Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5
Ultimately, Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5 (David, Land, Leisten, D’Armata) is a fun, though somewhat flawed conclusion to this miniseries. It doesn’t necessarily earn the “symbiote” part of its title, but is a pretty unobtrusively great Spidey yarn nonetheless.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Legends of the Dark Knights #1
Please do not buy Dark Nights: Death Metal – Legends of the Dark Knights unless you have the disposable income to do so. It isn’t worth your time or hard-earned money, unless you’re a hardcore completist. There are moments of fun, but they’re lost in the deluge.
DetailsFlash #758 (Williamson, Duce, Kolins, Guerrero, Hi-Fi) throws everything, the kitchen sink, and Barry Allen’s long-forgotten future kids into the mix, trying to stir the pot and make “Legion of Zoom” interesting. It doesn’t succeed. Williamson’s run is suddenly running on fumes, his usual big ideas relegated to also-ran tropes that readers have seen countless times before.
DetailsChu #1 (Layman, Boultwood) is an awesome return to the world of Chew! Meet Saffron, Tony Chu’s little sister – she’s a criminal. He’s a cop. Collision course? You bet! Don’t sleep on this one!
DetailsHaven’t checked out Teen Titans in awhile? #43 (Thompson, Merino, Ferreira, Maiolo) is a helluva starting point. Things are getting dark for the team, and that couldn’t be better for readers.
DetailsAquaman #61 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) is that rarest of gems: a comic that arrives with no fanfare and is utterly flawless in its execution from start to finish. Don’t miss out on the best Aquaman in a quarter-century.
DetailsAvengers #34 (Aaron, Garron, Keith) is a near-perfect combination of big ideas and gut-check execution, throwing readers for a loop right from the jump and not letting off the throttle until the last page. If you’ve been away from this book for any reason, NOW is the time to come back!
DetailsAll secrets are exposed in Lois Lane #12 (Rucka, Perkins, Troy), the quietly explosive series finale. If you haven’t checked out this series before now, it’s time to treat yourself to an adult, subversive comic that isn’t afraid to treat its readers like they have intelligence!
DetailsFlash #757 (Williamson, Sandoval, Tarragona) rips, roars, and races as Barry Allen is confronted by his greatest foes at once – but the real mystery is the one the one that goes all the way back to DC: Rebirth #1! If you’ve been waiting for answers to the fateful night when Wally West returned, DO NOT miss this series!
DetailsThere’s no two books like Savage Dragon, and issues like #250 (Larsen, Koutsis, Toris) prove why: brilliant, brutal, and even heartfelt execution from start to finish, where even the backup stories are as great as the lead one. Not a single page feels wasted. In an era of ever-increasing single comic prices, this is one that is indisputably worth the cost.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #2 (Snyder, Capullo, Glapion, Plascencia) is, quite simply, the head-bangingest, most joyously over-the-top epic solo of a comic we’ve all been waiting for in a summer bereft of big popcorn movie fun! DO NOT MISS THIS!
DetailsWonder Woman #758 (Orlando, Lupacchino, McCarthy) is a textbook example on how to tell a fantastic, character-defining story about a given lead character. It’s a shame we won’t get anymore from this creative team, so enjoy this issue with everything you’ve got!
