Yes, I was greatly disappointed by a certain development in the previous issue, which colored my ability to enjoy it. But I loved the 7 issues before that, so I wasn’t quite ready to give up on this title yet.
As we learned last issue, Malcolm and Angel managed to take out most of the Vicious Circle goons…

Yes, I’m 5 days late on this, sorry. Anyway, as per the last issue, Malcolm had fallen underground where there lives a subterranean race of beings called Demonoids, which are kinda hard to describe. So here’s a non-spoilery (since there’s no dialog) look at the opening…

And here we have the latest issue of my favorite Black (okay, half-Black, but that’s good enough for me) teenage superhero (okay, he’s not technically a “superhero”, either…), Malcolm Dragon.
Dang, I don’t know what it is about Erik Larsen but he sure loves…

Just read this latest issue and, dang, Erik Larsen sure seems to like putting my new favorite teenage (half-)Black superhero, Malcolm Dragon, through the ringer. In these three issues since Malcolm officially became the lead character, the poor kid barely has had time to breathe without something going…

This is a pretty action-packed issue, which fits the new status quo of Malcolm Dragon’s life. He’s trying his best to support himself (by working “off the books” for the police, catching super freaks) and go to school, but he can barely catch his breath without trouble following him. The story starts with what’s…

I’m just going to get right to it. This issue is just more of the same as the first two issues (I’m including Dutch #0). Dutch fighting a bunch of cyborgs while his internal monologue is being shown to us in captions as he keeps talking about getting old and thinking his days of fighting were behind…

PREVIOUSLY: Youngblood Strikefile #4
This issue brings the series back to its original premise of featuring two short stories of different Youngblood characters. However, it no longer formats the issues as a flipbook with two different covers, which is a shame because I always enjoyed that little gimmick.
First up is a 12-page story written by Eric Stephenson and drawn by Sam Liu. It’s…

Youngblood Strikefile #1
Youngblood Strike file was a series that that Image Comics began publishing in 1993, it was launched by Rob Liefeld’s Extreme Studios, and was an anthology series, with each issue presenting 2 new solo stories starring members of Youngblood. One thing I liked about the first issue of the original Youngblood series is that it was a flip book. One-half of the issue featured a story with the…

As I’m writing this, I just got my copy of Ultimate Black Panther #1, and I know even less about this title than I knew of Ultimate Spider-Man before I read that first issue. I have zero idea what this is supposed to be about or what will set this version of T’Challa (presuming it is T’Challa) apart from the…

Artist: Cedric Nocon

This issue takes place an hour after the end of the previous issue. That’s how long it took Sentinel, Riptide, Cougar, and Masada to make it back to the Pentagon from Africa. They’re quickly filled in by Keever about what’s going on. Psi-Fire, in his new female body, has gone nuts and is levitating around randomly…

This issue has two main stories. One is that Cougar has traveled back to his homeland, a hidden city of cat-people deep in the jungles of Africa. He’s there with Sentinal, Riptide, and Masada, but then tells them that they can’t come inside with him because it’s forbidden and he has to face it alone.
So…why did he…
