Review: Robyn Hood: The Hunt #3

Robyn has escaped the prison walls, but is now on the run in the dangerous jungle surrounding it. Hunted by her enemies and the deadly Executioner, she must find her way to freedom, but she will need to survive first.

New Found freedom comes with a price in Robyn Hood: The Hunt #3, as Robyn’s enemies and prison guards are on her tail.  Even the jungle itself seems to be against her, as writer LaToya Morgan throws deadly creatures at her as well. There’s some that are familiar, and some not so much. I’m curious to see how she survives and will she find herself going back the prison in the end?

The art by Daniel Mainé shifts as the environment shifts. Through small details it is revealed the jungle around the prison is just as deadly as the prison itself. The new location brings in a new color palette of greens, blues, black, and browns that suit the jungle.

Review: Robyn Hood: The Hunt #2

Things go from bad to worse for Robyn. Not only is she trapped in a maximum security prison with her deadliest enemies but the Warden has passed his own sentence on her…and his verdict is death.

It seems even surrounded by enemies, Robyn has a few allies in Robyn Hood: The Hunt #2. Writer Joe Brusha reveals who really wants her dead along with revealing that the same people are visiting the next day. This forces Robyn to trust her cellmate, as they plan an escape. That of course means fighting for their lives to do so. Lots of action to come is set up.

The issue increases the number of fight scenes for artist Daniel Maine to have fun with and it all pushes the plot forward. Each fight scene seems to have some purpose and reveals small secrets about Robyn’s imprisonment. Main creates both well-flowing panels along with the needed story telling.

I’m curious to see how things shift in the upcoming issues as the comic moves into the escape portion of things.

Who’d Get Superman Off Death Row? That’d be The Consultant.

Out December 6 from Action Lab: Danger Zone, The Consultant is a new series from writer Jason Sterr, artist Daniel Mainé, and a cover by Simon Fraser.

Lets face it, while superheroes do a lot of good, power corrupts and the people we “look up to”, do some pretty twisted things. People with power have dark secrets too and the trick his hiding them. Enter, Marcus Greenberg, that’s where he makes his money. There’s no story he can’t kill, no sin he can’t bury, no witness he can’t disappear. He is the go-to-guy for making super sins fade away. So, if you have a problem that can’t be bought, if no one will help you bury the body, if you can afford him, then maybe you can hire The Consultant.

The Consultant blends superhero comics with a different narrative that looks at the lucrative fallout of super-powered hissy fits in the middle of New York. For the fan that typically avoids capes and cowls, The Consultant draws your apprehensions into center stage and broadcasts them for the world to see.
