X-Men #5
X-Men #5 Hickman, Silva, Gracia, Petit): This issue combines truly beautiful art with top-notch storytelling and a firm handle on character voices which have been lacking in previous installments. It’s a heart-stopping ride.
DetailsExcalibur #5
Excalibur #5 (Howard, To, Arciniega): The Very Good fire Fox is back — and so is Rogue. This issue is a lot of fun, and exactly what you want from a fantasy X-Series.
DetailsX-Men #4
X-Men #4 (Hickman, Yu, Alanguilan, Gho): Dinner is served! Your main courses are fine art, an excellent plot, and a heaping side-order of unexamined misogyny.
DetailsWonder Woman : Dead Earth #1
Wonder Woman : Dead Earth #1 (Johnson, Spicer, Wooton): This is a brutal, beautiful story which strips Wonder Woman down to the bones of the myth — then polishes those ruins until they absolutely glow.
DetailsExcalibur #4
Excalibur #4 (Howard, To, Arciniega): The energy in this story is really ramping up in a satisfying way. If you enjoy druids and dragons, this book is well worth the cost.
DetailsExcalibur #3
Excalibur (Howard, To, Arciniega) hits its stride in issue #3. Dragons, fairies, and special surprise guest stars abound!
DetailsX-Men #3
X-Men #3 (Hickman, Yu) This issue is SUCH a dramatic improvement from the first two that it might have sprung from another mind. Trust me. You’re going to want to pick this one up.
DetailsExcalibur #2
Vibrant colors and a dark, beautifully fantastic tone to Excalibur #2 (Howard, To), combine into a story that, despite its (many) flaws, is shaping into something very special indeed.
DetailsX-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.
DetailsDCeased #6
A miniseries about a zombie-like apocalypse has absolutely no business being this beautiful, touching, or straight-up fun. ‘DCeased #6’ (Taylor, Hairsine, Edwards, Gaurdiano, Beredo) proved a fine conclusion to a wonderful event. Do pick it up.
DetailsBatman Annual #4
Beautiful art is forced to work in concert with a mediocre script in Batman Annual #4 (King, Fornes, Norton, Steward, Cowles).
DetailsExcalibur #1
This first issue is a little uneven, but it hits very strong when the blows land. If fantasy is your flavor, you’ll enjoy picking this one up.
