Marvel Zombies: Red Band # 2– The latest issue finds Jean Grey taking center stage as she witnesses the carnage and destruction left in the wake of the zombies. For some, the nostalgia factor kicks into high gear as the remaining heroes get transported to Battleworld, which quickly spirals into chaos. Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan don’t swing for the fences with this second issue. Instead, they focus on character-driven aspects that make this series an even bigger standout than its early incarnations. The Secret Wars setting only adds to the enjoyment, and the way the darker elements blend into the Secret Wars reimagining is impressive. One downside is that Parker and Sheridan seem to hold back on presenting true and violent gore, especially since this series is under the Red Band label and could go all out with zombie madness. However, seeing events through Jean Grey’s perspective makes for a great narrative, thanks to the sharp and impressive writing from both Parker and Sheridan. While this series does its best to revive the Marvel Zombies through a reimagined ey aterened history of the Marvel Universe, it remains a zombified fun romp with cinematic flair and plenty of gore. Let’s hope that the all-out horror will actually be present.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Halloween Special # 1– The Power Rangers celebrate Halloween with four stories that come off as charming rather than chilling. The spirit of Halloween is unmatched within these tales. The Meghan Camarena/Zahzary Sterlin/Joshua Jensen story, titled “Terror Toad’s Trick-Or-Treat Takeover,” pits the Rangers against Terror Toad. Instead of a terrifying battle, they are turned into bite-sized candies in an episode that feels quirky. It resembles an unused episode from the ‘90s series and fits perfectly with that era, but you have to read it to believe it. “Candy Cornered” by Nick Marino and Juan Romera introduces a new villain named Colonel Maize, a walking corn cob who menaces the Rangers. Candy corn gets much love in the story, even if it dismays those who dislike this particular candy. The story entertains with its silliness. Contributions by Sina Grace and Danny Lore feel better suited for a future Halloween compilation. Still, this special invokes Halloween lore with fun and zaniness, rather than chills and gore. It remains an enjoyable read for all Power Rangers fans. While the special could have also showcased the talents of Melissa Flores and Ryan Parrott (who are noticeably absent), it stands as another great addition to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers world.
Radioactive Spider-Man # 1 – For those wondering if Spider-Man truly belongs in the Age of Revelation world, the answer is a resounding “yes.” The concept cleverly leverages Peter Parker’s irradiated, radioactive blood, making him one of the few heroes able to survive after the X-Virus decimates the world. In this brutal new status quo, Spider-Man’s only hope lies in exposing himself to intense levels of radiation, which even causes him to grow extra arms. Written by current “Amazing Spider-Man” scribe Joe Kelly and brought to life by artist Kev Walker, this series navigates a landscape of brutality, horror, and haunting atmosphere. Kelly’s writing maintains Spider-Man’s trademark wit and strong moral compass—qualities especially welcome against such a grim backdrop. Walker’s art masterfully captures the body horror and radioactive mutations, enhancing the series’ unsettling tone. Adding a lighter note, Spider-Man’s romance with former X-Men medic Cecilia Reyes brings warmth to the story, though Kelly falls short in explaining how their relationship develops or what draws Cecilia to Peter. Hopefully, these gaps will be addressed in future issues, alongside the jaw-dropping revelation at the end (**NO SPOILERS**). “Radioactive Spider-Man” presents a more brutal, haunted version of the wall-crawler, but even as he does what he must to survive, the credo “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” remains central—no matter how dark the Age of Revelation becomes for Spider-Man.
Well, that’s it for me. Thanks for sticking around, and I look forward to seeing you next time.
