Comic Review: Irredeemable #12 (BOOM! Studios)



The Paradigm: World's Greatest Superheroes, Humanity's Last Hope...Fugitives?




Orian, an old enemy of the Paradigm, stands over Bette Noir and Gilgamos as their allies try to aid a wounded comrade. The combined efforts of the group can barely keep Orian at bay as he brings about a revelation to the world's true source of suffering. While elsewhere, the Plutonian and his revived sidekick take a trip down memory lane by visiting a couple once very close to the former hero.

Ireedeemable #12 is a great issue is this consistently captivating series with it's great balance of action and drama. Waid's ability to continually draw out the Plutonian's humanity regardless of how sadistic his actions may become is one of this series greatest strengths. Krause and Barreto's art is fantastic issue after issue and this was no exception with their attention to detail from something as minimal as a facial expression to the backgrounds the characters inhabit. The issue's final few pages are worth the price of the book itself and will leave you chomping at the bit for the next installment.

Writer: Mark Waid
Artists: Peter Krause and Diego Barreto

COMIC REVIEW: 28 Days Later #8 (BOOM! Studios)



I love zombie/survival stories, and BOOM! Studios' 28 Days Later is fast climbing to the top of the list. Writer Michael Alan Nelson and artist Declan Shalvey keep me intrigued issue after issue. It has it all: infected people, normal people running from infected people, and best of all, normal people killing infected people.




We pick up where we left off last issue, with Selena and Clint trying to make it to the pharmacy, with Douglas in tow. Nelson doesn't wait to start the action, and like most good zombie stories, it begins with a bunch of infected crashing through a window. The whole issue is one long chase sequence in the very best way. Selena kicks major ass (girl power!) on every page, and Clint makes a great partner. The story wraps up with a couple of characters learning a very valuable lesson. If you want to know who and what that lesson is, well, you've got to pick up the book.

I look forward to seeing this one on BOOM!'s list of new releases every month because it's action-packed and well-written. Take it from a girl who loves her zombie stories--this is a can't miss.
