#IReadsYou Review: GREEN ARROW #6

[This review of "Green Arrow #6" is one of the early comic book review that I ever wrote for my “Negromancer” blog (which began as a website) way back in the Summer of 2001.  For a few years, I wrote my comic book reviews under the column title, "Why I Love Saturn," which I took from Kyle Baker's 1990 graphic novel, "Why I Hate Saturn."

Recently, I was able to recover my files from two 2000s-era hard drives.  Beginning with this review, I am going to go back and re-edit all my original “Negromancer” comic book reviews and post these updated versions on here, my “I Reads You” blog.  I hope you enjoy the trip back in time.]

GREEN ARROW #6 (2001)
DC COMICs

"Why I Love Saturn" Episode Seven

PENCILS: Phil Hester

LETTERS: Sean Konot

“Quiver, Chapter 6”: “The Hollow Man

Every time that I think that Kevin Smith and Phil Hester's current Green Arrow comic book series might slip in quality, it remains good, and often gets better.  This is a well-written comic book by a man who knows comic books, their history, their structure, and how to tell a good story.  Hester is a strong storyteller who dazzles with a unique graphical style. Clearly, this is an example of how to create a good, long serial – every chapter counts and every chapter engages. You go, boys!

I’ve only seen one of Smith’s movies, the brilliant and funny Clerks.  [At the time that I wrote this interview, I'd only seen one of Smith's films.]  On the surface, it seemed as if the characters in the movie talked too much.  While some writers can use very few words to convey volumes, some use lots of words to tell the whole damn story.  Smith is one of those writers; he uses every word to paint his mural. He pours forth the verbiage, to inform and illuminate.  If after all that talk, you still can’t get it, dear readers, you’re probably some version of slow.

So what Kevin does best, he does in Green Arrow #6 (“The Hollow Man”).  The Oliver Queen Green Arrow returns to the land of the living some years after his death in an aircraft explosion.  He remembers nothing of the life we saw him live the last 20 years, which was his life in the hands of writer/artist Mike Grell.  Smith weaves a complex, but not complicated, engaging mystery that carries Queen, his cohorts, including Batman, and us along on a whodunit that is the best I have seen in comics in a long time.  Here, the Dark Knight Detective is really a detective, and Queen is a simply a man at odds with the time he is in now.  The character has usually been at odds with the times in which he lives. Reading this fine magazine can give one the idea that Green Arrow has been around for decades waiting for a balladeer worthy of telling his story, and that is the Kevin Smith-Phil Hester team.

Hester, this series' pencil artist, is a capable draftsman. He seems to understand Smith and lays out panels that interprets the script and turns it into riveting storytelling.  Scriptwriter and artist work so well together that they almost seem to be one really good comics creating unit.

Smith undoubtedly is a man that could help revitalize comics if he did more work. His clear, straightforward stories, unadorned by intellectual pretensions, could entertain and enthrall comic book novice readers and aficionados alike.  However, we must respect his wishes to produce movies.  My greedy ass will content myself with what I can get, while hungering for much, much more.

#IReadsYou Review: AKIRA VOLUME 1

AKIRA, VOL. 1
KODANSHA COMICS

TRANSLATION & ADAPTATION: Yoko Umezawa; Linda M. York; Jo Duffy
ISBN: 978-1-935-42900-5; paperback (October 13, 2009)
368pp, B&W with some color, $24.99 U.S., $29.99 CAN

Rating “OT Ages 16+”

First published in Japan in Young Magazine (December 1982 to June 1990), the manga Akira, created by Katsuhiro Otomo, is not unfamiliar to American audiences.  Many are probably familiar with the animated film adaptation of Akira, co-written and directed by Otomo.  After a short theatrical release beginning in 1988, the Akira anime has been available on VHS, DVD, and later Blu-ray.

Marvel Comics, under its Epic Comics imprint, first published the Akira manga in English as a 38-issue, full-color comic book series, and later reprinted those issues in 10 trade paperbacks and also in six hardback volumes.  Dark Horse Comics would later publish a new translation of Akira in six volumes (2000-2002), similar to the Japanese six-volume tankoubon (book collection of manga) series.

Kodansha Comics, the American subsidiary of Japanese publisher, Kodansha, the original Japanese publisher of Akira, is bringing the series back to North American readers.  Akira, Vol. 1 once again welcomes readers to Neo-Tokyo, the new city built upon the ashes of Tokyo, which was destroyed by the massive blast that would start World War III.

Akira Volume 1 opens 38 years after the blast (2030 A.D.).  The lives of two juvenile delinquents, friends Shotaro Kaneda and Tetsuo Shima, are about to change forever when paranormal abilities begin to awaken in Tetsuo following a motorcycle accident.  After a shadowy agency snatches Tetsuo, Kaneda is plunged into a shadowy world of terrorists and soldiers, and the young leader of a motorcycle gang is forced to go on the run from the law.  Kaneda meets a young terrorist resistance fighter named Kei, and he becomes the target of The Colonel, the head of a secret organization conducting research on psychic test subjects.  Kaneda’s fiercest battle may be his face off with Tetsuo and his monstrous new powers.

THE LOWDOWN:  Akira was not only one of the most important manga of the 1980s; it was also one of the most surprising comic books of that decade.  Although American readers had already been exposed to visionary science fiction comics in the form of Howard Chaykin’s American Flagg!, Akira was something so much larger, both in terms of the story and visuals.  Akira was a lengthy serial narrative, and the structure of the story line not only supported a large cast of characters and numerous sub-plots (which American Flagg! had), but also extended action sequences.

Katsuhiro Otomo was able to take battle, chase, and fight scenes and extend them over several pages and even shift the scenes in which they take place from one setting or environment to another.  For instance, there is a chase of Kaneda by The Colonel’s forces that begins on an above ground staging area and moves into a series of tunnels; then a cavernous area, before going back above ground.  This all takes place over nearly 30 pages.  Although manga is told through a series of connected static (or still) images, Akira’s decompressed, graphical storytelling mimics the sense of movement of film or animation.  Readers may also experience the heightened sense of emotions and excited feelings that film can evoke.

Akira’s art also suggests the intense emotions, sensations, and passions of the characters.  These can pass onto the reader, which makes reading Akira feel like a wild ride – the kind of ride advertisements for action movies promise audiences.  Welcome back, Akira.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Akira and of great manga will want to find Kodansha's 2009-2011, six-volume paperback editions of Akira

A+

#IReadsYou Review: NIGHT CLUB II #1

NIGHT CLUB II #1 (OF 6)

LETTERS: Clem Robins
COVER: Juanan Ramírez with Fabiana Mascolo
EDITORIAL: Sarah Unwin
VARIANT COVER ARTIST: Jae Lee with June Chung
32pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (August 2024)

Rated M / Mature

Night Club created by Mark Millar at Netflix

Night Club II is a new six-issue miniseries written and created by Mark Millar and drawn by Juanan Ramírez.  A Dark Horse Comics publication and a Netflix production, Night Club II is a sequel to the 2023 miniseries, Night Club.  Both series focus on a teen boy who is bitten by a vampire and decides to make the best of his new condition.  Colorist Fabiana Mascolo and letterer Clem Robins complete Night Club II's creative team.

Night Club introduces 17-year-old Danny Garcia, who had ambitions to gain fame and fortune as a YouTube star.  After being turned into a vampire, he passed his new found powers unto his friends, DJ Sam Huxley and Amy Chen.  Now, they're the superheroes:  Starguard (Danny), Thundercloud (Sam), Yellowbird (Amy).  But jealousy has broken up this vampire-superhero trio...

Night Club II #1 opens with Danny and Amy, now a couple, still playing superheroes and filming it for their lucrative YouTube page.  They are actively attacking the drug empire of Rufus Tee, much to the chagrin of the police.  Meanwhile, former “band mate,” Sam is using his vampire powers to ball hard, and now, he's gotten an attractive offer from a man who should be his enemy.

THE LOWDOWN:  This is the second time that I have been on any kind of list that provides PDF copies of titles published by Dark Horse Comics.  The latest received is Night Club II #1.

Reading this first issue of Night Club II, I suddenly remembered how much I really liked the first series and how much I really missed it.  I'd love for Night Club to be an ongoing series, but I know that Millarworld doesn't really work that way.  Night Club will have a beginning, middle, and end, but I feel like, as far as a vampire-superhero hybrid goes, it could be like DC Comics' Teen Titans.

Instead of offering big surprises in this return, writer Mark Millar and artist Juanan Ramírez build on the narrative that began in Night Club #1 and came to a head in Night Club #6.  Millar provides the character drama, and Ramirez spreads it out in big panels and in widescreen storytelling.  I think this means that there will be a lot of force applied by various interested parties to other interested parties in this second installment, and I think we'll like it, dear readers.

If you have ever seen the 1987 vampire film, The Lost Boys, you might have wondered what it would be like if the vampire boys got to play to their own interests.  Maybe, Night Club II is that story.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Mark Millar and of vampire comic books will want to be bitten by Night Club II.
