"Cult of Dracula", or is it absolutely about something else?

    So Ummm what is up for you my humble readers, well here is the start of some fascinating treats or threats that I am sure you'll undoubtedly have a yummy scare with.....                                                                                                                                                              Ultimately it's very close to that given day when children of any age really love and no I don't mean the day known as Christmas morning... but rather the given holiday that gives those very young and inspiring little people always get a chance to really realize how best to use their imaginations to be something outside of themselves to get treats by running up to a front door of a house and saying "Trick or Treat" after ringing a doorbell.  To get a favorite candy of their liking from a big bowl from the one who is handing out the candies who like them when it has been me in past few years of time I am dressed up for fun like seen here 

                    with a young lady who is being Supergirl! And I just so happened to be heading home from Albertson's on Halloween night before going over to my brother's house to celebrate Trick or treating with his kiddos who are much more than just little ones now, but I helped hand out treats for them while his wife took the kids Trick or treating around their neighborhoods. The picture itself goes all the way back dating wise to October of twenty, twelve. Yet I do not know if yours truly will be costuming up for this very year...                                                                                                                                                          Enough with all the teasing of what ALL the little monsters want on Ol Hallows Eve, and even though we are a little over a week left before the scares or horrible horrorfic day is here for this very year of when I happen to be half way to a specific year known as twenty, seventy-two when I will be if I am seriously lucky one hundred years old! So today here is our first treat of October, twenty, twenty two:                                                                     

We are going to be going over the trade that my spider reading pal is holding known as "Cult of Dracula". It is six issues full of words from writer Rich Davis and main covers of the whole series are by GYULA NEMETH with the B covers are by SHANNON MAER. The publisher who put out this series is Source Point Press. Before we get into this review I thought you'd all like to see Maer's B cover to issue one,  well here     

,it is. I don't  have the individual issues of this very series but this one is the one I would love to have for certain!                                                                                                                               I know that I mostly give away the story in most of my reviews but I'm sure going to  try not to do that with this one....                                                                                                                You all know who it is that wrote the original story of Dracula right, it was a young man by the name of Bram Stoker who was born on November eight, eighteen forty seven. Was originally named after his father minus the junior part because of their Irish heritage I would like to believe?, but I really have no actual ideal reasoning for it. His full name was with "Bram" actually shorten from of course Abraham Stroker, when he was choosing his pen name. He was the third of seven children to Abraham and Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley Stoker in Dublin, Ireland. His first novel was a romance themed story in eighteen,  ninety titled "The Snake Pass", it was seven years later that he wrote Dracula, when he was fifty years old. He died on April twenty in nineteen twelve of locomotor ataxia, better known today as Syphilis.                                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                                                                           The feeling that I can say while I was reading  Cult of Dracula was a very interesting mystery from in the sense of it being a four point set of characters stories in the very town that inspired Stoker to write the character of Dracula to begin with which is the coastal town of Whitby, England. Was a both driving me into of course a horrorfic blood bath at points and a straight up as weird as it might actually seem an odd love story in a odd way,  so I would have to think that besides coming up with his own plot for his own tale of Dracula Rich Davis had read the original novel by Stoker a few time over!   Now one very thing that I am certain of, that as far as I know about I don't believe that Davis used Bram's characters beat for beat in his graphic novel series....                                                     Here's a quick list of some characters in "Cult of Dracula": Mina Murray who is a news reporter in Whitby, England her camera operator Jonathan Harker who like Murray is an graduate assistant of Abraham van Helsing. Jonathan finds out that he needs to get some more gaff tape when he meets Lucy and Arthur Holmwood, and the Reaper (who is more than whom he claims to be), and there is also an unnamed decetevice. The art through this series by Henry Martinez, and Puis Calzada, pulls the world of Rich Davis story of the most famous vampire into hunting haunt for the scares of all ages. The rating of this graphic novel is assuredly Mature readers in case you're wondering if it is for little kiddos, it's not! My overall rating of this Halloween scare fest is an B plus! 

A comic that's closely to our time!

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                         To say since  the one who  is writing this very review of the very book seen here 

, by my Spider pal is wanting to push forwardly my thoughts on why we as people NEED TO BE HELPING the ones we know as our close friends and family that being judged for any reason of anything negative in any way right now is very wrong no matter that as of right now the whole planet is crazy about something  that is completely unknowable of a very interesting yet strange virus. That seems to be affecting each one of us very differently than when it first came to be known as what it is Covid-19.  But I am only saying that this very comic's content is just as important to not be a complete unknowable thing about being judged on whom we are on our nationally or our skin color, which in and of itself seems to happen quite a lot.                                                                       The comic that I am going to be reviewing today is as you saw above SUPERMAN SMASHES THE KLAN deals immensely with the first created superhero that stands for American driving hope of helping others. This very comic story is written by Gene Luen Yang and Gurihiru did the art and cover that I have. Gurihiru are y women from Japan     named Chifuyu Saskai and Naoko Kawano who do art for American mainstream publishers Decetevice and Marvel comics and their many characters, and yes they have done my favorite one Spider-Man as well. Gurihiru is the name of their production studio from what I have been able to find out through my many internet searches as for what I have been able to find out about the writer himself is also from the web, which is that he is uncertain of where he was born... he thinks it's either ALAMEDA OR FREMONT, CALIFORNIA. This is according to his Wikipedia page and he might know more about it on that since it was posted as far back as August twenty eleven.  He was born on August ninth,  nineteen seventy-three to Taiwan parents who emgrainted from Hong Kong when they were young.                                                                                                                                             So I am going to guess that like myself Yang grew up knowing very little about Superman other than when he saw a animated cartoon of the character or read a comic book that he was lucky enough to find?, but decided early on that he wanted to be a creative person in his own young life. Superman Smashes The Klan was originally published in twenty nineteen. It's contains a feel of the original Max Fletcher cartoon series like the scene here 

, where he is saving Lois Lane from flowing lava in the episode titled "The Mechanical Monsters." The Max Fletcher cartoon series came out in nineteen forty two and forty three and was based on the character who was created back in April of nineteen thirty eight from National Comics by Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster who was only five years old when the cartoon series was airring.                                                                                                                        Superman in Superman Smashes The Klan does have him fighting a huge mechanical robot that is apparently Germany's last stance of taking over the world. The robot is known as Atomic Man. He attacks the Metropolis Dam and is seen by two of Superman's coworkers from the Daily Planet... after the man of steel beats the robot which surprisingly has a human inside it...? After Superman flies off, our other characters are introduced a Chinese family just now moving into one of the many suburbs of Metropolis itself. The family consists of a mother and a father who have two kids a boy named Tommy and his younger sister Roberta, the kids act just as any normal children do as car traveling buddies do of just not getting alongside well because they don't have patience with each other in respectful ways. Both of Tommy and Roberta seem to grow up throughout the course of the story while others adults like their dad's boss and a boy who knows both Tommy and Roberta have strong feelings about their newest coworker and Little league team mate. Roberta tries her best to showing Tommy's team mates through words that he is just as important a tryout player as any of them are and his background of race should never be a reason to be judged for as to his merit to try in anything. The only player that isn't listening no matter what is the boy I mentioned earlier his name is Chuck Riggs.                                                                                                                 Chuck later after the game is over and at home with his uncle ( I won't mention his name in the story part but later I will), and they talk about one thing of the game and no it's not at all about Chuck's athletic abilities or if he handled himself as a responsible human being towards his own teammates. They talk about Tommy Lee the newest tryout player... the uncle tells his nephew that Chuck WILL BE ACCOMPANYING him to a new meeting in this very suburb of Metropolis... The very meeting Chuck and his uncle are attending is Chuck's initiation ceremony into the KLAN OF FIERY KROSS!                                           After talking with her mom about what had happened earlier that day at the local church's baseball playing field with Tommy her brother, Roberta tries her best to fall asleep. When she all of a sudden sees a orange light outside of her bedroom window. It turns out that members of KLAN OF FIERY KROSS are right outside setting aflame a cross on the Lee's front lawn, as the mom and dad at a indecisive decision on what is to be done Tommy  makes the choice to stand up against these invaders. The next morning Perry White has sent out his two best reporters Lois Lane and Clark Kent and photographer Jimmy Olsen for what has happened to this newest family in this part of Metropolis. The leader of the FIERY KROSS later makes Tommy Lee disappear and Roberta his sister gets help in possibly finding him with Chuck Riggs and Superman!            To Be Continued....                                                                                                                                       So why did I title this review "A COMIC THAT'S CLOSELY TO OUR TIME!", is besides trying to get it noticed, I hope that it will come across as a thoughtful moment of being always to have a chance to explore ourselves of our true and honest thoughts on living during post Covid-19 times. When anyone of us needs to have help with something that is beyond our given control what it is that we do? Well I would like to believe that as individuals we drive our brains to seeking not just one single answer to suit our given questionable task of circumstances we are dealing with each and every day of our existence. I have mostly thought of when we as a species need to grow in any knowledge of  emotional learning how we respond to Love or Indifference and even Hate the two that are very easy are the latter of Love and Hate...                                                                               This comic story deals immensely with the emotions of one's feeling towards Asians specifically of Chinese decent Cantonese people from how they are adjusting to living life in a new country for them, and various neighbors who have been taught to ONLY have H.A.T.E. ( I do have an spelling of each letter of an acronym for this word that I am working out for clarification, which can be found in my subsequently area on here known as  "Brain Teasers that keep you Smart"). For this one here on racism in a or any comic story we'll label it Having. Animosity. Torturement. Everything/Everyone. It is very sad to me as a comic fan to seeing this topic needing to be addressed directly during a time of when we still are in a unknowable cross road of a pandemic that both we and the government don't fully know why Covid-19 is in full swing...                                                              I have heard that both Marvel the comic company that I really enjoy more than Decetevice comics have both been taking away the super heroes and super villains in their main story arcs over the last few years of time. To me I am willing to admit that I really still love comics no matter what. One of my last things I want you my many readers to know about Hate in all forms especially towards fellow human beings should NEVER BE ALLOWED AT ALL! WE Willingly share our reasoning to be understanding respectful of each other. Finally the last thing from this story of Superman Smashes The Klan that truly makes me feel sad is that Chuck Riggs character's uncle is known as Matt! Yet he's not full of being kindness of his heart at anyway at all! I do want to be able to find part two and three of this very story because I know that deep down I want to know what it is that will be happening with these characters in this very story arc. My overall grade of this story is an C minus for right now.  

DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I'M UP FOR HORRORFFIC THURSDAYS

Hello comic loving and horror fans alike,                                                                                            Tonight I am going to really ready to give myself something of a short but striking bit of a true introduction to one of character that I know at least a little about. Here is what I am trying to scare myself with, 

  here in great reading sofa with my cohort of  comic crime reading Spidey showing off what we are capable of being a smashing to maybe a silly review or a serious one! Who really knows? So here's a lot of questions that will impress me as well as you my reading audience... and we will cover THE DARKNESS volume II eventually if not this time very soon after this one the only thing that I will absolutely know about THE DARKNESS volume II is that last week I picked it up along with another oversized comic that is actually the whole nineteen nineties storyline and returning from the dead... Death Of Superman at of course, Adventures!                                                                                                               My overall understanding of the character known as Vampirella goes way back to when I was still a teenager. We, our family were living in Gaithersburg, Maryland at the time I was attending Wooton high school and it was my first year in a new environment.  While throughout that whole year of nineteen eighty eight I was able to meet a nice teenager named Chan he was a few years older than me. We really had found a common connection as friends besides being in a few classes together. One time over my many visits to his home I was able to see that someone was a big fan of comic books like I was starting again to be one myself from when I was a little guy. Anyway it turns out that they had some magazine sized comics with a woman in a eye catching red suit on the covers, the insides of these comics were Black and White,  which in later years I would come to find that I really appreciate what the creators do to sell their products.                                             Vampirella had her starting in September, nineteen sixty nine by comic writer Forrester J. Ackerman and comic illustratior Trina Robbins designed the character's             iconic Red suit. 

Now let's get this review of these current Vampirella comics started, we will start with Vampirella Hollywood Horror the trade that Spider-Man has in his lap. It's a six issue storyline that was published in twenty,  sixteen it was written by Kate Leth and is drawn by comic artist Eman Casallos,  with cover for the trade is by Jenny Frison who is currently doing a variety of variations of Decetevice Comics characters covers.

        In it's opening Hollywood Horror has an actress heading to work outside of Santa Clarita, California to her current production, where she meets the casting director Slade and the filming begins of a scene. Meanwhile in the hills of Hollywood we see that Vampirella and her friend Tristan and her chauffer Coleridge arrive at their new manison that Coleridge found through an offer on Craigslist. When Vampirella and Tristan are just getting ready to rest for the night 

they have a very unexpected guest break upon them. Vampirella chases the guest off of her private property.  When she tries to find out who the guest is he simply designated,  but she finds a calling card with the casting director from earlier. The next morning she and Tristan arrive in Hollywood to find a bit of help from an investigator in finding out who Slade is?                                                                                                                                                  Vampirella and Tristan use the help of the investigator who is named Ms Court by having her interview the alien from the planet known as Drakulon. One of the many attending adording fans during the interview is dressed very similar to the way of Vampi's mysterious guest from the night before and for whatever reason Vampirella attacks the fan. We as the comic reader, find out at the same time the casting director Slade seems to be trying use her own investigator to finding Vampirella!                                     Eventually both Slade and Vampirella meet up and have a huge battle to the death... by the fifth arc in this tale. Then the sixth part of this series seems at it's end to just be tacked on as Vampirella finding out on Halloween night that she has a particular new favorite love interests who happens to use her as his guardian while he goes trick or treating!              Overall this for my very first of reading of a Vampirella story is both very interesting to seeing how the character is good at being a horror driven female that's always at her own crossroad of dealing with her foes. Yet at the same time this story at the very given time is very compressed of where it's headed. I am giving it as a grade C minus.                                         Now onward with the two other comics seen with Spider-Man of Vampirella's more current titles... we are going to review VAMPIRELLA FAIRY TALES which is on the left of my reading partner.  Here's a closer look at         

   the cover first! Vampirella has a wolf behind her and she seems to have a red cape besides her classic red suit alone. Then of course there are bats behind her as well, the illusion of the cover and the writer of the story inside are by Soo Lee.  The main illustrator for the story is Emiliana Pinna. Vampirella walks through some woods and a pack of wolves are tracking her. She come to a mysterious old woman who tells her about a werewolf that has been killing a lot of the villagers and the village remains constantly in fear. The old woman asks for Vampirella's help to hunt down the cursed creature with a basket of goodies.                                                                                                                                      She returns to the woods and waits for her target while drinking some wine. When her target attacks they stare each other down. For a brief moment each thinks they can honestly best the other.... and yes with both being their own creatures of habits they of course bite each other! But when Vampirella does it, she cuts it's head from the wolf's body. She returns to the old woman place in the village she had offered to help.  She warns the old woman that there are always dangerous dangers just outside any village before she goes looking for a ride out of this chaotic village... the arc ends with her meeting another old woman this one happens to be offering Vampirella some milk and cookies!                                                                                                                                                             As I was reading this story I had the very feeling that Vampirella was extremely ready for her take of being Red Riding Hood only without a doubt a bloody end was the result no matter what the find outcome is? This is a one shot as to if the other story will lead some where is anyone's real guess? For still not knowing much about the actual character of Vampirella herself,  I am willing to give Vampirella FAIRY TALES a ranking of a B plus,  again mostly for the art of the story.                                                                                                            Now for a review of the book that really has me thinking that Vampirella is just as important as both Spider-Man or Spawn or even as fascinating as Batman or even as cool as the horror hostess named Evlira who is portrayed by actress Cassandra Peterson.  Who happens to be having a couple of comic series appearing here soon. The book we are glancing at now is part of the current ongoing Vampirella title which is titled Vampirella year one! On the cover of my copy she happens to have a silver suit on instead of her regular red one, it's because the character is currently celebrating fifty three years of existence. The writer of this historical background of the super vampire heron is Christopher Priest, who has written for both Decetevice Comics and Marvel Comics as far back as nineteen eighty four of most of their main characters.  Christopher has been writing the Vampirella title since July of twenty, nineteen. The illustrator for Vampirella year one is Ergun GuNDuz.                                                                                                                               Like a whole lot of "year one" storylines, at Decetevice or Marvel comics are made to help both old or newer readers of any certain characters a current telling of said character's original origin... I happened to have on this blog a review of Frank Miller's Batman Year one. Vampirella year one's cover that I have is illustrated by Collette Turner and Dynamite press that releases has a complete listing of all of their alternative versions of this cover, which amounts to thrity six different covers. The story begins with Vampirella talking to a man who is unnamed, he has brought her enrichment nourishment and she is talking to her belly as she holds it. We learn of her own history on her home planet called Drakulon. We learn of Drakulon's governing system and much her mother is someone of great potential power in her own right! Also one other thing that we as readers learn is her nickname by her closest friend is Snoop.             My impression from reading this year one arc that's bound to truly grace anyone who  is  a true comics lover  is that because  of everything new is our/my luring hook to not  only love or like what it is your brain is devouring...( see what  it  is  that I did there?, with it actually being that the character I am conversing of is well a vampire, no less) is giving me the one who cares absolutely about comics is the thoughts to flow for those of us that are always full of reaching ideas in certain ways of being caring about being creative in our own hopeful ways. As to what grade do I give Vampirella Year One number one for a whole altogether is an A plus... As to my review of THE DARKNESS volume II so far I am only on chapter 2, out of a spanning story of crimes throughout New York in the mid nineteen nineties that have magical weapons for the two main protagonists involved.  It has altogether twenty six chapters in the tomb of that very trade. Till next time my friends and love ones, enjoy whatever you DO have reading wise that let your mind wonder into a whole world of challenging growth known as reading! 

A comic trade know as

Hello comic loving public and those in need of great fun at the end of the first month of Summer of twenty twenty two,                                                                                                               Well here I  am again with a generous rewarding effort to getting you my wondering and interesting readers who feel like you are missing something from the site of some fascinating works of wordplay I may have that's for you? Yes I am once again talking about books or in this case a set of individual stories that are in the trade known as what is shown in my couch with my Spider buddy   

seen here. I have to let you know that since as of October of last year, I have been part of a online community related to comics called Comic Book Corner 2.0 Web-Heads Unite. The site owner has a YouTube website where he talks of many different comic topics including weekly new releases. He has a combined site with a couple other friends who are interested in comics like he and I are,  and Tuesday night at 10pm Eastern Standard Time they reveal their thoughts on what they have currently read over the past week on a show called Comicbook Weekly also searchable on YouTube.  
                                  Well back when Decetevice Comics went and had started going and making all of their heroes being defined by each one's sexual preferences instead of them saving the world, the one book of DC comics that I reviewed was SUPERMAN SON OF KAL-EL number five last November was when I had picked up my introduction to The SLIVER COIN series with the issue   

seen here on my coffee table. It happens to be issue number seven.  I had picked these actually in early December of twenty,  twenty one. I will eventually get to those as soon as I get a chance to decide what it is that I know I want my comic reviews of 2021 to be listed as so anyone can just find it very easily.                                                                                                Now that I have given you a back history of how it all came about for yours truly of getting into "THE SLIVER COIN" series, I know that overall you would love to find out what my thoughts on it as a whole is?, of that I am certain of!  The Silver Coin series is very much an ongoing set of stories in the vein of "A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS" of the classic television series known as The Twilight Zone. I will eventually get around to making a review of Each Original episode of the zone but for right now let's flip into the first issue of this ongoing comic anthology.                                                                                      Here are the covers to issue one of the sliver coin   

 

, so why are there actually two variant to the first print you are asking? well that goes all the way back to the nineteen nineties when Decetevice Comics and Marvel comics realized to get the most versions of an important character's title to reach more masses of comic readers they would put out a slightly different image on that very venturous go around to sell the said book even more efficiently so. Then a month or two later they came out with a second print cover like the one seen here       

             for the silver coin. The title of the first story is "The Ticket" by Chip Zdardsky. It is about this upcoming band who is trying to make it big in their home town local bar. When one of the members finds the coin amongst the guitarist stuff that his mom had left him. The band starts getting a lot better overall.  The bar owner is able for them to get signed to a large recording studio. Then of course Ryan the guitarist, gets in over his head when he's feels forced into playing with the town's other local musicians known as "Disco Hits"     

 ,  that he without knowing it brings the house down on everyone in attendance.  The second  issue's story in this trade is known as "Girls of Summer" by Kelly Thompson.  In this one, a young girl named Fonia ends her upcoming end of summer by attending a summer camp. When she arrives she finds all of the other gals she's bucking with don't want to care about her, even when taking part in the camp activities they grind her to her emotional lowest.  When she finds a cabin in the woods she finds the coin in a sword and is attacked by a unknown person! Fonia finds that when she finds her so called friends were....     

 murdered! Was it Fonia whom did it? Maybe or Maybe not! But in these first two issues I have noticed something that I will get to at the end of this very entry.                                                                                                                             The third issue of The Silver Coin is by Ed Brisson and is titled "Death Rattle." Three teenagers named Victor,Bobby, and Lisa have just killed a old man in his own home while attempting to just rob him. As Lisa grabs a plaque with the man's name on it she hears a onimibus voice that freaks her out, she tells her friends of what she just heard and Bobby shares his knowledge of the after life, Lisa says it's nothing like that of what she can describe it as. Victor sets 

 

     the house on fire. 

Lisa, while with her friends tries to get away from the authorities has found the coin but doesn't want to believe that it is possibly controlling her...

In the next issue the title is numerous all the way around and is "2467". This arc is truly for fans of cyberspace or even blade runners vein of fun. Officer Colten Dudley is chasing a group of punks that are dealing with existence by knocking over citizens by dealing with them in a violent situation. One of those punks gets lost in the underground city and she finds the coin and upload it to devote a significant impact of getting her way with dealing with her personal law problems... It is scribbled or scrambled by Jeff Lemire!                                                                                                               The fifth and final issue of The Silver Coin trade is known as "Covenant". In this one a  woman named Rebekah Goode is an animal doctor around the fifteenth or possibly the sixteenth century and a priest whose a witch hunter  named Cotton Dudley.  Dudley convinces the whole village of where miss Goode resides that he can rid them of Goode because of him being able to bring authority of law to the village by his being their community leader to God. As to if  everyone in the whole village believes him isn't completely clear... when he tries to retrieve the Coin it has him facing Rebekah in the afterlife... it is penned to paper by Michael Walsh, who provided colors for each story of the series till this point.                                                                         So what is my overall opinion of this series called THE SLIVER COIN as a whole, well as I did mention earlier in this very post this series seems to be very much like the Twilight Zone from the late nineteen fifties.. where when you had gotten through a episode you didn't see a twist coming? The Silver Coin comic series has that given feel of that for anyone who has the Coin has mostly good things possibilities when they find it... but at some eventual point in that person's life and the people they know have very bad things end up occurring to all parties involved, especially to the very one who has it. I want to say that so far from what happens in each story so far I have noticed that all of them have a bird in them that might have a connection to the Coin and how it moves (Maybe or Maybe not through as Rod Serling would say in some opening narration of the Twilight Zone "You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight or sound but of mind: a Journey into a wonderous land  whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop the Twilight Zone". Season four's opening by the way, is the closest to describing how the bird places the coin close to his sight. Speaking of sight it seems when the Coin is making a use of it's power it opens like this 

around the etched cross on the center of it. Does the coin posses someone specific that has a dark/ corrupt soul that feeds it existence who's to really know? This is a very interesting horror driven anthology format because each issue is written by a different comic writer every month. All that I can say is that because it has both violence in it and cursing in it as well, this series isn't for children under the age of evelen. As to what do I have as a grade for the series... a very high ranking of an A plus so far...
As to how did our other reviewer Spidey handle this overall, well maybe this might                                                             

                                          shed some light radioactive or otherwise on that very venturous question? 

Here's my review of these three new issues...

                                                                               Hello Comic lovers and fans old and new,                                                                                             Earlier today after work I went and read these three comics seen above from left to right are Hulk vs Thor Banner of war , Jurassic League, Eight Billion Genies, these are of course from three comic book companies and I love all three of them plus one other one. I am honestly hoping that by this very review that I can get at least one if not more new fans for getting into comics... or at least thinking about it for a moment to see if you like them at all?                                                                                                                                                  Overall which one of these three comics brings back great memories for me?, well I will eventually get to that here is 

 all that I have to read as well from that week of May eleventh, twenty twenty two. Along with all of those comics I was able to find the start of a certain oversized novel series that I will truly write about after the fourth of next month because of all things going on in my upcoming vacation time something great is happening is all that I really can saw for now!

Let's begin the review of these starting with the middle one Jurassic League number one of six, it's published by Detective Comics and is by Juan Gedeon as the artist, Mike Spicer as the colorist, Ferran Delgado as the letter, and Juan Gedeon and Daniel Warren Johnson as the writers of this story.  Throughout the course of this series the heroes and villains of the Decetevice Comics universe are yeap various types of dinosaurs in the prehistoric time frame of when coexisting with humanity... imagine if you will Batman,  Wonder Woman, or Aquaman as different type of dinosaurs.  No matter how I look at it I thought it is far better than what is currently going on in the main D.C. universe of all of the heroes being defined by only the sexual preference as their main story arcs is very,  very, sad because shouldn't any hero no matter what be defined by only one trait only! This very book is very great for children with it having great action moments that let them still decide on their own choices of loving the medium if they want.  I would give this comic a rating of a letter grade of B plus. Now what are my thoughts on Eight Billion Genies number one the creative team art wise is by Ryan Browne and colors, lettering by Chris Crank, written by Charles Soule.  This very comic doesn't at all have super heroes at all in it, the story starts out in St. Clair Shores, Michigan at a bar where when given one wish for the owner he wishes that everything outside of the bar won't affect it... but every single person has one wish a piece around the whole planet. I really loved this comic most of all out these three. If I were to say what grade I would give the story as a whole an double A plus, if that's even possible? Oh this title is published by Image comics in case you're interested in knowing!                                                                                                          My thoughts on Marvel comics title of "BANNER OF WAR" , which has art by Martin Coccolo, colorist Matt (wouldn't I just love it my name was here, but of course not really) Wilson, lettering by vc Joe Sabino, written by Donny Cates. This is the start of a five part arc which I will be getting for sure because of the Hulk as my second favorite character of the Marvel Universe... since this was my first comic in a very long time I found myself loving the beat down between Thor the God of thunder and the incredible Hulk have fought seriously several times over the years in their ongoing history and the planet that they are fighting on is known as SAKK-REEN! It also seems as if THE  WATCHER known as UATU ( who mainly oversees every corner of the Marvel multiverses), is a specific spector as to his reasoning of why are beyond every reader as far as I know for right now. The main reason that this mini event is going on between these two gladiators is because currently Donny Cates is writing both of these characters in their own main titles... now why does this really bring back memories of my past as I said earlier in this very post gives me a lot of thoughtfulness thinking of the first Incredible Hulk post series movie known as "THE INCREDIBLE HULK RETURNS" from way back when I was in the ninth grade in nineteen eighty eight where before the Marvel CIMEMATIC universe even existed it was the best marvelous superhero mash up we could get! Also it gives me time to write my many reviews of each episode of the classic iconic series that comes before the first television reunion movie. As to my grade overall for "BANNE R OF WAR" is a B minus!, Happy reading of whatever makes you happiest too!

 

Amazing Spider-Man #1: Byrdseye Reviews

Hello comic fans or soon to be ones,                                                                                                       Okay I know that I love to read alot when I get the chance to, also if you're new here which may be you could be and hey that's more than alright,  I honestly hope that you will enjoy my review of this past Wednesday new comics releases 

    seen here. Needless to say I will get a review of each of very comics super soon (boy from my post way back in the early part of this past February I was that I could be doing this on my own YouTube channel,  because as you know I have the setup equipment for doing it. I have to get my head in to knowing how about setting up my channel.), till then you're going to have to deal with my comic reviews in this long forum and understand that I will be getting there someday hopefully and of course  honestly too. Now before we get into this very issue I also want to point out that all of my reviews for comics of this year will be listed as Byrdseye 2022, I am wanting to make each year of my reviews since 2013 be a bit unique in there own given way also I am still thinking about how I am wanting to review my independent comics that I get from Comicsgate and their many different individual owners but that will be coming to me I am certain very much sooner rather than later too.                                                                                                                                      Now swinging into this brand newest of Amazing Spider-Man issues of number one seen here 

held by Spider-Man himself had quite a variety of variations of covers to choose from and I did end up getting besides the John Romita Jr one, two other ones that my comic shop had set aside for me because I had of course asked for them to. Now just so you know this title with this character has been around since April of nineteen sixty three and that volume had ended back in nineteen ninety eight with issue Amazing Spider-Man #441 with November as the cover date and it's title was "THE GATHERING OF FIVE" part one of  four.  Then right after it ends in Spectacular Spider-Man vol. 1 1976-1998 in issue #262, Marvel started the last original  Spider-Man story called "THE  FINAL CHAPTER" in Sensational Spider-Man vol. 1 ( January 1996- November 1998) issue #33 part one. (Which ends in the Spider-Man (Adjective less title that was stated by in 1990 for artist Todd McFarlane to write and illustrate until he and seven other artists formed Image comics in nineteen ninety two), the title continued for eighty three more issues an ended with "THE FINAL CHAPTER" part four in issue #98! Amazing Spider-Man volume two began in November 1998 with a cover date January and ran until issue Amazing Spider-Man #53 in September of Twenty oh three cover date November twenty oh three.  In October of twenty oh three the title reverted back to it legacy numbers with Amazing Spider-Man #500 that run includes the incredibly disturbing story arc that took me away from the series titled "One More Day" that was Amazing Spider-Man issue # 545. which ended the character for a lot more fans than just myself too. Then the went for a series of the title with "Brand New Day" from twenty oh eight till oh nine starting with issue Amazing Spider-Man issue # 546 through till Amazing Spider-Man # 564.... yet everything from Amazing Spider-Man # 565 till (STILL  FEELS FORCED) by Marvel editorial to keeping reading fans mostly awkward towards the title even when Amazing Spider-Man ended volume two with issue #700. 5 in twenty thirteen in December. Then came a new Spider-Man title in  January of twenty fourteen with a March cover date. Superior Spider-Man #1 till June of twenty fourteen. ( I had started to get over my frustration with Marvel just a bit, but not entirely at this period of time). Volume three of Amazing Spider-Man began with a new number one in April of twenty fifteen (even though it was short run this time around the main writer Dan Slott had let former Spider-Man writer Gerry Conway do a story in this arc) when the title ended at issue #20.1 this volume was where Super Events had really overstretched their boundaries... then volume four came into play... with the story arc being known as "Worldwide" started October of twenty fifteen for thrity two issues by December of twenty seventeen. Of course for those who are wondering or not in volume four of Amazing Spider-Man Peter Parker is rich with money like Tony Strark of Iron man lore is? Say what, right? Then in November of twenty seventeen Amazing Spider-Man again reverted to it's legacy numbers with its December release of Amazing Spider-Man # 789 by now Dan Slott has been on the solo writer for close to a decade of time... yet luckily for us as readers that don't love his work and again that is a lot of us Spider-Man fans... don't have long to wait because after issue Amazing Spider-Man #801 he realizes that he has told everything that he can. Then in September twenty eighteen Amazing Spider-Man volume number five starts with the writer from Captain America's recent series known as Captain America: "Sercet Empire" Nick Spencer was coming an had written a Spider-Man mini series called Superior Foes of Spider-Man in the latter part of Slott's volume three tenure as the scribe of Peter Parker's life. Well his  (Nick's run started very,  very promising and maybe his latter half ( I still have to read it) around issue sixy or so, something great had happened for him... he was to stay till issue Amazing Spider-Man #900.                                                                                                                                          Now since Spencer left the title before he was spouse to Marvel themselves were in a Lurch of what to do with Peter Parker's adventures.... So they had been planning since Peter David's story from twenty sixteen of bringing Spider-Man's clone (which to me I hadn't seen since "The Clone Saga" of the mid nineteen nineties,) was news to me and I will be writing about the news of it rather soon hopefully. Ben Reilly back into the fold of Spider- lore, that story was called "Beyond" and ended in March of twenty two! Now that I really do both of us on the same area of Amazing Spider-Man storywise I can feel comfortable with this review now!                                                                                                            The story's creators are John Romita Jr on art, inks Scott Hanna, colorist Marcio Menyz, letter Joe Caramagna, Writer Zeb Wells. Opens with this   

 as the start of this issue... What has happened in York, Pennsylvania that has a very rattled beaten down Peter Parker holding on to a spider tracer screaming whilst in a smoldering crater? We come to find out next to nothing on the matter, other than we are six months away from what's just transpired? The only thing that we can really know about for sure is that as both Spider-Man or Peter he is on the outs with all of the fellow heroes he knows of, he's also getting stressed about not being able to helping his dear loving anut, or even knowing what Mary Jane has been up to! On top of all of that he's been looking for work of any kind for maybe a long amount of months in the way of time. He as well isn't being nice to his possible old roommate which is Randy Robertson whom is the son of the main city editors at his old place of work called the Daily Bugle and Randy's father is Robbie Robertson.                                                                                                           It seems that while Peter is trying to at same time finding ways to helping Randy when he can, he doesn't know about two gangs planing a war on each other. He does happen to find that Robbie's son is meeting with his father's oldest friend from on the streets known as Tombstone. Yet he doesn't know why they are meeting up? It is then when he sees a member of the other gang getting into a limo that he realizes he forgot his working clothes! When he catches up with them he finds out shall we say more than he bargains for! So he can't win either side of knowing why the war is taking place as Spidey anymore than if he's Peter... When he tries to call Mary Jane she tells him "DON'T CALL ME AGAIN." While talking to associate via his Bluetooth headset Tombstone home is blown up! Peter definitely decides to finding out about this gang war when Tombstone offers him a bit unique advice of telling him to tell some certain  "do gooder" to stay out of his private business.                                                                                                                                Then here's the kicker of all craziness... whose this Paul that Mary Jane is with? and she has children who call her "Mommy?"                                                                                                    Now all that I really can say is who is Paul? Are we in a whole other universe of the Marvel Universe itself? And if the kids are Mary Jane's are they possibly Peter's as well? These are just two of many more questions that I have after reading this very issue.  I know that like me you are going have to wait until next month for any answers if they even are any at all! Have good time reading your comics if you collect them be happy in what you can get of your favorite stories as well! If you don't read comics that's more than alright just promise you will continue to be happy whatever it is you do to keeping your spirits up!
