Plot: Fist of Justice returns to crime fighting after 30 years of being locked away in an asylum. Upon returning to Charm City he discovers a new Fist of Justice has taken his place and this one isn’t so nice.

This was a very interesting read, as the story for Fist of Justice has been thoroughly thought out and developed to create a complex look at the superhero genre. Spanning 30 years through continuity we see what happens when a hero fails and the repercussions of him giving up. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but its fun nonetheless.

SIGNIFICANCE: Digital Webbing was wise to choose Fist of Justice as its Free Comic Book Day contribution, considering the inevitable success of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the mainstream attention superheroes will receive as a result. Further, Digital Webbing is actually one part publishing house, one part on-line creative network, so newbies to comics could benefit from the knowledge that such a traditionally print-oriented medium has become a prevalent, multifaceted presence on the Internet, too. Personally, while I’ve read some Digital Webbing titles in the past, I’d never explored their website before today, and I’m impressed at the depth of their talent and resources.

Sure there have been many Heaven vs. Hell stories in comics. Ennis’ run on HELLBLAZER was one of the best. This comic borrows themes from these books and does a great job communicating a dynamic story.

So what is this? Published by Digital Webbing, it’s “A Murder Mystery of Supernatural Proportions” according to the introduction text right above the credits. Apparently Himmler made a deal of some kind with Lucifer back in World War 2 and the result was that he, Lucifer, was instrumental in one of the German death camps, Treblinka II to be exact.

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover; apparently that is not entirely true. Demon’s Regret is an excellent book, however I must admit that the cover left me wondering what I would find inside. The cover style did not catch my interest, but after reading the book its inner meaning speaks to me, which is a really positive achievement for Michael Golden.

BloodRayne: Tokyo Rogue #1 – That cover is pretty muddled [cover A shown by Don Walker], which fits well with the story.

You know, for someone who has an innate fear of anything that mews, I read way too many horror comics. Bloodrayne is one of them, focusing on a half-human half-vampire (AKA dhampir) and her adventures working for the Brimstone Society.

The Drac Pack is Back!

Longtime visitors to The Comic Fanatic.Com are well aware that I am a huge fan of Jason Henderson’s Sword of Dracula. Henderson’s new spin on the classic Count Dracula has been the most original look at the Lord of the Vampires since Stoker put pen to paper all those years ago. And this is a premise that I would love to see on the spinner racks on a monthly basis. So I eagerly await and take whatever Sword of Dracula goodness that I can get. The latest morsel? Sword of Dracula/Vampirella.

Few comics can adapt a videogame into a comic book well, but I think this issue really works.

Prime Cuts #2 – Ah, the closest I come to supporting indie comics, I suppose. I dig this cover (Bilbao cover), if only because there are about three different ways I interpret it. 1) She’s gesturing towards the creature, in sort of a nonchalant “ta-da!”. 2) She’s about to get attacked by it, and is flippantly dismissing it as a threat. 3) It almost looks like she’s about to pet it on the side of its head.
