Ivar, Timewalker #1-4
Originality meets hilarious sci-fi filled action in a story that questions not just time itself, but also your very own place in history! There is plenty of humor, but there is also tragedy, discovery, disappointment, and the hope for something greater that all help to give Ivar, Timewalker #1-4 (Van Lente, Henry, Reber, Sharpe) a sense of uniqueness.
DetailsTeen Titans #41 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) shows the writers of this book running on fumes, as “Djinn Wars” comes to a jaw-droppingly easy conclusion and the characters keep circling back to their inherent mistrust of Robin, who continues to be stuck in neutral right now as well, unable to admit his mistakes. A once-great book that has apparently run out of ideas, the art is stellar, but that’s about it.
DetailsJustice League Dark #22
Justice League Dark #22 (V, Tynion IV, Martinez Bueno, Nahuelpan, Fernandez, Chung, Leigh) finds strength in the exploration of humanity, the natural order of chaos and how we can influence it with our own story, getting right to the heart of what this entire series has been about. It’s a can’t miss issue for sure.
DetailsArchival Quality
Archival Quality (Weir, Steenz!) is the perfect example of writing and art complementing each other. A story about psychiatric survivorship gets wrapped in joyful, humane, relatable art in a way that perfectly represents that this book is gonna tell you a ghost story and a confessional story, and so much more. #CWPride
DetailsStar Trek: Year Five #11
Star Trek Year Five #11 (Lanzing, Kelly, Thompson, Keane, Kirchoff, Uyetake) will instantly take you back in time to 1968, as this issue reads and feels like an issue that was published fifty years ago. Great book!
DetailsAction Comics #1022
Action Comics #1022 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Miki, Anderson) continues to show how well Bendis and Romita Jr. work together. The dust is still settling since the previous issue, but a strange family reunion leaves Superman with more questions than answers.
DetailsALPHA FLIGHT #4 (1983)
Alpha Flight #4 (1983), (Byrne, Yanchus), tells a story of science fiction. Marrina’s origin revealed, but is it too late to save her from her captive’s torture? Someone is not thrilled about a secret love affair between two Alpha Flight members!
DetailsAquaman #59 (DeConnick, Rocha, Henriques) shifts and spins its narrative deftly, keeping readers off-balance as to who is responsible for Andy’s kidnapping. Don’t ask questions, just check out the best Aquaman run in years ASAP!
DetailsMYTHOS: X-Men #1
There is no getting around it, Mythos: X-Men #1 (Jenkins, Rivera, Caramagna) is frustratingly subpar. There just isn’t much to be gained aside from some enjoyable visuals that can’t be better substantiated by going back to the 1963 classic #1 issue this story is based on.
DetailsGreen Lantern Season Two #3
Green Lantern Season Two #3 (Morrison, Sharp, Orzechowski) continues the fun and adventurous one-and-done storytelling of the series so far, but Morrison’s script is brought down by so-so art by Liam Sharp, who handles art and colors this issue.
DetailsAvengers #33 (Aaron, Garron, Keith) pits Moon Knight against the Avengers… and prevailing?! Leaps of logic aside, this issue is a surprising amount of fun, setting the stage for a big mystery by baiting the narrative hook so well. This is a great place for readers to jump on if they haven’t already!
