Hinterland #8- Writer Ian Edginton’s idea of an apocalypse
caused by fantasy creatures is finally given full voice as he expands his story
beyond being just a survival story. We see ogres, fairies, trolls, centaurs,
satyrs, vampires, Sidhe, humans, and god know what else, all trying to crave
out a place in the world and as the pieces of the world fits and clicks
together, we can clearly see that Edginton has a grand plan for everything.
Together with the art of Francesco Trifogli, Hinterkind stands unique in both
story and artwork. In fact, you can argue that it is almost too unique to be a
hit but that doesn’t change what Hinterkind is; it is a great series!
Original Sin #3- Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole we
go as writer Jason Aaron’s murder mystery kick into high gear. As we see the
fallout, and power, of the Watcher’s eye, I must say it's great to finally see
all those team-ups finally doing something instead of just sitting around going
somewhere. What’s even better is that all the teams are going something
important as we see how the various threads converge. Special mention must also
be given to Mike Deodato Jr. His art here is superb (corpse of a dead planet;
WOW) and that last scene; if it sticks, this is one Marvel event book that WILL
make a difference for years to come.
Sinestro #2- Well, that didn’t take long. After the debut
issue where Sinestro meet up with his Corps, everyone knew it was only a matter
of time before Sinestro take control of the Yellow Lanterns and clean house. I
just didn’t think it will happen in #2! In a way, it’s good that writer Cullen
Bunn get the obvious plotlines out of the way to concentrate on new things; but
I can’t help but wonder whether Bunn has been too quick on the trigger. The
complex relationship Sinestro has with the Yellow Lanterns is something Bunn
could have mined and having him come in and kill everyone who could oppose him
seen to throw that out the window. The series still has great potential but
throwing potentially good storylines seem a strange way to start a series.
