Captain Marvel #19
Ultimately, Captain Marvel #19 (Thompson, Smith, Di Benedetto, Bonvillain, Cowles) is a bit of a let down. It’s cool to see Carol coming into contact with her half sister and even having a chance to establish some sort of relationship, but it lacks depth and intrigue to stand out as anything other than an obligatory tie-in to an already lackluster event.
DetailsCatwoman #24
Catwoman #24 (Northcott, Murphy, Tormey, Plascencia, Napolitano) Catwoman’s adventure in Isle Nevada leaves Catwoman with a list and self-doubt.
DetailsDoctor Aphra #3: Fortune and Fate Part 3: Turnabout
Archaeologist Doctor Aphra’s latest adventure in issue #3 (Wong, Cresta, Rosenberg) brings her to a mysterious ancient city. A spooky setting already, but one made deadlier by the company she keeps.
DetailsX-Factor #2
Leah Williams, David Baldeon, and Israel Silva bring their A-game to X-Factor #2. They make a comic that is equal part heart and humor and an all-around pleasure to read.
DetailsX-Men #11
X-Men #11 (Hickman, Yu, Gracia) is a fun book, and an excellent study of Magneto as a leader, and a Hero, for the world.
DetailsAmazing Spider-Man #47
Amazing Spider-Man #47 (Spencer, Ferreira, Poggi, Curiel, Caramagna) crams 40 pages of comic book into 24 pages, but it’s really good. There’s more super-villaining than you can handle!!
DetailsImmortal Hulk #36
Immortal Hulk #36 (Ewing, Bennet) feels like a filler issue, a side-effect of writing for the trade. Still a cut above the standard issue these days, but hard to appreciate in its own right.
DetailsConan: Battle for the Serpent Crown #4
Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown #4’s (Ahmed, Ross, Woodard, Lanham) overall plot might be getting a little stale at this point, but the writing and art elevate it into a story worth reading.
DetailsTransformers ’84 #2
Transformers ’84 #2 (Furman, Guidi, Bove, Wood) has the Decepticons taking betraying to a whole new level and you’ll never guess who shows up. You’re gonna want to be there for this one!!
DetailsDr. Strange: Surgeon Supreme #06
Dr. Strange: Surgeon Supreme #6 (Waid, Walker, Tartaglia, Petit) finds out who his enemies and friends are, sad this is the final issue of the current series.
DetailsBatman: Three Jokers #1 (of 3)
After four years’ wait, Batman: Three Jokers #1 (@geoffjohns, @JasonFabok, @bdanderson13) is at last upon us. Despite any owed skepticism due to its extreme tardiness, this is a perfect, masterpiece of a comic. DO NOT MISS IT.
DetailsThe Moon Knight begins to shine in Avengers #35 (Aaron, Garron, Keith), the latest installment of “Age of Khonshu.” If you like your superhero popcorn epics big, bold, and willing to be a little silly, this is without a doubt a book for you!
