The Amazing Spider-Man #17
marks a major step in Peter’s emotional reconciliation with his defeat by Hellgate, and cements this run as one of my favorites on the title since Superior Spider-Man wrapped up over a decade ago. @thatjoekelly @PepeLarraz #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsUltimate Spider-Man #23
is a solid penultimate chapter, given the conditions of the series’ unfortunate ending next month. It delivers high thrills with great art and a pace that manages to cover as much narrative ground as possible. #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsDaredevil / Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #1
Daredevil / Punisher: The Devil’s Trigger #1 may not be spectacular, but it is a well-rounded return to the classic dilemma of morality that has defined the relationship between these two Marvel Knights for years now.
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man #16
continues to explore themes of self-realization and moral autonomy within a series defined by the give and take of secret identities that is repetitive to a fault, but still an engaging thesis nonetheless. #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #2
retreats from the weighted melodrama of the first issue into a weightless new villain, with art that fails to make an understated script sing. #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsBatman #162
continues HUSH 2 after months of delay, which must have been due to Jim Lee’s artwork because the script reads as the microwaved remains of a manufactured marketing ploy. #Batman #H2sh #DCComics
DetailsBatman #3
Batman #3 continues a run that lives up to a standard of modernity established for the character back in 2016 with a mess of ideas that can’t find a light of their own to shine with. #Batman #DCComics
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man #15
is ripe with developing character relationships, fantastic action, and moral dilemmas that are rendered to a new level of visual excellence by Emilio Laiso. @thatjoekelly #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsShelby Oaks
Without a clearer sense of purpose or identity, all of the merit Shelby Oaks earns in its opening moments is squandered. There’s plenty to admire in Stuckmann’s debut, but for all its borrowed power, it never quite finds a heartbeat of its own. #shelbyoaks
DetailsChainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is simply one of the best films of its ilk, a deeply human tale of heart & horror that will leave you breathless. Mappa continues to elevate an already masterful series beyond what was thought possible. #chainsawman #anime
DetailsSpringsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere almost nails what could have been one of the best musician biopics in recent memory but stumbles in its scripting just enough to keep it from crossing that line between good and brilliant. #Springsteen
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man #14
While a pleasant space to live in, The Amazing Spider-Man #14 continues to spin the wheel on both Norman and Ben Reily’s respective character progressions as they live out the life of their greatest foil.
