John Kreese famously stated in the Karate Kid “mercy is for the weak”. Some may argue that there is some truth to that statement. However, Image Comics Mercy #4 highlights that it is also from the strong. Whether Lady Hellaine has the restraint to display this human characteristic is in doubt at issues end. I… Continue reading Mercy # 4 (REVIEW)

Red Mother #6 (REVIEW)
One of my first reviews for The Geeks World Wide was for Red Mother issue 3. At the time I mistakenly compared this comic book to a movie.

Transformers Rise of the Decepticons #19 (REVIEW)
Politics. I find it amazing that mixed into the lore of Transformers race and their lives on Cybertron, one of the core elements of their tales is politics. Of course there is the dying planet and limited resources thing. Those eventually get dealt with politically. Which slowly, subtly leads to acts of aggression, of war.… Continue reading Transformers Rise of the Decepticons #19 (REVIEW)
