December 2016 Comic Block Review Wrap-Up
Every Comic Block has a comic book-themed t-shirt. December’s Comic Block Ninjak t-shirt is dark blue and has three images of Ninjak ready for battle. This month’s comic vinyl collectible was an exclusive Harley Quinn Lil’ Bombshells figure. This tiny Harley figure has Harley Quinn with her pigtails dyed pink and her trusty sledgehammer. To pair with the Lil’ Bombshells Harley Quinn, the exclusive Harley Quinn art print is ready for framing and hanging in your room.
Crossover comics can be a lot of fun, so we were excited to read the Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman 77 and Star Trek and Green Lantern comics. Both have an exclusive variant covers. In Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman 77, government agents Jamie Sommers and Diana Prince must team up to fight a threat to national security. Starfleet and the Lantern Corps are on a new adventure fighting foes from both Star Trek and Green Lantern franchises in Star Trek and Green Lantern Vol 2. Issue #1. Captain Kirk and Hal Jordan lead the way, of course.
Back in January, we received Red Sonja Issue #1, so the prequel, Issue #0 is a nice bonus item. In the prequel, Red Sonja is awakened from a magical sleep by demons and must discover where she is and why she is there.
Finally, in Hook Jaw Issue #1 the worlds of a group of marine scientists researching great white sharks, Somali pirates, the US Navy and the CIA cross paths as the shadow of Hookjaw lurks in the waters.
Comic Block head into the New Year with a Deadpool calendar. Each month of this 16 month calendar features different artwork of this rebellious “hero”.
