Flash #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!
DetailsThe ethics of striking foes before they can attack is on full display in X-Force #10 (Percy, Cassara, Guru-eFX). This title continues to be the strongest of “Dawn of X,” and issues like this fully display why!
DetailsThe Boys: Dear Becky #2 (Ennis, Braun, Avina) starts getting down to business after last issue’s table-setting, and is all the stronger for it. Less knee-jerk over-the-top violence, and more intrigue and introspection make for a comic that, while not yet at can’t-miss status, definitely stands out on the shelves.
DetailsAquaman #60 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) continues this title’s recent winning streak as DC’s best book nobody is talking about. Mature, relateable, and down-to-earth, this comic is a can’t-miss for anyone looking for something more than standard superhero punch-’em-ups!
DetailsTeen Titans #42 (Thompson, Fernandez, Maiolo) is a fresh start with a hot new creative team that seems eager to give the book some much-needed focus. Grappling with the consequences of past mistakes, the team is poised to forge ahead, but with Damian still unwilling to admit his errors, can they?
DetailsFlash #756 (Williamson, Duce, Guerrero) kicks off the newest arc with more of an uninspired whimper than a bang, signaling that the creative team may be out of new or interesting ideas.
DetailsSex Criminals #29 (Fraction, Zdarsky) takes a deep and methodical look at coping with grief – and creates a minor masterpiece in the process.
DetailsIn the end, despite its half-hearted attempt at unreliable narration, Flash Annual #3 (Williamson, Segovia, Peterson, Pagulayan) just comes off as a cheap attempt to force some laughs that aren’t really there to begin with. Add to that three artists with clashing styles, and you have a highly skippable $4.99 comic.
DetailsThe Shit Hits the Fan!
Savage Dragon #249 (Larsen) brings the old-school, over the top action fans love, as villainy goes old-school and migrates to Toronto for an epic showdown in next month’s anniversary spectacular!
