Helen of Wyndhorn #3

Helen of Wyndhorn #3

Well, here we are back for the next issue of this interesting series. Let’s see where it goes since last issue left off with Helen accompanying her grandfather to reunite the exotic animal with its mother. I’m curious as to what Helen saw and did for it. Let’s get into it!
 

 Skipping the stuff in the present, I’m more interested in talking about the past events. Helen and her grandfather were gone for an entire month. Helen barged into Lilith’s room going on about her adventure, but wasn’t making much sense. I thought she was inebriated again, but she seemed to actually be sober. lol Helen mentioned her mother in an unflattering manner who died after giving birth to her. 

In all honesty, this issue is just difficult to describe since it has to be read in order to be believed.  It’s like a mystical world they entered into. They had to gain entrance through some haggard-looking creature. Barnabas told Helen to shield her eyes befor.   e entering since she had been walking through the “Shadow of Leaves”. After entering, they went to a hotel.  

The hotel seemed really nice and cozy, but prior to reaching it, which took hours on foot, Helen explains how she didn’t understand any of what was going on. She did quench her thirst though. While at the inn, she is questioning her grandfather, trying to make sense of where they were. It’s like they were in reality, yet not. It made me think of the book, A Wrinkle in Time. 

Anyway, before her grandfather could give a straightforward answer, Helen was nearly out and blackout drunk. The alcohol consumed wasn’t quite “wine” nor was it “beer”. I’m not going to lie, though; with the way Helen described it flavor wise, being sweet and such, I wouldn’t mind a taste. I just wouldn’t want the “powerful” side effect. lol When she awoke, confused at what she was currently seeing, Barnabas was a bit bloodied, his clothing tattered, and those lying around them, possibly injured or dead. He also talked about the king of the area, referring to him as “filth”.

While on this journey it seemed that Barnabas had quite a few enemies or always had people after him. He revealed that he didn’t fear anything. During the journey, Helen was nearly attacked while gathering water but she fought back, noting that usually her instinct in such a situation was to run. Barnabas saw the encounter but didn’t help as he figured she’d do fine by herself.

As they continued, they met this woman. Very godlike and mystical. I won’t get into it, but there is a reveal about Helen here. After leaving the woman, Barnabas looked tired. 

So I just don’t know what to think of this issue. I liked the lore and it just makes me more curious as to how this world in which they were traversing can exist. It feels like it was a part of the world Helen’s father scripted in his stories. Well, let’s see what happens next in the upcoming issue.

SNK VS Capcom Chaos Volume 1

By Mark Rodriguez We'll be seeing a few crossovers this month, and we're gonna start with one based on a crossover videogame. If you think the Malibu SF comic series was kinda sloppy, this one was literally all action, pin ups and splash pages, and what little story in it is just plain weird. I'm talking about the SNK VS Capcom Chaos comics made by Happy Comics, translated by Japan and produced with supervision from both SNK Playmore and Capcom. But first a brief explanation on the game this was inspired from. In 2000, Capcom produced Capcom VS SNK Millenium Fight 2000 which would throw the fighters of Capcom and SNK at each other. Unfortunately, aside from Morrigan from Darkstalkers and Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, the game felt more like Street Fighter VS King of Fighters. Capcom later made Capcom VS SNK 2 Mark of the Millenium with even more characters and variety as well as different modes of play. SNK made their own game, SNK VS Capcom Chaos and it offered a bit more...

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

 By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy.  The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand.

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi...
