REVIEW: 'The Wrong Earth: Night and Day' #4 by Tom Peyer, Jamal Igle, and Juan Castro

The utility gauntlets are off! The tensions between campy Dragonflyman and his gritty counterpart, Dragonfly, come to a furious boil! It's a rift that can only be settled with fists, gadgets, and—in Dragonfly's case—lethal weapons! EXTRA: illustrated prose, AHOY-style! The Wrong Earth: Night and Day #4 Story by Tom Peyer Art by Juan Castro, Jamal Igle, Andy Troy Letters: Rob Steen Cover by Jamal Igle Publisher AHOY Comics Price 3.99 (USD) Release Date May 5, 2021 Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) When the world was debating between Batfleck, Battison, and Bale, Ahoy Comics' 'The Wrong Earth: Night and Day' asked the question "why settle for one caped crusader when you can have two?" After the campy Dragonflyman and his gritty counterpart, Dragonfly switch universes for a year they must now begrudgingly work together but their personalities and methods clash. Issue four sees the escalation of those conflicts with the boy wonder Stinger caught in the middle. Tom Peyer a...

REVIEW: 'The Wrong Earth: Night & Day' #3 by Tom Peyer, Jamal Igle, and Andy Troy

While investigating Earth-Zeta, the source of their worlds' deadly pollution, Dragonfly and Dragonflyman can't stop fighting over who gets to drive the Dragon Wagon. Illustrated prose fiction rounds out the issue. THE WRONG EARTH: NIGHT & DAY #3 Writer: Tom Peyer Artist: Jamal Igle, Andy Troy Inker: Juan Castro Publisher: Ahoy Comics Release Date: March 10, 2021 Cover Price: $3.99 Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) 'The Wrong Earth: Night & Day' has been one of the year's best comics simply because of the sheer joy it brings. It's two superheroes from different versions of the earth who've swapped places that remind us why we love comics in the first place. The noble do-gooder of Dragonflyman takes us back to another era of polite chivalry and the violent anti-hero vigilante Dragonfly characterizes the modern dark heroes we're most familiar with lately. Together they make a great odd couple providing humor and two different approaches to seeking justice. It m...

REVIEW: 'The Wrong Earth: Night & Day' #5 by Tom Peyer, Jamal Igle, Juan Castro and Andy Troy

 Earth-Omega's Dragonfly and Earth-Alpha's Dragonflyman battle Earth-Zeta's Man-Dragonfly! THE WRONG EARTH: NIGHT & DAY #5 Writer: Tom Peyer Artist: Jamal Igle, Juan Castro, Andy Troy Letterer: Rob Steen Publisher: Ahoy Comics Release Date: July 7, 2021 Cover Price: $3.99 Earth-Omega's Dragonfly and Earth-Alpha's Dragonflyman battle Earth-Zeta's Man-Dragonfly! Could a comic book be any more like a comic book? Plus, illustrated prose, AHOY-style! Score:  ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: Just when things had come to a head between Dragonfly and Dragonflyman, Man-Dragonfly has entered the chat. Eart-Zeta's tech-savvy superhero knows where Stinger is and the other Dragonflys couldn't be happier. Stinger has been a sore subject up to that point. A weird point of contention for Dragonflyman whose uncomfortable talks with Dragonfly about his perceived indifference to his whereabouts have been troubling. It's like two parents arguing over their children but ...

The Best Comics of 2021

It what could be the best year in independent comics in sales and quality, here are some examples of what made 2021 in comics so entertaining, funny, exciting, thrilling, and thought-provoking.  Rumors of the death of the comic industry have been wildly exaggerated. Despite what some angry internet trolls may have posted, the comic book industry is alive and well, thriving in 2021. In fact, since 2012 , book sales have steadily climbed every year becoming a billionaire dollar industry with no sign of stopping. Bolstered by manga, middle-grade publications, and graphic novels, comics are as healthy as ever.  I've been lucky to read and review so many wonderful independent comics thanks to the generosity of comic book publishers, public relations agencies, and creators themselves that reach out and/or agree to provide copies. The truth is, there are too many great comics to not only read but to review in a timely manner. It can be overwhelming, especially for a one-man operat...
