SUPERBABES #17 & #18: SHE-CAT, TARA & NIGHTVEIL, FRONT & CENTER

AC's all-color Superbabes #17 & #18 have hit shelves in a simultaneous explosion. 

The (backordered) #17 kicks off the two-fold adventure, presenting a She-Cat/Tara-based extravaganza, where the feline exemplar disguises herself as the towering Ms. Fremont to face a shifty "philanthropist," but can she withstand the intoxicated outcome? 

Issue #18 continues the high-stakes shenanigans, but shifts gears to center on Nightveil and a Valkyra attack. Can Femforce strike her down? Ah, that might prove easier said than done, even as She-Cat leaps in for the "kill." 

This AC, double whammy works with complementing charm, thanks to super-talented contributors Bobby Ragland, Mark and Stephanie Heike. 

These action-packed issues appear to be hard to find, so keep your eyes peeled and grab 'em before they're gone. (I was fortunate to purchase my copies thru Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road, Village Commons in Lawrenceville NJ: one's ideal hub for all things superheroic.)

And don't miss out on Superbabes #19, which promises to dispatch zombie-fied terrors galore!

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. 

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.  

SUPERBABES #10: SUPER-SEXY, COED SOLDIERING

AC's Superbabes #10 swoops forth with an all-color, super-sexy, coed soldiering issue, as its mighty, Ms. Victory cover conveys. 

If the truth be known, the combative lines may be blurred for a spell on this one, but all the same, our smokin' heroine is there to fight the Strong Hand, along with other Femforce favorites, Stardust, Nightveil, She-Cat, Tara, Synn, Roberta Strock and Janis Lawson, in action that picks up straight from last issue's rumble in the jungle.

"Days Without Frontiers", as this segment is called, also spotlights Rad, but in this current conundrum, is she good or bad? Her mom, Ms. Victory, would sure like to know and of course, so will the readers, who'll hang on every panel, thanks to Mark Heike's tight script, which is emboldened by his splendid inks, as well as Stephanie Heike's impressive coloring and the profound penciling of Bobby Ragland. 

As a bonus, Superbabes #10 includes "Haeir of the Gorgon", a ghastly Gorgana, origin fable by Mr. Heike, who co-colored with Ms. Heike. The interlude is supported by the ornate penciling of Dario Carrasco. A Prince Valiant vibe characterizes this one, but don't be surprised to find traces of eerie EC throughout. 

Superbabes #10 can be purchased at any number of comic shops and online sources. I bought mine at Steve's Comic Relief on Quakerbridge Road, Lawrenceville, NJ, a fruitful hub for all of one's superheroic/collectible needs. 

And don't forget, Superbabes #11 is right around the bend. Hot diggity! Can't wait!
