Black Cat #8
is focused on setting the table for its true conflict, holding the audience over with charming art and dialogue that, thankfully, builds up to something that is thematically richer than what readers were initially led to believe. #BlackCat #Venom #MarvelComics
DetailsSirens: Love Hurts #2
keeps up the momentum of its first issue, continuing to balance out its dual-faced tones with a group of characters that are grow more endearing with each page turn. #Sirens #DCComics
DetailsThe Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1
With smart genre subversion and layered character writing, The Exorcism at Buckingham Palace #1 is rife with atmosphere and emotion that lead the reader down a road only our closest demons are willing to travel. @IDWPublishing
DetailsProctor Volume 1
If you missed out on its initial launch last year, its high time you check out Harpoon Creative Industries’ ‘Proctor’, a contemporary tale of youth and the supernatural from Carmen Costa & Riccardo Cecchi.
DetailsIceman: Omega #1
Iceman: Omega #1 is a fine release that suffers from poor communication of its nature as a collection of Marvel Infinite reprints. What’s here is fine in the context of quick fix reading, but the weakness of its format really shines when given the direct market treatment.
DetailsNarco #1
is an engaging first chapter in a story made so by its purposeful lack of expository information. With charming characters as its backbone and a simple, yet effective art style, this issue was surprisingly cozy read! @Doug_Wagner @ImageComics
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man #23
Death Spiral continues to take shape in this week’s Amazing Spider-Man #23, continuing to layer its story at a slowed pace, giving room to every major plot line in this crossover to breathe. #SpiderMan #Venom #DeathSpiral #MarvelComics
DetailsDaredevil #183
Reprinted just in time for its anniversary, #Daredevil #183 marks the debut of an iconic conflict between 2 of Marvel’s greatest characters. Join us as we dive into the first half of one of Frank Miller’s most important works of superhero fiction to date.
DetailsIron Man #2
slows down as it works to better thread the broken pieces of Tony Stark and Whitney Frost’s relationship into the core narrative of this first arc. @Williamson_Josh @CarmenCarnero #IronMan #MarvelComics
DetailsAmazing Spider-Man/Venom: Death Spiral #1
is the culmination of almost a year’s worth of stories spanning the pages of multiple titles, calling for the unification of a publishing line that has grown fundamentally disparate in recent years. #SpiderMan #Venom #MarvelComics
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man #22
Without the fanfare of anything conclusive, The Amazing Spider-Man #22 is a flat bookend to Peter’s journey home, its potential cut short by a willingness to play things mellow as we find ourselves barrelling towards the crossover event Death Spiral.
DetailsCaptain America #7
continues marching toward Armageddon with an intricately layered political exploration of a country left swirling in a post-fascist state, Steve Rogers the only point of authority interested in the human beings under threat of gluttonous power structures.
