Review: THE SPIRIT: The New Adventures #1
THE SPIRIT: THE NEW ADVENTURES No. 1
KITCHEN SINK PRESS
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
WRITER: Alan Moore
ART/LETTERS: Dave Gibbons
COLOR: Angus McKie
COVER: Dave Gibbons
MISC. ART: Will Eisner with Charles Shadoian
32pp, Color, $3.50 U.S., $4.90 CAN (March 1998)
The Spirit is a comic book character created by cartoonist Will Eisner (who died in January 2005). The Spirit first appeared on June 2, 1940 in what readers called “The Spirit Section.” This was a 16-page, Sunday newspaper supplement or insert that was carried in various newspapers from the 1940s and into the early 1950s. Once known as Detective Denny Colt (believed by some to be dead), The Spirit is a masked vigilante who fights crime in Central City.
Beginning in the early 1980s, Kitchen Sink Press did a complete reprinting of the post-World War II Spirit, which many readers and fans consider to be Will Eisner’s best and most influential work. After the end of The Spirit’s newspaper run, there was very little new Spirit material…
That was until Kitchen Sink Press started publishing The Spirit: New Adventures in 1998. This was an anthology title wherein a number of noted comic book creators and cartoonists chronicled new, post-Eisner Spirit adventures. Over the course of the series run of eight issues, readers got new Spirit tales from Alan Moore, Eddie Campbell, Neil Gaiman, Dave Gibbons, Paul Pope, and James Vance & Dan Burr, to name a few.
The Spirit: New Adventures #1 features three interconnected tales written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons. In “The Most Important Meal,” Doctor Cobra has his last meal, a solid breakfast, before his execution for double-murder. Cobra shares his breakfast with a young cellmate, whom he regales with a tale of how Denny Colt, a promising young criminologist became The Spirit.
In “Force of Arms,” Homer Creap has complaints about The Spirit and shares them with a young lad. Homer knows the truth about Doctor Cobra, and that tale returns to a time when Homer was the fiancé of one Ellen Dollan, daughter of Police Commissioner Dolan. That was before The Spirit interfered. The final story, “Gossip and Gertrude Granch,” finds widow, Gertrude Granch, entertaining a series of young men who seem to get younger with each new date… or so it seems to her gossipy neighbors.
Among the back matter in The Spirit: New Adventures #1 is a short feature article, “The Many Origins of the Spirit,” written by Catherine Garnier. Until I read it, I did not know that Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ trio of tales were a retelling of The Spirit’s origin. In fact, it turns out that The Spirit’s creator, Will Eisner, told his character’s origin in his very first Spirit section (June 2, 1940) and then, retold it twice more. With the debut of The Spirit: New Adventures, Moore and Gibbons were merely telling the origin story again, retelling, re-imagining, and adding to the canon.
Moore and Gibbons, using just a few of the elements they employed so fantastically in Watchmen, offer a few nods to the graphic and stylistic hallmarks that were Will Eisner’s Spirit. As usual, Moore is clever and imaginative, here, more of the former than the latter. Gibbons’ stoic and mercurial surrealism manages to capture the spirit of… The Spirit. This issue’s closing tale, “Gossip and Gertrude Granch,” is pure Eisner and typical Moore. In fact, the story reveals how much Eisner obviously influenced Moore.
I read The Spirit: New Adventures when the series was originally published. Something made me think of it again, so I’m going to go back and re-read it. I strongly recommend to you, dear reader, that you discover this comic book.

Review: NARUTO: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring
NARUTO: THE SEVENTH HOKAGE AND THE SCARLET SPRING
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
CARTOONIST: Masashi Kishimoto
TRANSLATION: Mari Morimoto
LETTERS: John Hunt
ISBN: 978-1-4215-8493-5; paperback (January 2016); Rated “T” for “Teen”
216pp, B&W, $9.99 U.S., $12.99 CAN, £6.99 U.K.
A young shinobi (ninja), Uzumaki Naruto had an incorrigible knack for mischief, and he was the biggest troublemaker at the Ninja Academy in the shinobi Village of Konohagakure. Naruto was an outcast. There was, however, something special about Naruto. When he was a baby, Naruto's parents (father Minato and mother Kushina) imprisoned a nine-tailed fox spirit (Kurama) inside his infant body. In time, he became a ninja with his classmates Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke.
Then, the story of young Naruto ended...
Naruto, the long-running ninja manga from creator, Masashi Kishimoto, ended with Chapter 700, published in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump on November 10, 2014. However, a few months later came a miniseries that focused on the children of the main characters in Naruto. It was published in Weekly Shonen Jump from April 2015 to July 2015, and it was entitled Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring.
The setup is basically this: Naruto the teen learned special ninja techniques, and he helped save the world. He achieved his dream of becoming the greatest ninja in his village, and now, he is the Seventh Hokage. Time has passed, and Naruto is a father, but he also faces new troubles bubbling up in the shinobi world.
As Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring (Chapters 700+1 to 700+10) opens, some time has passed since the Fourth Great Ninja War. Naruto does the mundane work of leading Konohagakure, but his son, Boruto, and his pranks demand attention – like father, like son.
Meanwhile, Sarada, the daughter of Sasuke and Sakura, is troubled by her parents' relationship. Sasuke is always away on missions, so she wonders if he really cares about his wife and daughter. When new trouble arises, Naruto leaves the village to find Sasuke, so Sarada and her friend, Akimichi Cho-Cho, follow the Seventh Hokage. What Sarada discovers will fill her with doubt.
The last volume of the Naruto graphic novel series, Vol. 72., was published in North America this past October. That was a little less than a year after the final chapter of the Naruto manga (Chapter 700) was published in Japan (November 2014).
Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring is a stand-alone volume that finds our favorite ninja teenagers now adults and parents. In this 10-chapter tale, Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto focuses not on Naruto or his son, Boruto, but on Sarada. Sure, this would not be a Naruto manga without Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura battling some ninja enemy.
Instead, Kishimoto shows off his skill at creating engaging characters. Sarada is a wonderful and complex and wonderfully complex character with her own desires and questions and with the magical inscrutable teenage nature that makes for attractive teen characters. I had a blast reading this. It gives me hope that when Kishimoto revisits Naruto, he will be able to make it worth the wait for his readers. And he'll have a superb character in Sarada if he chooses to use her again.

Review: JON SABLE, FREELANCE #1
JON SABLE, FREELANCE No. 1
FIRST COMICS
[This review originally appeared on Patreon.]
STORY/ART: Mike Grell
LETTERS: Peter Iro
COLORS: Janice Cohen
EDITOR: Mike Gold
32pp, Color, $1.00 U.S., $1.25 CAN (June 1983)
“The Iron Monster!”
Jon Sable, Freelance was a comic book series created, written, and drawn by Mike Grell. In 1983, it was one of the first comic book series released by the then fledgling publisher, First Comics. The series lasted 56 issues from 1983 to 1988. There was a follow-up series (Sable) and a reprint series (Mike Grell's Sable). After the demise of First Comics, Grell produced new comics either featuring or starring Jon Sable, including two miniseries over the last decade.
Jon Sable, Freelance focused on Jonathan Sable, a bounty hunter and mercenary who previously had been an athlete in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. After living, working, and experiencing tragedy in Africa, Sable returned to the United States. He became a freelance mercenary, but led a secret, double life as “B.B. Flemm,” children's book author.
Jon Sable, Freelance #1 (“The Iron Monster!”) opens with Sable as “B.B. Flemm” being interviewed by a New York City television station. Returning home that night, he finds three intruders whom he quickly dispatches. However, the men were a test from someone who wants to be Sable's latest client.
Although he is not addressed directly by name, President Ronald Reagan is that client. The President is scheduled to speak before the United Nations the following evening, but he has information that there will be an assassination attempt on him. Sable accepts the assignment to stop the assassin, who turns out to be someone with whom Sable once worked.
Jon Sable, Freelance, as I remember it, had some similarities to a television crime drama. It was like a combination of CBS' “The Equalizer,” NBC's “Banacek,” and a little of ABC's “Hart to Hart.” The series read like a weekly drama, even when the story ran over more than one issue. There was a soap opera quality to Jon Sable, Freelance, but instead of melodrama, there is a sense of mystery.
I think what made the series such an attractive read was Mike Grell's lush artwork. His solid draftsmanship was defined by tight compositions, smooth brushwork, and delicate feathering. The art often had a painterly quality, so the graphical storytelling sometimes seemed like narrative painting. Every panel informed the reader than Jon Sable, Freelance was a labor of love by Grell.
I found Jon Sable, Freelance #1 at the Louisiana Comic Con in Lafayette, LA (October 17th and 18th, 2015), and it only cost me one dollar. I hope I encounter the retailer, Big M Comics (?), at another convention. He had lots of issues of Jon Sable, Freelance.

“The Iron Monster!”
Jon Sable, Freelance was a comic book series created, written, and drawn by Mike Grell. In 1983, it was one of the first comic book series released by the then fledgling publisher, First Comics. The series lasted 56 issues from 1983 to 1988. There was a follow-up series (Sable) and a reprint series (Mike Grell's Sable). After the demise of First Comics, Grell produced new comics either featuring or starring Jon Sable, including two miniseries over the last decade.
Jon Sable, Freelance focused on Jonathan Sable, a bounty hunter and mercenary who previously had been an athlete in the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. After living, working, and experiencing tragedy in Africa, Sable returned to the United States. He became a freelance mercenary, but led a secret, double life as “B.B. Flemm,” children's book author.
Jon Sable, Freelance #1 (“The Iron Monster!”) opens with Sable as “B.B. Flemm” being interviewed by a New York City television station. Returning home that night, he finds three intruders whom he quickly dispatches. However, the men were a test from someone who wants to be Sable's latest client.
Although he is not addressed directly by name, President Ronald Reagan is that client. The President is scheduled to speak before the United Nations the following evening, but he has information that there will be an assassination attempt on him. Sable accepts the assignment to stop the assassin, who turns out to be someone with whom Sable once worked.

Review: HONEY SO SWEET Volume 1
HONEY SO SWEET, VOL. 1
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
MANGAKA: Amu Meguro
TRANSLATION: Katherine Schilling
LETTERS: Inori Fukuda Trant
EDITOR: Nancy Thislethwaite
ISBN: 978-1-4215-8325-9; paperback (January 2016); Rated “T” for “Teen”
200pp, B&W, $9.99 U.S., $12.99 CAN, £6.99 U.K.
Amu Meguro is a newcomer as a mangaka. She debuted with a one-shot manga, Makka na Ringo ni Kuchizuke O (A Kiss for a Bright Red Apple). Her current long-form manga series is Honey So Sweet, published in the Japanese shojo manga magazine, Bessatsu Margaret.
Honey So Sweet focuses on Nao Kogure. One day in middle school, Nao left her umbrella and a box of bandages in the rain for a fellow student who was injured. Little did she know that she would meet that student again in high school. His name is Taiga Onise, a delinquent, and Nao wants nothing to do with the gruff and frightening teen boy. However, Taiga suddenly presents her with a huge bouquet of flowers and asks her to date him – with marriage in mind! Is Taiga really so scary, or is he a sweetheart in disguise?
Early in Honey So Sweet, Vol. 1 (Chapters 1 to 5), Nao discovers that Taiga actually smiles, is kind to animals, and is a good cook. Is he really the same Taiga who is a notorious delinquent? Before long, Nao discovers that everyone in school thinks that she and Taiga are a couple – a couple of outcasts.
I don't quite understand why the Honey So Sweet manga is entitled Honey So Sweet. It is indeed a sweet romance, but it also has a decidedly tart side.
Honey So Sweet Volume 1 introduces three other characters besides Nao and Taiga. All five of these characters seem to speak their minds, for the most part. They are tart rather than sweet. I think that is what I like about Honey So Sweet. It is a typical high school shojo romance, but creator Amu Meguro is always adding that something extra, whether that is dialogue or action, that makes the narrative skip a beat.
There are just enough minor twists to the shojo status quo to make this series an intriguing read. I recommend that fans of high school shojo try the first volume at least.

Review: THE DRACONIS PROJECT #1
THE DRACONIS PROJECT No. 1
MIDCITY COMICS
[This review was originally published on Patreon.]
WRITER/CREATOR: Michael Phillips
PENCILS: Verlei Batista
INKS: Somjade Chuntbavorn
LETTERS: Michael Phillips
EDITOR: Ryan Carter
COVER: Fred Benes with Dijjo and Teo
Book 1: “Abducted”
The Draconis Project is a comic book series created and written by New Orleans native, Michael Phillips. A black and white comic book, The Draconis Project is published through MidCity Comics LLC. The series is set in a near-future scenario of environmental degradation. It focuses on a retired anti-terrorism agent searching for a missing scientist who may have discovered the means to save mankind from a solar catastrophe.
The Draconis Project #1 opens in the year 2044. Earth suffers from global warming caused by the deterioration of the outer layers of the atmosphere due to four decades of powerful solar flares and outbursts. Mankind is endangered from an upcoming catastrophic solar event called the “Solaris Effect,” but the scientists of an organization known as N.A.S.R. are working to protect humanity.
Dr. Johann Svensen is one scientist who has created an important serum to protect mankind from the Solaris Effect. After he is kidnapped, the G.T.U. (Global Antiterrorism Unit) tasks one of its retired agents, Aiden McCoy, to find Svensen. McCoy's first stop in his search is his the city where he lives, New Orleans, Louisiana.
At the recent Louisiana Comic Con (October 17-18, 2015), I came upon Michael Phillips at his vendor's table, where I bought a copy of The Draconis Project #1. I think my friend and fellow comic book reviewer, Albert Avilla, may have bought all the issues of the series published to date. I wish I had bought more than the first issue, as I found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable read.
Yeah, I think the adversaries and villians' dialogue to be a bit stiff and on the cliched side, but I like the bad guys because they are so thoroughly ruthless, vicious, and self-interested. The hero, Aiden McCoy, seems like a guy who takes his mission seriously, but will make it fun when he can. During the 1990s, Bruce Willis would have played McCoy in a movie based on The Draconis Project.
The art: well, it looks like a combination of Jim Lee and the early art of Jim Lee/Art Adams clones such as Joe Madureira and J. Scott Campbell, with a dash of Michael Turner. The pencil art by Verlei Batista (of the Ed Benes Studios) features crowded compositions and awkward technique, but has a strangely attractive quality. The inking by Somjade Chuntbavorn makes the pencils look heavily crowded, which results in storytelling filled with static.
That said, The Draconis Project #1 shows that this series has potential. I am certainly recommending it to comic book readers that support micro-press and self-published comic books. I plan to be on the lookout for Michael Phillips at future local comic book conventions.

Book Review: A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS
A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS
HARPCOLLINS/William Morrow – @HarperCollins; @WmMorrowBks
AUTHOR: Paul Tremblay
ISBN: 978-0-06-236323-7; hardcover (June 2, 2015)
304pp, B&W, $25.99 U.S., $31.99 CAN
A Head Full of Ghosts is a 2015 psychological thriller and horror novel from author Paul Tremblay. The novel focuses on a family that must face the possible demonic possession of one of the children.
The Barretts live in the typical New England suburb of Beverly, Massachusetts. However, they are not the normal suburban New England family. This family is slowly being torn apart because 14-year-old Marjorie Barrett is showing signs of acute schizophrenia. The mother, Sarah Barrett, believes in psychiatry, but that seems to have little affect on Marjorie, whose bizarre behavior is only getting worse and even dangerous.
The father, John Barrett, unemployed for a year, has come to believe that Marjorie is possessed, and a local Catholic priest suggests that Marjorie may be in need of an exorcism. Watching it all is eight-year-old Meredith “Merry” Barrett. Fifteen years later, 23-year-old Meredith is collaborating with best-selling author, Rachel Neville, on a non-fiction book about that time. Now, this recollection of that time will pit the the fog of memory against the horror of reality.
An easy way to judge if I not only really like a book, but also if I have warmed to it is if I am jealous that I did not write that book. I am not jealous of Paul Tremblay for writing A Head Full of Ghosts. I love that title, and the book is imaginative in its conception. Ultimately, it is too clever and too cool in its storytelling.
I think eight-year-old Meredith “Merry” Barrett is an excellent narrator. Her voice captures the inventiveness of the stories the two sisters tell each other, but that voice is drowned out by the cacophony and “shocking reveals” of the last six chapters. That is the point in which A Head Full of Ghosts transforms from a scary story into an overwrought domestic drama where true crime meets family soap opera. It is not a pretty union.
For most of A Head Full of Ghosts, the narrative balances the mystery of Marjorie’s condition – demonic possession or mental illness. Merry's tale paints a picture of a haunted house and of a haunted family, and this tale is both imaginative and chilling. That does not last to the last page. The final section of this book is like taking a Guillermo del Toro film and tacking on an ending from an episode of “Criminal Minds” or “Law & Order.”
But this is what I'd expect from a novel that is described as being about “the very nature of evil.” A Head Full of Ghosts is skillfully written and, at times, it is an engrossing read. It is not at all a bad piece writing; it simply betrays its wonderful ghost story. In the end, the ghosts are not supernatural, they're just dreary dregs of reality.

Review: FLESH OF WHITE #1
FLESH OF WHITE No. 1
INVERSE PRESS
[This review originally appeared on Patreon.]
WRITER: Erica J. Heflin
ARTIST: Amanda Rachels
24pp, Color, $3.99 (February 2013)
Flesh of White is a comic book series created by writer Erica J. Heflin (Zenescope Entertainment's Wonderland and Grayhaven Comics’ The Gathering) and drawn by artist Amanda Rachels (Arcana Studios’ The Book). The series is set in the the African nation of Tanzania.
Flesh of White #1 introduces a young Tanzanian couple who lives in the village of Wasando. Idi is a conscientious father and farmer, and Rehema is a wife and doting mother. They recently celebrated the birth of a son, Kwasi, but his birth has brought unanticipated fears. Kwasi was born with albinism, which is problematic, as he and his parents live in a part of Tanzania where fear guides the actions of men and superstition directs their lives. A scheming Witch Doctor desires little Kwasi's flesh, and he has sent The Harvester to obtain it.
Writer Erica J. Heflin offers a most intriguing concept in Flesh of White, and the setting, rural Tanzania, is filled with a sense of mystery and wonder. Artist Amanda Rachels has a drawing style that seems more appropriate for children's comics instead of a comic book that features graphic depictions of brutal violence. Yet Rachels' compositions strengthen the depictions of emotion, whether these emotions are happy and sad or are peaceful and violent, making the storytelling seem immediate and urgent.
Heflin and Rachels make a good team. They come together and fashion Flesh of White into something that is intriguing and magical. If DC Comics published comic books featuring genuine African characters, then, Flesh of White would be a Vertigo book. Left to their own devices, however, Heflin and Rachels are free to create a comic book of magic, real and simulated, that is truly unique.

Review: DUSK Chapter 1
DUSK CHAPTER 1
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
CREATORS: Brandon Gary and Jason Bienvenu
STORY: Brandon Gary
LAYOUTS: Brandon Gary
ART: Jason Bienvenu
COLORS: Jason Bienvenu
LETTERS: Brandon Gary
LOGO: Jason Bienvenu
32pp, Color, $5.00 U.S. (June 2015)
Dusk is a comic book series created by writer Brandon Gary and artist Jason Bienvenu. A science fiction series, Dusk is set in the distant future and finds humanity engaged in interstellar space travel and colonization. The narrative takes place on the newly colonized world of Lunaris Seven, an unusual planet that does not rotate or orbit the sun, thus having one side that is permanently dark and the other permanently light.
Dusk Chapter 1 opens as a teenage girl, Kaitlyn, arrives in Dusk, a city that is built on the edge of Lunaris Seven's light and dark. She has arrived to live with her older sister, Christina, and the reunion goes well in light of a recent family tragedy.
Meanwhile, Detective Eddie Hizaki and Detective Neil Weathers of the Lunaris Seven Police Department (L7PD) are investigating a series of a child disappearances. Hizaki and Weathers' partnership is an uneasy one, as each detective disagrees with the other about the fate of the children. Circumstances bring these four people together, as they discover the reach of the criminal element living in the shadows of Dusk.
I am a little familiar with the work of Jason Bienvenu, who wrote and drew the six-issue comic book miniseries, The Kingdom, which was published by Comix Tribe. [I reviewed the first issue for the website @ComicBookBin.] During the recent Louisiana Comic Con in Lafayette, Louisiana (October 17-18, 2015), I discovered that Bienvenu and writer Brandon Gray had a table in the vendor's gallery, where they were promoting their comic book projects. Wanting to support local comics creators, I decided to sample Dusk because it was a collaborative project by the two. Plus, I was attracted to striking image and vivid coloring on the cover of Dusk Chapter 1.
First, I want to say that Bienvenu has improved as an artist since The Kingdom. His compositions are stronger, and his figure drawing expresses emotion and mood, which is good for the story. Working from Gray's layouts, Bienvenu uses graphic design and color to create an eye-catching storytelling package that makes me want to read this comic book.
I like the manner in which Gray uses science fiction as a basic template by which he plays out the dramas of characters seemingly from different genres: Kaitlyn and Christina (family melodrama) and Hizaki and Weathers (cop drama). This keeps the story from being trapped in the tropes of one particular genre or sub-genre, but that method especially emphasizes the sense of the unknown in this narrative. Discovering and unraveling secrets is what makes the reader at least consider coming back for the second chapter or next installment. And I am quite interested returning to the intriguing Dusk.

Review: CHEWBACCA #1
CHEWBACCA No. 1
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
[This review was originally posted on Patreon. And visit the "Star Wars Central" review page here.]
WRITER: Gerry Duggan
ART: Phil Noto
LETTERS: VC's Joe Caramagna
COVER: Phil Noto
VARIANT COVERS: Ariel Olivetti; Gabriele Dell'Otto; Alex Ross; Skottie Young
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (December 2015)
Rated T
“Part I”
Since Marvel Comics starting publishing Star Wars comic books again, they have already produced two character miniseries that each focus on a classic character from the original Star Wars movie trilogy. The two series, Princess Leia and Lando, were both five-issue miniseries.
The latest one miniseries focuses on Han Solo's longtime friend and co-pilot, the Wookie, Chewbacca, aka “Chewie.” Entitled Chewbacca (of course), the five-issue miniseries is written by Gerry Duggan (Deadpool) and drawn and colored by Phil Noto (Black Widow), with letters by Joe Caramagna.
Chewbacca #1 (“Part 1”) is set directly after the events depicted in the original film, Star Wars (1977). Chewie is on an important and personal secret mission when his spacecraft malfunctions, stranding him on the planet, Andelm-4. He is trying to procure the “flight stabilizer” he needs for his ship, when he becomes ensnared in a young native girl's problem. Her name is Zarro, and her father, Arrax, is in trouble with a powerful crime boss-type. As Chewie and the Zarro come to an understanding, their problems are actually getting bigger.
A Chewbacca comic book can only work when a comic book writer understands how to take advantage of Chewie's expressive nature and also understand how to play a character that is like a force of nature. The comic book artist will have to be able to depict Chewbacca's physicality in a way that expresses both the extremes and the ranges of his emotions.
After one issue, Gerry Duggan seems to be that writer, and Phil Noto seems to be that artist. Noto's distinctive style correctly sets Chewbacca as distinct from the rest of Marvel's Star Wars titles without making it estranged from them. Duggan offers up a playful and sly Chewie to balance the dangerous Wookie whose “heavy” and destructive side will be needed for him to be the hero.
I am as yet unsure about Zarro. She could be an attractive heroine or an annoying spunky type or she could be the victim slash damsel. I hope Duggan gives her fight. It looks like Chewbacca will be another Star Wars character miniseries hit.
