REVIEW: Live From The Comic Shop: King’s Watch, Brain Boy, Eternal Warrior, Ballistic, Liberator, Killjoys

"Any week with an issue of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is a good week. Now at Issue #4, the series is written by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon, with art by Becky Cloonan, colors by Dan Jackson, and letters once again by the ineffable Mark Piekos of Blambot. The experience of the comic is dictated by each member of this team in such a pronounced way that it’s hard to think of Killjoys existing without the contribution of each. Cloonan’s inks have that slightly savage quality that melts into a calligraphic grace which works so well in action as well as dialogue scenes and pops so memorably against Jackson’s always edgy colors. The ongoing drama between pornbots Red and Blue keeps up the emotional pitch of the issue, and reminds us that the comic is as much about big storytelling as being emotionally engaging. This series more than many is so firmly about characters that it hits those emotional notes on a regular basis. The girl is now “New Girl” with a resistance makeover, but she’s up against some crises of conscience when it comes to Val’s behavior, and this suggests that she’s going to continue to be the questioning conscience on the book. At what point does a brutal environment create only brutality rather than heroism? Unfortunately, “New Girl” has some very tricky and convoluted claims to sift through that may make or break her future as a resistance member. Never a dull moment with Killjoys."
