Creature from the Black Lagoon Lives! #2 review

Journalist Kate Marsden wakes up to an autopsy being performed. She questions the medical examiner if he really believes a creature is responsible or not. Later, the cartel comes face to face with the Creature and opens fire but he cuts through them with ease. That night a blood soaked Creature observes Kate from afar before returning to the water.

I enjoyed this issue far more than the first. The creature looks great but some of the people look a little too cartoony. It doesn't quite mesh well with the tone of the story. However, the final pages with the Creature standing in a tree under moonlight look great. This is kind of a mixed bag but I am curious to see how it plays out. I suspect the Creature will end up taking Kate to his lair much like the original film.

six out of ten.

Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane The Original Marvel Years review

Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane the dour English Puritan Swashbuckler gets a complete collection of his classic Marvel adventures. Sadly no Dark Horse Comics Guy Davis monster creations inside at all. You get All the pin-ups, adverts, text pieces + All the Kane stories from The Sword of Solomon Kane limited series, Savage Sword of Conan, Conan Saga, Kull and the Barbarians, Marvel Premiere, Marvel Preview, Monsters Unleashed and Dracula Lives. My favourite stories are: A Marvel Team-Up featuring the ectomorph: Kane in his twilight years and the mesomorph: Conan the Barbarian in his prime (The Moon of Skulls II: Death's Dark Riders by Roy Thomas and Colin MacNeil). Kane versus a ghost that kills (Skulls in the Stars by Ralph Reese). Kane versus a Lovecraftian cloud of blood (The Footfalls Within by Don Glut, Will Meugniot and Steve Gan). Kane versus the bat-people (Wings in the Night by Don Glut and David Wenzel). Kane versus vampires/zombies/the walking dead men (The Hills of t
