“Brian Wood is not a writer that pulls punches. He doesn’t write “easy” stories, and he asks a lot of his readers, in all the best ways. Part one of his final “Northlanders” epic is no exception. “Northlanders” #42 which begins “The Icelandic Trilogy” and is titled simply “Settlement 871,” is a powerfully moving bit of comics. It’s obvious reading this first brutal issue that Wood has every intention of going out with a bang…”

I also wrote about Birds of Prey #14 this week, but it was an unfortunate disappointment, so y’know, not so interested in broadcasting that one so loudly.  But here ya go.

“There are few ideas in fiction more fascinating to me than time travel. At the same time, I’ve rarely seen it done in a way in which I can both appreciate it and understand it, which are key elements to enjoying a work of fiction. “The Red Wing” #1 handily manages both, and sets a brilliant stage for a fascinating series about one of our most engrossing ideas…”

“I have little to no interest in Jason Todd, Red Hood or not. However, trapping Jason Todd in the Batmobile on a rescue mission with Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne will quickly pique my interest. It’s not groundbreakingly insightful or anything, but it can be great fun to see characters with this kind of history interact, and Winick makes the most of it in this issue of “Batman and Robin”….”

““The Walking Dead” always has a fairly nice rhythm of horror, panic, and anxiety followed by quiet, recovery, and re-building. After the most brutal horror over the past few issues since perhaps since the Governor and the subsequent raid on the prison, we’re back into a period of quiet and, as always, it’s a much needed respite…”

I also did two other CBR Comic Reviews this week, but I really hated the books, which makes me hesitant to do big fancy blog posts about them…but you can read about how much I hated Magdalena #7 here, and Fear Itself: The Black Widow One-Shot here if you’re super curious.

Also, this has turned into a weirdly Walking Dead weekend…odd!
