By: Cynthia A. Grimm Fairy Tales: OZ #6 Part 6 (of 6): Death in the Emerald City I did not see that coming. The Tin Man was the bad guy while the Scarecrow was the good guy! Of course, the writers made it a bit too obvious to suspect him so that made it obvious that he wasn’t the bad guy, but really, the Tin Man! Now, as good as this adaptation was, it left many questions unanswered. What made Dorothy so […]
By: Cynthia A. Star Wars: Darth Vader #2 The Cry of Shadows – Part 2 Another amazing issue to go into the Darth Vader vault. This issue revolves around the building relationship between the former clone trooper Koda as he dons on is old armor in the service of the Empire, his anger and hatred for the Jedi the glue that helps the relationship grow. The issue is more narrative than anything, exploring who this character is and his motivation to join […]

By: Cynthia A. Worlds’ Finest #18 Control Issues Power Girl is fun. Her powers are out of control ever since her encounter with Desaad her powers have been crazy going on and off. So in the last issue, she decides that a sun bath in space should work better for her. Even that gets out of hand as she can’t even her intake, falling down to Earth crashing near Helena and causing disaster to reign. So Helena needs to hold her under […]
Star Wars #10 — I love Star Wars and I love reading this series. This is the way the Star Wars saga should be continued if they are not going to do the movies right. Don’t get me wrong, I trust and love J. J. Abrams but let’s face it, right now the only reason Star Wars has been able to stay afloat is because of the books, the comics and the loyal fans who continue to have a new hope. Because […]
Star Wars #9 The Rebellion Darth Vader knows where his son is! Let’s recap, Boba Fett is hunting down Han Solo, well the hunting is done, the dude has him in his sights, ready to shoot and capture. Until Chewie and the Millennium Falcon come to the rescue. But you can’t keep a good bounty hunter down now can you, that’s what makes them so good. I love the snarky attitude in the character Han Solo, it just adds to his charming […]
Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin #5 Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin Part 5 (of 5) Darth Vader was the prey here in five issue series. But the prey soon became the predator as he soon found himself in a web of lies and mystery. But then again, he didn’t really know that everything was a plot by Emperor Palpatine to ensure that he had his complete and utter devotion. Well, he’s certainly a jerk now isn’t he. But […]
Star Wars #7 The Rebellion Era After saving Princess Leia who was near death, Luke and Leia are now on Tatooine and are paying respects to his aunt and uncle while they also formulate a plan of attack on the Empire. Espionage time! It was a slow issue that focused more on someone who Lord Vader has faith in. It’s difficult though to see who the traitor in the Rebellion is. But we know that the woman who Lord Vader has faith […]
Star Wars #6 This story takes place after Episode IV: A New Hope and before Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Han Solo is missing in action with Boba Fett hunting him down (no surprise there) on Coruscant, and Imperial Planet. But more on that later. The main issue of this story line is the fact that Leia is trapped in space with a Star Destroyer on her tail, tracking her and her team. But there are two problems: Leia is injured […]
By: Katey Rich Just as J.J. Abrams managed to update Star Trek with younger, better-looking versions of all the original characters, he’s apparently bringing a lot of more attractive faces to Star Wars.Bleeding Cool has gotten its hands on what they swear is a 100% verified casting breakdown for agents hoping to get their actors on the call sheet for Star Wars: Episode VII, which has set up offices in the UK. Unlike some rumors that have surfaced recently, the casting breakdowns aren’t detailed enough to give away […]
