Review: WONDER WOMAN/CONAN #1
DC COMICS/Dark Horse Comics – @DCComics @DarkHorseComics
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
STORY: Gail Simone
PENCILS: Aaron Lopresti
INKS: Matt Ryan
COLORS: Wendy Broome
LETTERS: Saida Temofonte
COVER: Darick Robertson with Tony Aviña
VARIANT COVERS: Liam Sharp with Laura Martin
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (November 2017)
Rated “T+” for “Teen Plus”
Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston; Conan created by Robert E. Howard
“A Crown without Mercy”
Conan the Cimmerian (also Conan the Barbarian) was born in the pulp fiction of Robert E. Howard, first appearing in magazine, Weird Tales (1932). Marvel Comics brought Conan to comic books in 1970, with the long running series, Conan the Barbarian.
Now, Conan moves into new comic book territory with the team-up book, Wonder Woman Conan. The series is written by Gail Simone; drawn by Aaron Lopresti (pencils) and Matt Ryan (inks); colored by Wendy Broome; and lettered by Saida Temofonte.
Wonder Woman Conan #1 (“A Crown without Mercy”) opens in the time when Conan was a child at the age of “eight summers.” He travels with his father, Conaldar, a blacksmith, to a conclave of clans. In this gathering of strangers, Conan sees the first truly beautiful thing in his life, a girl named “Yanna.”
Years late, the adult Conan – a thief, a reaver, and a slayer – encounters three men who are about to kill another man. He saves that man, who is named Kian, and they travel to the Aquilonian kingdom where they plan to witness a special warrior in a gladiatorial fight. She is a woman, a “Wonder Woman” from Conan's past, and their reunion may be that they are destined to die together.
I can't remember if I have ever read a Wonder Woman comic book written by Gail Simone, but I did read some of the excellent Conan Red Sonja, a four-issue miniseries she wrote that was published in late 2014 and early 2015. Simone is simply good at what she does, and that is writing riveting, engaging, clever, witty, and fun-to-read comic books. I remember that people loved her Wonder Woman, and I loved her Conan, and Wonder Woman Conan is something to love. My only complaint is that the first issue had to end.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that lovely art and strong storytelling by Aaron Lopresti. After more than two decades, Lopresti's art is highly-polished and professional, especially when it is inked by someone good, as it is here by Matt Ryan. Lopresti's art, especially his figure drawing, reminds me of such classic 1980s and 90s stalwarts as Bob McLeod, Jerry Ordway, and Dan Jurgens. Lopresti's solid compositions are the perfect graphical storytelling vehicle for a story featuring two great warriors, Wonder Woman and Conan.
Wonder Woman Conan #1 is fine start to what I believe will be an excellent crossover comic book. I think Simone and Lopresti will deliver, as usual.

Micronauts was a toy line that now-defunct toy company Mego manufactured and marketed, beginning in the mid-1970s and ending in 1980. This science fiction-themed line was based on Japanese toy company Takara's “Microman” toy line. Mego licensed Microman and other similar toys to create the Micronauts, which were both repackaged Microman toys and also modified and reconfigured versions of both Microman and other Takara toys.
In 1979, Marvel Comics began publishing The Micronauts, a comic book featuring a group of characters based on Mego's Micronauts toy line and also a few original characters Marvel created to appear in The Micronauts. Marvel ceased publishing comic books based on the Micronauts in 1986. In the 21st century, Image Comics and Devil's Due Publishing each published its own Micronauts comics for a short period of time.
Last year, IDW Publishing, which seems to specialize in publishing comic books based on licensed properties, announced that it had obtained the license to publish Micronauts comic books. IDW recently published the first issue of Micronauts. This series is written (and apparently conceptualized) by Cullen Bunn. Artist David Baldeón provides the character designs and conceptual art, and draws the breakdowns from which several illustrators provide the finished art.
Micronauts #1 opens on the planet Saqqura where five Biotrons face the wrath of the “entropy storm” that rages against the planet. Later, on Micropolis-12, Oziron “Oz” Rael and the crew of the “Heliopolis” find themselves tempted by a local crime boss. Soon, Oz is leading Phenolo-Phi (Space Glider), Acroyear, and their guest, an “orbital defender,” named Larissa into what is either a big score or a big trap.
From its snazzy J.H. Williams III cover to its colorful interiors, Micronauts #1 sure is a pretty comic book. It was hard to miss it on the shelf of a local comic book shop; to me, it stood out like a pretty candle on Bay Street. The spiffy new character designs by David Baldeón are eye-candy and are obviously influenced by animation and anime. I like them; these designs would make cool toys.
This first issue gives the reader just a taste of the opening story line, but I'm betting that the cliffhanger ending will make a large percentage of people who bought this first issue come back for more. [In fact, I have already obtained a copy of the recently released second issue.] For the time being, I believe in Cullen Bunn. I am also somewhat enamored with the art, from page layout and composition to color and graphic design, this looks to be an exciting read.
There are also “extras” and back matter in this first issue, which include a page from Bunn's notebook, 10 pages of character designs, and also a script to inked art comparison. Yeah, the $4.99 cover price is on the expensive side, but this first issue goes far in giving readers their money's worth.

I Reads You Review: JUDGE DREDD CLASSICS: The Dark Judges #1
IDW PUBLISHING – @IDWPublishing
WRITERS: John Wagner (writing as “John Howard”); Alan Grant (writing as “T.B. Glover)
ART: Brian Bolland
LETTERS: Tom Frame
COLORS: Charlie Kirchoff
COVER: Darick Robertson with Diego Rodriguez
VARIANT COVER: Sam Shearon
28pp, Colors, $3.99 U.S. (January 2015)
Judge Dredd created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra
I will take any opportunity to praise legendary British comic book artist, Brian Bolland, that is presented to me. The most recent opportunity comes in the form of the latest Judge Dredd Classics series from IDW Publishing. Judge Dredd Classics: The Dark Judges reprints the best stories from British comics weekly, 2000 AD, that pitted Judge Dredd against the “Dark Judges.”
For those who don't know, Judge Dredd is a British comics character. He was created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra, and first appeared in the second issue of 2000 AD (1977), the long-running, weekly science-fiction British comics anthology. Joseph Dredd a/k/a Judge Dredd is an American law enforcement officer in a post-apocalyptic future. In the dystopian future city of Mega-City One, Dredd is a “street judge,” and he is empowered to summarily arrest, convict, sentence, and execute criminals.
Judge Dredd Classics: The Dark Judges #1 offers four episodes (known as “progs” in 2000 AD) of the Judge Dredd comics strip that guest-starred the ultimate Dark Judge, Judge Death. All four progs in The Dark Judges #1 are drawn by Brian Bolland.
Progs 149 to 151 comprise the story known as “Judge Death,” which introduce both Judge Death and Psi-Judge Anderson (or Judge Anderson from the Psi-Division). This story opens with the arrival of Judge Death in Mega-City One. An alien super-fiend from another dimension, Death believes that all life is a crime, and he is such a bad-ass that even the vaunted Judge Dredd seems unable to stop him.
Judge Dredd Classics: The Dark Judges #1 closes with Prog 224, the first chapter of the classic story, “Judge Death Lives!” Judge Death escapes imprisonment with the help of a fool. Meanwhile, three new characters arrive to pass the sentence of death on Mega-City One.
I think this is the first time that I have read the stories, “Judge Death,” written by John Wagner (using the name “John Howard”), and “Judge Death Lives!,” written by Wagner and Alan Grant (writing as T.B. Glover). I bought this comic book because of Brian Bolland's art, but I must admit that I enjoyed the stories.
Bolland's work here shows why he is one of the most celebrated comic book artists of the last four decades and also why he is a beloved Judge Dredd artist. Bolland's robust compositions, sturdy figure drawing, imaginative storytelling, and precision draftsmanship are all on display here. For this series, Bolland's art is refreshed and revitalized by Charlie Kirchoff's coloring.
I am surprised by Judge Dredd Classics: The Dark Judges #1, because I did not think that I would want to buy anything past the first issue. I think, however, I should try more, because I did end up enjoying reading the thing.

I Reads You Review: Happy! #1
IMAGE COMICS
WRITER: Grant Morrison
ARTIST: Darick Robertson
COLORS: Richard P. Clark
LETTERS: Simon Bowland
28pp, Color, $2.99 U.S.
Happy! is a four-issue comic book miniseries written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Darick Robertson. The series focuses on Nicholas “Nick” Sax, apparently once the best detective in his police department. At some point, he became just another intoxicated cop and sometime after that, he became a hitman.
As Happy! #1 opens, we learn from two of the Fratelli Brothers that Nick is a total evil bastard. The brothers are Nick’s target, but before the last Fratelli scion dies, he imparts a secret about the Fratelli family fortune upon Nick. Now, Nick is the target of many different interests that want this secret. Then, there’s Happy the Horse...
I’ve been a fan of Grant Morrison’s comic books since his Animal Man, and I think that he is one of the great modern comic book writers. That is not to say that he has not written mediocre or even bad work. I also still don’t understand why people think of All-Star Superman as the “work of a generation” or “era-defining work.” I found his recent Batman comics either spectacular or spectacularly dull. However, I go full fanboy for such Morrison classics as Animal Man, Doom Patrol, The Invisibles, and New X-Men (well, at least the early issues).
I’m not in full fanboy mode for Happy!. If you combined some of Ed Brubaker’s generic, paint-by-numbers crime comics with some of the tropes Mark Millar has vomited up for his Millarworld line and combined them, you’d come close to making a Happy!. I’m glad that I did not pay for this comic book, because if I had, I wouldn’t be glad.
Darick Robertson’s art is good. He can draw and actually draw comic books, but even his draftsmanship is sullied by this dull retread of dull retreads. Here and there, I found something to pique my interest for a moment or two. If I get more free copies of Happy!, I’ll keep reading and reviewing
