Justice League Dark #14- This issue had Frankenstein,
Princess Amaya and Black Orchid fumbling around in the House of Mystery and
frankly…it was a bore. After the chase for the Book of Magic, the showdown
against Nick Necro, writer Jeff Lemire has the new members trying to get out of
a house? I mean talk about anti-climatic. I’ll say this also; I’m not convinced
by the introduction of the new members of the team. Frankenstein is a science
hero not a magic one and Amaya is well, a little boring. Also what the hell
happened to the art? Graham Nolan and Victor Drujiniu are in charge of the art
this issue and I have to wonder if the duo had a rush job on their hands. The
art style changed at least 3 times this issue. Hopefully artist Mikel Janin will
be back next issue.
I, Vampire #14- In a post in the Civilian Reader, I
commented that “I, Vampire” is a classic in the making. If anyone doubts that,
then I strongly suggest you pick up #14. A lot is going on. Mary going from
main villain to reluctant hero, introduction of Deborah Dancer, Tig helping
Bennett get a new vampire follower, Bennett getting a vampire dog; yet there is
no confusion whatsoever in this issue. The pacing and structure of this issue
is superb! Everything was beautifully written by Joshua Hale Fialkov and
marvelously drawn by Andrea Sorrentino. A classic in the making? Based on this
issue, that might be an understatement.
