X-Men/Fantastic 4 #2
X-Men/Fantastic 4 #2 (Zdarsky, Dodson, Miller, Caramagna): This book perfectly balances complex themes and lighter tone to produce a story which is equal parts contemplative and deeply entertaining. When you add Dodson’s masterful art to the equation, you absolutely cannot miss.
DetailsGhost-Spider #7
Ghost-Spider #7 (McGuire, Guara, Herring) continues to entertain and mystify. With the addition of an alternate Sue and Johnny Storm what good go wrong? Oh yeah, The Maker is here too!
DetailsFantastic Four #19
Fantastic Four #19 (Slott, Izaakse, Menyz): In which the senses-stirring saga of planet Spyre and “The Four-Told” comes at last to a “Four-Gone” conclusion!
DetailsAtlantis Attacks #2
Atlantis Attacks #2 (Pak, Anindito, Gill, Rosenberg) gets a C for effort and a D- for execution.
DetailsX-Men #7: Out of Desire for Heaven
X-Men #7 (Hickman, Yu, Milla, Cowles): Uneven storytelling, and a seemingly egotistical desire on the part of the writer to cause furor among fans, lead to this being a controversial entry in the realm of X-Lore.
DetailsThe Immortal Hulk #28
The Immortal Hulk #28 (Ewing, Reilly, Bergara, O’Halloran, Petit) is a character study issue about a father and daughter. Not what you may have expected, but definitely a compelling story.
DetailsMachine Man 2020 #1
Machine Man 2020 #1 (Gage, MacDonald, Sanchez-Almara) does end up being a fun experience, even if it’s going to be a fairly short one.
DetailsAvengers #31
Avengers #31 (Aaron, Zaffino, Borges, Kudranski, Bazaldua, Gill, Iulis) may have some serious retcon issues involving Howard Stark that must be addressed at some point, and leaves far too many dangling plot threads to be considered a complete narrative, but there’s no denying the powerful character work put into Iron Man makes for some seriously compelling reading.
DetailsAmazing Spider-Man #40
Amazing Spider-Man #40 (Spencer, Coello, Carlos, Reber, Pantazis, Caramagna) fun and excited made into physical form and stapled in the middle.
DetailsAnt-Man #2
Ant Man #2 (Wells, Burnett, Spicer, Petit) continues a full-throttle, f-ant-astic, can’t miss adventure. Filled with laughs and thrills, its largest flaw is how quickly it’s going to be over.
DetailsX-Force #8
X-Force #8 (Percy, Bazaldua, Guru-eFX, Caramagna) is a solid issue in a series that continues to find emotional depth in tales of blood and violence.
DetailsDaredevil #18
Daredevil #18 (Zdarsky, Fornes, Woodard) is a thrill-ride from front to back. It’s not quite there, but this comic is on the way back to being Daredevil again.
