It’s time for another round of comic book reviews. There were a lot of major releases this week to talk about. With that in mind this week we’ll be covering Hammerfist #2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #4, Poison Ivy #48, Sorcerer Supreme #10, White Sky #6, and Zatanna #6. Find out how these comic books turned out with the latest comic book reviews round-up below.
HAMMERFIST #2
CREATIVE TEAM
Writer: Rick Remender
Artist: Steve Epting
Colorist: Matt Hollingsworth
Letterer: Rus Wooton
Hammerfist #2 keeps the intensity high with Mike having to flee to survive from the way things went south in the debut issue. Through the chase sequence Rick Remender is able balance out remind the reader Mike isn’t a good guy but is the protagonist in a world that is much worse. It will take a person like Mike to overcome the cult story that he has found himself in the middle of. The entire chase sequence and what happens around it emphasizes that. It certainly helps that Steve Epting artwork nails the thrills had with the chase scene and the dark moments that take place throughout this issue.

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #4
CREATIVE TEAM
Writer: Marguerite Bennett
Artist: Phillip Sevy
Colorist: Joshua Jensen
Letterer: Ed Dukeshire
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #4 continues the series struggle with trying to find its identity. It is a struggle the adult version of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers seem to be going with. Unfortunately, the dialogue is too awkward for its own good, leading the cast to lack the chemistry you expect to be the strength of the series. At the same time, this issue once again highlights the best aspect of the series is with Rita Rabiosa being a compelling villain, especially with how she is messing with each of the Rangers. That along with a long awaited return that takes place at the end of this issue is enough of a hook to see where things are going.

POISON IVY #48
CREATIVE TEAM
Writer: G. Willow Wilson
Artist: Marcio Takara
Colorist: Arif Prianto
Letterer: Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou
Poison Ivy #48 is a much needed focus on Poison Ivy in the Bad Seeds crossover event. It has been noticeable that Poison Ivy has been missing from the Batman issues and other tie-ins to Bad Seeds. And in terms of focusing on Poison Ivy, G. Willow Wilson does a good job at showing her understanding of the character and what her motivation is to be one of the reasons the Bad Seeds crossover is going on. Unfortunately, by focusing almost exclusively on Poison Ivy, save a few pages with Huntress in a guest star appearance, this series feels isolated from the rest of the crossover. Due to this, Poison Ivy #48 does not feel as important as other comics in the Bad Seeds crossover that involve more than just one or two characters.
Overall Rating: 5 Night Girls out of 10
SORCERER SUPREME #10
CREATIVE TEAM
Writer: Steve Orlando
Artist: Bernard Chang
Colorist: Ruth Redmond
Letterer: Joe Sabino
Sorcerer Supreme #10 is an appropriately epic ending to the Extinction King storyline and this series. Steve Orlando and Bernard Chang made sure that they went out with a story that emphasized why Scarlet Witch is the Sorcerer Supreme. The way she utilizes her magical powers to defeat the Extinction King was purely impressive. Chang does an excellent job creating as much impressive artwork as possible that showcases Scarlet Witch’s immense powers. At the same time Orlando’s writing further emphasizes Wanda Maximoff’s growth and why she is the right person to be the Sorcerer Supreme. An amazing end to an epic series and run by Orlando on Scarlet Witch that all Marvel fans should read.
Overall Rating: 9.5 Night Girls out of 10
WHITE SKY #6
CREATIVE TEAM
Writer: William Harms
Artist: JP Mavinga
Colorist: Lee Loughridge
Letterer: Ed Dukeshire
White Sky #6 brings the first book of the series to a close. There is much of this issue that does not necessarily feel like a close to a story arc but rather than a transition to what comes next for the series. This is not a bad thing at all because Violet and David continue to find themselves on very different paths that all, hopefully, lead to the same place, a reunion of father-daughter. Through this we get much more world building as Violet’s path gets more into the supernatural side of the world while David shows us the state of the scavenger camp he is in. It all helps to further build the readers’ investment in White Sky.

ZATANNA #6
CREATIVE TEAM
Writer and Artist: Jamal Campbell
Colorist: Andrew Dalhouse
Letterer: Ariana Maher
Zatanna #6 is an action packed that pumps all the magic you want from this series. Jamal Campbell continues to do a great job balancing the spectacle that is a battle between magicians and making sure the story is still character focused. Everything Zatanna does further highlights why she is the best magician in the DC Universe. It also helps to show how seriously she taking her role as Prime Magus and making sure others are taking care of.
