Justice League of America created by Gardner Fox
Introduction by Damon Lindelof
The Justice League of America is a DC Comics team of superheroes. The team was conceived by writer Gardner Fox in the late 1950s as a then modern update of the 1940s superhero team, the Justice Society of America. The Justice League of America's original line-up of superheroes was comprised of Superman (Clark Kent), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Wonder Woman (Diana Prince), The Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Aquaman (Arthur Curry), and the Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz). This group first appeared together as the Justice League of America in the comic book, The Brave and the Bold #28 (cover dated: March 1960).
The team received its own comic book title entitled Justice League of America, beginning with a first issue cover dated November 1960. Justice League of America #261 (cover dated: April 1987) was the series' final issue, and a new series, simply titled Justice League, began with a first issue cover dated May 1987. The title, “Justice League of America,” would not be used for an ongoing comic book series for almost two decades.
After the events of the event miniseries, Infinite Crisis, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman reformed the Justice League of America as seen in Justice League #0 (cover dated: September 2006). The kickoff of a new Justice League of America ongoing comic book series was under the guidance of writer Brad Meltzer and pencil artist Ed Benes. The rest of the creative team was comprised of artist Sandra Hope (inks); colorist Alex Sinclair; and letterer Rob Leigh.
DC Comics reprinted Meltzer and Benes' Justice League of America issues #1 to #7 (cover dates: October 2006 to May 2007) in the collection, Justice League of America: The Tornado's Path. It was released first in a hardcover edition in June 2007, and was later released in its first paperback edition in August 2008.
Justice League of America: The Tornado's Path begins with a framing sequence. It depicts Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman's mission to build a new Justice League of America. Elsewhere, dark forces have gathered to take down a longtime member of the League.
John Smith, the robot superhero known as “Red Tornado,” is about to get a new lease on life. With the help of Deadman and Dr. Will Magnus (creator of the Metal Men), John is going to transfer his “soul” into a duplicate body of the recently deceased metahuman, Multiplex. The duplicate or clone is brain dead. By becoming a flesh and blood human, Red Tornado believes that he can become a real husband to his wife, Kathy Sutton, and to their adopted daughter, Traya. However, a conspiracy led by some of the Justice League's most powerful and evil adversaries has other plans for Red Tornado and for the new Justice League of America.
THE LOWDOWN: I remember, lo those many years ago, what big news it was that bestselling novelist, Brad Meltzer, would be the writer that would help launch (or relaunch) a new Justice League of America comic book series. Meltzer had already wowed fans and courted some controversy just a few years earlier with his DC Comics event comic book miniseries, Identity Crisis (2004-05).
Meltzer's opening Justice League of America story arc, “The Tornado's Path,” lived up to the anticipation. For one thing, the Red Tornado/John Smith's situation was just so tragic. Sure, the idea of his soul being transferred into the brain dead clone body of a dead man was (and is) super-gross. Still, Metltzer made me feel that Smith's journey was honest and genuine. Also, the villains were damn mean and evil. Meltzer wasn't trying to do something similar to what Marvel Comics writers have been trying to do with X-Men character, Magneto, for four decades – turn an evil, racist mass murderer into a tragic Holocaust survivor. No, the villains that appear in this story arc (and I don't want to spoil their identities for those of you who have not, but should read this story) are evil, lowdown, dirty-ass muthas, and they want to annihilate some JLA ass.
Speaking of the Justice League, I find that Meltzer did not so much give them personalities as he simply wrote an engaging character drama in which he made all the characters interesting. The characters were equal parts poignant, dramatic, and humorous, but the potential for superhero action-violence was always there.
Artist Ed Benes did some really good work here. His pencil art, especially under Sandra Hope's inks, was clearly inspired by some of the artists of the late 1980s and early 1990s who founded Image Comics. However, Benes' graphical storytelling was powerfully dramatic. He drew costumed characters with broad, muscular, meaty, and thick bodies that filled up the panels with power and the potential for power. Benes made every threat of or potential for violence feel real. The contents of each panel were designed and staged for maximum effect. He gave this story epic power, although “The Tornado's Path” did not feel so much like an epic as it did feel like a consequential moment in the history of Justice League of America comic books.
I don't have much to say about the coloring by Alex Sinclair; his work here is among his lesser achievements. On the other hand, Rob Leigh's lettering helps to sell the elements of drama, violence, and danger in this story. I had been putting off reading Brad Meltzer's Justice League of America comics for years, and fortune brought this trade collection into my hands. I'm glad it did.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Brad Meltzer and of the Justice League of America will want to treat themselves to Justice League of America: The Tornado's Path.

The Darkness created by Marc Silvestri, Garth Ennis, and David Wohl
“Coming of Age”
The Darkness is a long-running comic book series created by artist Marc Silvestri, writer Garth Ennis, and editor David Wohl. The Darkness focuses on Jackie Estacado, a mafia hit man who inherits “the curse of the Darkness.” The character made his debut in Witchblade #10 (November 1996) before making his solo debut in his own series.
In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Darkness #1 (December 1996), Image Comics and Top Cow Productions, Inc. are publishing The Darkness #1 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition. This one-shot comic book reprints the story contents from The Darkness #1 and also includes an interview, an essay, a five-page section reprinting select cover illustrations produced during the series first 16 years, and other material.
The Darkness #1 (“Coming of Age”) opens at night on the Lower East Side of New York City. Tall, dark, and handsome mafia hit man, Jackie Estacado, has just executed his latest target in service of his boss, Don Franchetti. This latest bloody move by the Franchetti mob starts a bloody skirmish with rival mobster, Don Tommy Marchianni. Jackie, Don Franchetti's top enforcer, is caught in the middle.
But the young killer has bigger problems. He is about to turn 21-years-old, and “The Darkness” is about to start calling for him. And the “Angelus” is coming for him.
THE LOWDOWN: I read the first 10 or 12 issues of the original run of The Darkness back in 1996-97, but I eventually grew bored with this comic book and stopped reading it. I have to admit that I had high expectations for it. After all, the writer was Garth Ennis, red-hot in the mid-1990s because of his DC Comics/Vertigo series, Preacher. I was a huge fan of post-Marvel Comics Marc Silvestri. I thought many the comic books that Silvestri drew for Marvel Comics looked awful because of his chicken-scratch drawing style. But Image Comics-Marc Silvestri seemed like an entirely different artist, especially when Silvestri's pencils were inked by the great Scott Williams.
Yet every time I read The Darkness, I felt like Ennis and Silvestri were not really delivering on this concept's potential. I understood that the universe of Silvestri's Top Cow Productions, Inc. was obsessed with some kind of angelic vs. demonic rivalry, similar to that of Jim Lee's Wildstorm Productions universe. However, I didn't think that Ennis and Silvestri really understood where they could take The Darkness in terms of narrative. In The Darkness, Ennis delivered a stillborn version of the usual outtakes from his ultra-violence wheelhouse. Silvestri's art was an unimaginative spin on the grim-and-gritty riffs that everyone was stealing from Frank Miller's Batman comics.
I don't know if The Darkness every reached its potential. Frankly, I didn't give a crap after I stopped reading the series, but on occasion, I would see an issue of The Darkness and wonder about it … I have to admit.
The Darkness #1 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition commemorates an anniversary that is only important to Top Cow because … let's be frank … it does not have much to commemorate. The original Image Comics creators, Marc Silvestri among them, turned their studios into vanity project factories that produced poorly written comic books that featured the kind of art that only the artists and their sycophantic fans thought was great. This is something that can be said of many of the artists associated with Image Comics first decade, for instance Rob Liefeld and J. Scott Campbell.
It is only in the last 15 years or so that Image Comics has delivered on the promise that the birth of the publisher offered to both comic book creators and readers. The Darkness represents a placeholder in the evolution of Image Comics. After the fanfare for their first wave of comic book series faded, some of Image's founders moved on to offering exciting new concepts. For Jim Lee, it was Divine Right, and for Silvestri, it was The Darkness. At least, The Darkness ran much longer than Divine Right.
The Darkness #1 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition, as a package, is nothing special, but – and there is a big but – reading it again did remind me that The Darkness still has great potential. I enjoyed re-reading this reprint of the first issue, and I might reread a few more of the original issues. I still think that The Darkness is an outside-the-box comic book concept that could be an exceptional dark fantasy comic book. But will it ever be that? Does it matter?
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Top Cow Productions' comic books will want The Darkness #1 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition.

Review: DARTH MAUL #1
MARVEL COMICS – @Marvel
[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]
WRITER: Cullen Bunn
ART: Luke Ross
COLORS: Nolan Woodard
LETTERS: VC's Joe Caramagna
COVER: Rod Reis
VARIANT COVERS: Rafael Albuquerque; Mark Brooks; John Tyler Christopher; Terry Dodson; Rod Reis; Michael Turner; Ashley Witter

Rated “T”
Book 1, Part 1
Since he first appeared in the film Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Darth Maul has been a favorite character of Star Wars fans. Maul is a Sith Lord, an apprentice to Darth Sidious, and is seemingly killed in his film debut. With striking facial tattoos, vestigial horns, and a double-bladed lightsaber, however, Maul proved too popular to stay dead. The character returned in the canonical Star Wars animated series, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels.”
Now, Darth Maul gets his first Star Wars comic book from Marvel Comics. [There were Darth Maul comic books from Dark Horse Comics, the previous license holder of Star Wars comic books]. Entitled, Darth Maul, this five-issue miniseries is written by Cullen Bunn; drawn by Luke Ross; colored by Nolan Woodard; and lettered by Joe Caramagna.
Darth Maul #1 opens before the events depicted in The Phantom Menace. The Sith Lord, Sidious, is not ready to reveal himself to his enemy, the Jedi. However, his apprentice, Darth Maul, grows restless, and finds that hunting some of the galaxy's most dangerous creatures does not satisfy his blood lust. Now, Sidious sends Maul on a mission that will unexpectedly yield just the kind of hunting that Maul really wants to undertake.
It is easy for me to be cynical every time Marvel Comics announces another Star Wars comic book, but I know I am going to read at least the first issue of each new series, and likely read miniseries in their entirety. Sometimes, I am genuinely happy with what I read, which is the case with Darth Maul.
Writer Cullen Bunn completely sells the idea that Maul so chafes under Sidious that he would willingly tempt fate and go against his master's wishes just to feed his blood lust. It is a side of Maul that writers of Star Wars animated television series and novels have either hinted at or fully depicted. With his Darth Maul comic book, it seems that Bunn is going to use this to full effect, and he may actually take the character places others have not.
The art team of Luke Ross and Nolan Woodard are producing a visual and graphical style that is unlike other Star Wars comic books. I don't know if Woodard is coloring the art directly from Ross' pencils, but the effect is striking – bold, rich colors over moody compositions. I recommend.
[This issue includes the bonus story, “Probe Droid Problem” by Chris Eliopoulos and Jordie Bellaire.]
