Green Arrow #44 cover by Alex Maleev
I'm not advocating drugging race horses, but it's an oddly out-of-place crime in this narrative. Green Arrow #44 art by Javier Fernandez and John Kalisz Javier Fernandez contributes some stunning artwork to this book and composes some ambitious layouts on many of the pages They allow for high-energy and flowing sequences that really add something to the[...]
Green Arrow #43 cover by Alex Maleev
Green Arrow should have a team around him, and Ollie has cultivated quite the team over the years. The Citizen is an interesting and unnerving villain, and it has the potential to be among the more interesting takes on internet culture that Big Two comics have had in some time. Green Arrow #43 art by Javier Fernandez[...]
Jimmy's Bastards #9 cover by Andy Clarke and Jose Villarrubia
It doesn't seem like the kind that demands a sequel, but it conveys that Garth Ennis and Russ Braun aren't 100% committed to closing the book on Jimmy's Bastards. Jimmy's Bastards #9 art by Russ Braun and John Kalisz Speaking of Braun, the artwork stays strong through the finish Even if the gore gets a little uncomfortable[...]
Red Hood vs. Anarky #1 cover by Rafael Albuquerque and Dave McCaig
Anarky #1 art by Javier Fernandez and John Kalisz Javier Fernandez and Hugo Petrus deliver solid artwork with plenty of memorable panels and well-sequenced action Jason's mask looks as intimidating as ever, and Anarky gets some good panels too John Kalisz is the color artist on this one, and he gives a good, darker palette that[...]
Jimmy's Bastards #8 cover by Andy Clarke and Jose Villarrubia
John Kalisz keeps a well-balanced color palette and even manages to balance out the tons of red in this book. Jimmy's Bastards #8 delivers the action-packed goods while setting up for the finale well Ennis and Braun have created a unique beast with this one, and I'm excited to see how this nihilistic and comedic take[...]
Batman: Detective Comics #980 cover by Alvaro Martinez, Raul Fernandez, and Brad Anderson
The duel they share in this comic would steal the spotlight if it weren't for Spoiler. Batman: Detective Comics #980 art by Scot Eaton, Wayne Faucher, John Kalisz, and Allen Passalaqua Scot Eaton's artwork is solid and does justice to Batman and his associates The Omac's look great especially Batwoman is drawn a little lanky with her[...]
Batman: Detective Comics #979 cover by Alvaro Martinez, Raul Fernandez, and Brad Anderson
The interplay between Tim and Ulysses is interesting, but it doesn't hide how little actually happens in this installment. Also, the sequencing gets way too cute at times, and it becomes difficult to follow the flow. Batman: Detective Comics #979 art by Philippe Briones and John Kalisz Philippe Briones' artwork is largely good with figures looking great and[...]
Batman: Detective Comics #978 cover by Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira, and Adriano Lucas
It's a mystery story to which we already know the solution, and it is mostly getting its pieces into place for the grand finale to "Batmen Eternal." It's far from a bad issue, but it doesn't have as much going on as most of the other installments of the title. Batman: Detective Comics #978 art by[...]
Jimmy's Bastards #7 cover by Andy Clarke and Jose Villarrubia
You also get to see the endlessly put-upon Nancy open fire on some smug and rich bad guys. Jimmys Bastards #7 art by Russ Braun and John Kalisz Russ Braun's artwork is up to the task, showing an ability to well-depict subtle emotion and brutal violence in equal measure Plus, the puppy is damn cute John Kalisz's[...]
Batman: Detective Comics #977 cover by Alvaro Martinez, Raul Fernandez, and Romulo Fajardo Jr.
I genuinely am unsure who will live and die in this story—with the exception of Batman, of course. Batman: Detective Comics #977 art by Eddy Barrows and John Kalisz Eddy Barrows, Javier Fernandez, and Eber Ferreira split the art of this issue, and the three of them bring their own style of the dark and oppressive world[...]
Batman: Detective Comics #976 cover by Eddy Barrows, Eber Ferreira, and Adriano Lucas
It tries to get just a little too cute for its own good, but this isn't a common problem throughout the book. Batman: Detective Comics #976 art by Javier Fernandez and John Kalisz Javier Fernandez's artwork is great It's heavily shaded and shares some similarities with Greg Capullo's work Fernandez skews more towards realism than Capullo, which[...]
Jimmy's Bastards #1 Review – Will This Book Upset SJWs or Alt-Righters?
It's this, along with John Kalisz's nigh on primary coloured, pop, world, that serves The Boys comparisons even stronger It's also this that actually also helps the humour land so well. NSFW //colourful chimp clowns – what about this isn't brilliant? It was actually the humour that I'd initially had the biggest issue with on this book, because[...]
