DetailsNo Heroine Part 1: Kayla Strong
No Heroine #1 (Gogol, Madd, Madd) asks the question, “What if Buffy was a recovering heroin addict?” and lets the sparks fly from there! A wonderful, engaging self-published work, this comic and its creators deserve your attention!
Details
Comic Watch’s own Matt Meyer recounts the history of DC/Vertigo’s PREACHER, in the first chapter of this multipart look back!
DetailsThe End: Part 3
Weird, complex, and emotionally resonant as ever, Sex Criminals #28 (Fraction, Zdarsky) brings the story to a narrative climax at last! With only two issues to go, the creative team is still firing on all cylinders!
DetailsPunisher: Soviet #6
Though more quiet and even introspective than was to be expected, Punisher: Soviet #6 (Ennis, Burrows, Ortega, Woodard) is a haunting read that will stay with readers for awhile to come after finishing. Though this hasn’t been an even miniseries, the creative team goes out strong for the finale!
DetailsExceedingly poor art further hampers an ill-conceived filler issue in Wonder Woman #754 (Orlando, Melnikov, Fajardo Jr). Suitable for completists only; all other comers would do well to save their money and time.
DetailsLegion of Super-Heroes #5
Legion of Super-Heroes #5 (Bendis, Sook Godlewski, von Grawbadger, Bellaire) finally starts to snap the series’ narrative into focus, as the past and present collide in some particularly intriguing ways.
DetailsFlash #752 (Williamson, Porter, Hi-Fi) slows down just a hair and gives its protagonist some space to breathe… in Heaven? Things aren’t what they seem, but just because the story has swerved into new territory, doesn’t mean “Flash Age” should be missed!
DetailsEnough praise cannot be heaped on just how great the current Aquaman run is, and issue #58 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) is no exception. Character-first, subtle, and with wholly gorgeous art, this book is quietly one of DC’s best right now.
DetailsAlthough normally a reliably entertaining title, Teen Titans #40 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) chooses to play it far too safe and winds up being an exercise in banality instead. The art team saves it from being a complete wash, at least.
DetailsSymbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #4
Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #4 (David, Land, Leisten) is the kind of comic that reads well enough, isn’t overtly bad by any means, but winds up being forgotten almost as soon as it’s finished being read.
