DetailsLost On Planet Earth #2
Lost On Planet Earth #2: A fast-paced story, but one that promises to take us on a revolutionary trip of growth and breaking with preconceptions of the world (both in personal and social ways). We’re eager to see what Visaggio and Aguirre have for us next.
Details
Alberto Rayo is a Peruvian comic writer with a broad multi-genre artwork. We sat with him to talk about his work, his inspirations and his sci-fi narrative approach, connecting visions of the future with indigenous roots, environmentalism and an anti-colonial approach.
DetailsGhosted in L.A. #10
Ghosted in L.A. #10 (Grace, Le, Nesterenko) is the best of this series exaggerated to a ten: funny, melodramatic, exploring dark and traumatic issues with innuendos, gay, hot, and a roller coaster. Get ready cause there’s no way this won’t let you with your mouth wide open!
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #66
In Astonishing X-Men (2004) #66 (Liu, Pinna), the team shines a light on marginalized communities. This issue shows how our characters heal, enjoy, make community, in the face of traumatizing experiences, with a B-Side-movie-like subplot that surrounds it.
DetailsStar 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.
