John Constantine: Hellblazer #7
John Constantine: Hellblazer #7 brings Constantine to the docks to investigate some troubled waters, and it involves a mermaid. With an incredibly interesting story and brilliant art, this issue should not be missed.
DetailsFlash #756 (Williamson, Duce, Guerrero) kicks off the newest arc with more of an uninspired whimper than a bang, signaling that the creative team may be out of new or interesting ideas.
DetailsStar Wars Bounty Hunters #3
Star Wars Bounty Hunters #3 (Sacks, Villanelli, Prianto. Lanham) is a nail-biter as Bossk and company continue to search for the “team member” that betrayed them years ago. Great read!!
DetailsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #105
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #105 (Campbell, Pattison, Lee) With a new found love and admiration for each other, the gang gets together for a night of music and fun. The newly formed Splinter Clan has their plates full as cleaning up of Mutant Town begins.
DetailsBleed Them Dry #1
Bleed Them Dry #1 (Rahal, Ruan, Muerto, Andworld) is a book that will surprise many readers with its strong sense of worldbuilding and narrative pacing, but it’s the characters that will keep you coming back for more. For fans of vampires and dark mysteries, this is must read material!
DetailsThe Green Lantern Season Two #4
Green Lantern (Morrison, Sharpe, Oliff, Orzechowski) gets back into its groove with a madcap, Silver-Age tale featuring The Flash.
DetailsPeter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham #5
Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham #5 (Wells, Robson, Caramanga, Arciniega) is a fantastic last issue to wrap up a really entertaining series.
DetailsSex Criminals #29 (Fraction, Zdarsky) takes a deep and methodical look at coping with grief – and creates a minor masterpiece in the process.
DetailsJustice League Dark #23
Justice League Dark continues to impress in issue #23 (V, Tynion IV, Hotz, Chung, Leigh), maintaining a streak of momentum that makes this one of my most anticipated releases every month. It doesn’t lose track of the darker, more “out-there” elements that work so well with the team but it also never forgets to tell a solid superhero story.
DetailsJoin the Future #2
Join the Future is a series that feels both uniquely relevant and timeless in a way you just don’t see often. There is a coming of age story coming to fruition within an exploration of much grander societal shifts, and issue #2 (Kaplan, Kowalski, Simpson, Otsmane-Elhaou) delivers on all of these fronts and more.
DetailsUncanny X-Men (1961) #9
For #XMenMonday, we are reminded once again that #ProfessorXavierisaJerk! The X-Men meet the Avengers for the first time and of *course* they fight!
DetailsIn the end, despite its half-hearted attempt at unreliable narration, Flash Annual #3 (Williamson, Segovia, Peterson, Pagulayan) just comes off as a cheap attempt to force some laughs that aren’t really there to begin with. Add to that three artists with clashing styles, and you have a highly skippable $4.99 comic.
