. (The scene where he praises his collaborators while Skroce covers up his art with giant word balloons is priceless.) However, Tales of Wonder is far from a grounded story, and it shines brightest when it indulges its genre elements. Ugly American is kind of an amazing name for a 90s edgy jarhead superhero, especially since he’s created by a Canadian. Overall: 8 Verdict: Buy

Crowbound #1 (Image) – Crowbound is another beautiful collaboration from Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen. It’s centered around the relationship between a mother and daughter in a stark post-apocalyptic hellscape. Boldly opening with the mother Rose’s death, Lemire and Nguyen take us back in time to show key moments in her and her daughter Ava’s lives. Dustin Nguyen’s use of negative space unpacks the sadness of the comic with pops of color acting as reminiscences of happy times. Crowbound is definitely a downer of a read, but fits our hard times and has some glimmers of hope too. Overall: 8.6 Verdict: Buy

Dungeon and Dragons: Total Party Killers #2 (Dark Horse) – To use a bad pun, I think this issue killed my interest in this series. Christopher Hastings and Denis Medri focus more on expanding DnD Total Party Killers’ cast of characters and locations instead of giving us an interesting story to follow or characters to root for. (I do love the slime and baby eye.) The art is colorful, and there are some cool moments, but no real coherence. Overall: 5.8 Verdict: Pass

Archie #1 (Oni Press) – Ben Winters, Fabio Moon, and Jason Wordie take the World’s Most Popular Teenager back to his slice of life roots in Archie #1. Moon definitely elevates the material with his energetic art, and his flair for the dramatic comes in handy in the second of the three short stories in this comic about a film festival. Winters also knows Archie is supposed to be a funny comic and litters his script with zingers and character-based comedy. Jughead was definitely my favorite in this first issue, and he gets a solo story to wrap up the book where he comes to grips with the ghost of character development. But, yeah, this is classic, supermarket checkout Archie with slicker visuals and a touch of self-awareness. For now, there’s no deconstruction going on. Overall: 8 Verdict: Buy

Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1 (DC) – I think the superhero comics genre may have peaked when Weird Al fought Mr. Nobody with a fifth dimensional accordion. Co-writer Mark Waid’s Yankovic-esque parody of the John Williams Superman theme was brave and bold, but I’m curious what Grant Morrison could have done with the material. But, seriously, Weird Al and fifth dimensional imps are match made in Heaven, and Dan Schoening and Fico Ossio’s art capture the wackiest of vibes. This comic book is life changing, and it’s AI art’s personal kryptonite. Now it’s time to “Eat It”. Overall: 10 Verdict: Buy

Legion of Superheroes #1 (DC) – In Legion of Superheroes #1, Joshua Williamson, Hayden Sherman, and Tamra Bonvillain try to find hope in a dystopian future through its youth. A fragment narrative structure offers glimpses at familiar faces like Brainiac 5, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl, and the always hilarious and quite badass Matter Eating Lad. However, they’re separated by laws, different planets, and their own demons. Sherman’s visual vision of future superheroics is intriguing: nostalgia meets something new. Their trademark spiral layouts works for this kind of hop along story. I think I’m invested in the fate of the Legion like I am with the college kids I work with. Overall: 8.5 Verdict: Buy

Archie #1 sticks with what works for a fun debut and new start for the classic characters
