Daredevil #19 (Zdarsky, Checcetto, Iacono, Cowles) is a return to greatness in more ways than one for Daredevil. Zdarsky, Checcetto, and the rest of the creative team are exceptionally great this issue!

Batgirl #44: Am I Even Loveable?
Batgirl #44
Batgirl #44 (Castellucci, Tormey, Sotomayer, Andworld Design) might be filled with beautifully illustrated epic high-fantasy dragons and magical swords, but it is a story about the fears of love through and through, taking readers on an emotional roller coaster that ends with a dramatic twist that no one will see coming.

Angel & Spike #9: Something is Biting the Children
In its ninth issue, Angel is given a shiny new coat of paint as it morphs into Angel & Spike (Hill, Melnikov, Titov), but there are still so many underdeveloped characters and narratives here that it’s going to take a lot more than a couple of new characters to save this sinking ship.

Spider-Man Noir #1: I Can Only Remind You Of Who You Are

Spider-Man Noir #1: Margaret Stohl stays true to its characters and sets up an effectively mysterious tone and story, with Juan Ferreyra’s art providing it with a rainy and jazzy visual soundtrack. With some of the greatest themes in Spider-Man present (like his need to do everything in his hands to help others), and some really sweet character interactions, the book promises a story that we’re eager to see unfold.

Punisher: Soviet #4 (of 6): The Girl Most Likely To
Punisher: Soviet Part 4 – A Girl With a Heart as Big as the Sky
Punisher: Soviet #4 (Ennis, Burrows, Ortego, Woodard) is a pretty downbeat affair, with huge swaths of exposition buttressed by compulsory action sequences. The art is flat and the writing seems to just be going through the motions. Everyone involved is better than this!
