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 Moon Knight begins to shine in Avengers #35 (Aaron, Garron, Keith), the latest installment of “Age of Khonshu.” If you like your superhero popcorn epics big, bold, and willing to be a little silly, this is without a doubt a book for you!
DetailsSex Criminals #30 (Fraction, Zdarsky)moves into deep philosophical territory for its penultimate issue, delivering a unique and moving reading experience like no other. This is a series that deserves to be talked about and studied for years to come.
DetailsFlash #759 (Williamson, Sandoval, Kolins, Terragona, Prianto, Hi-Fi) is a gem of a comic, with intense stakes and a sense of urgency that propels the narrative along at a full sprint from start to finish. But it’s also a celebration of what makes the Flash unique – and one of the greatest heroes of all time.
DetailsMaestro #1 (David, Peralta, Keown) is no mere nostalgia trip. It’s a dark, masterful look into the psyche of Marvel’s most powerful force, and the world that ultimately forces him to become the worst, most vile version of himself. This is a stunner of a comic with a huge legacy to fulfill, and it more than does so as the entire creative team rises to the challenge – and then some.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #3
Dark Nights: Death Metal #3 (Snyder, Capullo, Glapion, Plascencia) continues this miniseries’ win streak, delivering both huge, fun action beats with a loving and smart love letter to DC’s storied past. Even if you haven’t read any of the lead-up, this series is not to be missed.
DetailsSymbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5
Ultimately, Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5 (David, Land, Leisten, D’Armata) is a fun, though somewhat flawed conclusion to this miniseries. It doesn’t necessarily earn the “symbiote” part of its title, but is a pretty unobtrusively great Spidey yarn nonetheless.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Legends of the Dark Knights #1
Please do not buy Dark Nights: Death Metal – Legends of the Dark Knights unless you have the disposable income to do so. It isn’t worth your time or hard-earned money, unless you’re a hardcore completist. There are moments of fun, but they’re lost in the deluge.
DetailsFlash #758 (Williamson, Duce, Kolins, Guerrero, Hi-Fi) throws everything, the kitchen sink, and Barry Allen’s long-forgotten future kids into the mix, trying to stir the pot and make “Legion of Zoom” interesting. It doesn’t succeed. Williamson’s run is suddenly running on fumes, his usual big ideas relegated to also-ran tropes that readers have seen countless times before.
DetailsChu #1 (Layman, Boultwood) is an awesome return to the world of Chew! Meet Saffron, Tony Chu’s little sister – she’s a criminal. He’s a cop. Collision course? You bet! Don’t sleep on this one!
DetailsHaven’t checked out Teen Titans in awhile? #43 (Thompson, Merino, Ferreira, Maiolo) is a helluva starting point. Things are getting dark for the team, and that couldn’t be better for readers.
DetailsAquaman #61 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) is that rarest of gems: a comic that arrives with no fanfare and is utterly flawless in its execution from start to finish. Don’t miss out on the best Aquaman in a quarter-century.
DetailsAvengers #34 (Aaron, Garron, Keith) is a near-perfect combination of big ideas and gut-check execution, throwing readers for a loop right from the jump and not letting off the throttle until the last page. If you’ve been away from this book for any reason, NOW is the time to come back!
