Book Review: Patricia Cornwell's CHAOS

CHAOS
HARPERCOLLINS – @HarperCollins

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

AUTHOR: Patricia Cornwell – @1pcornwell
ISBN: 978-0-06-243668-9; hardcover (November 15, 2016)
398pp, B&W, $28.99 U.S.,$35.99

Chaos is a 2016 crime novel from best-selling author Patricia Cornwell.  It is the 24th novel in Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series, which began with the 1990 novel, Postmortem.   Chaos finds Dr. Scarpetta investigating the mysterious death of a 20-something young woman, and the clues point to an unlikely and perhaps impossible means of death.

Chaos opens on a Wednesday, September 9th, a particularly harried day for Dr. Kay Scarpetta, forensic pathologist and director of the Cambridge Forensic Center (CFC).  The hustle and bustle is leading towards an event at Harvard in which Kay will share the stage with an old colleague.  However, in the sweltering heat of a late Summer day, a young woman is killed shortly after meeting Kay.  The investigation is also complicated by a cyberbully who calls himself “Tailend Charlie,” and it seems that Kay isn't his only target.

After reading 2014's Flesh and Blood and 2015's Depraved Heart, Chaos is the third Kay Scarpetta novel (and also the third Patricia Cornwell novel) that I have read.  Flesh and Blood read as if it were a blend of the action-adventure, mystery, and spy genres.  Depraved Heart felt like a crime novel transported into the haunted house genre.

Unpredictability is the theme of Chaos.  Practically every scene, subplot, and character entrance seems to be manipulated by a puckish game master, and in this shifting field of play, Cornwell presents Kay Scarpetta as vulnerable and exposed.  The brilliant scientific mind seems almost ordinary, a working stiff who must rely on her training, knowledge, and skill because of a homicide and an enemy that both challenge her in... well, unpredictable ways.

I guess it comes down to the simple fact that Chaos is an excellent read.  Not being able to predict what is around every literary corner makes each chapter an enticing piece of candy.  You can't eat just one, and you want still more when you get to the last tasty chapter.  And, of course, the ending of Chaos makes us eager for candy man Patricia Cornwell to offer her next treat – same time next year.

Review: SILVER SURFER #1

SILVER SURFER No. 1 (2016)
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

WRITER: Dan Slott
ART: Michael Allred
COLORS: Laura Allred
LETTERS: VC's Joe Sabino
COVER: Michael Allred and Laura Allred
VARIANT COVERS: Marco Rudy; Cliff Chiang
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (March 2016)

Rated T+

“Homecoming”

The Silver Surfer is a Marvel Comics superhero and space fantasy character.  He was created by Jack Kirby and first appeared in Fantastic Four #48 (cover dated:  March 1966).  The Silver Surfer is a humanoid with metallic skin (white or gray or white/gray swirl), and he travels space with the aid of his surfboard-like craft (or maybe, it's an actual surfboard).

The Silver Surfer was a young astronomer named Norrin Radd.  He saved his home world, Zenn-La, from Galactus, a being that devoured planets, by agreeing to serve as his herald.  Galactus imbued Radd with a tiny portion of his “Power Cosmic,” and he became the Silver Surfer.  Traveling faster than the speed of light, the Silver Surfer roamed the cosmos, searching for planets for Galactus to consume.  When Galactus prepared to devour Earth, the Surfer rebelled and saved the planet.  Galactus punished the Surfer and expelled him from his service.

With the arrival of the “All-New, All-Different Marvel,” Silver Surfer gets a new comic book series.  Silver Surfer 2016 is really just a continuation of the Silver Surfer title that debuted in 2014, as both have the same creative driving force.  That is writer Dan Slott and artist Michael Allred.  This creative team is assisted by Laura Allred on colors and Joe Sabino on letters.

Silver Surfer #1 (“Homecoming”) opens with an alien menace, The Hordax, transmitting a threat to the entire Earth.  They are coming to plunder our planet of its “greatest resource.”  Even President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are witness to this ominous declaration.

Meanwhile, Dawn Greenwood, who travels the space-ways with the Silver Surfer, is returning to Earth to visit her father and identical twin sister, Eve.  Silver Surfer gets to experience a Greenwood family mash-up celebration that combines a belated birthday party with three holidays.  When things turn weird, however, the Surfer finds himself battling aliens he thought he had already defeated.

When the 2016 Will Eisner Awards (for excellence in comics) were announced recently, I noticed that the previous Silver Surfer series had received several nominations.  So I decided to try an issue of the new series and luckily a local comic book shop still had copies of the first issue.

A long time ago, a writer in the venerable and late magazine of comics criticism and examination, The Comics Journal, wrote that the Silver Surfer was one of the few truly original comic book superheroes.  I agree.  How the hell did that character pop into Jack Kirby's mind?  If I remember correctly, in plotting the story that would introduce Galactus, Marvel Comics' legendary editor-writer-head honcho, Stan Lee, supposedly only told Kirby that Galactus had a herald, without specifying what the character should be.  When he received Kirby's art boards for the story, Lee was allegedly shocked to discover the Silver Surfer soaring across the pages that Kirby had drawn.  Such a unique character should be featured in unique stories.

I like Dan Slott's work as the writer of The Amazing Spider-Man, which I have only been reading for the last three years or so.  My admiration of Mike Allred is mixed.  I have liked some of his comics, especially X-Statix, but I have been ambivalent about the rest.  I like the off-beat vibe Slott and Allred give Silver Surfer.  That vibe is best exemplified by this duo's notion of what Earth's “greatest resource” is.

I am not sure that I would read Silver Surfer on a regular basis.  I need to read more to decide what I truly think of the series, and I plan to try a few more issues.  I like the pop comics and pop art comics sensibilities of the Slott-Allred Silver Surfer.  It may not be an original vision, but it certainly stands out in the current roster of Marvel titles.

Review: THE ALMIGHTIES #0 (R Rated Variant Edition)

THE ALMIGHTIES No. 0 (R Rated Variant Edition)
ACTUALITY PRESS

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

WRITERS: Sam Johnson and Mike Gagnon
ART: Pablo Zambrano; Eleonora Kortsarz; Ron Gravelle and Fran Jung; Graham Pearce
COLORS: Jennifer Scott; Lisa Lamb; Giuseppe Pica; Miguel Marques, Nimesh Morarji
LETTERS: Kris Johnson and Jacob Bascle
COVER: Eleonora Kortsarz with Miguel Marques
24pp, Color, $2.99 U.S.

The Almighties is a superhero comic book series published by Actuality Press.  The book features characters mostly created by two individuals, Sam Johnson (who is also series editor) and Mike Gagnon.  The Almighties is a superhero comedy, but is not a parody, although it takes plenty of digs at Marvel's Avengers film series.

The Almighties #0 is written by Johnson and Gagnon with a group of pencillers, inkers, and colorists providing the art for various chapters.  The story focuses on the machinations of Joe Cyborg, who has an office in what seems to be the White House.  He wants to take the superhero team, The Almighties, and turn them into his own personal “strike force.”

To that end, Joe interviews Stefanos, a member of The Almighties, about his teammates.  So, are the werewolf, Night Fang; the Supergirl-like Mrs. F; the super-tech armored Maxi-Tron, the psychotic mercenary, Mason, and few others ready for prime time Joe Cyborg-style?

Upon first glance, The Almighties #0 does not look impressive.  The art is hit-or-miss; after all, the artist here are not masters of composition, at least not yet.  These artists' graphical storytelling, however, is quite clear, which is surprisingly not the case with quite a few books published by Diamond Distributors' “premiere” publishers.  The coloring is nice and makes the art seem to pop off the page.  Of all the artists here, Eleonora Kortsarz is the standout.  If a veteran comic book artist were to mentor her, she would be ready to draw for a major publisher in less than two years, easily.

The Almighties is surprisingly funny.  I say “surprisingly” because, at first glance, it does not look like a superhero comedy.  For the most part, Johnson and Gagnon play the superheroes straight.  The humor works because The Almighties works as a superhero comic, and at times, this story is even droll and witty – another surprise.

I guess that I'm trying to say that The Almighties #0 is more than it appears.  Don't judge a comic book by its cover because this cover captures neither the story nor the spirit of this comic book.  If the creators have the resources to keep this going, they might actually be onto something that could capture a steadily growing audience.

The Almighties #0 is Out Now and available at www.almightiesamass.com and www.comixology.com
