Buffy the Vampire Slayer 15 (Dark Horse Comics)
This current arc ends on a sad note. Xander deals with personal loss, and Dracula shows why he was a bad ass even before becoming a vampire. With all the heavy stuff going on, there’s a funny bit with Dawn dealing with a robot doppelganger.
Criminal 3 (Icon)
Once again Ed Brubaker, and Sean Phillips bring us a depressing, but excellent noir tale. When I say depressing, I don’t mean that as a knock on the story, it’s the just the nature of noir tales. Not a lot of happy people to be found. If you dig Double Indemnity, Out of the Past, or other classic or modern noir tales you should check out this book. This month’s back-up feature is a review of the classic Robert Mitchum film The Yakuza.
Secret Invasion 3 (Marvel)
I am enjoying this series and the accompanying tie-ins. Unlike other mega crossovers, the series and its crossovers seem to fit together rather well. For example, in the two Avengers titles we have seen Nicky Fury gather a new commando squad, and Skrull Queen assume the appearance and powers of Spiderwoman. Both plot threads are introduced at pivotal moments in the story. As for Tony Stark, all I will say is that he appeared to be green-eyed and I don’t think it was because of jealousy. The artwork of Leinil Yu (pencils), Mark Morales (inker), and Laura Martin (colorist) is really good.
