Title: Chicks & Monsters
Publisher: SQP
Writer: Bill Bronson
Artist: Bill Bronson
Price: $ 9.95 US
Comments: Wow the cover has one sexy purple skinned beauty. Her micro bikini leaves very little to the imagination.
We have some beautiful black and white art. The pin-ups are sexy and provocative. This is a mature comic since it has full nudity. The girls are sexy and weird. The monsters are as funny as they are scary.
A vampire girl, a witch and a golem they make up the Postmortem Girls a rock and roll band. The golem girl is dating a zombie and her father's a mad scientist. That covers most of the monsters. The girls are cute in this story. There are lots of sexy poses of them. It is a fun little story.
The second story The Southside Saints is about monsters protecting humans. They destroy a group of drug dealing Hobgoblins. Its more T & A and lots of fighting, killing and munching on Hobgoblins. They taste delicious.
The third story has the Mothball Jawbreaker Gang going against Plasma Girl. You will not find a more strange and weird grouping of villains than this gang. Darla Dammit their leader is one sexy dangerous babe.
This collection of art and stories is a warped look at the ghoulish world of the supernatural.
Title: Jubilee # 1
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Derec Donovan
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: The cover is dazzling. Jubilee looks excited. The colors are vivid. Her clothes stand out she is a fashion dish.
Right from the start you can feel her enthusiasm. Jubilee moves in with her Aunt Hope in the town of Payton where she was born and grew up. So we get to see how easily Jubilee fits back into the life of a ordinary girl. Ya right. A girl at school does not like Jubilee cause her boyfriend likes Jubilee. So they get into a fight. Jubilee does like the guy. So that will mean more trouble.
Than there’s her aunt. She’s some kind of special agent or something. We and Jubilee will find out in the coming issues what she is and what she’s up to.
Jubilee is drawn as a spunky teenager. The art is a little cartoony but it fits her character and the story.
She’s cute, she’s hot, she’s Jubilation Lee!
Title: Jubilee # 2
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Derec Donovan
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: Jubilee is Payton High's new peer counselor. She'll give her opinion for sure. It turns out she’s good at it. She gives great advice on how to not let people’s hurtful words hurt you.
Jubilee's aunt is going to spoil her. A new cell phone, a motorized scooter.
Basically though this comic is about Jubilee coping with a new school. A new friend, A new life. She has left the X-Men to just try to live a normal life. This girl is fun to watch as she lives her life. She doesn't take crap from anyone. She doesn't care what some idiots think about her. She will always just be herself. She is a spunky, fun loving girl.
She is also a thief. It may only be small things like pretzels and drinks. But stealing is stealing. She learned it surviving on her own, living in a mall. Now she has no need to steal her aunt has lots of money and will buy Jubilee whatever she wants.
Now will there be any super villains showing up? Or will this series focus more on a teen's life like it looks like it will.
The art is simple and shows off the characters nicely.
Title: Jubilee # 3
Publisher: Marvel
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Penciler: Michael O'Hare
Inker: Mostafa Moussa
Price: $ 2.99 US, $ 4.25 Can
Comments: Jubilee gets her first student to counsel. He’s a gang banger. But he doesn't really want to be one. The gang leader talks with Jubilee and she convinces him that Charlie is better off going to school and getting a real life. And he agrees. The gang leader is named Shooter and is always pointing his fingers like he’s holding a gun. He doesn't have a gun he’s a mutant who shoots light blasts. He’s like Jubilee. I bet he'll be showing up again.
Well Jubilee seems to be adjusting well to her new life.
The art is pretty cool. Jubilee may be drawn a little cartoony but she’s still hot.
Title: Jagger: Ultimate # 3
Publisher: Marky Comics
Writer: Mark Cardoso
Artist: Mark Cardoso
Comments: This issue starts out with lots of action. Madam Guardian is fast and skillful. Ultimate though is a powerhouse an unstoppable force. Well at least until he meets up with Minotaur again and is gored. He’s down for the count.
The story continues with Mark and Heather's on again off again ongoing relationship. They are always trying to get together. And it certainly seems as if they do belong together. But something always seems to keep them apart. It would be nice to see them share some happy moments for a change.
The fight scenes look good the goring is well drawn. Madam Guardian's high kick is outstanding.
Title: The Incredibles # 1
Publisher: Dark Horse
Writer: Paul Alden
Penciler: Ricardo Curtis
Inker: Ramon Perez
Price: $ 2.9 US
Comments: This is meant to be a spoof of super-heroes. It could have been a lot funnier. It is fun though. All the supers have been forced to retire and now years later Mr. Incredible gets a call to come out of retirement.
This is based on the Disney movie and it is easy to tell that. The art is like a cartoon.
The story needed more to it. More action would have helped. Seeing the kids with super powers was kind of cute.
