Livewire #12
It’s the bittersweet end of the road in Livewire #12 (Ayala, Ford, Fitzpatrick), and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t gonna miss this series, and that means a ton in and of itself…

X-Men #2: When Two Become One
X-Men #2
X-Men #2 (Hickman, Yu, Alanguilan) is compelling, playing with high stakes and complex ideas, all of which will influence the entire Dawn launch, however it’s let down by less than stellar characterizations and mid-range art.

CATALYST PRIME: 7 DAYS #2
SEVEN DAYS #2 (Simone, Luis, Trinidade, Madson, Temofonte) does a spectacular job of running the full range spectrum of human emotion while balancing that with engaging action and mystery packed storytelling in a flawlessly illustrated, colored and lettered comic. Bravo!

Fantastic Four #16: The Masterpiece World of Spyre
Fantastic Four #16
The senses-shattering saga of Spyre plays a number of familiar Fantastic Four riffs and comes up with some new and entertaining things to do with them. This is stuff we’ve seen before in ways that we haven’t seen it. Coming up with material that is true to the FF tradition but isn’t a mere retread of old stories isn’t easy, but Dan Slott seems to be on top of things. I look forward to seeing the full effects of the visit of The Fantastic Four to planet Spyre, and what it will mean to the future.
