Creator Owned Heroes #8

Creator Owned Heroes has been a bold experiment for comics, and its end doesn't bode well for an industry that continues to struggle (despite recently reported sales increases over previous years). Here's wishing all the best to all the creators involved, and hoping that any similar offerings meet with better reception in the future.

4/5

Green Hornet Year One Special

Year One is a famous title in the comic world. When one says it, they are usually referring to Batman: Year One. The cool thing about a Year One is that it's able to explore a character's yesteryear, whether it be the origin or a past adventure. The Green Hornet: Year One Special  is an interesting comic. Rather than explore the yesteryear of the Hornet and Kato, it's told through a 13 year old girl. It was definitely one of the most heartfelt comics I've read in awhile.

4.5/5

Pathfinder #4

Pathfinder is back with a spider and goblin filled fourth issue. This series has been very good, with some of the most fun characters you'll read. It's all-out fantasy, dwarfs, goblins, swords, it's what you get when you combine The Lord of the Rings with something a little more lighthearted. This issue sees the heroes take on the giant spiders from last time, we meet a new character and...the goblins return. Another extremely fun issue, everyone should be picking up this fantasy epic.

4.5/5

Transformers Spotlight Thundercracker #1

Similar to last month's issue on Orion Pax. This month there is another focus with Transformers Spotlight: Thundercracker. These spotlight issues do strongly rely on their choice of character to focus on, but utilizing a secondary character such as Thundercracker actually appears to be more of a benefit at times.

4/5

Chasing the Dead #3

Chasing the Dead is back with its penultimate issue. I haven't read too many comics like it, it's part thriller, psychological horror, and...zombie? There are many readers (myself included) that had never read the novel, so this would be something completely fresh. Susan is just a mom who wants her daughter back and is constantly being tormented by phone calls from the 'Harvester.' In this issue we learn some interesting things about the kidnapper, and the body count sky rockets.
