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 PREACHER DIARIES, Chapter 5 (Ennis, Dillon, Hollingsworth): Dive into the back half of “Until the End of the World,” as Jesse Custer’s origin is concluded, God pops in for a quick resurrection, and everyone gets exactly what they deserve.
DetailsFlash #753 (Williamson, Porter, Peterson, Hi-Fi) ups the stakes considerably, and doesn’t let off the throttle as it speeds toward “Flash Age’s” conclusion. Been let down by the current lackluster season of the CW’s Flash? The real deal in comics form is the antidote!
DetailsAquaman – Deep Dives (DC Digital)
Marginal through and through, Aquaman – Deep Dives #1 (Orlando, Sampere, Albarran, Lucas) doesn’t give new readers much to be interested in or vintage Aquaman fans anything all that new or interesting to care about. The art is strong, but everything else is serviceable at best and forgettable at worst.
DetailsPREACHER DIARIES, Part 4: In which Jesse Custer has a bleak family reunion, the stakes are raised as high as they can be, and the world’s worst gran’ma makes sure everyone knows who’s in control. Plus: unresolved psychological trauma manifesting itself as macho manliness!
DetailsFlash – Fastest Man Alive #1 (DC Digital)
Witty, thoughtful, and fun, Flash – Fastest Man Alive #1 (Simone, Henry, Maiolo) is an excellent story for both new and old readers. Check it out now on DC Digital!
DetailsThe Preacher Diaries Part 3 (Ennis, Dillon, Hollingsworth, Fabry) takes the gang to the wilds of New York City, where they face a very different kind of monster than the one Jesse’s hunting for! Also: Face/off with the REAVER-CLEAVER!
DetailsThe Preacher Diaries Part 2! Discover the unforgettable Saint of Killers, Sheriff Hugo Root, and the unforgettable ARSEFACE! Plus: just where the heck is God, anyway?
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!
DetailsComic 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.
