Storyline: Deflowered!
Date: July 16, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: J.T. Krul
Artist: Guillem March

Synopsis: A cast of top creators lends their talents to THE JOKER’S ASYLUM - a special month-long, weekly series of one-shots starring the greatest villains in Batman’s rogues gallery.

Each issue tells a special stand-alone story that gives readers an inside look into the insane lives of the Dark Knight’s greatest adversaries. And all the stories are narrated by the Asylum’s leading homicidal maniac - The Joker!

Opinion: For a mini-series that started off weak with a Joker-centric issue, it really has redeemed itself and become an entertaining run of comics. The Penguin and Two-Face one-shots were both pretty good; the only one I haven’t read yet is the Scarecrow issue (the last one). Granted, they all have their flaws (especially the Joker one), but they’re still fun and a good way to get introduced to some classic Batman villains.

And this Poison Ivy comic is no different.

Storyline: Changing Currents
Date: May 28, 2008
Price: $2.50 US
Writer: J.T. Krul
Artist: Ale Garza

Synopsis: Michael Turner’s Fathom makes its triumphant return for the thrilling third volume! The deadly tides of change rise above the surface in the exciting third chapter of the best selling action adventure series, Fathom! Humankind faces a new threat to their existence from the ancient and powerful underwater race, the Black, while the return of the villainous Killian sends shockwaves throughout the already-devastated world of the Blue. Meanwhile, Aspen Matthews attempts to adjust to life above the water, but a future - and past - threat emerges to disrupt her safe haven! Featuring an all-new 12-page story that sets the stage for the brand-new Fathom #1 issue coming this summer, make sure to get in on the ground floor of the next exciting Fathom story arc!

Opinion: This is my first time getting into the series of Fathom so to all you existing fans I apologize in advance. This story is lame!! If I wanted to spend some time with Ariel I would watch the Disney movie! Don’t you know that mermaids are for girls under the age of 8?!

I know it’s just the prologue to get new people interested in the story line but give me a break! $2.50 for 12 pages of story! That’s a little ridiculous! The story is trying to give a little background, I can understand that but honestly save me my money and say, “same as ‘The Little Mermaid.”
