FEMFORCE #203: FEAR THE QUEEN IN YELLOW

 

AC's all-color Femforce #203 presents several compelling avenues for our team, as its members face the quarrelsome Queen in Yellow, who's taken possession of Nightveil's beguiling Cloak of Darkness.

The conundrum sets Femforce to dino-based Taragonia and ultimately to the perplexing Dark Dhagor for a dangerous, dimensional-rocking confrontation. 

Issue #203 also features a dreamy, Nightveil interlude, where our lovely mystic rescues Kamalfa from a woeful, environmental station, just as the Black Commando falls to insanity.

The riveting contents spring from contributors Bill Black, Eric Coile, Jeff Austin, and Mark and Stephanie Heike, who keep readers on the edge of their seats and begging for more with their striking visuals and stupendous storytelling. No ifs, ands or buts, this issue holds classic relegation, but then, doesn't every entry in the dazzling series?

Femforce #203 is available here and now through online venues and neighborhood, comic shops. I purchased mine through Steve's Comic Relief at Village Commons, on Quakerbridge Road, Lawrenceville, NJ: a superb hub for all superheroic cravings.

And speaking of cravings, I can't wait for Femforce #204. That suggestive, Tara-vs-snake cover has sure gotten my pulse racing. S-s-schwing!!!

FEMFORCE #202: IN SEARCH OF THE LOST CLOAK

AC's Femforce #202 is a Nightveil extravaganza, wherein our shapely mystic engages Shimmer's Cosmic Sack to catch her powerful Cloak of Darkness. 

If that sounds surreal, the strangeness doesn't end there, as evidenced by a golden giantess named Yellow Queen, who's joined by golden behemoths, one of whom, named Rhogtarr, teams with Tara and Ms. Victory. 

But that's still not all. She-Cat, Black Commando, Nikki, Verden Fell and Ironhead McGinty make cameo appearances, paving the way for a chapter where Stardust transitions into a monstrous mutant. How frightful!

These fantastic ingredients come courtesy of the talented Bill Black, Andrew Hawnt, Bobby Ragland, Eric Coile, and Mark and Stephanie Heike, clinching #202 as one of Femforce's most spellbinding to date.

Be sure to purchase this breathtaking issue at your favorite comic shop or online source. I nabbed mine at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Rd., Village Commons, Lawrenceville, NJ: the ideal hub for one's every superheroic need.

And remember, folks, Femforce #203 is now in development. That Yellow Queen cover is a real, ferocious stunner, wouldn't you say? Whoa!

FEMFORCE #201: TRADING PLACES

A "Future Shock" seizes Femforce #201, as the slick Shimmer catapults Stormy Tempest from the far future. However, it all bounces back to 2023, where Femforce must unravel how and why Ms. Tempest landed in their headquarters. 

Meanwhile, Nightveil's Cloak of Darkness is kept in Dr. Farb's lab, manifesting an angry, yellow demon. Thank goodness, Ms. Victory and Tara are there to curb the mayhem ... if they can.

As a bonus, #201 sports a snazzy, She-Cat story, "The Path You Walk Is Thorny, My Son." Now, how's that for a nifty, Wolf Man allusion? The title is by no means unmerited, for the story does feature a lycanthrope.  

As one can deduce, #201's contents are quite winsome, all thanks to contributors, Mark & Stephanie Heike, Bill Black, Eric Coile and Bobby Ragland, who do a smashing job with the all-color escapades. 

Purchase a copy of #201 at your favorite, comic-book shop or preferred, online source. (I got my copy at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road, Village Commons, Lawrenceville, NJ: a jaunty joint to satisfy any and all superheroic needs.)

And remember, Femforce #202 is lurking right around the bend with a whole new explosion of riveting action and moralistic, sex appeal. 

CAULDRON OF HORROR #2: MORE CRYPTIC TALES

Cauldron of Horror #2 rises from AC's creative catacombs with a new, all-color trilogy of terror.

As one can discern from Patrick Broderick and Bill Black's exhilarating cover, it's a mummy yarn that headlines Issue #2, written by renowned filmmaker and big-time, monster buff, Don Glut!

"Demonic Mummy" features not only the evident, bandaged corpse, but the chaotic, cobra-man, Apopis, who's involvement in a low-budget horror film holds a Faustian catch. 

In "Our Acnephobia," written by Mark Heike, Bonnie and Clyde copycats discover a sequestered scientist who bestows them a creepy surprise.

For "You Wore Black, The Angels Wore White," written by Dan Membiela, a vampiric ruse manifests, but is it wrought in danger, play ... or maybe a bit of both? 

It should be noted that Bobby Ragland, Davide Deidda, Stephanie Heike, Jaime Castro, David Jacob Beckett and Walter (Bill Black) Paisley also contributed to this issue, entrenching its haunting merit. 

For those who love EC and Warren titles, Cauldron of Horror is certain to delight, with devilish creatures and startling examples of bizarre comeuppance. (I procured my copy via Steve's Comic Relief, Village Commons, Quakerbridge Road, Lawrenceville, NJ: a prolific hub for every imaginative need.) 

And for those desiring even more thrills and chills, Cauldron of Horror #3 is scheduled for a fall release ... just in time for Halloween!

FEMFORCE HITS HISTORIC #200!

A moment of historic, comic-book proportions is upon us with the arrival of AC's Femforce #200! Whoopee!

And what great content to commemorate the event! It features the evil Alizarin Crimson, accompanied by the sinister Shimmerer, who lures Femforce into an amusement park, allegedly established in our heroines' honor. The stunt, which includes a simulated T-Rex, gives the statuesque villainess a chance to usher forth a barrage of veritable (and familiar) villains to assault our curvaceous crusaders. (BTW: The T-Rex nod brings matters full circle for Femforce, in that the gals encountered such a specimen in #1.)   

At any rate, "Tunnel of 200 Terrors" is exciting, psychedelic and sexy as hell, all thanks to the all-color calamity installed by contributors Bill Black, Eric Coile, Jeff Austin and the Heikes.  

It's so satisfying that Femforce has hit this historic mark, with Nightveil, Ms. Victory, Tara, She-Cat, Stardust and Synn still going strong after all these years. In a time when righteous valor and an appreciation for the female form are considered passé, it's commendable that AC keeps its commitment to delivering what so many of us not only want, but need. 

Get this benchmark issue while it lasts. I preordered my copy from Steve's Comic Relief, located on Quakerbridge Road, Village Commons, Lawrenceville, NJ: the ideal spot for every superheroic need.

Now, let's get set for #201. Man, oh man, does it ever look winsome!

FEMFORCE #199: HEROINES WANTED

AC's all-color Femforce #199 presents double-the-cover-villainy, thanks to the kinky duo, Pirate Girl and Madame Boa, signaling that our sultry superheroines, led by the towering, jungle-girl Tara Fremont, are wanted in the worst way possible!

In truth, it's the Vincent Price-homaging Vernon Fell, rough-and-tumble Ironhead McGinty and (above all) the splotchy, time-tripping Shimmerer who usher Femforce toward eradication. The statue-esque Alizarin Crimson then takes the reins from the boys, leading a vexing rogues gallery against our virtuous saviors, with good ol' Paragon and Black Commando making brawny, guest appearances. 

Yep, "A Gathering of Evil" holds quite a to-die-for cast, though our marvelous team won't tolerate extinction, no matter how many baddies are hurled its way. 

The story and artwork by Bill Black, Eric Coile and Mark & Stephanie Heike make this package extra-energetic, as it takes sagacious flights and revived vendettas to the highest, scintillating levels. 

Be sure to purchase Femforce #199 from your favorite comic-book shop or online source. I procured mine at Steve's Comic Relief at Quakerbridge Road, Village Square, Lawrenceville, NJ: an incomparable hub for every superheroic need.

And remember, folks, Femforce #200 is right around the historic bend, and if its wraparound cover is any indication, this one's gonna be off the action-packed charts.  

FEMFORCE #198: NIGHTVEIL V BLUE BULLETEER

AC's Femforce #198 presents an all-color, dynamic-duo challenge in "...Nightveil No More?", with the sexy sorceress and the Blue Bulleteer going at it under Cloak of Darkness duress on Planet Dhagor, as a colossal feline scratches away at our frantic She-Cat. 

At least Synn swings in to quell the psychedelic contention. Stardust, Kamalfa, Tara, Black Commando, Azagoth, Paragon, Ms. Victory, Laura Wright, Alizarin Crimson, Fenton Farb and Sinapore Sal (the sauciest pirate on sea or land) are also on hand, ensuring #198 matches (if not surpasses) the very best that Femforce has thus far summoned. 

Ah, but that ain't all. To elevate #198 to even greater glory, there's "Generally Speaking with Richard Gordon", featuring Nightveil, Ms. Victory, She-Cat, Blonde Bomber and the mysterious Michelle Baum in an agile, airwaves adventure. 

Credit for this issue's sublime success goes to masterminds Bill Black and Mark and Stephanie Heike for their searing stories and amazing artwork. 

Seize a copy of Femforce #198 at your favorite bookstore or online source. (I purchased mine at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road, Village Commons in Lawrenceville, NJ: a one-stop shop for all superheroic needs.)

And don't forget Femforce #199 is just around the bend, with #200 not far behind that. Yep, AC history is about to be made!

FEMFORCE #195: GIANTESS V GIANTESS

 

AC's all-color Femforce #195 lands a walloping punch of the giantess kind, with the mega spotlight falling upon the Garganta-inspired Stella Stargaze and the towering Tara Fremont, who end up in a powerhouse confrontation that Femforce fans won't soon forget (and this is just the first part of their titanic clash). 

Bill Black's story and Art Coile's imagery tie it all together to majestic perfection, as Ms. Victory, She-Cat, Synn, Nightveil, Stardust and Paragon guest star. 

Readers are also treated to a She-Cat supplement called "Driving Miss Crazy", wherein our heroine must race to the finish line to get her licence renewed, though not before facing a Nightveil-tied obstacle. The frantic spree features pleasing artwork by Mark & Stephanie Heike, sprung from a clever script by Mark and abetted by Bobby Ragland's vibrant layout.

Femforce #195 is a blast from beginning to end and acts as exciting warm-up for the inevitable #196.

Grab a copy of #195 at your favorite comic shop or on-line source. (I nabbed mine at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road in Lawrenceville, NJ: the ideal hub to satisfy one's superheroic needs.)
