Demon Knights #11- Anyone who had read #1 knew that Camelot
would work its way into the series sooner or later. Writer Paul Cornell did not
disappoint. The link between Madam Xanadu and Arthur came a little out of the
blue but overall the issue is a good fantasy issue full of magic, action and a
little bit of mystery. The art by Diogenes Neves this issue wasn’t as great as
previous issues but it was solid and serviceable. After the so-so last issue,
Demon Knight is back on track.
Harbinger #2- One of the things that made Peter Stanchek
such a great character is that while he was a nice guy who tries to do the
right thing, he makes a lot of bad decisions. This Harbinger relaunch by Joshua
Dysart and Khari Evans kept that and this series is all the better for it. One
change I do hope they’ll keep is to maintain Toyo Harada as a dark version of
Professor X. To me, he has always works better as such a character than an
outright villain.
Bloodshot #1- Although Bloodshot was one big hit for the
Valiant Universe, I was never a fan of the character. I am a fan of this
version of Bloodshot! The main plot of the character seems to be the same with
Bloodshot being a man subjected against his will to a scientific experiment
that made him into the ultimate killing machine but writer Duane Swierczynski
has cleverly mixed several genres into an enjoyable espionage/military/sci-fi
story. This issue shows a lot of promise and if the following issues are
anywhere near as good as this one, Bloodshot will once again be a hit.
