Star Trek Captains Log – Jellico
Star Trek Captains Log – Jellico (DeCandido, Woodward): A reflection of the damage of protocol, codes, meritocracy and a vertical scheme that looks at the flaws in Starfleet’s ideals. An interesting read, whether or not you like, dislike or know much about the character, but that will be enrichened from that previous knowledge.
DetailsFor Molly #2
For Molly (Cheng, Sawyer) is proving itself an interesting story with a mythos that captivates and captures the reader. Going now in their Kickstarter for issue #3, this second one provides us worldbuilding and designs filled with expressiveness, emotion, and strength.
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #62-65
Astonishing X-Men (2004) #62-65 (Liu, Walta): Bobby Drake has always been a complicated case. Join Comic Watch today to travel to 2013 and take a look at a queer Bobby issue, 2 years before his coming out. It’s complicated, it’s confusing, it’s sometimes not so good, but what it ultimately tells us about storytelling and subtext is precious.
DetailsLast Song #2
The deconstruction of the rock n roll myth, a story about a boy ate by his traumas and a tribute to our teenage bands. Black Mask Studios has got Last Song #2 (Interlandi, Cantirino) to prove this mixed formula is actually amazing.
DetailsLast Song (2017) #1
Last Song (2017) #1 (Interlandi, Cantirino): Get ready for a vibrant deep read, as this 60-pages issue will pull your attention to it by its original and punk-ish art and sincere and relevant writing and characters.
DetailsVarus #2: Retribution
In Varus #2: Retribution (McNeill, Rudy), the main conflict of vengeance versus self-healing is an engaging and brilliant one, with a great ending, but the execution nonetheless relies on tropes about mental illness that I hope we leave behind as we understand better what fantastical metaphors mean for real people.
DetailsReceiving Transmissions #1
Receiving Transmissions (Steenz!) is a captivating story that mixes the supernatural and striking with familiarity and cuteness. It gets deep into our main character and her feelings, getting to know her very well even in a short one shot.
DetailsGeneration X (1994) #1
Join Comic Watch this Sunday as we take a look back at a brilliant first issue. Generation X #1 (Lobdell, Bachalo) was innovative and risky, but hits just the right spots: dark, profound and defined art and character design, accompanied by some of the most unforgettable characters and a horrific villain.
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #57-58
(Liu, Walta, Ruiz) Astounding and detailed art that rounds up an engaging story about the rejection of otherness and final recognition and closeness. We have a lot to admire, enjoy and learn from these two issues.
DetailsGhosted in L.A. Volume 1
Ghosted in L.A. Volume 1 (Grace, Keenan, Le) The first volume of Ghosted in LA is the best possible start for this series, with engaging characters, dramatic innuendos and fresh brilliant art.
DetailsVarus #1: Heartlight
Varus #1 (McNeill, Hans) Amazingly beautiful art and a fascinating story that defies expectations and manages to make us feel hope even in the most dramatic moments. You can read it online at League of Legends webpage.

We had the pleasure to talk with Tesslyn Bergin, writer of sci-fi melodrama webcomic Facing The Sun, and the result is a deep and touching exploration into her inspirations, art process and her different ways of sharing art with the world.
