Christmas is just around the corner, but before then, I have part two of my Five Comics rewind for this year. THE THEME: This is part two of the 2022 Rewind, where I read five comics each corresponding to a theme I previously did earlier in the year. Like I said before, I won't be representing all the 2022 themes, so I hope my assorted selection is interesting to you. THE COMICS: HELLBOY: THE SILVER LANTERN CLUB #1 Publisher: Dark Horse Writers: Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson Artists: Ben Stenbeck, Christopher Mitten This takes place early into Hellboy's career, as Professor Bruttenholm is still around. Here, they visit the professor's uncle Simon, who was part of the Silver Lantern Club, a predecessor to the BPRD that looked into supernatural/occult goings-on (and featured Sir Edward Grey, the Witchfinder). Simon is more than happy to reminisce and tells the two of a story about a demon possessing an old-fashioned communication device. [THEME: Circles of Hell] - free to read via this IGN article OCCUPY AVENGERS #1 Publisher: Marvel Writer: David F. Walker Artists: Carlos Pacheco, Rafael Fonteriz Still living with the burden of killing Bruce Banner (who, for the record, asked him to do it), Clint Barton is out on his own traveling across the states, helping people along the way. His first stop has him help an impoverished Native American reservation affected by assholes contaminating their water supply. [THEME: Stars of Phase Four] WITCHBLADE #1 Publisher: Image (Top Cow) Writers: David Wohl, Brian Haberlin, Christina Z., Michael Turner Artists: Michael Turner, D-Tron Sara Pezzini, a homicide detective, has her life change forever when she investigates a shady gathering organized by an extremely rich asshole. Said rich guy apparently possesses the titular Witchblade, a powerful gauntlet that grants immense power... if it accepts the wielder. He's looking to find someone to wield the gauntlet and manipulate them (since he can't use it himself), but it ends up choosing Pezzini. Interesting (if standard) start to a superhero series. [THEME: Leading Ladies (Image Comics Edition)] LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS: THE GREAT MYX-UP (FCBD 2022) Publisher: DC Comics Writer: Heath Corson Artist: Bobby Timony Here's an all-ages adventure featuring the Justice League's animal pals (some of whom I'm pretty sure are made up for this story). This preview shows each character (from the iconic Krypto and more) working with their respective hero and sets up an adventure where they all work together. Big fan of The Flash's turtle sidekick who also runs fast. [THEME: Just Kidding! Vol. 2] BLACK PANTHER: THE SOUND AND THE FURY Publisher: Marvel Writer: Ralph Macchio (no, not the guy in the original Karate Kid) Artist: Andrea di Vito This is a standard superhero comic where T'Challa takes on his old nemesis Klaw to stop him from destroying the city of Dubai. Features three villains (serving as Klaw's henchmen) that I haven't seen before, so that's interesting. [THEME: Black History Month 2022 Edition] I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Next week: the finale. PANEL OF THE WEEK: - end -
