This week, I’ll review issue thirty-five of “Big Bang Adventures” from Big Bang Comics, focusing on Venus, the Goddess of Love and War. When she urgently returns to Olympus, Venus uncovers a dark secret about a long-dormant force—until now! She must confront a dire truth threatening all existence: THE OLD GODS HAVE RISEN! Along with their terrifying power, a mystery emerges: Who are these Old Gods? Why were they hidden from history, and what will happen if one of them returns?
From the start, this story offers a lively experience with old-school energy, thanks to Ray MacKay’s writing, which vividly brings action sequences to life and features strong character development—especially for Venus. His approach draws inspiration from the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby era of “Thor” and the Silver Age of “Wonder Woman,” resulting in a hero respect-worthy and easy to root for. The robust dialogue and exposition add depth, elevating the story’s impact. Ron Williams’s artwork complements this with a crisp, classic style that emphasizes the nostalgic feel MacKay aims for, and it’s a strong belief that fans will want more from this dynamic duo. The backup feature, a prose story by MacKay about The Night Watchman, offers a strong noir vibe and nostalgic charm, appealing to fans of mystery and vigilante tales. Packed with action and pure classic vibes, the latest “Big Bang Adventures” issue is a perfect escape from contemporary comics, showcasing the powerful talents of Ray MacKay, Ron Williams, and John Thompson. Fans will eagerly await more from Big Bang Comics while celebrating their longevity with greatness.
Well, that’s it for me. Thanks for sticking around, and I look forward to seeing you all next time.
