Green Lantern New Guardians #14
Kyle Rayner’s quest to master the full emotional spectrum continues! In this issue he tries to master both the Indigo light of compassion and the yellow light of fear. And Arkillo is the one who has to teach him the latter. Kyle finds it difficult to master the power of fear, because as a Green Lantern he has to overcome great fear to use his ring. Only by admitting his fear does he finally wield the yellow light. Arkillo joins Kyle Rayner and Carol Farris as they all go off to find Larfleez, the Lantern who will teach Kyle to harness the Orange power of Avarice. With the threat of the third army and the guardians of the galaxy looming, this story is getting very interesting. I seem to be very partial to the writing of Mr. Tony Bedard. And the art by both Andrei Bressan and Amilcar Pina was pretty good. I especially liked the design for Yellow Lantern Kyle. I am looking forward for more!

Justice League #14
This book was silly fun, and sometimes that is all you need in your comics. In the last issue Superman was bitten by Cheetah. He then turns into some kind of crazy cheetah super monster that the Justice League has to battle. We get a little back story on Cheetah herself, and Aquaman reveals his badass-ary by capturing her using piranhas. Superman is healed and the League returns to the watchtower. The part I thought was funny was the date between Superman and Wonder Woman. They are just eating at a diner, in full costume, with dozens of people watching them. We also get a full page splash of Batman spying on this date in a somewhat creepy fashion. It seems that he does not approve. So Geoff Johns gives us an entertaining story, and I can’t wait for the beginning of the War for the Throne of Atlantis. The art by Tony Daniel was great as always. It is also very much in line with what Jim Lee brought to the book. All in all, the cornerstone DC title boldly marches on.

Hawkeye #1
I had heard a lot of good things about this series, so because of that and the low issue count I decided to pick up this series. To be honest, I didn’t think it was the greatest thing in the world. The biggest positive for this series is the art. The art really is amazing. It is simple in the best way, and reminds me of David Mazzucchelli from Batman: Year One. The colors were also good. Everything seemed to have more of a muted tone throughout the book, which I liked. But aside from that, I didn’t really like it. The character of Clint Barton just comes off as an asshole to me, in several of the things that he does. I don’t like the Landlord character that continuously says “Bro”. I do like Kat Bishop from Young Avengers, and also the new character of Pizza Dog. I will give this series a few more issue though, and hopefully my opinion will change.

Batman Inc. #5
This issue is written by the legend Grant Morrison and drawn by Chris Burnham. As the story opens we find Batman, Damian, and the rest of Batman Inc. dealing with the fallout from last issue. Batman witnessed a horrific vision of the future. So with this this device, we again visit the world of Batman 666. A future where Bruce Wayne is dead and Damian Wayne has taken up the Cowl and the things that he has to face are truly terrible. We find this Batman trying to protect a baby then retreating to his stronghold at Arkham Asylum. The city and its people have fallen to chaos and to the Joker Venom, which apparently has infected everyone in the city except Batman and his survivors. Who include Commissioner Barbra Gordon and a pet cat Damian calls “Alfred”. The infection spreads into Arkham and an infected Barbra shoots Batman. Batman then makes his final stand at the steps of Arkham before a nuclear bomb destroys Gotham. We return to Bruce Wayne Batman who tells his son that his mother is planning this. The rest of Batman Inc. is then lured into a building, which then explodes. Major cliffhanger! The art is this book is beautiful. It has a fast and scratchy feel to it. The cover is also just amazing. I want more and more. And fortunately for me we still have seven more issues to go.

Talon #2
It feels strange to call this issue number two of the series when including the zero issue this is the third. This issue was written by Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV and drawn by Juan Jose Ryp. First off I thought that the art war very good. It is very in line with Guillem March and his art style. The story plunges deeper into the dark past of the Court of Owls. Calvin Rose is trying to breaking into a Court of Owls vault to extract all the information they have on him. Rose must confront another former talon to reach his goal. When he does he find out that he has been tricked by his partner. The Court then takes measures to eradicate the former Talon. The cliffhanger truly left me wanting more. This book was a quick exciting read that is highly recommended.

Aquaman #14
This was a fun issue! I laughed out loud several times while reading it. This issue was written by Geoff Jones with art by Pete Woods and Pere Perez. I thought not having Ivan Reis would be a detriment to the art but I quite enjoyed it. One of the things I thought was strange was in the beginning sailors haul up a defeated Atlantean to the deck. The captain then proceeds to finger gill of the captive, which is supposedly behind the ears. That was a real “what the fuck!” moment. Another was the mystery of who is the man in the shadows throughout the book. Apparently he is Arthur Curry’s brother and the current ruler of Atlantis, Orm/Ocean Master. Why keep him hidden at all when he is ON THE COVER! Also, the incarcerated Black Manta incinerates someone. All in all, I liked this issues a lot. Apparently this is a prologue to the Throne of Atlantis story that will spill over into Justice League, and I am hooked!

Legends of the Dark Knight #3
Let me start off by saying how much I love this new series. For those who don’t know, this title is a print collection for DC’s digital first, weekly series. It has an ever changing cast of creators that is amazing! In past issues we have seen the likes of Jeff Lamire take on the bat. In this issue we have Steve Niles of 30 Days of Night fame with artist Trevor Hairsine. On its surface, this looked like just another Batman vs. Joker tale. But the story takes an unexpected, letters-to-Santa esc turn where Batman receives from Commissioner Gordon several sacks of letters. all of which thank Batman for saving them or their loved ones from Gotham city crime. I love how this book pays homage to the Christmas spirit, without going to far over the top with it. I can’t wait to see who comes on to this series next!

I was watching Ink Master. So I decided to try my hand at tattoo inspired art. This came out faster, and was easier than i thought. A lot of fun.
