“War of the Bounty Hunters” was all about reintroducing Qi’ra, last seen in “Solo:  A Star Wars Story,” into the “Star Wars” universe post-”Empire Strikes Back.”  She was now heading the criminal organization known as Crimson Dawn and was planning on selling Han Solo (still in carbonite) to the highest bidder to announce its return.  […]

Val, Emory, and Bailey didn’t just make it out of the sanctuary alive and with some crucial information about how to bring the light back to the world at the end of the last volume.  Additionally, they met up with some of Val’s friends from Outpost 41 and now they’ve got a proper convoy to […]

Jace Fox got his hands on a high-tech Batsuit at the end of the previous volume and we get to see him use it here to take out some bad actors who have infiltrated a demonstration against the police.  It doesn’t go as well as he expects, but he escapes and gets to design his […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Dark Web #1 Yup, it’s another Marvel event.  It’s not one of the big line-wide ones, however, just a smaller crossover between some characters who haven’t been interacting all that much in recent years.  I’m talking about Spider-Man and the X-Men who are coming together to take on a threat that has bedeviled […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Lazarus vol. 7 I know what you’re thinking, “They’re still publishing this?”  They certainly are even though I can’t blame anyone for letting this title fall off their radars.  Pandemic plus Quarterly Publishing Schedule hasn’t done Greg Rucka and Michael Lark’s future dystopia series any favors.  I’m glad to know that we’re finally […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Tales From Earth-6:  A Celebration of Stan Lee I’m putting this here for the sheer nerve it represents.  Next year would have been Stan Lee’s 100th birthday and DC is getting the jump on Marvel in celebrating it.  How?  The only way they can:  Revisiting the “Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating the DC […]

You’d think it’d be enough trying to follow up one era-defining Marvel run, while also managing multiple creator-owned titles, for Donny Cates.  As you can see here, it’s not.  After following up Jason Aaron’s legendary run on “Thor,” he’s now taking up the reins on “Hulk” from Al Ewing.  (Who, coincidentally along with Ram V, […]

There is rot in the valley.  First it came from the Bandit King, whose reign of terror cowed the hearts of many, save five who sought the power to defeat him.  Power that came from the martial arts teachings of a lone master who taught them aspects of his art under the condition that they […]

The Ohm Corporation controls all the power in the future and they’ve just come under attack.  It’s holo-A.I. CEO Mr. Karloff has unleashed Sam, a superpowered combat robot, into Ohm Tower to fight his way through the possessed threats representing various forms of energy at each level.  He won’t be doing this alone, however, as […]
