#IReadsYou Review: GEEK-GIRL, VOL. 2 #8

GEEK-GIRL, VOL. 2 #8
MARKOSIA ENTERPRISES, LTD.

STORY: Sam Johnson
ART: Carlos Granda
COLORS: Chunlin Zhao
LETTERS: Paul McLaren
COVER ARTISTS: Carlos Granda with Chunlin Zhao; Pablo Martinena with Chunlin Zhao
28pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (December 2021)

Rated T+ / 12+ only

Geek-Girl created by Sam Johnson

“Guests”

Created by Sam Johnson, Geek-Girl is a comic book character that debuted in the 2016 Geek-Girl miniseries,  She returned in a second miniseries, 2018's Geek-Girl Vol. 2, which became an ongoing series.  Geek-Girl Vol. 2 is written by Sam Johnson; drawn by Carlos Granda; colored by Chunlin Zhao; and lettered by Paul McLaren.

Geek-Girl focuses on Ruby Kaye of Acorn Ridge, Maine, a sexy and popular college coed who inadvertently becomes a superhero.  Ruby dons a pair of super-tech pair of eye glasses that gives her super-powers.  Ruby's BFF, Summer James, then talks her into trying to be a superhero, even providing her with a moniker.  Now, Ruby is Maine's newest superhero, “Geek-Girl.”

As Geek-Girl Vol. 2 #8 (“Guests”) opens, Tyler, one of the members of Geek-Girl's new super-team, is exploring their headquarters.  He discovers that the supposed-to-be previous residents are still living in the headquarters, and they can't really leave!  But Digger Mensch wants them gone, so what can Geek-Girl do?

Meanwhile, in Detroit, Cabra Cini: Voodoo Junkie Hitwoman has taken an assignment from Paul Trencher to find his former partner, Ethan Drew.  But we know Ethan by a different name.

THE LOWDOWN:  Geek-Girl creator-writer Sam Johnson sends me PDF review copies of the latest issues of Geek-Girl for several years now.  I enjoy reading about Geek-Girl and also encouraging you to give this series a try, dear readers.

As I said in my review of the prior issues (Vol. 2 #5-7), just about any issue of Geek-Girl is a good jumping-on point because Johnson's story and script are simply quite inviting to new readers.  Plus, Johnson has the good sense to include a recap of the series on the inside of the front cover.  Also, Geek-Girl is not a mature readers title that is inappropriate for young readers, nor is it weighed down by decades of ludicrous continuity that is anything but continuous, which is a problem with some titles published by Marvel and DC Comics.

I think the thing I like most about Geek-Girl is that she is still new to the superhero game, and Johnson has kept her wide-eyed and upbeat about the the whole experience.  Of course, not all of Geek-Girl is so innocent, as seen in this issue.  Cabra Cini is an attractive character, with a dark magic side, and Digger Mensch gets more menacing and interesting with each appearance.

Artist Carlos Granda, colorist Chunlin Zhao, and letterer Paul McLaren present a graphical storytelling package that is pretty, but especially offers clear and clean storytelling, even when presenting this series weirder side.  Or to put it simpler, Geek-Girl #8 is easy on the eyes and easy to read.

One of many things that makes this eighth issue a winner is the ending.  Geek-Girl always knows how to make her readers come back for more.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of lovable superheroes will find an all-around winner in Geek-Girl.

TRAILER: Marvel Comics' "CAPTAIN CARTER" Five-Issue Miniseries

#IReadsYou Review: RADIANT BLACK #5

RADIANT BLACK #5
IMAGE COMICS

STORY: Kyle Higgins
ART: Eduardo Ferigato (pp. 1-23); Marcelo Costa (pp. 24-28)
COLORS: Natalia  Marques (1-23); Marcelo Costa (24-28)
LETTERS: Becca Carey
EDITOR/DESIGNER: Michael Busuttil

28pp, Colors, 3.99 U.S. (June 2021)

Rated “T+/Teen Plus”

“Aftermath”

Radiant Black is a superhero comic book series from writer Kyle Higgins and artist Marcelo Costa.  The series focuses on a failed writer who discovers a cosmic force that changes his life.  Letterer Becca Carey and designer Michael Busuttil complete the series' creative team.

Radiant Black introduces Nathan Burnett, who just turned thirty-years-old, and things are not going great.  A failed writer (thus far), Nathan leaves Los Angeles and returns home to Lockport, Illinois to live with his parents.  A night on the town with his old pal, Marshall, leads to Nathan unlocking an alien artifact, “Radiant Black,” that changes his life.  This new thing seems totally unique, but there is more to it than Nathan can imagine, so very much more.

As Radiant Black #5 (“Aftermath”) opens, Nathan lies near death, and Lockport is reeling.  Marshall has reluctantly assumed the mantle/suit of Radiant Black.  So now, he want revenge on Radiant Red for dropping a building on Nathan.  But Black and Red are about to discover how bigger than the both of them this all is.

THE LOWDOWN:  I was initially interested in Radiant Black because I read (on the Internet) that it might be the first entry in a new “shared universe” of superhero titles from Image Comics.  Since reading Radiant Black #1 and the subsequent issues I have come to enjoy reading it for its own sake.  And the fourth issue was such a doozy … and you, dear readers, want more Radiant Black reviews.

The guest art team of Eduardo Ferigato and colorist Natália Marques give the story a super-duper twist with their … radiant and vibrant storytelling, which is fitting.  Radiant Black #5 is the end of the first story arc, and it offers plenty of surprises – some quite explosive.  It is a blast to read.  So let's keep reading, dear readers, and reviewing.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans looking for something new with a touch of classic in a superhero comic book will want to try Radiant Black.
