The Blue Falcon & Dynomutt #1 — This is one of the most exciting Hanna-Barbera properties to get its own title, and Dynomite is again on a roll when it comes to dishing out nostalgia to new heights. While some beats work perfectly—especially when reintroducing both Blue Falcon and Dynomutt—the majority of this opening issue spends retelling Dynomutt’s origin and highlighting how cool Blue Falcon is in his Radley Crown identity. (Think of him as a cooler, smoother version of Bruce Wayne.) This hampers the series, and while Jimmy Palmiotti flexes his creative muscles with his writing, it would have been better if he had just picked up where the animated show left off. He could have had fun exploring that era and placing it in a modern setting instead of this reboot. Let’s face it, when it comes to exploring Dynomutt’s origin, Peter J. Tomasi did a better job with the DC Comics Super Sons/Dynomutt Special from 2018. Anything Palmiotti brought to the table seems somewhat dull by comparison. However, he does manage to include some exciting moments, such as Radley trying out his Blue Falcon gear and getting into action scenes that don’t make him seem like a Batman knockoff. Pasquale Qualano’s art does a great job of capturing Dynomutt’s goofy personality and Blue Falcon’s heroic nature, which come off as crisp and clean, with a strong Bronze Age feel that only enhances the story. This book captures the essence and fun of the animated series, which had a rough start. But once Dynomutt’s origin is behind us, the excitement can truly begin.
One World Under Doom #7 – While Doctor Doom replaces Doctor Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme, it was a great summer event, gaining lots of momentum due to strong social commentary and numerous character moments. However, after seven issues, the series seems to have lost focus, and Ryan North, whose work on “Fantastic Four” has been exceptional, appears to be slowing down the story’s pace to build up for an expected finale packed with jaw-dropping surprises. In hindsight, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it would have been better if he had strengthened the last few installments instead of just biding his time. By now, the series should have concluded, and we’re left with another Doctor Doom/Mister Fantastic battle that fails to bring excitement or make it feel truly spectacular (no pun intended). With this installment serving as the penultimate chapter of the event, let’s hope the finale will be more breathtaking than the boring entry that is issue number seven.
The Punisher: Red Band #1 – THE PUNISHER RETURNS!!! Not Joe Garrison, who briefly took over when Frank Castle led The Hand to become a demon. He’s back with the iconic skull logo, delivering his brand of vigilante justice. Since this series is part of Marvel’s Red Band line, the blood and gore are intense, pushing the limits of violence typical in Marvel comics—visible dead bodies and exposed brains serve as clear indicators that Frank Castle is truly back. Seeing The Kingpin and Tombstone portrayed as brutally as ever (with Tombstone written especially well here, unlike in “Amazing Spider-Man”) is chilling, emphasizing their ruthless nature and the series’ focus on Mafia elements. The major twist is Frank suffering from amnesia, which takes the character in a new and compelling direction. Watching him try to recover his memories immediately engages readers, and Benjamin Percy seems perfect for this role, as he unapologetically unleashes the Punisher’s deadly side. Julius Ohta’s art creates a violent, striking atmosphere, complemented by Yen Nitro’s coloring. From Frank’s amnesia to his unexpected new ally—who has her own backstory worth exploring—it’s intriguing, although it might have been better if she called the police. The Punisher fits perfectly within the Red Band line, heightening his brutal traits and reintroducing him with all his glory and plenty of bullets.
Well, that’s it for me. Thanks for sticking around, and I look forward to seeing you next time.
