Review: Harbinger #25

Harbinger #25 - Valiant Comics 2014

Josh Dysart keeps bringing us hits!

Harbinger is on fire!

Issue twenty-five gives the reader some real insight into the super-villain, Toyo Harada. Harada, a powerful and influential man – possibly an insane man – a “Harbinger”; a herald of the future, a Psiot with the potential to reshape the course of humanity’s destiny, and he has decided to go to war with the world.

Why?

He does not have the patience, or the time to deal with humans and their insistence on “Free Will” and “Human Rights.” He believes he is the smartest person in any room. He is dangerous, and angry – angry with small minded politicians, angry with incompetent underlings, and especially angry that his once loyal protégé, Peter Stanchek, has turned on him.

Within a tableau of death and destruction, writer Dysart is able to enthrall the reader’s imagination allowing them to see how Toyo Harada’s followers not only fear, but also worship him. And it is this fear and worship that holds Harada back from actually destroying everything. (This issue also reveals how Harada has stayed looking a young fifty years old for the last thirty years!?!)

This book is not all about Toyo Harada, however. Peter Stanchek – a powerful Psiot himself – and his band of renegade “Harbingers” have been desperately working against the clock to bring down Harada and his sprawling, secret network of conspiracy and subversion known publicly around the globe as the Harbinger Foundation. The Renegades have sacrificed much to reach this point. Now, a Final Showdown is coming! 

Don’t Miss It!

Reveiw: The Hunger

"The Hunger" - Marvel Comics 2013 

Spinning out of Age of Ultron and leading directly into Cataclysm: The Ultimates’ Last Stand, one comic book threatens the very existence of the entire parallel-world known as the Ultimate Universe. Hunger, written by Joshua Hale Fialkov is that book.

Hunger #1 is the beginning of the end, and what a beginning. Rick Jones aka - one cosmically fueled dude and a powerful player in Marvel’s Ultimate Comics Universe - is hungry; hungry for a cheeseburger. Not just any cheeseburger, but a cheeseburger from “Burger Shack.” As he returns to Earth in search of said burger, he gets called back to space, where the threat of cosmic annihilation has arrived in the form of Galactus.

As the series begins, Galactus is attacked by the swarm, but instead of consuming him, they join together and…. well, this is where things in the Ultimate Universe start to get exciting. Find the complete series today at White Dragon Comics.

George Romero's Empire of the Dead: Act One

Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species. - Friedrich Nietzsche

George Romero brings it again! "Empire of the Dead: Act One” is sure to please the Zombie lover inside you. George Romero redefines the Zombie genre one more time. "Empire of the Dead" gives readers a different view of Zombies, something new and terrifying - Zombies with intelligence.

Once Acts Two and Three have been published, “Empire of the Dead” will serve as final chapter in George’s “Saga of the Living Dead” that he began in 1968.

The plot, as usual, concerns a handful of survivors looking out for their own interests, who band together while trying to stay alive. The story has some similarities to other Zombie stories; an evil Governor and an arena with fighting Zombies, just like “The Walking Dead”, but Romero’s Governor? Well, I don’t want to give it all away, but expect a twist like no other.  

Fans of the Zombie genre will find everything they are looking for, and more, in Romero’s “Empire of the Dead, Act One”, and should only expect things to escalate in the upcoming Acts.

Look for “George Romero’s Empire of the Dead” on White Dragons Horror Comic Books Page.

Archer & Armstrong: American Wasteland parts 1 & 2

Archer & Armstrong #20 & 21 (Valiant Comics)

As most of you already know, if you read my reviews, I am not a huge superhero comic book fan. Well that was until my better half the Dragon, suggested I read Archer & Armstrong #20 and 21. He tells me the Lizard King, Elvis, Marilyn and many more people that are famous are in the book.

So, I checked it out. To my surprise, it was a great story! Jim Morrison is not the same Jim Morrison of The Doors, he’s kind of an evil bastard!  And poor Elvis, well you just have to read it, I don’t want to give it all away.

The premise: Archer is looking for his parents. This brings our conspiracy busting duo to L.A. and the Hollywood Hotel . Where stars check in, but they don’t check out. Oh and did I mention an ex-president is stuck in the Hollywood Hotel as well.

Archer & Armstrong is really worth checking out. Fred Van Lente brings us some great writing and Shawn Crystal, Michael Walsh, Mico Suayan and Pere Perez bring it alive with their amazing artwork!

Review: Painkiller Jane: The Price Of Freedom #1

Painkiller Jane: The Price Of Freedom #1 Marvel Comics

While recuperating from a pulled tooth, I found myself with extra time on my hands, which allowed me to catch up on some great comic books. One of my favorite, which seemed appropriate for this particular day, was “Painkiller Jane: The Price of Freedom # 1.

Jimmy Palmiotti returns to his fan-favorite character, former police detective, Jane Vasko, with a new tale of murder and betrayal. This exciting issue brings back old characters and introduces some new ones, in particular, Princess Sabina Poonwalla, whom our heroine and her friends must protect from mysterious assailants with murderous intent.

Palmiotti and artist, Juan Santacruz have crafted a fast-paced action tale with enough mystery to keep you guessing and wondering what will happen next. 

You can find Painkiller Jane and many other Hot, New Comics on White Dragon Comics' New Comics Page

Series Review: Grimm Fairy Tales presents 'Oz'

Zenescope Comics presents a new Oz, unlike anything you’ve read before.

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." 

An unlikely hero, a simple farm girl who dreams of adventure is whisked to a new wondrous and dangerous world where she will find the adventure she has been yearning for.  Unbeknown to this simple farm girl, Dorothy, Highborn blood runs through her veins and with this highborn blood comes great power, a power that can be used to save Earth and The Four Realms. But, will Dorothy realize her potential before the Wicked Witches destroy her, along with everything else that stands in their way?

Zenescope brings us a new world in Oz. This Oz is vicious, terrifying and violent! No Cowardly Lion looking for courage or a Tin Man in need of a heart, no in this Oz we have a Ruthless Lion with an appetite for warfare and a Tin Man with an aggressive personality that is far from loving thy neighbor. And let us not forget the beloved dog Toto, not a little toy dog in this Oz, but a ferocious wolf with a passion for justice. And finally yet importantly our Dorothy, not the quiet, pouting, not quite sure of herself teenager, but a Fierce Warrior who has not realized her potential; and when she does, Oz will not know what hit it!

Oz is Zenescope’s best-selling comic to date, beating out Marvel’s Emerald City of Oz which was released at the same time. If your looking for a new spin on an old story then you must check out the new Zenescope Comic Book, “Oz”.
