TWISTED ROMANCE #3 IMAGE COMICS
Another week’s worth of Romance tales gone askew. With Alex De Campi and Carla Speed McNeil bringing us a rather classic tale done in a rather anime-ish art style that suits the story matter. Meanwhile, on the flipside literal cat and mouse games at the Academy have the animals in a whole lot of trouble. A bit heart warming in the vein of Krazy Kat. With a text story by Jess Bradley about what happens when you admit to love while holding a bomb. I give it a 7 out of 10 Grahams.
CHARLTON ARROW #3 CHARLTON NEO/AC COMICS
This book is a perfect example of writers and artists from different generations can come together to entertain. Multi-character books have a tendency to highlight one hero while the other stories take a back seat. There are no favorites here, only good reading. Story by story some of the biggest names in comics bring their A game. New stars highlight classic heroes and villains. As you read through the pages, you just know that this is a labor of love for all parties involved. But with all this goodness, my favorite is the Deathwatch story by McKenzie and Torres. I give it a 9 out of 10 Grahams.
