Witchblade #181 sees both the
Darkness and the Witchblade battle it out. Jackie tells Sara this is his world
and his rules and he will release the Ancient Ones so the Darkness can suppress
the light. Aram the previous wielder of the Darkness arrives with a magic sword
from the first world and scroll to contain the Darkness. Sara severs Jackie’s
head and using the words from the scroll the Darkness vanishes. Aram promises
to take care of Jenny and Hope however he also plans to destroy the Witchblade
when the time is right.
Chrononauts #1 Doctors Corbin Quinn
and Danny Reilly develop a means of time travel for Nasa’s Temporal-Observational
Program. Quinn travels into the portal but gets off course due to a glitch and
lands in 1504 so Reilly goes after him. Reilly gets shot by invaders as the
issue ends. The comic series is going to be developed into a movie by
Universal. Overall the issue is light on plot but the Sean Murphy artwork is worth
the price of the issue.
Red
One #1
begins as Soviet spy Vera heads to the United States undercover to stop Pastor
Jacky Core from winning an election by creating a super hero to rival the current
one the Carpenter. The art and story are fantastic however the plot is a little
slow. Sometimes we get over 10 panels on a single page which is very rare these
days. A great first issue for a low price.
