Review by Kendra Hale

The last issue was an absolute whirlwind. A number of secrets came to light and we learned more about our villains, and also about the screen stars being targeted. Harley also made some new discoveries relating to the man she is partnered with, Hector. This led her to where Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn #4 begins; in jail, talking to Bruce.

Don’t Save Me

Harley has found herself with the one person whose advice she holds above all others, Bruce. After the most recent events, she’s questioning her abilities and herself.

A flashback to the night that Joker had his infamous fall into the acid brings certain truths to life.  Readers learn that Harley’s not the only one questioning things, as we get a shift to the villains themselves.

Starlet and the Producer don’t seem to be on the same page, and things are not going swimmingly between the two. Harley may be the one to save Gotham, but what happens when the spotlight stops on her?

If You Want Him, Come And Claim Him

There are so many delicious moments in this issue. Harley and Bruce’s talk is one of my favorite moments, as their relationship has deepened, and the moments are tender. There’s the scene where Harley asks Bud and Lou for their advice on her disguise, which is hilarious. Each part of this book just winds up to the next, and there’s no jarring, it’s all fluid. The artwork’s gorgeous and eye catching, and the writing’s superb.

Conclusion

There isn’t much I can say about this series that I haven’t already. Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn #4 continues giving us the greatness that we expect from a comic series, and it’s without question my favorite book currently on the market. I look forward to reading it and I miss it as soon as I finish the issue. As a comic reader that’s all I can ask for; for a series to haunt me.

“George R.R. 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

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from
