Havok and Iceman wine at each other like children. The super apes just act silly. The art has nothing that makes it stand out. It is fairly bland. Seeing Storm and T'Challa kiss was a nice touch with the promise of maybe more romance some day. T'Challa does show some of his royal attitude. He lets you know he is a King. Title: Captain America # 11 Publisher: Marvel Writer: Ed Brubaker Penciler: Steve Epting Inker: Steve Epting & Mike Perkins Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Comments: We watch as Bucky Barnes is taken from frozen in ice to an assassin with a robotic arm. The Winter Soldier is a pitiful creature only awakened when he is needed to kill someone. He didn't ask for any of this. He doesn't deserve it. Most of his memories are gone but buried deep inside is some part of who he once was. So he stands frozen in a warehouse awaiting his next assignment. Its a sad existance if you can call it that. Captain America, Steve Rogers is only in the comic for a few pages more than enough time to show how much he misses Bucky. The art for this type of story is fitting. Its somber and dark. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS OBSCURA Mike Curtis shandafa@cyberback.com [COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30 years of collecting Superman and writing about comics. His website for his comic imprint is www.shandafantasyarts.net ] HERE COMES MARVEL MULE In 1950, comedian Jack Carson made THE GOOD HUMOR MAN, a low budget film dealing with an ice cream vendor and his adventures with a gang of neighborhood kids. In the film's plot, all the youngsters gather each afternoon to listen to THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN MARVEL on the radio, while wearing their Capt. Marvel capes, including Carson. When in trouble, club members are supposed to give a distress call of NAITPAC LEVRAM. At the film's conclusion, all the club members come to Carson's rescue, including a mule wearing a Captain Marvel cape! To top off the film's comic significance, the chief villain would be wearing tights and cape the next year on film. He went on to fame playing SUPERMAN on television and his name was George Reeves. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [10] Multiverse Observer and Explorer Reviews Paul Dale Roberts Silhouet98@cs.com http://www.jazmaonline.com [Paul promotes amateur and professional comic book artwork, scripts, storylines, and unpublished comic books with a newsletter called the Peoples' Comic Book Newsletter.

Name: Flare #15 Jan 06 - Adventures in Olympus - Eos - Goddess of Dawn Publisher: Heroic Publishing Creative Force: Dennis Mallonee, Larry Houston, Jeff Albrecht, Mike Estlick & others. Website: www.heroicpub.com Email: licensing@heroicpub.com Price: $2.99 Comments: Eos aka Teresa aka Flare is in a place like heaven that we all know as Olympus, she bathes in the sunlight and feels good about herself, she had some problems with Giant, but things are peaceful now. In this peaceful solitude, it is soon interrupted by Mr. Pan. Mr. Pan plays a song that is dedicated to the beauty of Flare. I must say that Flare does look pretty hot in this issue. But, I won't get into that. Uh..huh. Pan tries to seduce Flare, but is a gentleman about it and Flare flies away knowing that Giant truly does love her, but they must be separated, because Flare must be on Earth with the Champions. In the second story we have Ms. Feran doing some modeling poses for a photographer and she has this nifty superhero costume on. Donnah observes that Terri's back is still scarred by the Tigress and if something isn't done soon, she will have permanent scars. Donnah is going to consult her grandfather to see if some type of magic will eliminate the scar tissue. As the story progresses you will see Aphrodite go up against the Cyclops, luckily Pan is there to assist her. Pan and Aphrodite hit if off romantically and Pan when he gets his way, says that from this moment on, you belong to me. When Aphrodite finally slays the Cyclops, she is thanked for this deed by the dying Cyclops, for now his mistress Nyx can be reborn! The story and the artwork in Flare #15 will take your breath away! Name: Flare Presents - The Adventures of Chrissie Claus #30 Jan 06 Publisher: Heroic Publishing Creative Force: Wilson Hill, Luise Perrine, Gordon Purcell, Terry Pallot, Terrance Griep, Alfredo Alcala & others. Website: www.heroicpub.com Email: licensing@heroicpub.com Price: $2.99 Comments: Chrissie and her friends, Holly Holiday, Missy Mistletoe, Ginger Snap and Penelope Pixie went on Spring break in Fort Lauderdale and met some boys and had some fun, but Holly got snippy and stole Chrissie's magic hat, when a dragon came looking for Chrissie, the hat got Holly into trouble. Holly's been caught and Chrissie's going to have to rescue her. That is where the story resumes. Holly Holiday is swept up by this incredibly huge dragon. The aerial scenes are exciting to look at, the dragon is drawn with such clarity, and it's almost like watching a movie. Holly is taken to a demonic entity that is surrounded by his minions. This entity wants to capture Christmas, not a Holiday and when Holly plants a kiss on him, he is repulsed and finds her to be wicked. Penelope Pixie will remind you of Peter Pan's Tinkerbelle, she's a tiny flying woman creature that buzzes all over the place. The evil minions make toys like Johnny Switchblade, a doll that carries a switchblade. In this issue, you also get a 2nd story called The Divine Intervention that has completely different artwork from the artwork that you become used to with Heroic Publishing. The artwork in this story is very realistic. When a holy man thinks he has saw an angel, the reader realizes he actually is seeing another superheroine from the universe of Heroic Publishing! After you see Harry Potter 4 this holiday season, save yourself an added treat with The Adventures of Chrissie Claus #30! Name: The Middle Man #3 Publisher: Viper Comics Creative Force: Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Les McClaine Website: www.vipercomics.com Price: $2.95 Comments: Our heroine is Wendy Watson. Once a plain girl with meaningless jobs, she has now been recruited to work for a secretive organization to fight the bad, the strange and the repulsive. Now she must investigate for The Middleman, a series of murders of leaders of the criminal underworld by a killer who is elusive, ruthless and cunning. Wendy considers herself now a superhero, but she must solve crimes via computer, her adventure takes her to the Simionica Animal Research Laboratories and she encounters genetically engineered chimps. These monkeys are well taken care of, they even have internet and mail order privileges. There is plenty of drama, some humor and plenty of action. Wendy plays around with some weapons and one weapon is like a light saber, she is told to be careful with it. They chase after a talking genetically altered monkey in the jungles. The artwork is black and white, but fits with the story well. The artwork is majestically done. The Middle Man is a cross between X-Files and 24, it can't get any better than this! Name: Karma Incorporated #2 and #3 Publisher: Viper Comics Creative Force: David Hopkins, Tom Kurzanski, And Marlena Hall Website: www.vipercomics.com Price: $2.95 Comments: I love Karma Incorporated, you can hire someone from this organization to ruin someone's day, let's say they get some karma payback! A staff member wants some Karma payback on his boss Donald Williams and is willing to pay to ruin his boss's day and Karma Incorporated will make it look like an accident. Donald Williams aka Mr. Donny (that's what he has his employees call him) gets trapped in an elevator for 3 hours and then is smothered by cockroaches. Karma Incorporated tries to convince the police that they are a data solutions company, when the police try to shut down their business. The artwork is filled with bright colors and the artwork is done with sharpness, it's eye-candy to the reader. There is some intense drama as a big thug tries to rob a white collar worker and gets shot in the process. In the 2nd issue, our white collared business man Rob Wilson life is falling apart, his suburban life is in ruins, his wife was having an affair and she hired Karma to ruin his life. Rob had his policeman friend bully Karma and then of course he was confronted by the thugs that tried to rob him and he shoots one of them. Remember the dog crap in a burning paper bag door trick? That trick is pulled in the 2nd issue as the victim tries to stamp out the fire. Of course the whole house catches on fire. There is some domestic violence shown in this story and it's pretty graphic. In fact the scenes reminded me of the movie 'The War of the Roses'. Karma Incorporated is an intense story that will keep you riveted from the beginning to the end! Name: Dead@17 Protectorate #1 Publisher: Viper Comics Creative Force: Alex Hamby, Benjamin Hall, Marlena Hall, Josh Howard Website: www.vipercomics.com Price: $2.95 Comments: Wow! Angels are depicted in the beginning of this story and these are angels that you have never seen before. Chaos ensues in heaven and one of the angels is eaten alive by large black birds. From Heaven to Pottersfield, the man asleep in Pottersfield wakes up from this nightmare of angels, or is it a nightmare? Now scene shift to Darlington Hills where innocent girls talk of a Spring dance. When a religious man finds the Seraph's chronicle, he must battle the demon known as Legion. His battle is short lived, his bravado is short lived, as Legion has there way with him. The Legion gets around, because we all know the Legion from the Exorcist and when I did my research on the movie The Possession of Emily Rose, the real Emily Rose claimed to be possessed by several demons and The Legion was one of them. You will find shocking demonic possession here in this story too. Hideous violence that will place goose bumps on your body. It's a war of good v. evil. When our heroine confronts a multitude of the undead, you wonder if evil will win out. The artwork is superb in this comic book and the colors work well on the scenery and the characters. Dead@17 Protectorate is some scary s###t! I make no bones about it! MOE Sidenote: I am back from my vacation that took me to places like Newark, New Jersey (layover before going over to Madrid); Madrid - Sevilla / Spain; Gibraltar; Vilar Formoso - Portugal; Tangier - Morocco/North Africa. Now that I am back, I am here to see some of the new comic books on the racks at A1 Comics. Of course, I have to enter the A1 Comics Stargate into some of these new realities.

Multiverse Observer and Explorer signing out until next time! _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- COMICS OBSCURA Mike Curtis shandafa@cyberback.com [COMICS OBSCURA are facts Mike Curtis has dug out during his 30 years of collecting Superman and writing about comics.

Dork Storm Press www.Dorkstorm.com LETHARGIC LAD JUMBO-SIZED ANNUAL #3 48 pages, black & white, color cover, $3.99 Greg Hyland - Creator, Writer, Artist www.lethergiclad.com Additional material by Luc Latulippe, Brian Lemay, John Migliore, Steve Remen. Lethargic Lad is often seen as a backup strip in DORK TOWER and in a weekly strip on his own web page. Indeed this annual is a compilation of strips from June 2003 through February of 2005 from that web site as well as some contributions previously in DORK TOWER. LL is just a weird kid who uses his amazing powers of lethargy to become Lethargic Lad. He has a group of "other" Lethargic Lads that work with him and one is really Naked Blue Girl but then in black & white they all look white. In case you haven't guessed, this is super heroics at its silliest. The gang gets distracted as do the villains. One arc they are on a quest to get a new outfit for Lethargic boy, the obligatory sidekick who resembles that kid from the Hawaiian Punch commercials (raise your hand if you remember him!). He ends up in a costume resembling Robin I, which leads to in-jokes about comics. In fact there are a lot of those which helps to hold our interest as we move from crazy plot to crazy plot. Once in a while Greg even segues off to cartoons of himself talking to a frog. Then there is the robot who wipes out the gang and has to go back in time to stop himself. It is all quite funny, especially the send up of pop culture icons. I'll admit I was not enamored of the strip in smaller doses as a back up strip but the full stories read well and are more fun. There is a lot of hard work in every page and it shows. DORK TOWER #32 40 pages, full color, $3.49 Created by John Kovalic Colors by Melissa Kearcher Actually, the first 4 pages are in black and white. It appears aspiring comic book creator Matt has gone in search of his true love, Gilly the Perky Goth. After some awkward moments they finally kiss and then . . . she is called away at the sound of a scream as she changes into THAT GRRRL! What this is in reality is Matt's attempt to finish his mini-comic before the big convention in town. Unfortunately, this take is not received too well critically with his friends. Meanwhile, Igor is trying to keep his sanity as all the guests for the con he is running are cancelling - all except Wil Wheaton. So as Matt tries to find his muse and get his comics right, Igor is faced with running the show single-handed, with a lot of volunteer help from Wil - too much. It is all sprinkled with some of the best humor about gamers, pop culture fans and people in general. John has a good handle on structure, plotting, pacing and emphasis. His art is just another aspect of the big story and blends into the experience seamlessly. It is always fun to read anything he is involved with. The second half is back up strips featuring Lethargic Lad in what appears to be a Triple Villain Team-Up. The simple answer is the punch line. There is a long installment of SNAP DRAGONS by Kovalic and Liz Rathke. This is about two kids very much into games of al types but are banished to the bedroom for some mischief they committed. So how can they pass the time? How else but with a game of fantasy. They imagine a voyage on a sailboat to a far land inhabited by friendly monsters. They have all kinds of fun playing all kinds of games. By the end you wonder who is imagining who. It is a clever tale that took me back to a simpler time when friends and would imagine living on an island with prehistoric creatures, pirates and other dangers lurking everywhere. Imagination is a wonderful thing. DORK TOWER has been a favorite of mine from the start. John keeps it fresh and entertaining. The addition of color makes it even better. This is a good issue to check it out. PS238 #12 & #13 32 pages, black & white, color covers, $2.99 by Aaron Williams aaron@ps238.com This two-issue arc deals with time travel. The standard cliche when mentioning time travel stories is they make your head hurt; what with the paradox possibilities, alternate timelines and so on. I think they are fun if done for fun and PS238 is always great fun. If you are familiar with the recent movie SKY HIGH you will see a very familiar premise - but Aaron was there first. PS238 is a school, elementary not high school, for kids of super powered people. Most are developing their powers and so the school aids in that education as well - sort of like Xavier's school but more formal. One among them, Tyler, is the child of the premier heroes of the age and yet he has no powers. They hope he will develop some and so he is allowed to attend this exclusive school. As we have seen in the past he is able to get into just as much trouble as the others without any powers of his own. This time his friend Tom gets Tyler involved in a mission through time. Tom's power is the ability to shift himself, and others, in time. When his future self shows up as he and Tyler are studying they drag Tyler to a castle "beyond time and space". This is where it gets tricky. As he passes through a hall of mirrors his reflections change in each one. Sometimes he has a helmet and armor, another sunglasses and a jump suit. But he learns by touching one that he can share the mind of this alternate Tyler. Each mirror shows a different or alternate time stream. In some Tyler has gotten super powers, they do not all show him in a good light. But one passes words of assurance that not having powers does not mean he isn't strong or important - in fact he may be the most important Tyler of all. This is all to prepare us for the real adventure he is about to have. Tom and Future Tom find him and advise him he has to stop their other classmate, Zodon (a brilliant kid in a levitating chair), from messing around with time travel. All he has to do is go through the time portal and attach a gizmo to the back of the chair at the precise moment in time they send him. That adventure unfolds in issue #13. There is a lot going on in these issue. If you are new you can delight in the structure, the exceptional artwork and the wonderful sense of humor that is the hallmark of all of Aaron's work. We meet new characters Captain Chronos, the self-proclaimed guardian of time and his arch-nemesis the Time Master. These are fun guys with a secret or two. We also have Tyler meet a character in the 1960's from way back in issue #8. He was involved in earlier things involving PS238 and through this story becomes more involved in its future. The kids have some fun, bounce around in time, solve a mystery and save the day. In the end Tyler also scores some old comics for his efforts. The back up stories by Aaron are Full Frontal Nerdity, his own take on gamers with their quirks and Nodwick, the other comic title he publishes. They fill out both issues, along with some text and letters and give you your money's worth. NODWICK #29 & #30 32 pages, black & white, color covers, $2.99 by Aaron Williams Nodwick is a henchman to a band of adventurers in a middle ages world with sorcerers, magic, dragons and all sorts of supernatural beings. This group includes their own mage, a mercenary and a female cleric who mostly tends to Nodwick after he gets pummeled doing all the dirty jobs. It often takes a lot of duct tape to put him back together again. The first story is very clever. It sends our group on a quest to aid the Legion of Princesses. They are the guardians of the 128 bits that make up the world and they have been invaded. Count Repugsive has scattered most of the bits but held back only 8, which he will scatter and thereby destroy the world unless the rulers of the lands surrender. Nodwick's band gets the job to defeat him because, well, they are near. Then the art changes completely to pixel art or sprite images like those in very old video games, hence the reference to 8 bits. But the strength of the book is not in this gimmick but in the story which takes the form of a video game with Nodwick being the character in play. Fortunately for him he can call for help and one of the others appears. It is like watching screen captures from Mario Brothers complete with one ups, flaming fireballs and even a powerup that turns Nodwick into Yeagar the mercenary. Who hasn't found the ultimate gliche that allows for many 1-ups? It is all in there, including a decisive GAME OVER. In issue #30 the gang gets a visit from an old friend who brings along a dragon. She is Rowena the mercenary claiming she was given the dragon in lieu of her latest fee. But the real story starts elsewhere as the Lord of Evil, Baphuma'al, is on the move with an army of skeletons. Meanwhile our valiant adventurers are trying to tend to the dragon and mainly keep him from eating Nodwick. Yeager gets an unexpected visitor and they all realize they have to find the world's laziest henchman, Nitwick, if they hope to defeat the master of black magic. That is if they can escape from the warriors of the Duke that Rowena stole the dragon from! This is the beginning of a story that stretches bach to much earlier issues but is still accessible to new readers. Again, the art and the humor tie it all together into one of the best "funny books" on the market today. Add the backup strip is 9-1/2 Geeks by Stacy Heger and Misty Gates. The change in style is jarring at first. While it is not bad it is less fluid with very little background - mostly talking heads. The geeks are gamers and the plot is a bit thin with not much punch. I think Aaron is giving exposure to these people but the quality is not up to the usual features that fill out the Dork Storm titles. ***** THE WANNABE #2 32 pages, black & white, color covers, $3.00 Naked Productions www.naked-productions.com Chris Hollmer - Creator/Letters chris@naked-productions.com Courtney Huddleston - Pencils James Taylor - Inks James Dean Smith - Ink Assists Cover - Mike Zeck/Mike Garcia This is the story of Erik Miller, a regular guy whose life changed when his wife is gunned down by a mobster. After drowning his sorrows for months he happens on a crime and takes charge by beating the criminal. This event sets him on a path to train himself to be something more so he can challenge those that changed his life. In this issue he is getting seriously into weapons. He wants to buy the best and most efficient and finds a mentor to help him become the best shooter with any gun.Next he scores an interview with the New York Time's authority on the Russian mob. He is slowly working on a plan and gaining information as well as weapons and clothes to do something, and we get the feeling he is not going to be as nic as Batman would be. The best part of this book is definitely the art. If you haven't seen Huddleston and Taylor in action it is worth it just for the art. The story is a bit slow in getting where it is going but here is enough to keep your interest. You know at some point Erik is going to start shooting things up, you just want him to get to it. But the gathering of information and the training is part of the plan. This is a five-issue arc so I think we will get to the heart of the matter before too long. This is a decent independent effort that deserves a chance. SPRING HEELED JACK 28 pages, black & white, $2.50 Created and self-published by Jeff Potter jkspott@gemair.com OK, this is yet another independent comic about a kid who gains powers and uses them to fight evil. If you think that is not a good idea you've missed the last 6 decades worth of comics. Yeah there are a lot of super hero comics out there. The trick to success is to do them in a different way, one that hasn't been done or adds a new dimension. This origin story begins with a group of men with evil intent. They have found a gateway to another dimension wherein lay fabulous wealth. By tracking down ancient manuscripts they learned not only how to access that world but also about an entity that guards the space between the dimensions. Their's is an uneasy alliance and as is often the case evil is rewarded with more evil. When the ritual to open the gateway is successful it unleashes the dweller between dimensions, a giant dragon, into our world. Unfortunately it approaches the carnival which has a large crowd attending. Our boy, Tom Nester, has a unique encounter with the dragon, surviving a blast of his breath and gaining the power to jump real high. Now he must try to use this ability to keep the dragon from harming others. The action part of the book is in the second half and is the best part, reading like a well crafted book from any of the major companies. The art is a little heavy on the ink in parts but is better than most first efforts I have seen. As a self contained story it reads well so it remains to be seen how far Jeff can take it. The beginning, which I have left out a lot of detail about, is rather wordy. Jeff goes into lots of text about how the whole alternate dimension was originally found and how the bad guys planned to use the information about it for their own gain. I thought he dwelled on this part a little too long, but not much. The issue ended where it should and was not too long nor did it lack anything to make it a good read. I hope this is a success because I would like to see where Tom, or Spring Heeled Jack as he will be known, goes next. The back cover suggests a costume and other foes that look interesting. And as an added treat Jeff includes a couple of single panel jokes that are very good. Not bad for only $2.50! _________________________________________________________________ Thanks for subscribing to the Comic Book Network Electronic Magazine (CBEM) --------------------------->Disclaimer<--------------------------- This is an ANNOUNCE only mailing list, only the Editor can send messages to the list.
