#IReadsYou Review: LORD OF THE JUNGLE VOL. 3 #4

LORD OF THE JUNGLE VOLUME 3 #4
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

STORY: Dan Jurgens
ART: Benito Gallego
COLORS: Francesco Segala with Agnes Pozza
LETTERS: Carlos M. Mangual
EDITOR: Matt Idelson
COVER: Philip Tan
32pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (March 2023)

Rated Teen+

“Treasure of Blood!”

Tarzan is one of the most famous fictional characters in the world.  Tarzan was an orphan and the archetypal “feral child,” and in this instance, he was raised in the African jungle by great apes.  Tarzan was born a noble, John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, but he rejected civilization and lived in the wilds of Africa as a heroic adventurer.  Tarzan was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs and first appeared in the novel, Tarzan of the Apes, which began serialization in The All-Story in 1912, before it was published in book form in 1914.  Tarzan would go onto to be a multimedia star, appearing in films, on television, and in comic books.

The latest Tarzan comic book is Dynamite Entertainment's Lord of the Jungle Volume 3. It is written by Dan Jurgens; drawn by Benito Gallego; colored by Francesco Segala; and lettered by Carlos M. Mangual.  The story involves an event that occurred in the early years of Tarzan's adventures, and he returns to Africa to right a past wrong no matter what manner of beast or obstacle stands in his way.

Lord of the Jungle Volume 3 #4 (“Treasure of Blood!”) opens in Africa, in the 1950s.  Tarzan, Lord Greystoke continues his mission of retribution and has successfully broken into a museum to steal the “Diamonds of the Triad.”  Once upon a time, these jewels were treasures from “the Valley of Mists.”

Tarzan's old friend, a local named Bouanga, tells the story of how Carson, a white hunter from England, first encountered Tarzan decades earlier.  He also tells of the mission Tarzan undertook to save Bouanga's life – a mission to steal “the Treasures of the Mists.”  But now, like then, Tarzan finds himself surrounded by men determined to take him down before he can escape with his treasures.

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 Lord of the Jungle Volume 3 #4, which is only the fourth issue of a solo Dynamite Tarzan comic book that I have read.

Writer Dan Jurgens offers an old-fashioned jungle adventure that spans two eras of Tarzan's life.  This is a gripping action-thriller that enthralls and engages on every page.  I like that Jurgens captures both the human and the wild-man-warrior in Tarzan and that he shows the vulnerability of both sides.  Tarzan knows loyalty and apparently, has compassion.

Artist Benito Gallego's storytelling remains gripping and thrilling, and it is some of the most beautifully drawn comic book art being published today.  It is a good thing that Gallego's drawing style resembles that of the late comic book legend, Joe Kubert.  Kubert had a four-year stint (1972-76) as writer-artist and later as writer-only of DC Comics' Tarzan comic book series, considered by some to be among his best work.  Colorist Francesco Segala's lovely colors capture the varied moods of this story's settings, both in time and locale, and gives this tale a sense that it is from a bygone era.  Letterer Carlos M. Mangual brings a sense of high drama and with his stylish, emotive fonts

Lord of the Jungle Volume 3 #4, like earlier issues, strongly delivers on the potential the first issue promised.  I rarely read Tarzan comic books, but I will read this series' entire run.  I highly recommend it to you, dear readers.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Tarzan comic books will want to read Lord of the Jungle Volume 3.

#IReadsYou Review: THE MAGIC ORDER 4 #5

THE MAGIC ORDER 4 #5 (OF 6)
IMAGE COMICS/Netflix

STORY: Mark Millar
ART: Dike Ruan
COLORS: Giovanna Niro
LETTERS: Clem Robins
EDITORIAL: Sarah Unwin
COVER: Dike Ruan with Giovanna Niro
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Dan Panosian; Dike Ruan
36pp, Color, $3.99 U.S. (May 2023)

Rated M / Mature

The Magic Order created by Mark Millar at Netflix

The Magic Order 4 is a six-issue miniseries from writer Mark Millar and artist Dike Ruan.  The is the fourth installment of The Magic Order series, which began with the 2018-19 miniseries written by Millar and drawn by Olivier Coipel.  The Magic Order is a band of sorcerers, magicians, and wizards – with a focus on the Moonstone family – that live ordinary lives by day, but protect humanity from darkness and monsters of impossible sizes by night.  Colorist Giovanna Niro and letterer Clem Robins complete the series creative team.

The Magic Order 4 focuses on a coup within the order, one that has left the Moonstones defeated … seemingly … by the dark one who always wanted to rule the order – the supposedly defeated Madame Albany.  Now, to save everything, Cordelia Moonstone, the now deposed leader, will have to go way down in the dirty dirty to restore order.

The Magic Order 4 #5 opens in the world/dimension known as “Kolthur,” the realm of the Wizard King.  Cordelia must face her brother, Perditus, her parents' eldest child, the one who was given to the Hordes of Kolthur when he was but a child.  Now, Perditus just wants to kill his li'l sis, Cordelia Moonstone.

It is looking like Cordelia won't be able to defeat her powerful sibling, but she must if she is going to return to Earth.  Madame Albany is already plotting to destroy reality.

THE LOWDOWN:  My favorite Mark Millar Netflix creation is The Magic Order.  It always surprises me, and before I read each issue I wonder not if, but how I will be surprised.  Every time I think I might creep away and choose a new Millarworld favorite to love, The Magic Order drags me back.

I mentioned in my review of the final issue of Millar's superhero miniseries, The Ambassadors, that he is really good at writing penultimate issues.  I referenced The Magic Order series as being great examples of what Millar can do with penultimate (second-to-last) and last issues.  The Magic Order 4 #5 perfectly encapsulates how well Millar sets up the penultimate issues of The Magic Order.  It's the end of the world and more, if our heroes can't save the day, and it feels like it.  I don't have any idea how the sixth issue will conclude this arc, but I'm sure it will be heart-stopping.

Artist Dike Ruan has turned in some of his best work here.  He creates the visual and graphical landscape of reality in the throes of madness as it approaches oblivion, and Giovanna Niro's colors lights it all on fire so that this issue resembles a view of a Hellscape.

So batten down the hatches, it's rough sailing to the end of this great big fuck-apocalypse of a miniseries.  If you want to really be here for the ending, dear readers, catch up on The Magic Order 4.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Mark Millar and of The Magic Order will want to read The Magic Order 4.

A+
