I have been reading comics since I was eleven - over a quarter-century! I love them as an art form as well as the characters, and want to see them continue to grow as a respectable medium. It's my humble honor and privilege to act as editor-in-chief of Comic Watch!
The Multiverse Who Laughs
Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Multiverse Who Laughs #1 is a hodgepodge of great creative talent given free reign to create an anthology that should be a whirlwind of psychotic fun but instead falls flat. No real reason to justify its steep cost exists.
DetailsSupernatural
SUPERNATURAL has concluded with the superb “Carry On.” Get your hankies ready, because this one is gonna bring on the ugly cry.
DetailsSymbiote Spider-Man: King in Black #1 (David, Land, Leisten, D’Armata, Sabino) gets Marvel’s next big event rolling with a prequel series that brings a huge cast of disparate characters together, but makes the set-up intriguing enough that it’s hard not to get sucked into the fun. #MarvelComics
DetailsCable #6 (@GerryDuggan @philnoto @JoeSabino) brings the emotional thunder in X of Swords chapter 19. Things look crushingly bleak, but a surprise twist may yet turn the tide… #Marvel #XMen #XofSwords
DetailsAquaman #65 (@kellysue @Mikemaluk @rfajardojr @ClaytonCowles) brings Kelly Sue DeConnick’s run to a pitch-perfect close, raising the bar for all future writers to nearly-impossible highs. This is the run to beat! Hats off to everyone involved. #DCComics
DetailsTeen Titans #47 brings the current volume to a satisfying close, planting seeds for future stories and hopefully ensuring that none of the new characters introduced disappear for too long. #DCComics @rthompson1138 @javierfdezart Maolo Leigh
DetailsJustice League #57 (@Williamson_Josh Xermanico @rfajardojr @TENapolitano) brings “Doom Metal” to an optimistic close, with stellar art and a sense that everything might just be okay in the end. #DCComics
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #5 turns a corner from unrelenting bleakness to, at last, hope. The creative team is crushing all expectations, proving once & for all what an event comic SHOULD be! @SSnyder1835 @GregCapullo Glapion Plascencia @TENapolitano
DetailsHawkman #29 ( @robertvenditti Pasarin, Albert) brings the current volume to a close, soaring to heights many thought impossible. It may feel like a premature conclusion in light of the book’s sad cancellation but the closure brought is very real. #DCComics
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Infinite Hour Exxxtreme!
Dark Nights: Death Metal – Infinite Hour Exxxtreme! #1 (@FrankTieri @samhumphries @TylerKirkhamArt @DenysCowan @sinKEVitch) is the ridiculous romp we didn’t even know we needed. Come for the fraggin’ good time, stay for the laughs. #DCComics
DetailsAvengers #38 ( @jasonaaron @ed_mcguinness @mark_morales11 Keith @corypetit) highlights all of the strengths of the current run: big, sweeping ideas and huge action scenes coupled with well-crafted, intimate character beats. If you’ve been unsure about this title, now is the time to jump on! #MarvelComics
DetailsTales from the Dark Multiverse: Hush
Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Hush #1 (Johnson, Soy, Plascencia) is a mixed bag of too many ideas and too little space to properly flesh them out. Not a bad comic by any means, but perhaps not what readers will be expecting.
