REVIEW: 'Justice Warriors' #3 by Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson

  JUSTICE WARRIORS #3   Writer: Matt Bors Artist: Ben Clarkson Publisher: Ahoy Comics Release Date: August 17, 2022 Cover Price: $4.99 Continuing the outrageous series by Pulitzer-nominee Matt Bors and filmmaker Ben Clarkson. Desperate mutants riot in the Uninhabited Zone! Swamp & Schitt and their fellow riot police fight back! No one in charge knows what to do about it until the pampered Prince of Bubble City gets one of his terrible ideas! Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5)  QUICK REVIEW:  'Justice Warriors' grows increasingly more fascinating with every issue. It began as this absurd satire skewering police brutality, governmental neglect, class systems, activism, corruption cover-ups, and the list goes on. The more outlandish the parody the greater the point. With issue three, Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson continue to escalate the plight of those in the Uz with the riot police taking more lethal steps as they push back. It's gotten much darker and while still bonkers, there'...

Follow Owen and his magical companion, the tender, talking Axe as they spread kindness and hope in a world gone bad...just kidding! Owen, Axe, and Soren are back, and so is all the mayhem and bloodshed that follows them wherever they go! This time, they're out to settle an old score against Gladius, a wicked a$$hole who did Owen wrong way back in his barbarian days. As always...it's just f***ing barbaric. Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) One of the best fantasy titles is back as Owen, his talking axe, Soren, and Steel have their hands full with giant vampires in comics' wildest and most entertaining ride. The new arc wastes no time getting right to the action as the group is in the middle of a fight.  What...
