Review by James Stone

 With our heroes lost in space I really enjoyed the opportunity for the pace to slow down and spend some one on one time with Jessica Cruz and Orion in Justice League Odyssey #16.
Following her rebirth, Jessica has been given a new lease on life, and a newfound confidence which she lacked when we first met her on this journey. I’m a big fan of this new assertive and commanding leader and love how she enjoyed a great exchange with Orion in this issue.
DeX-Starr and Blackfire is the other pairing I’m enjoying right now. Their Sharp and harsh personalities don’t clash, but actually compliment each other. This means that every panel they share contains fun, laughs and plenty of sarcasm.

Conclusion

This is a series that hasn’t given the reader much time to breathe, but Justice League Odyssey #16  finally slowed the pace down, if only for a short while. This issue has some great character interaction and built the inevitable conflict with Darkseid to all new levels.
A new character with an interesting past joined the team, and the return of a former Justice League member made the final page a shock… but will they be friend, or foe?

Martin Presents: Wild Cards: Now And Then” Writer: Carrie Vaughn Artist: Renae De Liz Inker and Color Artist: Ray Dillon Book Designer and Letterer: Thomas Napolitano Wild Cards: The Drawing of Cards  excerpt written by Paul Cornell, penciled by Mike Hawthorne and Enid Balám, inked by Adriano De Benedetto and Lee Townsend, colored by Ruth Redmond, and lettered by VC’s Cory Petit Published by Bantam Books and Available from Penguin Random House Review by Steve J. Ray Wild Cards: Now And Then  is a brand new graphic novel based in an alternate reality and shared universe co-created by George R.R. Martin, the man behind the now legendary  Game Of Thrones  TV show, and the books that inspired them. This alone makes this book intriguing, but the writing, art, colors, design, and lettering by the amazing creative team would still make this volume an essential purchase, whether Martin’s name appeared on the cover, or not. I’ve not played the game, or read any of the thirty-plus W
