SUPERBABES #15: I SCREAM CLONE!

 

AC's all-color Superbabes #15 more than delivers the goods, with a captivating chapter that curdles of cloned complexity. 

In "I Scream Clone!," Ms. Victory's first husband re-emerges, Kent Farrell ... a clone, for all intents and purposes, but how ... why? 

He certainly does surprise the superheroine and with more than just his duplication, which includes a revelation about Ms. Victory's daughter, Jen, as Roberta Strock and Garganta enter the intrigue. 

For this issue's bonus tale, "Cat's Cradle," She-Cat, Miss Masque and Firebeam encounter the artifact-hungry Dr. Khalfani, in a mummified, tomb-raiding adventure that's as frightening as it's hot-hot-hot!

Issue #15's adventures come courtesy of Mark and Stephanie Heike, who lend their storytelling and artistic skills to the opener, with Eric Johnson, E.T. Dollman, Jeff Austin and Manny Mederos teaming with them for the second. (Mark also shares an insightful "editorial," which explains the concept behind "I Scream Clone!," in sync with Bill Black's idea for Femforce #200.

As it stands, Superbabes #15 is a sexy, powerhouse triumph from front to back. 

And keep in mind, folks, Superbabes #16 isn't far off, and from its robotic-assaulting cover, yet another winner awaits. 

FEMFORCE #197: TENRILED TERRORS

AC's Femforce #197 hits the racks with a luscious, tentacled cover, and if I were one such multilimbed beast, I, too, would be inclined to grasp the lovely Nightveil. But then, our mighty heroine isn't one to stay restrained for long, even when wayward magic is the cause, as writer/artist Bill Black's amazing "By Azagoth's Beard!" demonstrates. 

This sultry battle of beauty and beast isn't the only wild anomaly in this awesome, all-color issue, for there's also a tendriled Stardust story, courtesy of Bobby Ragland and Mark and Shephanie Heike, entitled "House Plants". Trust me, these aren't the type that require mere sunshine and water!

Ms. Victory, Tara, Stella Stargate, Kamalfa, Vivian Volenti, She-Cat, Synn and Alizarin Crimson cameo to liven up the already lively conundrums. Ah, speak of arousing seasonings!

Beyond a doubt, Femforce #197 is one to own and savor. Grab it while it's hot! (BTW: I seized my copy at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road/Village Commons, Lawrenceville, NJ: a sensational spot to satisfy every superheroic need.) 

And don't forget, Femforce #198 is hovering on the horizon. It looks to be another beauty-packed blast, with Nightveil and the Blue Bulleteer ushering the action. Can't wait!
