Chapter Two: “Frankie Goes to Hollywood”

In 1981, actress and model Cassandra Peterson created the “horror hostess character,” known as “Elvira.”  Elvira gradually grew in popularity and eventually became a brand name.  As Elvira, Peterson endorsed many products and became a pitch-woman, appearing in numerous television commercials throughout the 1980s.

Elvira also appeared in comic books, beginning in 1986 with the short-lived series from DC Comics, Elvira's House of Mystery.  In 2018, Elvira returned to comic books via Dynamite Entertainment.  Elvira's latest comic book series is Elvira in Monsterland Volume 1.  The series is written by David Avallone; drawn by Kewber Baal; colored by Walter Pereyra; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  The series finds Elvira returning to the Multiverse of Movies (a bunch of “pocket dimensions” created by the existence of movies) in order to stop Vlad the Impaler and the creation of a monster army.

Elvira in Monsterland Volume 1 #2 (“Frankie Goes to Hollywood”) opens in the universe of director Carl Laemmle, Jr.'s 1931 film, Frankenstein.  And Elvira finds the hands of the title character around her neck, but she has bigger problems – believe it or not.

Elvira's arch-enemy, Vlad the Impaler – the original Count Dracula – is raiding the Multiverse of Movies in order to convince a bevy of famous film monsters into joining him in the creation of a monster army.  He is also willing to kidnap and snatch-up.  Can Elvira stop Vlad – this time – before he makes off with actor Boris Karloff as Frankenstein.  Meanwhile, Elvira begins to wonder if Vlad is really the mastermind behind this.

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Elvira in Monsterland Volume 1 #2, one of many Dynamite/David Avallone Elvira comic books that I have read and enjoyed.

I like black and white horror movies, especially of the variety known as “Universal Monsters,” so I find myself delightfully entertained by “Frankie Goes to Hollywood.”  I also like how writer David Avallone makes even Vlad the Impaler a funny guy.  Obviously, he's the villain, but there is a dexterity in the way Avallone depicts him.  He's isn't just bad muscle.

Artist Kewber Baal's art perfectly captures the humor of Elvira, the witty dialogue of Elvira, and the cleavage of Elvira.  Avallone's Elvira's comic books are a high-spirited affair, and Baal's storytelling hits the heights.  Colorist Walter Pereyra and letterer Taylor Esposito also contribute to the liveliness of this funky chapter.

Elvira in Monsterland Volume 1 #2 offers a passing reference to Return of the Jedi (1983) in addition to the Universal references.  There is even a setup reference via An American Werewolf in London (1981).  So let's return for some more fun, dear readers.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Elvira and of David Avallone's Elvira comic books will want to read Elvira in Monsterland Volume 1.

Rated “Teen”

The Terminator created by James Cameron

“Out of Time” and “Buried Alive”

The Terminator is a 1984 American science fiction action film.  It would be the beginning of a media and merchandising franchise that yielded several films, a live-action television series, an anime streaming series, and video games, to name a few.

Co-written by the film's director, James Cameron, and producer, Gale Anne Hurd, The Terminator focuses on three characters.  The first is a cyborg, called a “Terminator,” that is sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to kill a young woman.  Her name is “Sarah Connor,” and she is destined to give birth to “John Connor.”  John will grow up to be the savior of mankind when he successful leads human military forces against the Terminators creator, “Skynet,” a AI super-intelligence determined to destroy humankind.  The third character is “Kyle Reese,” a soldier from 2029 sent to the past by an adult John Connor to protect his mother.

One aspect of the Terminator franchise is comic book publishing.  Beginning in 1988, numerous publishers, including the defunct NOW Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Marvel Comics, IDW Publishing, and Dynamite Entertainment, among others, have published Terminator comic books.  Dynamite has the license again and is kicking it off with The Terminator Volume 1.  It is written by Declan Shalvey; drawn by Luke Sparrow and Colin Craker; colored by Craker; and lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.  The Terminator Volume 1 takes place post-original film and finds Skynet sending Terminators throughout time in a bid to destroy all the people they see as threats and also their ancestors.

The Terminator Volume 1 #1 (“Out of Time”) opens in Alaska in the year 2018.  Harper and Penny have been on the run for almost 40 years.  In the beginning, they thought they were running from the man who showed up and destroyed their lives.  He wouldn't stop hunting them, and he killed both their parents and killed Penny's brother.  But they are about to discover that this man is not what he seems, and perhaps, is more than he seems.

After failing to kill either Sarah Connor or her son, John, Skynet has another plan.  There is a new front in the “War Against the Machines.”  Terminators are dispatched across the globe and throughout time to target current resistance fighters, their ancestors, and anyone else unlucky enough to be in Skynet's strike zones.  These secondary assignments are as straightforward as the primary missions of the T-800 and T-1000 Terminators of the first two films, and time is literally on the machines' side.  When all of history becomes a war zone, nowhere and no time are safe.

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  The Terminator Volume 1, Issue #1 is the latest, but it is not the first Terminator comic book that I have read.

The spirit and creativity of James Cameron and his creation, the Terminator franchise, hang over this first issue of The Terminator Volume 1, and that will certainly be the case throughout this particular series run.  This new comic book launches itself off the events depicted in the original film, The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), both co-written and directed by Cameron.  I have to give writer Declan Shalvey credit; this first issue is a page-turning read that introduces this series central conceit.  Judging by the first issue, I think Shalvey will offer some fun issues.

The art team of Luke Sparrow and Colin Craker present a small press aesthetic with a simplicity that deftly conveys the sense of fear and dread that hangs over any narrative about Terminators hunting people.  The violent action is straightforward and brutal and is effective without any illustrative theatrics.  Harper and Penny's plight seems genuine and consequential.  Colin Craker's colors even give the story a dark future mode and mood, while Jeff Eckleberry's clean lettering effectively delivers the sparse dialogue and exposition that Shalvey efficiently offers in this opening issue.

In addition to the main story, there is a back-up story, entitled “Buried Alive,” that introduces itself with a two-page opener.  It is not as if “Out of Time” is not good enough, but this first issue offers an exciting teaser for a second serial.  I gotta say, dear readers, that my initial skepticism, though light, was a thing.  After this first issue, it's no longer a thing, so you should read this first issue... at least.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of The Terminator franchise will want to read The Terminator Volume 1.

Based on the characters and stories created by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor-Smith, and Robert E. Howard

Conan the Barbarian #23 (cover dated: February 1973) saw the debut of a high fantasy, sword and sorcery heroine, Red Sonja.  Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith, Red Sonja was loosely based on “Red Sonya of Rogatino,” a female character that appeared in the 1934 short story, “The Shadow of the Vulture,” written by Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), the creator of the character, Conan the Cimmerian.

In 2005, Dynamite Entertainment began publishing comic books featuring differing versions of the character.  One of those is Red Sonja Black White and Red, an anthology comic book featuring stories from well known comic book writers and artists, with the art presented in black, white, and red.

Red Sonja Black White and Red #7 is comprised of three stories.  The first story is “Blood on Snow,” which is written by Ron Marz; drawn by Mirko Colak; and colored by Kike J. Diaz.  The second is “Unbowed,” which is written by Phil Hester and drawn and colored by Heidi Blair.  The third story is “Sonja's Gambit,” which is written Amy Chu and drawn and colored by Andres Labrada.  All the stories are lettered by Jeff Eckleberry.

I'll comment on each story individually.

THE LOWDOWN:   In July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department began providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Red Sonja Black White and Red #7, which is the sixth issue of the title that I have read.

“Blood on Snow” by Ron Marz, Mirko Colak,  Kike J. Diaz, and Jeff Eckleberry:
The story opens in snowy Nordheim.  Wounded, Red Sonja finds herself pursued by the men of the chieftain she just killed.  The She-Devil with a Sword takes shelter in an ancient temple.  Now, the two sides face off, but whose blood will stain the snow?

“Blood on Snow” is a classic Red Sonja tale pitting her against men with murder on their minds.  The story has a cool monster twist, and it is effectively done with nice art by Mirko Colak.  Also, this could be a classic Conan tale.

“Unbowed” by Phil Hester, Heidi Blair, and Jeff Eckleberry:
Red Sonja has a mission – return the body of a former teacher to the convent they both once called home.  The path she takes brings her into conflict with the “Wolf Clan.”  Can Red Sonja make it?  Is the She-Devil with a Sword like her late teacher, unbowed?

“Unbowed” is one of the best stories I have read in this anthology series.  Heidi Blair's art captures the subtly poignant mood that Phil Hester gives this story.  However, don't think for a minute that “Unbowed” lacks hacking and slashing.  It is simply that the drama here is so strong.

“Sonja's Gambit” by Amy Chu, Andres Labrada, and Jeff Eckleberry:
The story opens somewhere near the southern border Hyrkania.  Thamyris, a queen, traps Sonja in a magical game of chess.  Unfamiliar with the game, Sonja must make a gambit...

I like Andres Labrada's art in this story, and although “Sonja's Gambit” isn't a great Red Sonja tale, it is a nice little magical story.

It is hard for me to pick a favorite story from the offerings in Red Sonja Black White and Red #7.  I'll go with “Unbowed,” although “Blood on Snow” is a close second.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Red Sonja will want to try Red Sonja Black White and Red.

Chapter One: “The Collect Call of Cthulhu”

In 1981, actress and model Cassandra Peterson created the “horror hostess character,” known as “Elvira.”  Elvira gradually grew in popularity and eventually became a brand name.  As Elvira, Peterson endorsed many products and became a pitch-woman, appearing in numerous television commercials throughout the 1980s.

Elvira also appeared in comic books, beginning in 1986 with the short-lived series from DC Comics, Elvira's House of Mystery.  In 2018, Elvira returned to comic books via Dynamite Entertainment.  Elvira's latest comic book series is Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1.  The series is written by David Avallone; drawn by Kewber Baal; colored by Walter Pereyra; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.

Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 #1 (“The Collect Call of Cthulhu”) opens with Elvira about to enjoy some dreamy boot-knocking when she is mystically cock-blocked.  Infamous horror and fantasy author, H.P. Lovecraft, has returned from his sweet hereafter, the Abyss.  It seems that one of the “Elder Gods,” the Lord of the Abyss has a mission for Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

He must find the last true copy of the ancient tome of dark magic, “the Necronomicon.”  Completing this task will free Lovecraft from his miserable eternity.  Lovecraft's first problem is that he needs Elvira to join him because she has a reputation in many mystical realms of being the one who turns back all manner of supernatural threats.  His second problem is that Elvira is not interested, even if it means the return of Cthulhu.

However, the threat may be bigger and more familiar than she realizes...

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  One of them is Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1 #1, one of many Dynamite/David Avallone Elvira comic books that I have read and enjoyed.

I really enjoyed writer David Avallone and artist Juan Samu's sexy, ghostly romp, Elvira Meets Vincent Price, a five-issue miniseries published in 2021.  Avallone offers another tasty... coupling, this time pairing the Mistress of the Dark with a ghost of American arts and culture who is not nearly as delightful as Vincent Price, the renowned fantasy and horror author, H.P. Lovecraft.  Avallone sprinkles the script for this first issue with references to Lovecraft's reputation, including a sly, near slip of the tongue regarding Lovecraft's racism and bigotry.  Whereas Elvira Meets Vincent Price reads like a comic book version of a Bob Hope romp, however, Elvira Meets Vincent Price seems to be dark and maybe scarier.  At least, that is my take on it this early in the series.

Artist Kewber Baal proved to an excellent match for Avallone's humor in the most recent Elvira comic book miniseries, Elvira in Monsterland.  Here, Baal turns Avallone script into a swell comedy, but his graphical storytelling surrounds the repartee with a swirling mass of darkness and horror comic book energy.  Walter Pereyra's colors convey this interplay of comedy and scary that keep the story moving.

I'm being conservative with my grade for this first issue of Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft, but I am very excited about it.  I expect great things, and dear readers, I expect you to read Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft #1.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Elvira and of David Avallone's Elvira comic books will want to read Elvira Meets H.P. Lovecraft Volume 1.

#IReadsYou Review: SPACE GHOST Volume 1 #5

SPACE GHOST VOL. 1 #5

STORY: David Pepose

ART: Jonathan Lau

COLORS: Andrew Dalhouse

LETTERS: Taylor Esposito

EDITOR: Joseph Rybandt

COVER: Francesco Mattina

VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Jae Lee with June Chung; Michael Cho; Bjorn Barends; Ken Haeser

32pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (September 2024)

Rated “Teen”

“The Dawn of the Devourer!”

Space Ghost is a superhero character created by the American animation studio and production company, Hanna-Barbera Productions.  The character first appeared in the Saturday morning cartoon series, “Space Ghost,” which was originally broadcast on CBS from September 1966 to September 1967 for 20 episodes.

In his original incarnation, Space Ghost was a superhero whose base of operations was a small world known as “Ghost Planet.”  He fought super-villains in outer space with his teen sidekicks, Jan and Jace, and their monkey, Blip.  His main weapons were power bands he wore around his wrists and lower arms; the bands fired off multiple energy beam-based attacks, including heat, cold, and force, to name a few.  Space Ghost could also fly, survive in space, and turn invisible (his “Inviso Power”).  He also had a space ship known as “the Phantom Cruiser.”

Space Ghost sporadically appeared in various comic book publications over a fifty year period.  Dynamite Entertainment has just launched a new Space Ghost comic book as part of its licensing agreement with Warner Bros.  Entitled Space Ghost Volume 1, it is written by David Pepose; drawn by Jonathan Lau; colored by Andrew Dalhouse; and lettered by Taylor Esposito.  In the new series, twins Jan and Jace Keplar and their pet monkey, Blip, meet that legendary cosmic vigilante known as “the Space Ghost.”

Space Ghost Volume 1 #5 (“The Dawn of the Devourer!”) opens at Grax-3 where Space Ghost is on a rampage to find his nemesis, Zorak, who kidnapped Jan and Jace.  Zorak, however, is quite happy to see Space Ghost, as he has a very special need of him.

For today marks the new day, the Dawn of the Devourer – All hail the Locust of the Apocalypse!"  And Space Ghost is going to help him arrive, or he will see Jan and Jace destroyed.  Meanwhile, where is Blip, and how will young Jace come out of this trauma?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Space Ghost Volume 1 #5 is the latest, but it is not the first Space Ghost comic book that I have read.

The first five issues of Dynamite's Space Ghost revival comic book are a pure delight.  Writer David Pepose is making me rapidly run out of good things to say about his storytelling.  I think I'm repeating myself already.  While Pepose retains the traditional Space Ghost narrative aesthetic, he raises all kinds of unholy hell for the climax of this battle with Zorak.  For me, this hints at continued great things to come from this excellent writer.

Artist Jonathan Lau also wants to actually raise Hell with his graphical storytelling.  Lau captures the madness in Pepose's script for issue #5 and lets loose his guns to recall the best chaos of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Andrew Dalhouse in turn unleashes fire and brimstone to amplify Lua's storytelling into an red, orange, and yellow inferno.  Letterer Taylor Esposito adds the fuel to make it all burn, baby, burn.

I'm having a blast reading Space Ghost Volume 1, dear readers.  I want this for you, too.  This Space Ghost is super, man.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Warner Bros. comic book series will want to read Space Ghost Volume 1.

Rated “Teen”

“A Beauty of a Beast”

Hercules is a 1997 animated, musical-fantasy, and comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation.  It is loosely based on the legendary hero, Heracles.  In the film, he is known by his Roman name, Hercules, and he is the son of Zeus, the king of the gods of Mount Olympus.  Hercules is a demigod with super-strength, and he was raised among mortals.

In Disney's Hercules, the young hero must learn to become a true hero in order to earn back his godhood and a place in Mount Olympus.  His evil uncle, Hades, plots his downfall, and while Hercules defeats Hades, he ultimately decides to deactivate his god powers.  He remains in Greece with his girlfriend, Megara also known as Meg.

Dynamite Entertainment has been producing licensed comic books based on Disney characters and IP since 2022.  The latest is Hercules Volume 1.  It is written by Elliot Kalan; drawn by George Kambadais; colored by Giulia Giacomino and Simona Guida; and lettered Jeff Eckleberry.  The series continues the adventures of Hercules and is set after the events of the original film.

Hercules Volume 1 #1 (“A Beauty of a Beast”) finds Hercules living his best mortal life as a monster hunter in Greece, currently capturing “the Man-Eating Lion of Nemea.”  Meg and Phil, Hercules' satyr (half-man, half-goat) friend, cheer him on.  But not everyone is happy...

Zeus wants his son to give up his life as mortal.  He believes that people shouldn't be cheering Hercules for being the hero who clears the Earth of the monsters that he (Zeus) inexplicably put there.  He believes those people should be worshiping his son as a god of Olympus.  Hercules wants to stay on Earth, and now, he is facing yet another monster threat.  But this time, is god-worshiping the real problem in this case of another monster run amuck?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  Hercules Volume 1, Issue #1 is the latest.

I have seen Disney's Hercules only once, some months after its original release... via VHS.  The only thing I remember about the film is one of its song, “Go the Distance.”  Written by composer and “Disney Legend” (2002), Alan Menken, and lyricist David Zippel, the song is performed in the film by voice actor, Roger Bart, who provides the singing voice for “young Hercules.”  “Go the Distance” is one of my all-time favorite songs from a Disney animated feature.

Now, I enjoyed reading Hercules #1 so much that I want to see the film again.  This comic book's writer is Elliot Kalan, a comedian who has won four Primetime Emmy Awards for his work on Comedy Central's “The Daily Show.”  Kalan also wrote the 2015 Marvel Comics' miniseries, Spider-Man & The X-Men.  Kalan's previous comic book writing experience shows in his breezy script for this first issue.  It is filled with sparkling dialogue, but the best thing about Kalan's storytelling is the imaginative way that he weaves together several subplots and competing character motivations.  For instance, the clash between Hercules and Zeus and the true nature of the latest monster-to-be-fought reflect this first issue's dominant theme of self-determination.

Kalan is also blessed to have as the graphical storyteller of this series artist George Kambadais.  It is no exaggeration to say the Kambadais is a master of storytelling, pacing, intensity, and drama, as seen in Dynamite's 2022 miniseries, John Carter of Mars, which Kambadais drew as a pulpy, sci-fi thriller that rides on the razor's edge.  Here, Kambadais is smoother is his depiction of action, suspense, and mystery, but the story is explosive in its own way.

Thus far, Hercules Volume 1 #1 is the best Dynamite/Disney first issue that I've read.  I'll recommend it to you, dear readers, without reservations.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Dynamite Entertainment's Disney comic book series will want to read Hercules Volume 1.
