Comic Book Stash 4/19/2025

By Mark Rodriguez

We hit up the comic shop, and this time there weren't as many for us to pick up. I did get a back-order on All-New Venom # 4 so I can catch up and read # 5. I did place a new order for DC X Sonic # 1 since it was sold out last time around. Let's see what we got.

All-New Venom # 4

Venom takes on AIM and MODOK in this one. Now I can catch up on this as I read issue 5 where Venom's identity is revealed. Yeah, I know who it is by now, but let me pretend to act surprised.

All-New Venom # 4 Review

DC Universe X Sonic the Hedgehog # 2

Darkseid has set his sights on Sonic's world, so they call up the Justice League. Issue 1 sold out like crazy so I had to place it on back order. Now issue 2 has come out. I'll catch up to both issues soon.

The Spectacular Spider-Men # 14

Peter and Miles now have to take on The Lizard, while still dealing with the Electros!

Superior Avengers # 1

Doctor Doom is currently ruling the world, so he decided to form his own version of the Avengers! Doc Ock, Killmonger, Ghost and others team up!

Superior Avengers # 1 Review

IDW TMNT # 8

The city of New York is run by the Foot and they're after the Turtles. With the Turtles too busy fighting against each other, how can they handle the city they used to fight for now coming after them?

Batman Dark Patterns # 5

The second mystery continues as Batman tries to solve the case of The Voice of the Tower.

So that was today's haul. I still have to check with Stories Comics to see if they got the new Street Fighter Masters issue. I also should be getting my order of Yaira # 2 and Rippazine # 3 later today. I have a lot to read and a lot to catch up on.

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. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for ...

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...
