“Terry Moore brings his expected best — which includes great female characters and gorgeous black and white art — to his latest new series âRachel Rising.â 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
âBuffy The Vampire Slayerâ is one of the best transitions from other media to comics that Iâve had the pleasure of reading, and itâs 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 âBuffy The Vampire Slayer Season 9â is no exception and has been delivering an amazing new series these last few months…”
“The new series âPrincelessâ 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.
âPrincelessâ 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!

I’m sorry but Steve Morris is just KILLING these Buffy covers. Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9 #3:
And this is my favorite of Marko Djurdjevic’s Avengers Origins covers. Avengers Origins: The Vision (one-shot):
This Northanger Abbey #1 cover by Julian Tedesco Totino is pretty freaking gorgeous:
I’m sure this one will surprise a lot of you, but I LOVE this Uncanny X-Force #17 cover by Esad Ribic. The colors and lights and darks are absolutely fantastic as is the composition and attitude, and though Psylocke’s costume is obviously a little um…you know…I love that she looks a bit fleshy and real and much less plastic than how so many ladies in comics.

There’s a new She Has No Head! up on Comics Should Be Good.
I really like this piece today as it’s a chance to talk a little bit about a lot of great female positive ongoings we seem to have in comics right now. Head on over to check it out. And here’s an image, which will allow you to cheat…

In case you missed it from over the weekend, I have two new reviews up on CBR.
“âAnimal Manâ 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 âAnimal Man,â Buddy Baker and his daughter Maxine arrive at The Red Place thanks to Maxineâs urging and guidance. There Buddy and Maxine meet the other Animal Men, also known as Totems, and learn much about âthe life webâ and more importantly, what Maxine is destined for. Meanwhile at home, Ellen and Cliff are under attack by one of âThe Othersâ that stayed behind to destroy Ellen since she gave birth to an Avatar of The Red (i.e. Maxine)…”
“Itâs hard to separate this new âVillains For Hireâ mini-series from the sadly defunct and frequently very good âHeroes For Hireâ series that preceded it, but if you can, thereâs a good comic here. However, it might just be that this is a good comic because it seems solidly like an issue of âHeroes for Hire.â With only two pages of the âVillains For Hireâ stuff sandwiched into an epilogue at the end, this comic feels a little unsure of what itâs supposed to be. Still, the concept, guest stars, and almost procedural nature of the âHeroes For Hireâ formula can work equally well for villains, so if we were going to lose âHeroes For Hireâ itâs 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…”

Loved this look by Marco Djurdjevic for Avenger Origins: Ant-Man & The Wasp (one-shot). Gorgeous.
To be honest, I didn’t the love the writing here, but inside is absolutely stunning Stephanie Hans artwork, so between the cover and the interiors…it’s more than worth a look.

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 âSecret Avengersâ #18, Warren Ellis has brought me another comic book that Iâm too stupid to fully comprehend but find myself loving anyway …”
âGreen Wakeâ was a great little mini-series that has been upgraded into an ongoing series, much to everyoneâs benefit. Extending a mini-series into an ongoing doesnât always work, but there were so many mysteries in the first arc, itâs a pleasure to see Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossmo go back to this intriguing concept and dig deeper…”
