DC Comics: Suicide Squad #1
Great Ryan Benjamin cover to begin with! And the story is clearly focused on the elder teens rather then youngsters with all the <spoilers removed. please come back on Saturday> Fact of the matter? I think this goed well beyond any test I could come up with if I were part of some good-guy team, that is for sure.
But great reading material before the movie kicks in high gear, so as far as promotion goes: well done.
But I think showcasing Jimmy Palmiotti & Amanda Conner’s HARLEY QUINN would have been a more family-friendly introduction to comics.
Black Mask: YOUNG TERRORISTS / WE CAN NEVER GO HOME
2-track story with WE CAN NEVER GO HOME starting out as a more regular story but with the introduction of a Bulletproof Girl it takes a mighty interesting leap out of the window.
YOUNG TERRORIST is a 3-part story with (I presume) one and the same female badass protagonist, during various phases of her life. First of all: the artwork by Amancay Naheulpan is just insanely detailed and among the finest I have ever seen. He should be on the DC or Marvel roster but I am happy to discover him right here. The story is tough, political, sadistic with a lot of mystery and some form of anarchy or rebellion attached to it. This is a must-have I fear!
Hide it for young kids though!
Valiant Entertainment: 4001AD Special
Valiant has characters that are off the charts, with talented writers and artists to back up the premise of each title.
With a prologue to a new inter-company crossover 4001AD with RAI, as well as astonishing previews to Bloodshot Island, Divinity, A&A and the sell-out hit FAITH, this FCBD-collection is just a thing you would want!
Dark Horse Comics: SERENITY & HELLBOY & ALIENS
in your face. Plain and simple! Dark Horse just brought out the big guns (aka franchises) and all rounds fired!
With SERENITY I have to wonder if I should have a bit of knowledge about this franchise beforehand. I never saw the TVseries or movie, so I have really no clue. But it read like a fun bedtime-story as intended.
With HELLBOY I just did not get the story, but sometimes it just might be like this.
With ALIENS it is just a full-on battle and especially with art like this, it is amazing to look at!
2000 AD
Seven short stories for the price of free! That’s some deal! If you are a 2000 AD fan, you need to try to get your mits on this.
Kodansha Comics: Attack on Titan
The global phenomena continues in comic form (notice I said comic, not manga). Recommended for fans of the original manga/anime.
Devil’s Due: MIX TAPE 2016
A mixed badge of stories, so to each their own. A tad on the 16+ side but still great stories!
Mercy Sparx Year One: Mercy is loose as a young girl and woo the demon or man to cross her path.
Solid art and writing. Loving this one!
Badger: Battling Putin will make him loose bigtime or earn the title of Ruler Of All Russias.
Mucho action, in your face and MMA-style. And cool to see someone battle Putin like this!
Squarriors: when the ‘event’ happened mankind got extinct and mammals gained rational thoughts and thinking. Warrying factions under squirrels and hawks make for an amazing sight, especially with this stunning artwork.
Mixed reviews by Ron van Rutten and Richard Boom.
About the Author
Richard Boom Richard is the driving force behind Comics for Sinners. His love and admiration for female comic book characters is virtually unparalleled, which immediately explains his biggest 'sin': his Hot Mummy fetish. This sketchbook theme is philogynistic in nature and even the source of his WIP comic book series "The Sisterhood".
