THE EXPANSE: ORIGINS #1

The Expanse: Origins #1 is a prequel. Yes, I am aware of the sentiment that comes with uttering that word. Prequel. Ugh. It does make one feel like they’re watching Anakin talk about sand, or pod-racing. Though there is a difference between a “bad” prequel and a “good” one; I would categorize The Expanse: Origins as one of the good.

Origins is a series of four issues focusing on the four major characters of The Expanse series of novels. This first issue focuses on the backstory of the captain of The Rocinante, James Holden, and his time as a lieutenant in the United Nations Navy.

Having only cursory knowledge of the characters, the books, and the show, I read The Expanse: Origins #1 as a primer, to see if the characters would be intriguing enough for me to revisit the books and to finish them with this new interest. Issue 1 portrays a man who is not right for the military, yet he is there by choice. There is an event that unfolds which shows Holden is in the right, but the restrictions and restraints of command are not for him.

Yes, Holden eventually becomes a Captain. Yes, he involves himself in a major conflict. Of this, I am aware, but how does this short backstory come into play with his future self? Do the events that occur in Origins predict the character and actions to come? 

Beginning with The Expanse: Origins provides a unique opportunity for those of us who are not fully involved with The Expanse novels -- we can read from the absolute beginning. For those who have finished the latest book, Origins is more -- more content, more backstory, more connection to the characters.

Will I be returning to the novels? Yes. Will I be read the remaining Origins stories? Of course. Will I continue to wish that we were 200 years into the future commanding a spaceship? Damn right. 

Dane Cypel really wishes he can command a spaceship. If it was named Enterprise, that would be even better.

THE RIFT #1 by Don Handfield, Richard Piers Rayner, and Leno Carvalho

The Rift #1 is the new Red5 property presented by Hawkeye or, as we also know him, Jeremy Renner. While I do not know what “presented by” means in this case, there is no other title with an Academy Award nominee attached to it, so it must be interesting. Luckily, it is.

We open on a mundane, middle-America setting: Kansas, present day, mother and son riding in a car going to… somewhere not important. When all of a sudden, CRASH! BOOM! WHIZ! Something on fire falls out of the sky and crashes before them! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? No, it’s a plane. To be exact it is a vintage P-40 Warhawk, right out of 1936.

Like many first issues, The Rift #1 is a quick foray into a new world with a mysterious question that needs to be answered. In this case, how did a World War II fighter pilot flying in Southeast Asia transport to modern day Kansas? Of course, our mother/son duo are stuck in the middle of this conflict while a secret government agency tracks down the strange time-traveler in order to avert a world-ending crisis.

If you are looking for answers, you will not find any in this issue. Instead you will find a story that raises many more questions. I would like to know why the government always has to be so secretive about these odd phenomena when they pose such a deep threat.

Here’s to hoping that The Rift continues to be intriguing and different from the norm.

Dane Cypel feels like a time traveler sometimes, especially after sleeping for 10 stright hours.

DOCTOR APHRA #1 by Kieron Gillen and Kev Walker

I am usually not fond of expanded universes. More often than not, the expanded universe goes off the rails. Concepts, philosophies, and ideals that are presented in the source material often fall to the wayside as less developed elements come into play. Doctor Aphra #1 appears to be on a different course.

Coming off the heels of the Vader series, Doctor Aphra #1 follows the eponymous character into her life and her specific world. Aphra is not a hero, in fact she is cold-blooded and ruthless. I like villains, so this was welcome. So much of the story felt familiar; the call-backs, the set-up, even the team. It all feels and reads like archetypal Star Wars. This familiarity will certainly speak to fans. 

What this series does especially well is to provide a different perspective. Much like the upcoming film, Rogue One, Doctor Aphra #1 shows a different character in a different place. It is fun to see someone who is more self-serving/Imperial-aligned than the usual scoundrel-with-a-heart. The Rebellion has been done SO much, we know the names of the characters who take out the trash on the light Rebellion cruiser that was in some of the background shots in Return of the Jedi. Yeah, the Empire are the bad guys, but delve into that more. Give us a new take in this rebooted universe.

Doctor Aphra #1 is doing that- so here is to hoping it continues on that journey.

Dane Cypel would much rather be in Starfleet than the Imperial Navy, but we all know being on any kind of spaceship would be worth it.

YAKUZA DEMON KILLERS #1 by Amit Chauhan and Eli Powell

Yakuza Demon Killers #1 was not on my radar, at all, but a suggestion from a coworker proved intriguing. The title in itself sounds odd – Yakuza Demon Killers? Are the Yakuza secretly hunters of demons? Is the main character somehow a part of this criminal group? In all honesty, the title makes the book seem TOO over the top, TOO goofy, TOO cliché, but my gut reaction could not have been more wrong.  

Yakuza begins with a heist. The two characters planning it, of course, are painted as woefully inept. On the third page, Ochita vomits from an overdose and passes out in said spewed pool of stomach fluid. Yum. She is accompanied by Rizzo, an American transplant who has a penchant for motorcycles and man-buns. The two are a criminal pair with history and this time around they have found their new big score. The big score is an ancient and magical katana, so I suppose cliché was somewhat accurate, but it does not necessarily detract from the story.

The most compelling part of this first issue is the art. Powell’s line work and Russell’s colors create a unique and stylized world. In particular, this style feels familiar and similar to Sean Murphy’s work on Tokyo Ghost and Chrononauts. Having loved the art of Chrononauts, the art in Yakuza made it more accessible and familiar.  There are some aspects, like the demonic realm, that could have been more developed and perhaps more colorful, but the gist is received- they are demons, they are evil and gross. It is heavy on the shadows and spot-blacks but it works, it makes everything moody and dark- considering the subject of the material, it makes complete sense.

Yakuza Demon Killers #1- very little yakuza, lots of demons, and vomit. All around a worthy read.

Dane Cypel is not a demon killer or a yakuza. He is a member of Starfleet though, so at least it’s something.

A comiXologist recommends... Head Lopper Vol. 1

Written by Andrew MacLean, art by Andrew MacLean and Mike Spicer

“That book is weird. Good, but weird.”

When I first said I was going to cover Head Lopper Vol. 1, that was the reply I got, and it happened to be incredibly accurate. At first glance, the art is striking, but off-putting. It looks too-simple. Too animated. Too Adventure Time-y, though its extremely stylized nature is intriguing and eye catching. Since issue #1 it had been on my watch-list, but I had not read it. I was ultimately confused; could a dark fantasy story float with this cartoony look?  

 To answer this question, it took a decapitation, an evisceration, a call to action, and a seemingly nuanced plot, all within the first issue, to convince me that yes, this story can float. On the surface, the character of Head Lopper, or Norgal, presents himself as the noble, yet savage, Viking akin to the various heroic figures from the Prose Edda. To counter this archetypal hero, is Agatha the Blue Witch, a severed head whom Norgal carries. The two form a relationship like that of R2-D2 and C-3PO, or Batman and the Joker, if they ever teamed-up as a pair.

Agatha happens to be the best part of the story. Despite being without a body, she has a wit and charm that brings the reader in more. Norgal is cool, yes, but we have seen his type before; Agatha, becomes so much more and is integral to the story, to the world, and to the ultimate plans of the evil antagonist.

Head Lopper Vol. 1 is a whimsical read. The story is not deep, but the art keeps it entertaining. The character designs, the world, the little bits of scenery that help tell the story kept me in.

Yeah, we have seen this story before, but this time around it is a little different, a little amusing, and a lot of weird.

Dane Cypel is trying to play into his Viking heritage and grow a beard similar to Norgal, though it is nowhere as impressive. For now…

Aliens: Life and Death #1

Written by Dan Abnett, Art by Moritat

Aliens: Life and Death #1 feels familiar and fun. Of all of the Alien movies, spin-offs and games, Aliens remains my favorite. Ripley grows as a character and becomes more complex. Plus, the Colonial Marines are cool, the hordes of aliens are terrifying, and all of these come together to expand upon the original film. After Aliens, well, we won’t talk about that.

Life and Death #1, is worth mentioning; outside of a comic specifically focused on Ripley, this is the next best thing.

Right away, you are thrown into the action. Action is something that the author Dan Abnett knows from his various Warhammer 40K titles, so the Alien franchise appears to be an intelligent fit. The characters are introduced through adversity, where the reader gets the sense of who they are by how said character reacts. While this is good for the short term, it leaves the reader wanting more: What happened before? What is the background of the characters? How did they get there? Why are they there? Who are they? Perhaps this will be addressed in issue #2. I hope it is.  

Many of the books I recommend are ones where I say, it starts off with many questions that are unanswered. Aliens: Life and Death #1 certainly fits into that category. I believe that it is also the nature of serialized storytelling -- in order to entice the reader to continue buying a book, it must leave the reader yearning for more. Life and Death does that, though I may be interested because I like the franchise and the subject matter.

This issue starts off well, but I need to know more, especially with the characters, so hopefully #2 will deliver.

Dane Cypel is not a Coloinal Marine and has never been to LV-426, which is a shame but also a good thing.

Ricky & Morty #10

In an attempt to really delve into this book and offer a proper perspective, this review will be guest written by Rick Sanchez. Please excuse the belching. - Dane Cypel, comiXologist

Be warned.

Look, you, you comic fan. The tales of me and my, no thanks to Jerry, best grand-chi - UrrrrUrrp – son are sacred. We go on these – adventures, though the universe! Yes, we take – risks! Unnecessary – dangers! And these written comics – are, are our gospel!

So, this tale may have gone – UrrrrrrUrp – off the rails. Granted, that was none of MY doing. Blame me for portaling to a world where there’s an, an evil Morty who has enslaved the world. Not. My. – UrrrUUUrrp - Problem.

You could saaaay that being trapped in this dimension, without the juice to portal home was on me. You could – UrruP – saaaay that I am responsible for the safety of my grandson. But, but come on, Morty was more than able to, to – UrrrrUurrrp – save the day. That, young whippersnapper really pulled through and, and brought home the bacon, saved our – rears, and… whatever.

But these – UrrrrUUrrrp – guys, who decided to make a comic about, us. Do, do they know us? Well, no. But this was pretty on point. I mean, - Urrrp – I forgot about this happening. Had a little tooo much fun with Bird Person at Blips and Chitz. – Urrrurp – But no, really, this guy, Zac … Gorman has my voice down. Dawg. He, he was able to, you know, keep me PG – family friendly. And – Urrrrp – Cannon, did get my wonderful, chiseled physique in all it’s supergenius-glory.

For a, romp through space time, they sure did manage to – UrrrUrp – channel, us, well. Like, you were reading something, from some kind of, television show, or something…

Here’s to twenty more issues! Wubba lubba dub-dub!

Rick out.

Dane Cypel is also on the run from the Galactic Federation though residing in dimension C-3889 allows him to dodge those pesky patrols. He has yet to meet Squanchy.

A comiXologist recommends: Iron Squad #1: Red Commando 1/2

by: Dane Cypel

When I was in school for my Masters, we would often speak about French comics –about how beautiful they were even though we could not read them. Myself, and my fellow candidates did not speak French, so in many instances the books were purchased simply for the pictures. It was the art that kept us interested and we did our best to discern a storyline and flesh out characters with what we could understand.

Delcourt’s English-translated releases have, thankfully, fixed this type of fill-in-the-blank storytelling that I have had to experience with French books. With this release, there is one particular book - Iron Squad #1, that has caught my eye.

I was not familiar, at all, with Iron Squad before reading it for this review. It was between this and Curse of the Wendigo, both having to do with a World War and some type of fantastical element. As much as I love tales of the Great War, the allure of Nazi super-weapons, Soviet armored infantry and 1st Lieutenant Tania Yakvolev, comrade pilot of the First Female Fighter Wing, had my attention.

Iron Squad #1 is an alternate history story, where Nazi scientists have cracked the secret to making large walking mechanized vehicles. There was one particular scene where a Nazi general meets with his Imperial Japanese counterpart to present the Empire with their own “Iron Squad,” or in the vernacular - “mekapanzers”. While this is in no way historical, there is a wonderful blend of Gundam-meets-Wolfenstein.  

What is perhaps the most interesting point of this story is that there is no American protagonist, at all. It is a commonplace for World War stories to contain that obligatory American character, but this shift allows for a completely different perspective. Instead, the focus is on the Soviet side of this war. There is, of course, a French instructor who happens to have a mechanical arm, but he is only in a few panels. I was still able to relate to the characters and find interest in what they were doing – something which most French produced comics are able to achieve with solid storytelling and well-made art.

In the past, there was this inherent barrier that kept readers like me away from French books. I wanted to read them, to put words to the pictures, and now that wish has been answered. These books are beautiful, they are compelling, and they offer a unique approach often overlooked by us English-speakers to the comic medium.

A comiXologist recommends: The Witcher Vol. 1

by: Dane Cypel

Dark Horse has come to comiXology and with it, their spectacular library. While some are excited for Hellboy, Buffy or Conan I was anxious to read The Witcher: Vol. 1 House of Glass.

The Witcher, known here in the states for its blockbuster video games, is a series of books, films, and comics featuring Geralt of Rivia. Geralt is not your typical hero, he hunts monsters, but in a different way.  His heroics are for hire - a town has a ghoul problem? Geralt will fix it, if they pay. If not, they can take care of it themselves.

It was this aspect of the character that really drew me to the novels and keeps me interested in the comic. He feels more human, he has flaws, he has vices and he is, sometimes, morally ambiguous. In a fantasy setting, Geralt is a breath of fresh air. The world of The Witcher is dark and grim. The inhabitants are continuously threatened by danger and death. These stresses are something the eponymous Witcher, Geralt, has to contend with on a daily basis and it shows.  He is not a holy crusader, or smarmy heart-of-gold swashbuckler: he’s something else.

For those who are familiar with the games, or the novels, The Witcher: House of Glass is a separate, closed story. Though it is similar to how the novels are written, Volume One is an excellent romp through this unique world. There are, of course, strange monsters, creative liars, succubi, and an excessive use of magic. I was slightly disappointed that the elven terrorist group known as The Squirrels, or the amusing bard Dandelion, did not make any appearances.  And while it is a shame that they didn’t appear, it does not detract from an overall interesting and amusing story.

For those who know The Witcher franchise, read this story. For those who are not familiar, read it.  If you like fantasy, read it. If you like good stories, read it and keep reading. The Witcher is a departure from the fantasy norm, the tropes of old do not apply and it creates something so different, so new, that you will crave more.

I read the entire book in thirty minutes, and then went back to read again. Now I’m anxious for volume two.

A comiXologist recommends: Ghost Busters: Get Real #1

by: Dane Cypel

The Real Ghostbusters always seemed out of place- did they really expect me to believe that Egon was blonde, Slimer was good, and the containment unit was big and orange? Even as a child, I was distracted by these changes. Granted, I still watched every episode of the cartoon, and even now I sometimes return to watch a couple- Stay Puft is a great hero- but the cartoon and the films never really meshed.

And then I became aware of Ghostbusters: Get Real #1. Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening do the unthinkable and unite these two universes. Never mind that the first episode of the cartoon takes place immediately after defeating Gozer, or that Ghostbusters II’s only influence on the show was adding Louis Tully; Get Real is something else entirely.

Being the first issue of this arc, things are relatively slow. It begins within the world of the cartoon, which is captured in its mock-1980’s style animated appearance. At first it seemed a bit off, since it was unlike the style of the previous Ghostbusters books, but this homage works well. It went right for those feelings of nostalgia by looking like they were pulled right off the TV screen. Schoening, whose art I have been a fan of since he was brought to property, goes above and beyond.

The story, at this point, is still getting off the ground. While this is only issue number one, seeing the cartoon and the film characters interact created an inescapably giddy feeling. The Egons were weary and erudite, the Winstons couldn’t care less and the Rays were best friends. All those years of watching the cartoon and the film, creating those imaginary scenarios of this exact situation, can finally be experienced.

One can only wait and see how awesome this series will be...

A comiXologist recommends: Chrononauts #4

by: Dane Cypel

When Chrononauts #4 was first presented to me, I had very little knowledge of the series or the story.  What I knew was that Mark Millar was the author and that Sean Murphy did a Back to the Future homage cover - that was it. Between these two things, there was nothing else really spectacular or eye catching. So I wrote it off and did not take any notice.

Then I worked on the book, and everything changed.

As I went through page by page, I began to construct a story around what was presented to me. Granted, I came in on issue #4, the final issue of this series so the events were not set-up. Yet I thought: how did the protagonists got into this situation, who was this antagonist they were facing, and why was time so distorted? Then I got to a specific sequence that wrangled me in: one of the protagonists, Corbin, rallies an army.

It begins with a montage through time- Norway, Sparta, France, Rome and China, where Corbin gathers soldiers and weapons to wage a war to set his friend, Danny, free.  Before an amazing double page spread, Murphy illustrates Corbin with an MG-42, flanked by Romans and Spartans, draped in traditional armor and wielding automatic weapons. Perhaps this is the geek in me, but this image is awesome.

After completing this issue, I want to know what caused these events. Why was Danny captured? HOW was he captured? How does time-travel work? And why is there such a goofy looking Tyrannosaurus Rex in the first couple pages? Luckily, this is a four issue series and issue #1 is not far away.  All of these questions can be answered.

If this hasn’t convinced you, just a little bit, to pick up these series and give it a read, I have one final thing to say: a portly Christopher Columbus falls off a boat.

I’m hooked and I want more.

A comiXologist recommends: A-Force #1

by: Dane Cypel

A-Force #1 is the first in an ongoing new Avengers-like series that departs from the Marvel team norm.  Authors Marguerite Bennett and G. Willow Wilson and artist Jorge Molina join forces to fashion a new team in a drastically altered Marvel Universe.  Existing within the new Secret Wars event, A-Force presents a reshaped world, which takes the familiar and attempts a different direction.

The issue picks up in the land of Arcadia. The Baron of this land, She-Hulk, has assembled a team of heroines to maintain order and protect her people. Without reading the surrounding Secret Wars titles, the world that these heroes live within is a world with a different set of rules. Dr. Doom is somehow overlord; Stephen Strange is a sheriff of some type, and there exists a group of planetary police known as the Thors.

On top of this, is the titular A-Force- an all female team of Marvel superheroes comprised of She-Hulk, Medusa, Dazzler, Nico Minoru and the briefly seen, Singularity. It is shown within that the membership of the team is much larger, with Sister Grimm, Ms. America, and Captain Marvel playing large roles.  Heroes, such as Sam Wilson and Namor make brief appearances as well, though it is the A-Force that commands the show.

Writing on the first issue of a series can be a difficult thing to do- it often takes time for a series to hit its stride- not only for the creative team but also for the characters within.  Story is king, and good story comes from good characters. I have to admit that I am not familiar with She-Hulk or Dazzler, but they are characters that can and will shine, especially within these pages and by this creative team. The framework they are placed in allows me to be intrigued as to how they will react: the perfect set-up for a story that can pull in anyone. A-Force #1 is an excellent beginning to a story that is highly recommended.

A comiXologist recommends: Convergence: Crime Syndicate #1

by: Dane Cypel

The Crime Syndicate is more interesting than the Justice League.  This sentiment may draw some criticism, but ever since Morrison and Quitely’s JLA Earth 2, the stories of Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Power Ring and Johnny Quick have always interested me more. Recently they returned in the Forever Evil event, and now they are back once again, but in a different, more Silver Age, form.

Convergence: Crime Syndicate #1 takes the classic team- the one from Justice League of America, Volume 1, Number 29, from 1964.  In more than one instance, this story is a throwback to the character’s original form, which shows more so in the art than the actual story.  It channels the Crime Syndicate seen in Crisis on Infinite Earths - even though they are technically not the same characters from JLA Earth 2, they are just as fun to read.

Convergence, like Marvel’s upcoming Secret Wars, takes characters from different universes and pits them against one and other in epic combat. In Crime Syndicate, the CSA face the Justice League and The Rogue Hunters. The League within is from DC One Million - future variants of the core JLA heroes. The Hunters, on the other hand, are a group similar to the Silver Age Flash’s Rogues Gallery- featuring a female Captain Boomerang, Captain Cold, The Top, Weather Wizard and Mirror Master. I never expected for these three groups to ever share a title, but Convergence allows these types of eccentric mash-ups to occur.

Convergence: Crime Syndicate #1 is a part of a larger whole and it shows. As it stands currently, more needs to be seen though it has my attention. I want to see how Owlman takes on Batman, or if Power Ring will outsmart Aquaman.  On top of that, the Crime Syndicate is an evil Justice League- how is that NOT interesting? Try this out, because, at the very least it will be entertaining.

Archie vs. Predator #1

Archie Versus Predator #1. It reads similar to something like chicken and waffles- they put those two together? Archie and the gang against the Predator is ridiculous. It took Green Beret Arnold to take one down, so how could the Archie group do the same? Was Archie going to don the camouflage paint and outwit the mighty space-hunter?

Alex de Campi (alexdecampi), author of IDW’s Smoke, and Archie regular Fernando Ruiz (fernandoruizeverybody) unite to tell a tale that no one ever thought would be told.  The two bring a unique take on the Archie universe, both de Campi and Ruiz channeling that classic Archie vibe, while introducing a completely new and fresh element. This first issue features several pages of Predator-filled gore drawn in the wholesome Archie style, which was surprising and awesome. I have worked on many Archie titles during my time here and this book was simply refreshing.

When I say refreshing, it is not because of the gore; instead it is the publisher’s willingness to take chances. Unlike other mainstream publishers, who have a strict set of rules for their primary characters, Archie seems to have thrown all caution into the wind- and it works. Before Predator, Archie Comics introduced Afterlife With Archie, placing the Riverdale gang against a zombie epidemic. Again, an outlandish premise transformed into an amazing book, through both story and art. Even though Predator does not have an artist like Francesco Francavilla at the helm, Ruiz’s classic look gives everything a very tongue-in-cheek feel.  

Archie Versus Predator exists to break the mold, create some laughs, and do the impossible. Most of the fun reading this book came from trying to predict who would live or die, and how they would get out of this mess. It is a funny, amusing ride that will make comics history.

Like chicken and waffles, two things that together seem disgusting but are in fact delicious, Archie Versus Predator has a similar synthesis- it is both amazing and absolutely delicious.
