The 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.
DetailsSpider-Man & Wolverine #6
is an exhausted epilogue to the initial first five issues of this title, giving its last-minute themes time to breathe in lieu of more well-rounded thematic structuring. #SpiderMan #Wolverine #MarvelComics
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #1
is a bold but uneven return for J. Michael Straczynski alongside Pere Perez, a debut issue rich with introspection but dense with its pacing in a way that harbors its ideas from striking harder in this first issue. #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
DetailsSpider-Man Noir #1
will not be the book every fan wanted for this cult-classic character, but Erik Larsen & Andrea Broccardo’s unique approach is still thoroughly entertaining. #SpiderMan #SpiderManNoir #MarvelComics
DetailsThe Amazing Spider-Man #13
continues the surprising hot-streak of Joe Kelly & Pepe Larraz new ‘Galactic Spider-Man’ saga with a fantastic pace and substantial thematic weight. @thatjoekelly @pepelarraz #SpiderMan #MarvelComics
