Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 is good as part of the story but doesn’t stand on its own

Posted on September 16, 2023 by Brett Leave a comment

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights. Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 is interesting and delivers actions and surprises but doesn’t feel like it stands on its own to be enjoyed.

Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is a dialed back issue that feels more like a play than superhero comic

Posted on June 17, 2023 by Brett

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment-and even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights. Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is an intriguing issue that feels a bit like a courtroom drama.

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment – and even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights – so now he’s in the sights of the deadly Deathstroke!

Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 feels like a courtroom drama

Posted on June 14, 2023 by Brett

Written by Spencer Ackerman and Evan Narcisee, Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is an intriguing issue. The action is little but the tension is high. In it, we see Waller making more moves as she props up the nation of Gamorra but then is detained by Jackson King who is now Inspector General. The comic turns into a back and forth between the two as Waller sets out her vision and motivations while King pushes back at its corruption and a failure of their organization. The result is a comic that feels more like a stripped down play than superhero action on a grand scale. While the two’s actions will shape the world, the focus feels like a stage debate.

The micro focus of the issue adds importance to the art by Jesús Merino. Merino is joined by Vincente Cifuentes on ink, color by Michael Atiyeh, and lettering by Dave Sharpe. The lack of big scenes and lots of action makes the focus on body language and facial expressions that much more important. It also means when there is action, it has to be tense and a big deal. The team nails it all with an issue whose visuals are full of emotion to match the debate.

Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is an intriguing issue that keeps things focused and on a small scale in a way. It has far more in common with dramas than action but leaves readers wanting to know more as the issue builds to a solid finale.

Animal Castle Vol. 2 #2 (Ablaze) – The series has been a fantastic adaptation and take on the classic Animal Farm.

Battle Chasers #10 (Image Comics) – After such a delay, Battle Chasers is back after a Kickstarter promising its return. Joe Madureira isn’t providing art so without that, such a long time, and more, will the return be worth it?

The Ghost of Kyiv #1 (Tokyopop) – The war propaganda gets a comic series. It’ll be interesting to see how this gets spun.
