Dark 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
DetailsThe Scumbag #1
The Scumbag #1 ( @Remender @lewislarosa @MorenoDinisio @ruswooton) is a profane, gnarly, gut-bustingly hilarious look at a world whose fate is in the hands of the absolute worst person on it. Ernie Ray Clementine may not be anyone’s idea of a hero, but he’s got the job whether he wants it or not (though he’d rather just roll a joint).#ImageComics
Details“Doom Metal” finds its mid-tempo groove in Justice League #55 ( @Williamson_Josh Robson Rocha @DHenriquesinks @rfajardojr) , leaning strongly into the inherent strengths of its quest-style story and really running wild with them to great effect. Strong characterization and crisp, detailed art bring it all home. Don’t miss out on this one!
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Robin King #1 ( @PeterJTomasi @rileyrossmo1 @ivanplascencia Rob Leigh) takes its title character and fleshes him out in surprising and even nuanced ways. Amid the unhinged terror this tween wonder unleashes without even trying, there’s a character worth caring about! Come for the carnage, stay for the new favorite villain.
DetailsFlash #763 (Shinick, Henry, Maiolo, Wands) is a hollow, forgettable reading experience. From a paper-thin plot to hackneyed emotional beats to art that just doesn’t work, this is one to skip from start to finish.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #4
Dark Nights: Death Metal #4 ( @Ssnyder1835 @GregCapullo @jonathanglapion) finds itself spinning its wheels a bit narratively when it should be charging ahead full-speed. It isn’t a bad issue per se, but it does feel a bit like the story is stuck in neutral. #dccomics
