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!
Aquaman #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.
DetailsJustice League #56 ( @Williamson_Josh, Rocha, @DHenriquesinks @rfajardojr @TENapolitano), “Doom Metal” part four is a heckuva lot of fun, bolstered by stellar art and a fun story with strong emotional beats. It may not be high art, but it’s fun, and that’s what counts more than anything else! #dccomics
DetailsAmazing Spider-Man #51 (Spencer, @patrick_gleason @delgaduck @JoeCaramagna) hits all the right notes, start to finish. Art, story, and dialogue combine pretty much flawlessly to deliver a chilling tale that gets right to the heart of Spider-Man as a character, and use that heart against him relentlessly!
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Rise of the New God #1 ( @JamesTheFourth @hilluminati Merino, Cifuentes, Verella) zigs where it’s expected to zag and delivers a surprisingly heartfelt meta-commentary on what makes the DCU so great instead a banal cosmic throwdown. Highly recommended, even if you haven’t been reading this story! #dccomics
DetailsBatman: Three Jokers #3
Batman: Three Jokers #3 ( @geoffjohns @JasonFabok @bdanderson13 Leigh) is a master class in sequential art storytelling that dares to tread on some extremely sacred ground to bring its mystery home, and succeeds. DO NOT miss this comic! #dccomics
