Review: Sheena #2

After issue zero and one of this series I was worried going into Sheena #2 and while previous issues with pacing and artwork still remain, the story is moving somewhere and Sheena is given a character to play off of which helps a lot. Our jungle queen is on a mission to find a missing surveyor, or as she says it “sir veyor,” and bring him safely home to protect her village from mercenaries. Of course this is easier said than done and this book mixed a bit of big business machinations with the wonders of nature. Sheena gets to show off her skills and connection with the jungle and the animals that live in it and while the action is limited it was still a decent read.

Review: Sheena #1

Having not been thoroughly impressed with the teaser, Sheena #0, I went into Sheena #1 hesitant but still hopeful. Surely the story was going to get exciting, and any issues from before would smooth themselves out, right? Somehow this is both better and worse at the same time. We’re given a bit more action, and Sheena faces actual problems this time around, but it’s hard to invest in the story yet, and the artwork isn’t helping either. Mediocre would be the best way to describe this comic, and while that’s not horrible, it’s a disappointment for those like myself seeking more strong, well written female characters on the comic landscape.
