Big Girls #1: A Femin-ish Kaiju Crisis
Big Girls #1
In Big Girls #1 (Howard, Fonografiks), 300-foot-tall Ember fights against the patriarchy-as-kaiju. Yet, Howard’s bioessentialist metaphor is battling itself, as is his striking yet simultaneously underwhelming art. One can only hope Big Girls comes into its own with time.

Space Bear OGN: Getting Kids (And Adults) Hooked On Comics
Space Bear OGN
Space Bear (Young) may be silent, but it has a big story to tell. It’s a vibrant, charming sci-fi about communication and compassion that offers children a chance to learn, while giving comic-loving adults a way to share a medium they love. It’s also plain good fun.
DetailsTartaus #4: Lives Hanging In The Balance
Tartarus #4
In Tartarus #4 (Christmas, Cole, and Campbell), every character is forced to question what sacrifices are worth making. For readers, it’s more than worth sacrificing $4 and an hour of one’s day to read such a beautifully executed book.

Ant-Man #5: Reaching Our Final Pest-ination
Ant-Man #5
Ant-Man #5 (Wells, Burnett, Spicer, Petit) is a larger-than-life finish to a playful and striking miniseries. Not as comedic as its first issue, or emotionally hefty as its fourth (R.I.P. Pam), it’s nonetheless a satisfying, fast-paced page-turner.

The Ludocrats #1: Sirs, You Are Being Wicked
The Ludocrats #1
The Ludocrats (Gillen, Rossignol, Stokely, Bonvillain, Cowles) is gratuitously violent, artistically inspired, fourth-wall-obliterating, steampunk/fantasy Saturday-morning-cartoon-meets-Asterix for people who love profanity. Is it ludicrous? Most definitely. Is it funny? That’s subjective.

Ant-Man #4: Big Bangs and Tiny Tragedies
Ant-Man #4
Ant-Man #4 (Wells, Burnett, Spicer, Petit) may be stuck on the web, but it’s as thoroughly vibr-ant and ant-ertaining as ever.

Crowded #12: It’s A Dog-Eat-Dog World
Crowded #12
Crowded #12 (Sebela, Stein, Brandt, Farrell, Rae) is a flawlessly executed finale of an exceptional second arc. It’s a mystery where everyone’s favorite queer rom-com near-future thriller is taking us, but it can’t arrive soon enough.

The Red Mother #4: Daisy’s Daily Grind
The Red Mother #4
The Red Mother #4 (Haun, Luckert, Dukeshire) remains haunting and, at moments, striking, but its predictable narrative structure and artistic shortcomings can get in the way of an otherwise creepy and compelling story.
