Review: Chastity #1

Chastity #1 - Dynamite Comics 2014

Dynamite Comics has always been kind of in the background, with some good story-lines and decent art; that is, until now! 

With the release of their newly acquired, re-vamped Chaos Universe, they have elevated themselves to greatness

.

Dynamite’s Chaos comic book universe is slowly re-introducing the readers to some popular long-lost characters, like Chastity, Evil Ernie, Purgatory and Lady Demon.

The first spin-off from the Main Chaos series brings us Chastity and I have to say she is becoming one of my favorite characters thus far. 

When we meet Chastity, she is just an average every-day teenager, with an overbearing parent. Her mother, a former Olympic medalist, has aspirations for Chastity; she sees a world famous gymnast in her daughter and pushes her to perform.  Chastity was on her way to fulfilling her mothers dream when a terrible accident occurred, forcing her to give up her gymnastic career, which further resulted in the loss of her mother’s affection.

Without the attention of her mother, Chastity turns to books as a for companionship. She becomes caught up in the latest craze: Vampire books, specifically a popular Vampire book series called “The Blood Rose”. The book becomes an obsession for Chastity’s and when she is given the opportunity to meet the writer, she jumps at it. This meeting turns into a lot more than Chastity could have expected and her world will never be the same again.

This is a well-written book and the artwork is phenomenal. I highly recommend Dynamite’s Chastity. Pick up a copy today, you will not be disappointed

Welcome to Chaos! Review of Chaos #1

Chaos #1 - Dynamite Comics 2014

The Horror Heroes of Chaos return, and Dynamite Comics has them. 

Evil Ernie, Chastity, The Chosen and Purgatory are all back and connected in a string of events that can only have one outcome: Total Chaos!

Chaos #1 is the launch of a new universe featuring tried and true characters. Writer Tim Seeley starts the all-new Chaos Universe with the reintroduction of Evil Ernie, Purgatory, Lady Demon, and Chastity. All of these characters are set to star in their own spin-off in the near future, but first they must work together in a common cause.

The Chosen kids (The Omen) are raising the dead in search of Evil Ernie, Chastity is revolting against 

Purgatory and Ernie, well Ernie is just doing what he does best, killin’.

Each of these characters has individually witnessed visions of the world’s impending doom, and rush headlong into conflict. Some desperately wanting to avert a nuclear holocaust, out of self-interest, while the others just want to raise some hell.

In the words of publisher Nick Barrucci, “So begins the return of the Chaos Universe on an epic scale; the resurrection of fan-favorite boogeymen and femme fatales amidst a violent, apocalyptic upheaval.”

I highly recommend that you get on board!

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.

Rick Jones aka - one cosmically fueled dude and a powerful player in Marvel’s Ultimate Comics Universe - is hungry; hungry for a cheeseburger.

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!
