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!
Criminal #12 (Brubaker, Phillips): “Cruel Summer” comes to a stark, gut-wrenching conclusion, bringing the current volume of Criminal to a close and with it, many of the book’s over-arching subplots. A master class in sequential storytelling, it’s almost a cliche to say about this book at this point that comic’s don’t get any better than this.
DetailsAvengers #30 (Aaron, McGuinness, Manna) brings “Starbrand Reborn” to its rip-roaring conclusion, as a new cosmic power is born and the creative team brings its A-game!
DetailsUndiscovered Country #3
Undiscovered Country #3 (Snyder, Soule, Camuncoli, Orlandini) continues this title’s win streak, upping the ante and adding a whole new layer of mystery to the tale. Far and away one of the best titles on the stands – DO NOT miss out on this one!
DetailsYear of the Villain: Hell Arisen #2 (of 4)
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #2 (Tynion IV, Epting, Fernandez) is more fun than a barrelful of demonic monkeys! You want some hot villain-on-villain action, look no further!
DetailsHellmouth #4
Hellmouth #4 (Bellaire, Lambert, Carlini): What should have been a huge moment – Buffy discovering that Angel is a vampire – feels weightless, which is an apt of a description for this threadbare miniseries as I can think of.
DetailsAquaman #56 (Higgins, Lopresti, Ryan) defies the odds and proves that a fill-in issue can be not only fun but also expand upon the regular creative team’s ongoing story and themes.
DetailsWonder Woman #750
The landmark Wonder Woman #750 (Orlando, Merino, various) has arrived, and it couldn’t be a better celebration of the iconic character!
DetailsIt’s the Flash versus King Cold – FINAL ROUND!! in Flash #86 (Williamson, Sandoval, Taragona), the conclusion of “Rogues’ Reign!”
DetailsWill Robin succumb to his own worst instincts and ascend to become the Other? Will Roundhouse gain his redemption after his misguided betrayal? Find out in Teen Titans #38 (Glass, Chang, Hanna)!
DetailsMore awesomely over-the-top shenanigans than you can shake a Brood at are rife throughout Avengers #29 (Aaron, McGuinness, Morales, Medina) as “Starbrand Reborn” reaches its penultimate chapter!
DetailsLegion of Super-Heroes #3
The future is starting to come apart at the seams in Legion of Super-Heroes #3 (Bendis, Sook, Moore, Bellaire) as interplanetary war begins to percolate amidst the search for Aquaman’s trident! All this and Robin, too – who is NOT welcome!
DetailsIn Buffy #11 (Bellaire, Lopez, Angulo), all of the Slayer’s friends and frenemies come together at last – just in time for newly-minted Slayer Kendra to hit the scene as “Hellmouth” hits its penultimate chapter!
