Review: MOSAIC #1
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
WRITER: Geoffrey Thorne
ARTIST: Khary Randolph
COLORS: Emilio Lopez
LETTERS: VC's Joe Sabino
COVER: Stuart Immonen
VARIANT COVERS: John Tyler Christopher; Marco D'Alfonso; Mike Deodato with Frank Martin; Khary Randolph; Pasqual Ferry with Frank D'Armata
36pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (December 2016)
Rated T+
Episode One: “Mood Indigo”
Out of Civil War II. Part of Marvel Comics' initiative “NOW!” Here, comes Marvel's newest Black superhero, Mosaic, and he is the star of his own comic book, entitled Mosaic, of course. It is written by Geoffrey Thorne; drawn by Khary Randolph; colored by Emilio Lopez; and lettered by Joe Sabino.
Mosaic #1 (“Mood Indigo”) introduces Morris Sackett, maybe the best professional basketball player in the world. He has led the New York Stride to five championships in five seasons. As far as Morris is concerned, he is the sole reason that the Stride has won five titles. However, exposure to Terrigen mists changes Morris in ways that are shocking. One of the newest Inhumans is about to lose his physical form while inheriting many more.
According to what I have read, writer Geoffrey Thorne and artist Khary Randolph want to explode stereotypes for Black superheroes when it comes to Morris Sackett a.k.a. Mosaic. I don't know what those stereotypes are. Even with the relatively small number of Black superheroes in both the Marvel and DC Comics universes, characters are unique and mostly fully formed. Black Panther is not like Storm is not like Luke Cage/Power Man, and I never thought that Cyborg was like Black Lightning.
The stereotype of Black superheroes is that they are stereotypical. They are not all noble Negroes in the tradition of Civil Rights activists, nor are they sullen anti-heroes out to get the system. Under the guiding hand of comics most skilled writers, there have been some really good Black Panther and Blade comic books – to name a few of a few. The reality (not stereotype) is that many Black superheroes have been featured in comic books in which the writers have those assignments because they are someone's friend more so than because they are good storytellers. Black superheroes have not been stereotypes; they simply have been in badly written (and sometimes poorly drawn) comic books.
Mosaic #1 suggests that Thorne is a good writer, although his “street lingo” leaves something to be desired. I give most of the credit for the success of Mosaic #1 to artist Khary Randolph. This first issue has a lively visual and graphical style that mimics the energy and movement of animated films. Randolph's art is both stylish and earthy, giving Mosaic a vibe that is different from just about everything else Marvel is publishing.
I'm ready for more and recommend this title.

Review: SUICIDE SQUAD #1
DC COMICS – @DCComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
STORY: Rob Williams
PENCILS: Jim Lee
INKS: Scott Williams
COLORS: Alex Sinclair
LETTERS: Nate Piekos of Blambot
COVER: Jim Lee and Scott Williams with Alex Sinclair
VARIANT COVER: Lee Bermejo
32pp, Color, $2.99 U.S. (October 2016)
Rated “T+” for “Teen Plus”
“The Black Vault” Part One: “I Wanna Be Sedated”
Suicide Squad by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru
Suicide Squad is a DC Comics team. It first debuted in The Brave and the Bold #25 (cover dated: August/September 1959) and was created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Ross Andru.
The second Suicide Squad appeared in Legends #3 (cover dated: January 1987), the 1986 DC Comics event miniseries. Created by John Ostrander, this Suicide Squad was “Task Force X,” an anti-hero team of incarcerated super-villains that undertook high-risk, black ops missions in exchange for commuted prison sentences.
With the re-launch of DC Comics’ superhero line, “The New 52,” there was a new Suicide Squad comic book series. The Suicide Squad was a team of super-villains, in which the members took on risky missions in exchange for time served. The team’s base of operations was Belle Reve Penitentiary, a special prison for meta-humans and super-villains located in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.
With the “Rebirth” event, there is a new Suicide Squad comic book. It is written by Rob Williams; drawn by Jim Lee (pencils) and Scott Williams (inks); colored by Alex Sinclair; and lettered by Nate Piekos.
Suicide Squad #1 (“I Wanna Be Sedated”) finds Amanda Waller, the head of Task Force X, making a trip to Belle Reve Penitentiary where she meets with Colonel Rick Flag, Suicide Squad Field Commander, and his second-in-command, Katana. Together, they will select a squad of super-villain scum for a mission to retrieve or destroy an alien item that a rogue Russian state is studying. However, this Suicide Squad: Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang; The Enchantress, and Killer Croc may not be badass enough to compete this mission.
The main story is 13 pages long and is not long enough for me to get much of a feel for the quality of the beginning of the story arc. I can say two things. First, I don't feel I need to read more. Second, Jim Lee is on the down side of his career. Compared to even his average work, this is poor.
“Never Miss”
STORY: Rob Williams
ARTIST: Jason Fabok
COLORS: Brad Anderson
LETTERS: Nate Piekos
“Never Miss” is kind of an origin story slash biography slash early tale of the career of Deadshot. I liked it. It's dark and depicts Floyd Lawton a.k.a. Deadshot as a man who is much more complicated and conflicted than his costumed self suggests. Writer Rob Williams smartly depicts the high costs of being Deadshot, and Jason Fabok's dark compositions makes this tale's tragic angle feel genuine.

Review: CHILDREN OF THE WHALES Volume 1
VIZ MEDIA – @VIZMedia
MANGAKA: Abi Umeda
TRANSLATION: JN Productions
LETTERS: Annaliese Christman
EDITOR: Pancha Diaz
ISBN: 978-1-4215-9721-8; paperback (November 2017); Rated “T+” for “Older Teen”
200pp, B&W, $12.99 U.S., $17.99 CAN, £8.99 UK
Children of the Whales is a new fantasy adventure manga series from creator Abi Umeda. The series is set on a island floating atop an endless sea of sand, and the narrative focuses on the isolated community that clings to life on that island.
Children of the Whales, Vol. 1 (Chapters 1 to 4) introduces a boy named Chakuro. He is the archivist for the “Mud Whale,” a floating island city of clay and magic. Chakuro diligently chronicles the lives and deaths of his people, who cling to survival, but are cut off from its own history.
As the story begins, the community holds a funeral for Benihi, one of “the marked.” Chakuro is also one of the marked; they are short-lived, but they wield “Thymia,” a magical power fueled by emotions. Knowing that his time is short, Chakuro tries to chronicle everything he can about his isolated community. That isolation, however, is about to be shattered by the discovery of a mysterious girl on another mysterious floating island.
[This volume includes an afterword, “How I Discovered Children of the Whales.” This is also “From the Archivist's Diary: An Illustration of the Mud Whale,” and “A Note on Names.”]
I can honestly say that Children of the Whales is one of the best new manga and graphic novel debuts of 2017. It reminds me of Daisuke Igarashi's imaginative environmental manga, Children of the Sea, which VIZ Media published earlier this decade.
Children of the Whales Volume 1 reads like an eco-fantasy and thriller because so much of the narrative is not only about the characters, but also about the world around them. Creator Abi Umeda offers graphical striking compositions and inventive page design and layout that drive the narrative to balance character drama with a sense of suspense and mystery. The four chapters contained in this first graphic novel are obviously connected, but each one presents something new, and sometimes even a fresh perspective. From the exotic beginning to the shocking ending, Children of the Whales, Vol. 1 is a magical and gripping narrative.
Readers looking for unique graphic novels for young readers and teens will want the VIZ Signature title, Children of the Whales.
