Amethyst #4
Amethyst #4 (Reeder, Louise, Downie): Amy Reeder’s art and how it relates to the emotional narrative highlights this story every time, and it’s what ultimately makes it appealing, engaging, mesmerizing, and a story worth following, even if it sometimes gets lost in its main conflict.
DetailsHarley Quinn Black + White + Red #7
Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #7 (Henderson, Downie) is another strong entry with enjoyable artwork that falters just slightly in relying on the well trodden path of Harley’s relationship difficulties for a predictable story.
DetailsAtomic Victory Squad #3
Atomic Victory Squad #3 (Dean, Caba, Myers) The gang has their hands full and must come up with a plan to defeat Ridando and they must do it quickly! Although their celebration is going smoothly Invincibull in his infinite wisdom knows there’s something behind the curtain.
DetailsJustice league #50
The writing for Justice League #50 (Spurrier, Lopresti, Ryan) is superb, and the twists, while familiar, add layers of depth!
DetailsSymbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5
Ultimately, Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5 (David, Land, Leisten, D’Armata) is a fun, though somewhat flawed conclusion to this miniseries. It doesn’t necessarily earn the “symbiote” part of its title, but is a pretty unobtrusively great Spidey yarn nonetheless.
DetailsStrange Adventures #4
Adroit art is, in Strange Adventures #4 (King, Shaner, Gerads), unfortunately shackled to a grinding cog of a story. Let’s hope that this is merely a workmanlike pause in the artistry, rather than the whole of the story.
DetailsFire Power #1 & #2
There’s no doubts about it, Kirkman, Samnee, Wilson and Wooton solidified the fact that they have a new hit on their hands with the release of Fire Power #1 and #2. It’s well worth your time and money!
DetailsHellfighter Quin #1
From Mad Cave Studios comes Hellfighter Quin #1 (Sandlin, Atagun, Santaolalla, Birch), an explosive and action-packed series with a fresh look at tournament style fighting, taking lead character Quinlan Jones aka the real Hellfighter on an emotional and bloody ride that never forgets to have fun.
DetailsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #107
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #107 (Campbell, Pattison, Daniel, Lee) Something is lurking underground, children are missing, and what is Baxter up to now? The turtles have their hands full for sure but first, they must find a way to stay together in the sewers.
DetailsSuicide Squad #7
Suicide Squad #7 (Taylor, Sampere, Albarran, Lucas, Abbott) is a welcome bit of durable superhero storytelling, full of the action, character work, and great art readers expect.
DetailsEmpyre Tie-ins
Empyre X-Men#2 and Lords of Empyre: Celestial Messiah #1 excelled in their own way. Where one fleshes out a character crucial to the event, the other takes a fun concept and drives it to the extreme in the best way possible.
DetailsSpawn #308
With the battle on Earth just getting more expansive by the issue, Spawn #308 (McFarlane, Lashley, Steigerwald, Orzechowski) continues developing the fresh new superhero-inspired direction with a strong sense of pacing and understanding of lore.
