Immoral X-Men #2
Beneath the vaguely Star Trek patina, this story hides a wonderfully rotten heart. If you need a little theological and philosophical complexity with your futuristic mayhem, this is the book for you. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
DetailsNightcrawlers #2
Aside from some unfortunately seriously regressive gender politics, this story was a fun, rollicking tour through a devastated dystopian future.
DetailsAdventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1
This story is, in every sense, beautiful. It’s enticing, dark, and brimming with the twin enticements of threat and desire. I cannot wait to see what happens next from @TomTaylorMade @claytonhenryart & @DCComic
DetailsSaga #62
Aside from a singular (avoidable) misstep, this was another beautifully wrought chapter in what will prove to be one of the most important works in the medium of comics.
DetailsImmoral X-Men #1
IMMORAL X-MEN #1 is like an overripe pomegranate: swollen decadence with a heart full of rot. Pick it up, if you dare. @Marvel #MarvelComics #XMen @kierongillen #PacoMedina @WaldenWongArt #VictorOlazaba @jdramoscolors @SotoColor
DetailsNightcrawlers #1
NIGHTCRAWLERS #1 is a strong start to a series which promises to be, at the very least, entertaining and interesting. The art is worth the cost by itself! @sispurrier @ArtPaco @jdramoscolors #MarvelComics #SinsOfSinister #XMen
DetailsStorm and the Brotherhood of Mutants #1
Storm and the Brotherhood of Mutants #1: a strong start to the dark timeline this event is exploring. Action, adventure, tragedy and love exist here in perfect balance. It’s going to be difficult to wait for issue two from @alewing @artpaco & #MarvelComics
DetailsX-Force #37
This story was building for a long time, but the wait was absolutely worth it. Read it and find one of the best psychological thrillers in modern comics.
DetailsLegion of X #10
Legion of X #10 (Spurrier, Netho, Diaz, Lopez) book contains some of the best artwork currently on offer. Splashy explosions, violent deaths, betrayals, and a black revelation await you in the finale of Legion of X. #XMen #MarvelComics
DetailsBatman Legends of Gotham #1
BATMAN: LEGENDS OF GOTHAM #1 is a well-paced one-shot packed with action, introspection, and a compelling plot. I hope that there’s much more to come from @andydiggle @Art_o_Kamo @DCComics
DetailsSins of Sinister #1
SIns of Sinister #1 is a powerful introduction to a hideous new world to which fans of dystopian futures won’t be disappointed. This is the sinister start of an entertainingly horrific event. @kierongillen @LukasWerneck #MarvelComics
DetailsImmortal X-Men #10
IMMORTAL X-MEN #10, put bluntly, is an astonishing book, both as a perfect glimpse into a mind composed of overweening hubris and as a horrifying setup for what is certain to be one of the most memorable comics events of the year @kierongillen
