Empyre Tie-ins
This week’s Empyre tie-ins flesh out the event as the action picks up, with the stand out being Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling #1.
DetailsStrange Adventures #3: Femme Fatale
Strange Adventures #3
Aside from some narrative oversights which drag the tale down to the merely passable, this is a deeply enjoyable read.
DetailsX-Men + Fantastic Four #4: A Parting Gift
X-Men + Fantastic Four #4
This book is a fun romp,painted in dayglow, with some unexpected answers buried in the seams.
DetailsEmpyre #2: Evil Takes Root
Empyre #2
As the Empyre saga continues, The Fantastic Four and The Avengers are destined to learn that with “fronds” like the Cotati, you don’t need enemies.
DetailsBatgirl #47: Don’t You Dare Laugh At Me
Batgirl #47
Batgirl #47 (Castellucci, Rodriguez, Bellaire, Andworld) makes clever use of the Joker War tie-in, but just doesn’t dive deep enough into the implications of the dramatic teamup to capitalize as successfully as possible, despite delivering plenty of awesome artwork.
DetailsEmpyre #1: We Have Met the Enemy…
Empyre #1
In Empyre #1 (Slott, Ewing, Schiti), the Fantastic Four and Avengers face a combined invasion of the Skrulls and the Kree on two different fronts—but no one is prepared for what happens.
DetailsBillionaire Island #3: It’s a Dog Eat World
Billionaire Island #3
Billionaire Island #3 (@AhoyComicMags @Manruss @stevepughcom) is the scariest book on the shelves today– a true horror story that shockingly resemebles the world we currently occupy.
DetailsAction Comics #1023: Red Cloud Unbound
Action Comics #1023
Action Comics #1023 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Janson, Anderson) is a fun issue with a couple of great moments that reminds you how well Bendis and Romita Jr. work together.
DetailsWOLVERINE #3 : I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends…
WOLVERINE #3
WOLVERINE #3 is an excellently written and superbly illustrated issue that shows Percy’s ability to make Wolverine a supremely interesting character beyond the stab and slash we know him for while the art team of Kubert, Martin, and Petit knock it out of the park!
DetailsJustice League Dark #24: Still Just a Lost Child
Justice League Dark #24
Justice League Dark #24 (V, Nahuelpan, Chung, Leigh) utilizes the emotional underpinnings of the team’s dynamics as they attempt to gather their forces, but it loses some of the narrative momentum in the process. Still, with consistently spectacular artwork it proves worth the read.
DetailsDaredevil #21: Always Wear Your Mask
Daredevil #21
Daredevil #21 (Zdarsky, Checchetto, Iacono, Cowles) is a fantastic issue that delivers many really powerful moments. This issue has the most bang for your buck that you’re gonna find this week.
DetailsHellions #2: Social Anxieties
Hellions #2
Hellions #2 (@zebwells @StephenSegovia @Davcuriel @corypetit) is a remarkable experiment in taking what shouldn’t work and making it sing.
