Comics Review: SHEENA Queen of the Jungle Volume 2 #7

COLORS: Dinei Ribero
LETTERS: Taylor Esposito

COVER: Lucio Parrillo
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Rose Besch; Arthur Suydam; Joseph Michael Linsner; Lucio Parrillo; Jackie Goehner and Rick Narvaez (cosplay)

Sheena originally created by S.M. “Jerry” Iger and Will Eisner; reboot by Steven E. de Souza
“Cenozoic” Part Two
Sheena, Queen of the Jungle is an American comic book character. She first appeared in the British magazine, Wags #46 ( January 1938), and was created by legendary American comic book creators, Will Eisner and S. M. “Jerry” Iger. Sheena made her first American appearance in Jumbo Comics #1 (Fiction House, cover dated: September 1938) where she was a mainstay until 1953. Sheena was also the first female comic book character to star in her own series. A “jungle girl heroine,” Sheen was an orphan, like Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan, who had adventures featuring African natives, wild animals, and white hunters and villains.
Dynamite began publishing Sheena comics in 2017. Dynamite's second series is Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, Volume 2. It is written by Steven E. de Souza; drawn by Jethro Morales and Wil Rio; colored by Dinei Ribero; and lettered by Taylor Esposito. Writer de Souza begins a new series of challenges for Sheena in the story line, “Cenozoic,” which finds Sheena on a mission to save a nature preserve only to get trapped in time.
As Sheena: Queen of the Jungle, Volume 2 #7 opens, she is not where she expected, as some kind of vortex transported the plane she was aboard to a mysterious island. Her human companions, Bob Kellerman and Martin Ransome, are not good for much beyond getting her into more trouble. Luckily, her animal friends: Yagua, Chim, and Pete are more useful.
However, this strange new land is filled with unseen things and a rumbling volcano! When Sheena captures an elderly man, the mystery deepens. When he starts talking, panic sets in!
THE LOWDOWN: Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles. One of them is Sheena: Queen of the Jungle Volume 2 #7, which is the seventh Dynamite Sheena comic book that I have read.
Sheena: Queen of the Jungle Volume 2 is one of my favorite Dynamite titles. Dynamite's current incarnation of the character has apparently been “rebooted” by the prolific writer, Steven E. de Souza, known for his work in Hollywood as a writer, producer, and director of film and television. If he worked as a “script doctor,” then, he performed emergency surgery or face lifts on a large number of action, crime, and suspense films over the past few decades.
Here, de Souza's fix is to smartly mix lost world and pulp fiction elements with modern sensibilities and technology. Artist Jethro Morales turns it into riveting graphical (comic book) storytelling with this issue acting as a pulse-pounding chapter in a thrilling serial. Dinei Ribero colors make the art pop, and here, letterer Taylor Esposito shines on the parakeet “dialogue” and on general sound effects.
I have been highly recommending Sheena Queen of the Jungle Volume 2 since the first issue. Having a major Hollywood figure writing it should give you extra incentive to read it, dear readers. Or how about reading it because you need something good to read?
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Sheena will want to try Sheena Queen of the Jungle Volume 2.
[This comic book includes “Dynamite Dispatch” June 2022, which features an interview with writer Christopher Priest.]

Comics Review: "ELVIRA in Horrorland Volume 1 #2" Visits Kubrick's Overlook Hotel
ELVIRA IN HORRORLAND VOLUME 1 #2
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT
STORY: David Avallone
ART: Silvia Califano
COLORS: Walter Pereya
LETTERS: Taylor Esposito
EDITOR: Joseph Rybandt
COVER: Dave Acosta and Jason Moore
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Dave Acosta and Jason Moore; John Royle; Silvia Califano; photo cover

Chapter Two: “She's a Kubrick... House”
In 1981, actress and model Cassandra Peterson created the “horror hostess character,” known as “Elvira.” Elvira gradually grew in popularity and eventually became a brand name. As Elvira, Peterson endorsed many products and became a pitch-woman, appearing in numerous television commercials throughout the 1980s.
Elvira also appeared in comic books, beginning in 1986 with the short-lived series from DC Comics, Elvira's House of Mystery. In 2018, Elvira returned to comic books via Dynamite Entertainment. Elvira's latest comic book series is Elvira in Horrorland Volume 1. The series is written by David Avallone; drawn by Silvia Califano; colored by Walter Pereyra; and lettered by Taylor Esposito. The series finds Elvira trapped in the Multiverse of Movies (a bunch of “pocket dimensions” created by the existence of movies) with only the illusive “Remote Control of Federico Fellini” capable of returning her home.
Elvira in Horrorland Volume 1 #2 (“She's a Kubrick... House”) opens in the aftermath of Elvira's (mis)adventures at “Bloch's Motel” and its crazy proprietor and his mother. Now, it's on to “The Overcooked Hotel” and its temporary manager, Nick Torrents. Elvira's journey is about to get quite a shining, and she still has to find that remote.
THE LOWDOWN: Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles. One of them is Elvira in Horrorland Volume 1 #2, one of many Dynamite/David Avallone Elvira comic books that I have read and enjoyed.
This second issue is a spoof of director Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film, The Shining. Writer David Avallone has quite a bit of fun with Kubrick much discussed film. In fact, this may be the most fun Avallone has had with a revered director since he held Guillermo del Toro's head under water in Elvira: The Shape of Elvira. In “She's a Kubrick... House,” Avallone finds endless delight in Kubrick's masterpiece, which I consider one of the darkest films I have ever seen. But Avallone mines so much humor out of this movie that he has the momentum to potentially turn this issue into a graphic novel.
I think artist Silvia Califano is perfect as Avallone's collaborator here. Califano's turns Avallone's script and comedy into comic book gold. I've previously compared Califano art for Elvira in Horrorland to the 1980s work of Howard Chaykin. Now, I'm approaching the point of bringing up the name of the humor comics maestro, Wallace Wood.
Once again I … redrum, redrum … recommend Elvira in Horrorland, dear readers. My God! It's full of humor, indeed.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Elvira and of David Avallone's Elvira comic books will want to read Elvira in Horrorland Volume 1.
