Iman Vellani stars as Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel. The cast also includes Aramis Knight, Saagar Shaikh, Rish Shah, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Matt Lintz, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laith Nakli, Azhar Usman, Travina Springer and Nimra Bucha.

Nyx created by Tom Sniegoski and Ed McGuinness

“Family Meeting”

Nyx is a Vampirella comic book character.  She is the daughter of Chaos the Mad God and a human woman, making Nyx half-demon and half-human, but she needs to feed on human life force in order to live.  Nyx was created by writer Tom Sniegoski and artist Ed McGuinness and first appeared in Harris Comics' Vengeance of Vampirella #23 (cover dated: February 1996).  She is a longtime enemy and sometimes friend of Vampirella.

The character now has her own solo comic book series, entitled Nyx.  It is written by Christos Gage; drawn by Marc Borstel; colored by Jordi Escuin Llorach; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  The series finds Nyx dealing with her emerging human side, although her demon side is still powerful and hungry for human life force.

As Nyx #5 (“Family Meeting”) opens, Nyx has been reading self-help books in order to better understand her human side.  She has also been reading “The Crimson Chronicles,” a powerful occult book, in order to unravel the mysteries of her demon side.

Nyx isn't the only one working on improvement.  Her father, the Mad God Chaos, has whipped himself into shape after being a bit of a mess.  Once again, he is an unstoppable force, so it is time for another family meeting.  He is about to make an offer to his daughter, and Nyx better not refuse?

THE LOWDOWN:  In July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department began providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Nyx #5, the fifth issue of the series that I have read.

What a cleverly written book Nyx is.  Christos Gage has made Nyx not only a thoroughly enjoyable comic book to read, but also a delightful character study.  Dark fantasy action-violence meets the former CBS sitcom, “Mom.”

Marc Borstel's efficient and proficient compositions capture and convey the offbeat nature of Gage's script.  I find Borstel's graphical storytelling to be most engaging, and I always find myself pleased after reading each issue of this exceptional comic book … which you should be reading, dear readers.  Nyx is the tryx for your boredom.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Vampirella comic books will want to try Nyx.

Rated Teen+

Jennifer Blood created by Garth Ennis and Adriano Batista.

“Blood Debt” Chapter One: “First, Do No Harm”

Jennifer Blood is a a comic book character created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Adriano Batista.  A suburban wife and mother by day, Jennifer Blood is a ruthless vigilante by night.  Born “Jessica Blute,” she took her mother's first name, Jennifer, and created the alter ego, "Jennifer Blood," and sought revenge against her father's family for the death of her parents.  The first Jennifer Blood comic book series ran for 36 issues from 2011 to 2014.

Jennifer Blood returns from the dead in a new comic book series, Jennifer Blood Volume 2.  It is written by Fred Van Lente; drawn by Vincenzo Federici; colored by Dearbhla Kelly and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.  In the new series, someone is acting like Jennifer Blood, who is supposedly dead.  And this “copycat” loves to kill criminals just like the original did.  Would you believe that the this copy cat is her daughter once known as “Alice Fellows.”

Jennifer Blood Volume 2 #6 (“First, Do No Harm”) opens in “Sanctuary,” a secret illegal hospital located a half-mile underground.  There, Jennifer recovers from the injuries she earned in Bountiful Utah, a city for the worst east coast mobsters who were in the federal “Witness Protection Program.”

The physician in charge, Dr. Holtham, has discovered her identity and has contact “Platinum,” the criminal daughter of a mobster killed by Jennifer Blood years ago.  She wants revenge and is sending her best man, Paul Whiteman, to do the job.  Unfortunately, there is some confusion.  Luckily, Jennifer also has a killer on her side.

THE LOWDOWN:  In July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department began providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Jennifer Blood Volume 2 #6.  This is the sixth Jennifer Blood comic book I have read, although I had previously heard of the series.

Fortunately, Jennifer Blood Volume 2 #5 was not the final issue of this current series.  I thought it was, but issue six is here and Dynamite's answer to Marvel Comics' The Punisher is back to bust some caps and to spill blood by the buckets.

Writer Fred Van Lente's deranged imagination is still producing the good stuff, and this new story arc offers an intriguing new plot and lots of nice and nasty villains.  Artist Vincenzo Federici picks up right where he left off with some potent storytelling and he sells the new … team-up quiet well.  So, dear readers and lovers of gun action, why don't you join us.  Jen still has a target list.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Jennifer Blood will want to read Jennifer Blood Volume 2.

Comics Review: The Invincible RED SONJA #8

THE INVINCIBLE RED SONJA #8

STORY: Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti

COLORS: Matt Carter
LETTERS: Dave Sharpe
EDITOR: Matt Idleson
COVER: Amanda Conner with Paul Mounts
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Joseph Michael Linsner; Celina; Frank Cho; Carla Cohen; Jamie Biggs; Elias Chatzoudis; Amanda Conner, Rachel Hollon cosplay

“Eight”

Red Sonja is female high fantasy and sword and sorcery hero.  She first appeared in Conan the Barbarian #23 (cover dated February 1973) and was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith.  Red Sonja was loosely based on “Red Sonya of Rogatino,” a female character that appeared in the 1934 short story, “The Shadow of the Vulture,” written by Conan the Cimmerian's creator, Robert E. Howard.

In 2005, Dynamite Entertainment began publishing comic books featuring differing versions of the character.  One of those is The Invincible Red Sonja.  It is written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti; drawn by Moritat; colored by Matt Carter; and lettered by Dave Sharpe.  In this recently launched series, Red Sonja finds herself on a spectacular journey filled with pirates, mermaids, princesses, and political intrigue as the fate of two kingdoms hangs in the balance.

The Invincible Red Sonja #8 opens as Red Sonja and Tuma continue to battle against the warriors and strange creatures of the Darklands.  Although she is able to hold them off for a moment, Sonja and company eventually succumb to their leader, Rok, and his forces.

Then, it is on to the city of Capellia.  Awaiting Sonja there is the living god, Tezzah, and in the god's arena, her son.  To save herself and her friends, Sonja must defeat him.

THE LOWDOWN:  In July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department began providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is The Invincible Red Sonja #8, which is the fifth issue of the series that I have read.

Simply put,  Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are killing it.  They not only depict Sonja as the ultimate bad-ass female warrior, but they also pit her against the best adversaries.  It is pure sword and sorcery, and the result is one of the most enjoyable comic books that I am currently reading.  It is raw and funny.  It is violently crazy and crazily violent.

Artist Moritat's plump breasted and heavily muscled Red Sonja will bring all the boys to the yard.  Matt Carter's hue bring the story to life in living color.  The Invincible Red Sonja is a comic book that I must recommend, dear readers, because it is one of the best Red Sonja comic books in years.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Red Sonja comic books will want to read The Invincible Red Sonja.
