Teen Titans: The Judas Contract – video (2017)
[Please visit the "Comic Book Movies Review" page.]
Running time: 84 minutes
MPAA – PG-13 for language, some violence, sensuality, thematic elements and brief drug use
DIRECTOR: Sam Liu
WRITERS: Ernie Altbacker (based on the comic book story by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and on the DC Comics characters)
EDITOR: Christopher D. Lozinsk
COMPOSER: Frederik Wiedmann
ANIMATION STUDIO: The Answerstudios
Starring: (voices) Sean Maher, Kari Wahlgren, Stuart Allan, Taissa Farmiga, Brandon Soo Hoo, Jake T. Austin, Christina Ricci, Miguel Ferrer, Gregg Henry, Meg Foster, Masasa Moyo, Jason Spisak, Crispin Freeman, and Kevin Smith
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a 2017 straight-to-video animated superhero film from Warner Bros. Animation. The films stars the DC Comics superhero team, the Teen Titans. The film's story is based on “The Judas Contract,” the 1983-84 story arc that was published in The New Teen Titans #39 to #44 and in The New Teen Titans Annual 3, which were created by the writer-artist team of Marv Wolfman and George Perez. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract the movie focuses on the Teen Titans and their battle against an insane cult leader and his conspiracy against them.
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract opens with the original Teen Titans: Robin/Dick Grayson (Sean Maher), Speedy (Crispin Freeman), Kid Flash (Jason Spisak), Beast Boy (Brandon Soo Hoo), and Bumblebee (Masasa Moyo). During a mission, the Titans rescue an alien princess, Koriand'r of Tamaran (Kari Wahlgren), also known as “Starfire,” from her captors.
Five years later, Dick Grayson, now known as “Nightwing,” rejoins the Teen Titans, who are led by Starfire. In addition to original member, Beast Boy, the team is now comprised of Raven (Taissa Farmiga), Terra (Christina Ricci), Blue Beetle (Jake T. Austin), and the current Robin, Damien Wayne (Stuart Allan). The Titans have been battling a high-tech terrorist organization called “H.I.V.E.” and are trying to find its leader, “Brother Blood” (Gregg Henry), the head of a terrorist cult.
Brother Blood has grown tired of the Titans interfering in his plans, but he desires to possess their powers. Blood hires the mercenary/assassin, Deathstroke (Miguel Ferrer), to capture the Titans, and to that end, Deathstroke has a spy inside the Titans.
For most of the 1980s, The New Teen Titans was one of DC Comics' most popular comic book titles, and for awhile, it was the publisher's most important and popular title. “The Judas Contract” was The New Teen Titans' signature story line. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract the movie is true to the spirit of the original story, both in depicting how close a team of disparate individuals can become and in depicting the sting of betrayal committed by one member against the rest of the team.
I really enjoyed this movie, and I am surprised that I liked all the characters and all the voice actors' performances. Christina Ricci does stand out and conveys the pathos and conflict within Terra Markov, while Brandon Soo Hoo gives comedic depth and dramatic weight to Beast Boy. I will note, however, that film director, Kevin Smith, appears as a cartoon version of himself, and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract could have done without him.
Fans of the direct-to-video, DC Comics animated films will find that Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a high point in this long-running series. Teen Titans fans will also find that, although the film changes the original story quite a bit, this version of The Judas Contract maintains the core of the comic book original, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract.

Book Review: WANDERING IN STRANGE LANDS
HARPERCOLLINS – @HarperCollins
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
AUTHOR: Morgan Jerkins
ISBN: 978-0-06-287304-0; hardcover (August 4, 2020)
304pp, B&W, $27.99 U.S.
Wandering in Strange Lands: A Daughter of the Great Migration Reclaims Her Roots is the new nonfiction book from Morgan Jerkins, magazine editor and writer, cultural critic, and bestselling author of the book, This Will Be My Undoing. In Wandering in Strange Lands, Jerkins journeys across the United States in order to understand her roots, the Great Migration, and the displacement of black people across America.
At the center of Wandering in Strange Lands is the fact that between 1916 and 1970, six million black Americans left their rural homes in the South for jobs in cities in the North, West, and Midwest. This movement is known as The Great Migration, and it was an event that transformed the complexion of America. The Great Migration brought black people to new economic opportunities, but Morgan Jerkins argues that this massive movement also left African-Americans disconnected from their roots, their land, and their sense of identity. Both sides of Jerkins family made the Great Migration, but to what extent? Who were the family members left behind? Who are the founders of her family lines?
Jerkins decided to fill in the gaps in her own personal story and in the gaps in the history of both her mother and her father's families. She decided to do this by recreating her ancestors’ journeys across America, following the migratory routes they took from Georgia and South Carolina to Louisiana, to Oklahoma, and to California.
Jerkins follows in her people's footsteps, backwards and forwards, as she seeks to understand not only her own past, but also the lineage of her family and of the entire group of black people who have been displaced, disenfranchised, and disrespected throughout our history as a nation. Jerkins conducts interviews with family, with friends, and with new friends who might be family. She takes photos and collects hundreds of pages of transcription – all of this to gather those loose threads of her family’s oral histories that she might make something whole and hopefully complete. Along the way, she is disabused of some of her notions, and she starts to wonder – who controls our stories?
THE LOWDOWN: My paternal grandmother supposedly had American Indian heritage. Her and her siblings were of so many different skin tones that when I met some of them, I did not realize that they were her siblings. Three of my grandmother's brothers were part of the Great Migration, heading to Detroit for jobs in the automobile industry a long, long time ago. I met them at my grandmother's funeral decades ago.
My maternal grandmother turned out to be the child of former slave, which means my mother was the grandchild of a former slave. Also “the old white man” who came to play with me whenever I visited my maternal grandmother was actually her wayward husband and my mother's father. My mother, who died a few years ago, was the keeper of detailed histories of both her and her husband's families. Mama always had a story. I never recorded them, and now, that she is passed, I feel helpless as I try to rediscover the stories from which I will regrow the family tree.
Wandering in Strange Lands is the story of someone, in this case, a young woman named Morgan Jerkins, who wants to braid the loose threads of the oral histories of both sides of her family. She backtracks across the Great Migration to learn about the Gullah Geechee. She plumbs the mystery of water, of root work, and of root doctors in the Lowcountry of Georgia and South Carolina.
Jerkins heads to Louisiana and visits Natchitoches and Cane River to meet the “Creole” people she once dismissed. She travels south to the Louisiana cities of Lafayette and St. Martinville and discovers her connections to Voodoo. Then, it's on to Oklahoma where threads of her family lead back to North Carolina and Florida and to the stories of the “Freedmen,” “by-blood Indians,” and the “Dawes Roll.” Finally, Jerkins returns to California and to Los Angeles where the Great Migration took black people to a place where things were supposed to be much better than in rest of the racist United States... or so they believed. But it wasn't.
I have been steadily writing reviews for almost twenty years, yet I don't have the words to describe the epic scope of Morgan Jerkins deeply personal story. I can't describe the power this book has; sometimes, I thought it put some hoodoo on me. Jerkins' journey to connect the disparate parts of her family history and their origins is her own story. Somehow, she connects me with and into her story, and I think that she will do that to everyone who reads her book.
Morgan Jerkins makes Wandering in Strange Lands a nonfiction work of black history and of American history. It is a book of religion and of culture, and it is an indictment of America's systemic white racism and pernicious white privilege. The lens through which Jerkins tells this story is a microscope for her family's history and a telescope gathering in the star fields of black history.
In the awful year that is 2020, Wandering in Strange Lands might seem to be the book that was meant to be here. It is not a prophetic work, but the prophets wanted it to be here now. So...yeah... I'm saying it's a must-read.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Readers interested in the stories and oral histories of African-American families will find an essential book in Wandering in Strange Lands: A Daughter of the Great Migration Reclaims Her Roots.

#IReadsYou Review: HELL'S PARADISE: Jigokuraku Volume 3
HELL'S PARADISE: JIGOKURAKU, VOL. 3
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
MANGAKA: Juji Kaku
TRANSLATION: Caleb Cook
LETTERS: Mark McMurray
EDITOR: David Brothers
ISBN: 978-1-9747-1322-6; paperback (July 2020); Rated “M” for “Mature”
216pp, B&W, $12.99 U.S., $17.99 CAN, £9.99 U.K.
Jigokuraku is a manga series written and illustrated by Yuji Kaku. It has been serialized weekly for free on the Shōnen Jump+ application (app) and website since January 22, 2018. VIZ Media is publishing an English-language edition of the manga as a paperback graphic novel series, entitled Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, under its “VIZ Signature” imprint.
Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku is set in Japan during the “Edo period” (specifically between 1773 and 1841 for this story). The ninja, “Gabimaru the Hollow,” is sentenced to death, but no method of execution can kill him due to his superhuman body. Lord Tokugawa Nariyoshi, the 11th Shogun, offers Gabimaru and other monstrous killers sentenced to death a chance at a pardon. They will travel to a strange island, known as “Shinsenkyo,” where they must find “the elixir of life,” which will make the shogun immortal. The executioner, Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, and others of her clan will accompany these criminals to an island where “Heaven” and “Hell” are said to be practically the same thing.
As Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, Vol. 3 (Chapters 17 to 26) opens, Gabimaru and Sagiri are joined by Yuzuriha of Keishu, (a “kunoichi” or female ninja), and her executioner, Yamada Asaemon Senta (a highly-learned swordsman and Sagiri's clansman). They have just encountered what looks like a small human girl, but they also meet her guardian (of sorts). He is “Hoko” the tree man, and he names the girl as “Mei.”
From him, Gabimaru and company learn that Shinsenkyo, which he calls “Kotaku,” is divided into three regions. It is the center region, known as, “Horai,” where they will find the elixir of life, which the island's denizens call “Tan.” Hoko also warns them of sinister beings roaming the island, the immortal “Lord Tenzen,” that do not allow anyone to leave the island.
However, Gabimaru believes that he does not have time to waste, and sets off on his own to the center of the island. He is unaware of the fate of the other convicts and their executioners who have already met the Lord Tenzen with disastrous results.
[This volume includes miscellaneous art, bonus comics, and “Translation Notes.”]
THE LOWDOWN: I have described the Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku manga as an Edo-period, samurai drama that is also firmly entrenched in the horror genre. I think its English title, “Hell's Paradise,” aptly fits the series' repugnant-attractive elements, a mix of beautiful and imaginative beings and creatures that are really monsters.
Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku Graphic Novel Volume 3 is the first volume in which the lead characters get answers to their questions. I thought that Vol. 2 was one best second volumes of a manga tankobon/graphic novel that I had ever read, just as Vol. 1 was one of the best first volumes. Creator Yuji Kaku does not miss a beat as he reveals more of about the island and about its mysterious inhabitants. If you have already started reading Hell's Paradise, don't stop now, dear readers. If you have not started reading, you don't have far to go back to get in on the ground floor of this utterly fantastic dark fantasy manga.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of “VIZ Signature” titles will want Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.
