Review: LIFEFORMED: Hearts and Minds

LIFEFORMED: HEARTS AND MINDS
DARK HORSE COMICS – @DarkHorseComics

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

STORY: Matt Mair Lowery
ART: Cassie Anderson
LETTERS: Cassie Anderson
EDITOR: Rachel Roberts
COVER: Cassie Anderson
ISBN: 978-1-50670-937-6; paperback; 6” x 9” (September 20, 2019)
200pp, Color, $12.99 U.S., $17.50 CAN (September 4, 2019 – comic book shops)

Age range: 12; Genre Science Fiction, Action/Adventure

Lifeformed: Hearts and Minds is a 2019 young adult, science fiction graphic novel from authors, writer Matt Mair Lowery and artist Cassie Anderson.  It is a direct sequel to the 2017 original graphic novel,  Lifeformed: Cleo Makes ContactLifeformed follows an 11-year-old orphan and the shape-shifting alien she befriends as they travel the countryside in the wake of an alien invasion... and fight back.

Cleo Elward was a typical 11-year-old girl on the verge of teen brat-hood, when the unbelievable happened.  The sky above her hometown was suddenly filled with strange airships, heralding an alien invasion.  Cleo's loving and doting father, Alex Elward, a single-parent, was killed during first wave of the attack.  Within moments of Alex's death, an alien arrived and approached his corpse.  The alien shifted its form so that it resembled Alex.  This alien shape-shifter, who turned out to be a rebel helped the now-orphaned Cleo escape the invasion by traveling the countryside.  Now, Cleo and alien-dad-Alex survive together and act as a tiny insurgency against an invasion.

Lifeformed: Hearts and Minds finds Cleo, who has fully left behind the life she knew, fighting for the future of Earth. Cleo and Alex now make a fearsome fighting team in a guerrilla war against the invaders, but this duo is actually two complex individuals and personalities, each with his or her own desires.  Alex, with increasing frequency and intensity, is experiencing the real Alex Elward's memories of his daughter and of being a father.  Now, Alex is suddenly more protective of Cleo, but he is also more controlling about their movements and activities, especially of Cleo's.

Meanwhile, Cleo's intelligence and curiosity and developing personality want to explore, regardless of the rules “new daddy” is setting down.  Escaping at night or whenever Alex sleeps, Cleo explores the city to its edges, ducking alien patrols.  Then, she meets a strange alien and a group of “soldier spawns” acting more peculiar than usual.  All the while, Cleo does not know that a recent adversary has returned to stalk her.

Back in early 2018, writer Matt Mair Lowery, the co-author of the Lifeformed graphic novels, contacted me via Twitter.  He offered my a PDF review copy of Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact.  I was surprised by his slide into my Twitter DM's, as I had never heard of him or his comic book.

Lowery's outreach turned out to be a good thing.  Lowery and artist Cassie Anderson created in Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact one of the best young adult graphic novels that I have read over the past few years.  At the time, it was my duty, not so much as a reviewer, but as a devotee of the comics medium to tell comic book fans and readers how good Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact was.

Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact's themes of courage and choice resonate throughout the narrative of Lifeformed: Hearts and Minds as much as they did in the original.  Hearts and Minds also focuses on the themes of hope and of offering a helping hand.  In Hearts and Minds, Lowery and Anderson give an intimate view on Cleo's internal struggles and dilemmas and, to a lesser degree, on similar struggles of other characters in the story.  What the authors seem to suggest is that any character totally focused only on what he, she, or it wants ultimately finds despair instead of hope.  Characters that in the end despair cannot offer a helping hand, and, quite frankly, are finally incapable of recognizing help when it is sincerely offered to them.

Cassie Anderson's illustrations and graphical storytelling remain powerfully dramatic.  Anderson is imaginative in her use of color; every page has an unexpected hue that makes the reader take a harder look at the action on the page.  Her lettering emphasizes Lifeformed's quiet and contemplative side, so that, while Hearts and Mind is a science fiction thriller, it is also an exploration of the hearts and minds of the characters.

I hope young readers and mature readers discover the new graphic novel, Lifeformed: Hearts and Minds, and the original, Lifeformed: Cleo Makes Contact.  They're both so f—cking good.

Yaoi Review: FOURTH GENERATION HEAD: Tatsuyuki Oyamoto

FOURTH GENERATION HEAD: TATSUYUKI OYAMATO
SUBLIME MANGA (Shinshokan) – @SuBLimeManga

MANGAKA: Scarlet Beriko
TRANSLATION: Christine Dashiell
LETTERS: James Dashiell
EDITOR: Hope Donovan
ISBN: 978-1-9747-0710-2; paperback (August 2019); Rated “M” for “Mature”
232pp, B&W, $12.99 U.S., $17.99 CAN, £8.99 UK

Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato is a yaoi manga from creator Scarlet Beriko (Jackass!).  Yaoi manga is a subset of boys' love (or BL) manga, which depicts amorous situations between male romantic leads.  Yaoi manga usually features explicit depictions of sex between those male leads.  SuBLime Manga recently published Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato in English as a standalone graphic novel.

Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato (Chapters 1 to 8) introduces 24-year-old Tatsuyuki Oyamato.  He is the fourth generation heir of “the Oyamato Syndicate,” Japan's largest yakuza organization.  Tatsuyuki, however, is not interested in being a yakuza boss, but enjoys being a playboy.  After Tatsuyuki has an erotic encounter with a masseur, Oyamato Syndicate retainer, Asoda, decides to send the wayward heir on an “adventure” to the city of Fukuoka.

Not long after arriving, Tatsuyuki is practically kidnapped and raped by a man who claims to have a past with him.  But who is this Nozomi Koga?  If he did know Tatsuyuki in the past, was Nozomi different?  And just how connected to Tatsuyuki and Nozomi's pasts is the loan shark, Uichi Roga?

[Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato includes extra material, including an illustrated “Afterword;” the manga short story, “Personal Space,” and another manga, “Bonus.”]

One thing that I can say with utmost confidence is that the Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato manga is intense.  The second thing I can say confidently is that this manga depicts dirty, crazy lust.

Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato features sex – rough and passionate and consensual.  Sometimes, the story does present that kind of romance novel did-not-say-yes-but-did-not-say-no lovemaking.  I guess it's kind of rapey.  The truth is that Tatsuyuki and Koga have so much personal baggage from their respective childhoods that it would make sense that creator Scarlet Beriko would have her lead characters be a little troubled, both in personality and in attitude.  But they grope, thrust, hump, lick, and suck their way to happiness and happy-ever-after.

I have to be honest.  The yakuza angle and subplots don't really work.  It all seems forced and contrived, but translator Christine Dashiell makes the best of it in English.  Still, I cannot call this some kind of romance slash crime-drama.  It is a yaoi manga.

Beriko's compositions are loose and fluid, sometimes shifting and impressionistic.  Her art fits this story of mercurial personalities and conniving liars.  James Dashiell lettering perfectly conveys the secrets and lies and the cries and whispers... and the sounds of sex.  “Pant,” “thrust,” “slap,” and “Ha” make frequent appearances as sound effects.

Fans of truly explicit yaoi manga and of highly melodramatic boys' love with want to read Fourth Generation Head: Tatsuyuki Oyamato.

Review: ACTION COMICS #1001

ACTION COMICS No. 1001
DC COMICS – @DCComics

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

STORY: Brian Michael Bendis
ART: Patrick Gleason
COLORS: Alejandro Sanchez
LETTERS: Josh Reed
COVER: Patrick Gleason with Brad Anderson
VARIANT COVER: Francis Manapul
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (September 2018)

Rated “T” for “Teen”

Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster

“Invisible Mafia”

DC Comics' Superman comic books enter a new era with a new head writer and a new Superman #1 issue (the third in seven years).  Superman is the most famous DC Comics superhero character.  Created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 (cover dated: June 1938).  And now a thousand issues later, Brian Michael Bendis is the writer of Action Comics.  His creative cohorts on Action Comics include artist Patrick Gleason, colorist Alejandro Sanchez, and letterer Josh Reed.

Action Comics #1001 (“Invisible Mafia”) finds Superman stopping a armed burglary.  Then, Superman is back to being Clark Kent, and returns to his job at the venerable newspaper, The Daily Planet.  That is where Clark Kent learns that someone has accused Superman of being the arsonist responsible for a rash of horrible apartment fires that have spread across the city of Metropolis.  The truth may be connected to a shadowy cabal, but can Superman convince people that he is not an arsonist when some of them are starting to be suspicious of the Man of Steel?

As I have already written a few times, I really want to like Brian Michael Bendis' Superman comic books.  For the most part, I enjoyed his debut series, The Man of Steel, a six-issue miniseries, and his recent Superman #1.

I think that I like Action Comics #1001 the most, at least by a little.  Patrick Gleason's illustrations bring out the best of Bendis' script for this issue.  His story is a mix of workplace intrigue and comedy; a little detective story, and super-powered conspiracy.  Gleason works the drama and humor in such a subtle way that I found myself surprised that some moment of the story really hit me.  Bendis spends so much of the story working and playing with a large cast of characters, a variety of genders, ages, and ethnicity, and Gleason captures the breath of Bendis' character drama.

Alejandro Sanchez's colors are lush, but are also evocative in the way they reveal the personality of both the characters and the stories.  Letterer Josh Reed deftly spreads out all those balloons it takes to turn Bendis' dialogue into comic book graphics.

I like Action Comics #1001, and I give it a high recommendation without reservation.

Review: DOOMSDAY CLOCK #1

DOOMSDAY CLOCK No. 1 (OF 12)
DC COMICS – @DCComics

[This review was originally posted on Patreon.]

STORY: Geoff Johns
ART: Gary Frank
COLORS: Brad Anderson
LETTERS: Rob Leigh
COVER: Gary Frank with Brad Anderson
VARIANT COVERS: Gary Frank with Brad Anderson; Gary Frank; Dave Gibbons (lenticular cover)
40pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (January 2018)

Rated “T+” for Teen Plus

Watchmen created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons

“That Annihilated Place”

Watchmen was a limited series comic book written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons.  It was initially published by DC Comics in 1986 and 1987 as a 12-issue maxiseries (a term DC still uses).  Since that time, DC has published the entire series in numerous paperback and hardcover collections and limited editions.

Doomsday Clock is a new 12-issue miniseries or “maxiseries” from DC Comics.  It is written by Geoff Johns; drawn by Gary Frank; colored by Brad Anderson; and lettered by Rob Leigh.  Doomsday Clock will introduce characters from Moore and Gibbons' Watchmen into the main DC Comics Universe.

Doomsday Clock #1 (“That Annihilated Place”) opens on November 22, 1992 on the world in which Watchmen is set.  The story opens in the aftermath of the apparent revelation of Ozymandias' scheme to bring peace among nations and mankind to the Earth (as seen in Watchmen #12).  However, the world is now on the brink of destruction, and Ozymandias is a wanted man.

Rorschach, whose diary revealed Ozymandias' scheme, is believed to be dead, but he is alive and in prison.  Is this the same Rorschach who was once a colleague of Ozymandias and later, his ultimate challenger?  And what does Rorschach want of a fellow prisoner?

In the thirty years since it first published Watchmen, DC Comics has not been able to publish any superhero comic book that was nearly as popular or as influential as Moore and Gibbons' masterpiece.  While I think that Watchmen was one of the best comic books of its time, I don't think that it is the “greatest comic book of all time,” as some think, and I have moved on.

DC Comics has not, and that is why it published, beginning in 2012, “Before Watchmen,” a series of miniseries (and a single-issue comic book) set in the world of and taking place before Watchmen.  Because DC cannot move on and/or cannot replicate Watchmen, we now have Doomsday Clock, a kind of sequel.

I have to admit to liking Doomsday Clock #1.  The first issue intrigues, but it requires that readers have more than a passing knowledge of Watchmen in order to fully enjoy it.  Geoff Johns is nowhere near as good or as imaginative a comic book writer as Alan Moore, but Johns, at times, can be quite good and inventive at times, also.

While Gary Frank is no Dave Gibbons, Frank's drawing style is similar to Gibbons', and Frank is stylish and skillful.  I also think that Frank has the talent to deliver great comics works, but thus far in his career, he has only produced pretty art in a number of high-quality comic books that are often little more than entertainment product – McComics, if you will.  Some of those I would call exceptional, but, like a lot of comic book artists, Frank has yet to find a writer that can not only bring out of his best work, but also challenge him to deliver a masterpiece.

So I do not think that Geoff Johns and Gary Frank will produce in Doomsday Clock anything nearly as impressive or as memorable as Watchmen.  I do think Johns and Frank could produce a comic book that is better than most superhero comic books that DC Comics currently publishes or has published in the last 30 years.  Doomsday Clock #1 hints that it could happen.
