Empyre #4
In Empyre #4 (Slott, Ewing, Schiti), it’s a Human Torch/Captain Marvel team-up. But the Fantastic Four and Avengers don’t necessarily know who their friends are. Plus: the surprise wedding of the century!
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #3
Dark Nights: Death Metal #3 (Snyder, Capullo, Glapion, Plascencia) continues this miniseries’ win streak, delivering both huge, fun action beats with a loving and smart love letter to DC’s storied past. Even if you haven’t read any of the lead-up, this series is not to be missed.
DetailsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual 2020
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual 2020 (Waltz, Gorham, Rauch, Garland, Lee) Connecting the pieces since City at War, TMNT Annual 2020 takes you on a ride through the sewers and the streets and…wait, is that the Rat King?
DetailsLegion of Super-Heroes #7
Legion of Super-Heroes #7 (Bendis, Sook & von Grawbadger, Byrne, Bellaire, Sharpe) delivers another pretty but otherwise inessential issue, filled with talking heads and little forward plot movement.
DetailsStar Trek Year Five #13
Star Trek Year Five #13 (Lanzing, Kelly, Hernandez, Gamboa, Uyetake) put the pedal to the metal just as the Enterprise’s five-year voyage is coming to its final stop.
DetailsAmethyst #4
Amethyst #4 (Reeder, Louise, Downie): Amy Reeder’s art and how it relates to the emotional narrative highlights this story every time, and it’s what ultimately makes it appealing, engaging, mesmerizing, and a story worth following, even if it sometimes gets lost in its main conflict.
DetailsHarley Quinn Black + White + Red #7
Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #7 (Henderson, Downie) is another strong entry with enjoyable artwork that falters just slightly in relying on the well trodden path of Harley’s relationship difficulties for a predictable story.
DetailsAtomic Victory Squad #3
Atomic Victory Squad #3 (Dean, Caba, Myers) The gang has their hands full and must come up with a plan to defeat Ridando and they must do it quickly! Although their celebration is going smoothly Invincibull in his infinite wisdom knows there’s something behind the curtain.
DetailsJustice league #50
The writing for Justice League #50 (Spurrier, Lopresti, Ryan) is superb, and the twists, while familiar, add layers of depth!
DetailsSymbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5
Ultimately, Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #5 (David, Land, Leisten, D’Armata) is a fun, though somewhat flawed conclusion to this miniseries. It doesn’t necessarily earn the “symbiote” part of its title, but is a pretty unobtrusively great Spidey yarn nonetheless.
DetailsStrange Adventures #4
Adroit art is, in Strange Adventures #4 (King, Shaner, Gerads), unfortunately shackled to a grinding cog of a story. Let’s hope that this is merely a workmanlike pause in the artistry, rather than the whole of the story.
DetailsFire Power #1 & #2
There’s no doubts about it, Kirkman, Samnee, Wilson and Wooton solidified the fact that they have a new hit on their hands with the release of Fire Power #1 and #2. It’s well worth your time and money!
