[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Batman #37 from DC Comics by Tom King, Clay Mann, Jordie Bellaire and Clayton Cowles is a book that astonishes purely in that it is not what I would ever be expecting to get out of a Batman story It's bright, sweet, light-hearted, and filled with humour Yes, that's right — all these things[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Batman #36 from DC Comics by Tom King, Clay Mann, Seth Mann, Jordie Bellaire, and Clayton Cowles starts a new arc — one that actually makes for a fun jumping-on point for new readers, too.

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Mystik U Book One from DC Comics by Alisa Kwitney, Mike Norton, Jordie Bellaire, and Deron Bennett presents a different look at the mystical characters of the DC Universe: re-setting them as college students at a secret magic university. For those sticklers of continuity who would point out that Zatanna has been seen as an[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Batman #33 by Tom King, Joelle Jones and Jordie Bellaire marks the first issue in a new arc after the game-changing proposal, or rather it's answer, from the last issue. Batman and Catwoman are engaged For some reason, this engagement has led them to a desert country that is so marred by war and criminality,[...]

He says he almost never has to leave artist Jordie Bellaire notes on art Why did they choose the title? It's simple, really: because it's fun. Alison Sampson has a hit with Winnebago Graveyard They put a big emphasis on tone, color, and brightness The book tells stories with symbols, alluding to occult without being explicit[...]

And here, we learn that the original appearance of Groot in Marvel history is definitely not forgotten. All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #9 artwork by Mike Hawthorne, Terry Pallot and Jordie Bellaire There's also a surprising reveal in the last page of the issue Now, my knowledge of classic history of the Guardians characters is spotty in[...]

Here, Thompson does a similar thing very well. Hawkeye #10 artwork by Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire The artwork from Leonardo Romero and Jordie Bellaire is really strikingly beautiful in its seeming simplicity The fact is, it's probably not simple at all The smooth line work is clearly very deliberate, and the colours add a wonderful amount[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Redlands #1 by Jordie Bellaire and Vanesa Del Rey from Image Comics is an interesting start for a brand new series to follow, because it very much feels like an ending. This issue is set in the town of Redlands, Florida in 1977, as a police station stands under siege after just trying to commit[...]

But I find the Punisher especially troublesome because of how he's often described. Cover by Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire He's often put down as a vigilante, or anti-hero, or loner When he's not: he's a terrorist His war may be aimed at criminality, but it often spills over, and he terrifies everyone The character is the[...]

I won't complain, though; we get a wonderful background story by Chris Eliopoulos and Jordie Bellaire about helpless Imperial Officers and Mouse Droids keeping Vader from resting. This story seems to be steeped in Force lore, what it means to be a true Sith, and how Darth Vader became even more terrifying than the Emperor himself[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] [SPOILERS FOLLOW] All Star Batman #10 by Scott Snyder, Rafael Alburquerque and Jordie Bellaire gives us a father and son story wrapped up in punk teenagers, pirates and priceless paintings Not too unusual, as DC are having a bit of a good time with father and son stories of late, though this one is a[...]

But the second story, featuring Duke Thomas and Batman with Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire has this aside that's reminiscent of Star Wars in a couple of ways. Firstly, "someone else" is reminiscent of Yoda's "no, there is another" line, indicating Princess Leia as a child of the Force. But secondly, the idea that Batman has trained someone who[...]

Parker, who is teaming with Evan 'Doc' Shaner and Jordie Bellaire, describes Future Quest as their "Rebirth" for the classic cartoon characters of the 60's. Parker seems to be poking a little bit of fun at the characters he's working with as he describes Race Bannon as "the guy who shoots people" and Birdman as "the[...]

I don't mean by the title that grim and gritty superheroes have returned via Image Comics, but this week's release of the first issue of the anticipated new series Plutona by Jeff Lemire, Emi Lenox, and Jordie Bellaire, does that thing that other comics have tried repeatedly to do and sometimes just go really badly[...]

We'll jump around a little bit, but we have a steady artist in Andrea Mutti who'll be drawing a good 75% of the entire series, however long it lasts, keeping a strong visual identity to the whole thing (along with colorist Jordie Bellaire). Rebels #2 cover by Tula Lotay CH: I read that one issue in the[...]

Because Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve both fell on Wednesdays, it was easy to let some comics fall through the cracks. However, when I got home today

Not too many credit changes to report this week, as opposed to last week's monster list. Just that Avengers #37 will be drawn by Mike Deodato, not Stefano Caselli. That X-Force #11 will be drawn by Rock-He Kim, not Tan Eng Huat. And Jordie Bellaire is no longer the colourist for Batgirl #35 as announced, replaced by Maris Wicks. But one retailer fellow[...]
