When all hope seems goneWhat can you do when all that which is humanly possible and beyond, has been done and it still isn’t enough? When you’re faced with odds so great, it makes you question your faith in everything? How can you face those odds, again and again, knowing in the end that you cannot win? When all hope is gone and nothing remains.
In Irredeemable #4,the world’s most powerful hero known as The Plutonian, who has power levels which could be compared to that of a certain Son of Krypton, has gone rogue. His former teammates, the Paradigm, have come to realize the little information they thought they knew about The Plutonian was all a lie.
After killing a few of his former companions, The Plutonian heads to the U.N. where many countries, just out of fear and an act of self preservation, begin offering the unstable alien a seat as head of their respected governments. Not seeming to care about their pathetic grovelling, The Plutonian continues listening to them, floating above like some angry god.
Choosing a country at random, The Plutonian asks the diplomat of Singapore why he should choose them, with the diplomat responding with a few compliments towards The Plutonian’s past service. Not knowing or realizing the omnipotent godhead before him is scanning his thoughts for sincerity, the diplomat continues his fawning. Having felt the fear and lies with his telepathic abilities, The Plutonian rushes off to space to administer his kind of justice.
It’s a good story, albeit a dark one. There is a sense of hopelessness on every page, with the colors and lines seemingly adding to the scope of loss. I liked the reactions on the Plutonian’s face, the way he seems so tired of the whining and the complaining by us mere mortals. He acts as if we are in his way, and that we should move when we are told.
Let’s hope the series last long enough in order for some hope to return.

When the mighty fall…Lord John Dalberg-Acton is quoted as saying “Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely”, and never was this as true as when we sometimes witness our most trusted figures in society fall. Now imagine if the utterly unimpeachable and pure were to fall. One of the greatest symbols of purity is surely that of an Angel, but now imagine if they had human emotions, and were as corruptible as we are? What kind of world would that be if these powerful patrons of good could be consumed by greed? In WitchBlade #128: War of the Witchblades, this is exactly what happens.
After a fight between the two bearers of the Witchblade, Danielle Baptiste lies unconscious, and Sara Pezzini is left for dead. The Angelic servants of the light seek out Danielle, who is bearer of the Good side of the Witchblade. Their leader, a female Angel by the name of Sabine, seeks to be the new host to the Angelus, parent of the Witchblade, and the ultimate manifestation of good.
Ready to take Danielle away, the Angels are confronted with Det. Patrick Gleason, Sara’s boyfriend. He arrives with Hope, Sara’s daughter, and proceeds to shoot one of the Angels. Sabine orders the other Angels to kill him, but then Patrick threatens the Servants with Sara’s daughter, asking Sabine to remember what happened last time she menaced the toddler. Sabine relents, but asks Patrick to choose which girl he wants, for he can only have one of them. He begrudgingly tells Sabine to leave his love behind, and the Angel’s take Danielle and depart. Sara soon rises from her coma, healed by the Witchblade but begins to attack Patrick, not recognizing him, and turning a blind eye towards her daughter, as if the Witchblade had taken possession of her.
Sara then leaves to find Danielle, who in turn is preparing to seek out Sara herself, accompanied by the Servants, whom it seems Danielle has entered in some unholy pact with. Elsewhere, nebulous events that transpire in the midst of small antique shop will surely make Sara forget the drastic actions she took toward her loved ones, and perhaps even deter her from finding the other half of the Witchblade.
The art in this book is breathtaking; one could buy this book based solely on the artist’s depictions of the Witchblade. Never has blood and violence been rendered so well on the printed page. The author leaves tiny clues for you to follow, which in turn makes you want to follow this story even more. Any story which makes you curious about what going to happen next has succeeded, in my opinion, in telling a good story.
Although, a novice to this title would be a little lost for lack of a synopsis, but the writers do try to situate you in the grand scheme of things. An excellent story with equally excellent art, coupled with an intriguing back story, makes this a great continuation into the saga of the Witchblade.

You’re the Devil in disguise…You know those evil thoughts you think of when you get mad: the ones where you tear somebody’s head off, or wish them dead in a hundred different ways? Well imagine that your conscience took a leave of absence and you did just that, you started to commit every single act of violence, torture and degradation you ever thought of, over and over and over again....And you like it. It’s a drug, you love it and then like a car crash, your consciousness comes back and you’re hit head on with what you have done. All the horrible, nightmarish things right there in front of you. Could you handle it? Would you stay sane?
In Angel: After the fall #23, this is exactly what happens to Gunn. See after participating in the fall of Los Angeles, Gunn is again human and is incapable of dealing with his self-loathing. After committing innumerable acts of depredation, his conscience can barely endure the anguish he feels and seeks to end the pain: he doesn’t see why he should be allowed to live. Illyria, oddly enough, having some small “sparks” of Fred left in her, feels for him, wants him to heal. Through Fred’s memories and Gunn’s love of her, they seem to come to a mutual understanding. Plus with the help of Betta George, Gunn is able to talk to others about his problems at the Mosaic Wellness Center, a community center for all sorts of supernatural beings.
Although at first I was a little bummed out that the Angel character was taking a two month hiatus from the comic because, quite frankly, Gunn was never my favorite character to begin with. But the writers did surprise me. They gave Gunn a bit more of a personality than what we saw on the show. Plus, it is very nice to see them give second and third rate characters a little limelight. Overall this is a good read for fans of the show, but new comers to the series will feel a little lost.

Locke & Key should be kept under Lock & KeyLocke & Key: Head Games #6 is the end of the six-issue “Head Games” series, but asks more questions than it answers. It is a psychological thriller, as the sadistic Dodge holds Ellie Whedon in thrall, and seeks to erase all her memories of him so as to cover his tracks. The issue is an extended flashback of Ellie at a New England beach house with her evil mother and mentally retarded 14-year-old son.
The comic book exudes an aura of pure nastiness through the characters of Dodge and Ellie's mother. Dodge has Ellie's skull open with a mystical key and taunts her in her helplessness. There's a phenomenon called “sleep paralysis” (which I've experienced) where you awake from sleep while your body is still unable to move. It's rather horrific and is the best metaphor for how Dodge deals with Ellie.
In the flashback his magical control generates, Ellie's mother is an old crone who constantly insults and demeans her daughter. She constantly chain smokes, despite her grandson's health problems, and even burns him with a cigarette. Ellie's mother is completely revolting and hatred emanates from her. She reminds Ellie that her son's father left them, that men have taken advantage of her in the past, etc.
Although the book ends on a note of defiance towards Dodge, which will lead into further Locke & Key tales in the fall, I just felt glad that the whole thing was over. It's a comic so nasty it almost makes you want to take a bubble bath and eat ice cream just to forget about it. As art, it is an incisive look at injustices perpetrated on the innocent and helpless, while those who could otherwise intervene stand as frozen onlookers. However, that sort of message is conveyed far more clearly in other comics, for instance, in something more realistic and accessible like Maus.
For me, Locke & Key is too magical, too impossible, and too bizarre to feel anything other than just plain “icky”.

A co-production of Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation, the full-length animated film will be distributed by Warner Home Video on September 29, 2009. “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies” will be available as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-ray™ Hi-Def for $24.98 (SRP) and $29.99 (SRP), respectively, as well as single disc DVD for $19.98 (SRP) and On Demand. Order due date for all versions is August 25, 2009.
“Superman/Batman: Public Enemies” is based on the popular Jeph Loeb/Ed McGuinness comic series/graphic novel. Animation legend Bruce Timm (“Superman Doomsday,” “Green Lantern”) is executive producer. Michael Goguen (“Justice League: The New Frontier”) is supervising producer. Sam Liu (“The Batman”) is directing a script written by Stan Berkowitz (“Justice League: The New Frontier”).
In the film, United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a Kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his “partner in crime,” Batman. Heroes and villains alike launch a relentless pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must unite – and recruit help – to stave off the action-packed onslaught, stop the asteroid, and uncover Luthor’s devious plot to take command of far more than North America.
The movie reunites the lead voices of Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor from the landmark “Superman: The Animated Series” and “Batman: The Animated Series.” Tim Daly (“Private Practice”), Kevin Conroy (“Batman: The Animated Series,” “Justice League”) and Clancy Brown (“The Shawshank Redemption”) reprise their roles as Superman, Batman and Lex Luthor, respectively.
“Superman/Batman: Public Enemies - 2 Disc Special Edition” version will have more than three hours of incredible bonus features, including:

“Based on the past success of ‘Superman Doomsday’ and ‘Batman Gotham Knight,’ we know the pairing of the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight – pitted against both their DC Super Hero colleagues and the entire rogue’s gallery of DC villains – will offer fans the level of entertainment normally reserved for the big, summer blockbuster films,” said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Partner Brands.
