REVIEW: 'Nemesis: Reloaded' #2 by Mark Millar, Jorge Jimenez, and Giovanna Niro

  NEMESIS: RELOADED #2 Writer: Mark Millar Artist: Jorge Jimenez, Giovanna Niro Letters: Clem Robins Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: February 15, 2023 Cover Price: $3.99 Nemesis continues picking off the city's police force, enlisting the help of not only the town's biggest gang members but of its entire population when he puts a $10,000 bounty on every beat cop's head. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: 'Nemesis: Reloaded' issue one was a seismic blockbuster reintroducing Mark Millar's supervillain in an audacious way. With superstar artist Jorge Jimenez providing the adrenaline-fueled visuals, Nemesis turned Los Angeles upside down by recruiting the underworld and putting a price on cops' heads. Now, in issue two the aftermath of that bounty on cops is filling the streets with blood and putting pressure on the police chief. And that's the idea, to put the chief in a vise until Nemesis gets his hands on him. Millar makes the quick decision to del...

This explosive, 50-page one-shot crossover event will land on shelves this May from Image Comics and kick the Massive-Verse into high gear. A doorway has opened. Beyond it lies the Holy Grail. Yes, that Holy Grail. But why are Radiant Black, Rogue Sun, and The Dead Lucky all so desperate to get their hands on it—and who is the mysterious woman who stands in their way?  “The first Supermassive ignited this shared universe—but now, with all of our series in motion, Supermassive 2023 feels like the Massive-Verse in its prime,“ said the one-shot's writers in a statement about the upcoming release. “Wildly different characters with wildly different personalities and motivations, each with their own history, colliding in a pressure cooker. It...

For the answers to these deathless questions and more, DON'T MISS THIS ISSUE! Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: 'The Least We Can Do' heads into a big battle, the confrontation we've all been waiting for. After a slow start, the action has picked up over the last two issues culminating in a huge showdown. The result is a rewarding and satisfying wall-to-wall action-packed finale that shows off all the training and use of powers that have been discussed ad nauseam throughout the series. Elisa Romboli's choreographed fighting is chaotic and balletic and ma...

REVIEW: 'Dead Kingdom' #5 by Etienne Derepentigny

  DEAD KINGDOM #5  Writer: Etienne Derepentigny Artist: Etienne Derepentigny Letters: Jerome Gagnon Publisher: Red 5 Comics Release Date: February 15, 2023 Cover Price: $3.95 The south of the Kingdom is overtaken by the undead. Kain and his fellow companions are on a mission, to help those who are left behind. Escorting a group of survivors, their skills will be put to the test as they bring them to the Citadel, the last stronghold holding the undead from the rest of the Kingdom. A shocking conclusion also awaits our hero in this final issue of volume 1. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: 'Dead Kingdom' has been a pleasure to read for its medieval take on a zombie outbreak and it's been a great showcase for writer and artist Etienne Derepentigny. The scratchy lines and composition of the art are highly effective, especially with the horrific zombie designs. And in the arc finale, the action is remarkably crisp and impactful with great sequencing. The closing message is s...
