We're back to recap a great week of Comics & Manga we read here at GamingTrend.com last week!

We have three comics to showcase this week: one from Dark Horse Comics, one from Marvel Comics, and one from Titan Manga.

At the end, keep an eye out for a preview of what we're looking at this week!


The Crown: A Tale of Hell - Issue #1

From the World of Hellboy comes a story of some wildly entitled royalty of Hell. While Hellboy is not heavily featured in this first issue, seeing his "family" and how intense they can be versus Hellboy's found family is a blast.

This is a two-part event and issue one sets the stage for a pretty thrilling second issue. The art feels old school for Hellboy while still providing a little bit of a redesign for characters seen before. This is a prequel series showing the power struggle internally before anything we see in Hellboy before!

The Crown: A Tale of Hell #1 :: Profile :: Dark Horse Comics
Hellboy’s brothers fight for control of Pandemonium in this demonic family reunion. But it isn’t just the siblings who get involved in the power struggle, as their mother returns from her prison for the first time in a hundred years and has plans of her own.Mike Mignola is joined by his brother Todd Mignola (“Hellboy: The Exorcist of Vorsk”) and artist Warwick Johnson-Cadwell (Our Encounters with Evil) in this new Hellboy prequel series.• Longtime Mignola collaborator Warwick Johnson-Cadwell joins the Hellboy universe!• Brothers Mike and Todd Mignola pen this story about Hellboy’s brothers!• Two-issue series.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn - Issue #5

This is the finale of what could be my favorite full mini-series from Spider-Man I've had the pleasure to read. From a balance perspective, Peter truly is "torn" within the story and it shows itself by how frequently we see Peter versus how often we see Spider-Man.

My favorite issues were like this, almost half but leaning more towards Peter. By the end, we have a Peter-Shaking moment of "oh my goodness, did they just..." and then the end! If you're a fan of Spider-Man, or more importantly, Peter Parker - give The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn a read, the full series is now out at marvel.com.

The Raven Dark Hero - Vol. 2

Superheroes aren't what they seem, supervillains are saving lives, and all in the meantime, Suou Kouki is simply trying to learn his new abilities and help those who need it. Even if that means going against the political systems and friendships he's worked to be a part of his whole life.

Turning the superhero genre on its head, The Raven Dark Hero begs the question, "what if heroes aren't all they seem." This leaves the door open for wild turns, betrayal, double agents, and so much more! Vol. 2 does a great job building the world even more and setting the stage for secrets getting out there for, hopefully, the world to see!
