Quick Comic Reviews

Hello, gentle readers! Sorry I've been incommunicado for most of the month but life happened. Still, I didn't want the entire month to go past without some kind of activity here on the blog. So, without further ado, a super-quick review of three of this week's comics!

First up is Gotham City Garage.  This is an Elseworls book set outside of the normal DCU. Comparing it to Bombshells wouldn't be out of place, at least, as far as content goes. The story isn't very interesting and neither is the art. Overall, I'd give this book a pass if I were you.  It's pretty much filler. 1/5 stars.

Next up is Jimmy's Bastards.  The premise is amusing: what if a womanizing super-spy, a la James Bond, was suddenly confronted by all the murderous offspring he'd conceived over the years? Well, that's what Jimmy Regent is facing. So far, with three issues down, it's been a fun little book. If you just want a fun read, I'd say give this a try.  3/5 stars.

Finally, we have Secret Empire. Yes, this is the book that turned Captain America into a Nazi. Yes, it was the core book of another "Marvel Event." That's two strikes against this thing already. So, does it get a third strike? Boy, does it ever. This book is a hot mess. Like all recent Marvel events the climax is utterly flat and there won't be any longterm ramifications or fallout from this title. If there is, I'll be genuinely surprised.  Give this a pass. Zero/5 stars.
