“Terry Moore brings his expected best — which includes great female characters and gorgeous black and white art — to his latest new series “Rachel Rising.” However, this series has an immediate horror-based element that is setting it apart from his other comics in interesting ways…”

Some CBR Reviews from this week:
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9 #3
“Buffy The Vampire Slayer” is one of the best transitions from other media to comics that I’ve had the pleasure of reading, and it’s largely thanks to a stable of brilliant writers, artists, and creators that clearly love the characters and world as much as fans do. This most recent iteration of Buffy in the form of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 9” is no exception and has been delivering an amazing new series these last few months…”
“The new series “Princeless” from talented newcomers Jeremy Whitley and M. Goodwin and independent publisher Action Lab is a much needed breath of fresh air on the comics scene.
“Princeless” is the story of a young princess named Adrienne being kept by her parents in a tower guarded by a dragon, so that a worthy prince might rescue her (and then marry her, I suppose). Adrienne is unimpressed both with this plan and with the gents who have tried (and failed) to rescue her. After a last failed attempt, Adrienne escapes on her own, commandeers her dragon guardian, puts on some left-behind armor, and heads off to rescue her five similarly trapped sisters…”
A review of Rachel Rising #3 to follow shortly I hope!

In case you missed it from over the weekend, I have two new reviews up on CBR.
““Animal Man” continues to be one of the strongest offerings of the new DCU 52 thanks to the interesting and consistent work of both Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman.
In this third issue of “Animal Man,” Buddy Baker and his daughter Maxine arrive at The Red Place thanks to Maxine’s urging and guidance. There Buddy and Maxine meet the other Animal Men, also known as Totems, and learn much about “the life web” and more importantly, what Maxine is destined for. Meanwhile at home, Ellen and Cliff are under attack by one of “The Others” that stayed behind to destroy Ellen since she gave birth to an Avatar of The Red (i.e. Maxine)…”
“It’s hard to separate this new “Villains For Hire” mini-series from the sadly defunct and frequently very good “Heroes For Hire” series that preceded it, but if you can, there’s a good comic here. However, it might just be that this is a good comic because it seems solidly like an issue of “Heroes for Hire.” With only two pages of the “Villains For Hire” stuff sandwiched into an epilogue at the end, this comic feels a little unsure of what it’s supposed to be. Still, the concept, guest stars, and almost procedural nature of the “Heroes For Hire” formula can work equally well for villains, so if we were going to lose “Heroes For Hire” it’s nice to get this replacement, if only temporarily. Additionally, with the new mini-series in the hands of writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, we have a good chance of getting something great…”

Some CBR Reviews from last week – all great stuff this week – love it when it works out that way!
“Though the philosophical differences that drove “Schism” ultimately did not compel me, I still remained interested in what the after effects would bring in the form of a splintered X-Men on opposite coasts. The first offering comes this week in the first issue of Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo’s “Wolverine
& The X-Men.” Though the book’s name leaves much to be desired (does Wolverine really have to be splashed across everything?), everything else here is pretty damn interesting…”
“With “Secret Avengers” #18, Warren Ellis has brought me another comic book that I’m too stupid to fully comprehend but find myself loving anyway …”
“Green Wake” was a great little mini-series that has been upgraded into an ongoing series, much to everyone’s benefit. Extending a mini-series into an ongoing doesn’t always work, but there were so many mysteries in the first arc, it’s a pleasure to see Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossmo go back to this intriguing concept and dig deeper…”
