Now at the news site Comics for Sinners, you can read my review of Gold Key: Alliance #1, currently available from Dynamite Entertainment. Written by Phil Hester (Green Arrow) and illustrated by Brent Peeples (Legenderry: Green Hornet), it’s the start of a five-issue miniseries that teams up Dynamite’s latest rebooted versions of classic Gold Key Comics characters: Magnus, Robot Fighter; Turok, Son of Stone; Doctor Spektor; Doctor Solar, now a Woman of the Atom; and The Mighty Samson. There’s an odd, time-travel aspect to the storyline that might have old-school fans of the characters scratching their heads, but that’s no doubt Hester’s intent as he sets the Gold Keyers on the path to forming a superteam. Head on over to C4S to read all about it.
Speaking of superteams, are you familiar with SWC’s very own team, Troubleshooters, Incorporated? No? Then allow me to introduce you…
Perfect for superhero fans, Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings is a graphic novel about a supernatural team of superfolk-for-hire, consisting of a wizard, a sorceress, a female ninja, a high-tech-armor-wearing rock concert lighting designer, and a werewolf. Not every superhero team has Tony Stark’s billions to play with, you understand, and the Troubleshooters are just looking to earn a living while fighting the monsters that have always lurked in the shadows. Makes sense, right? Of course it does! Written by the husband-and-wife team of Richard C. White (Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination) and Joni M. White, and illustrated by Reggie Golden and Randy Zimmerman, with cover art by Richard Dominguez, Night Stalkings presents the TSI members on their first mission: protecting a multimillionaire from a trio of Middle Eastern demons out to raise a little hell!
Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings is available in print and digital formats, so visit its product page for ordering information.
