Ghost Rider #3
Ghost Rider #3 (Brisson, Frigeri, Keith) is essentially one long setup for what’s to come. It’s an important issue to develop the overarching story, but it loses what made the first two issues so fun in the process.
DetailsGwenpool Strikes Back #4
While not perfect, I find Gwenpool Strikes Back #4 (Williams, Hastings, Baldeon, Aburtov) to be a coherent and enjoyable read. If the concept of the series is Gwen’s wacky hijinks, then it is hitting the mark. But with one issue to go, I’m losing hope for something more.
DetailsBatman and the Outsiders #8
Batman and the Outsiders #8 (Hill, Soy, Gandini, Cowles) is a great step in the right direction for the series, capturing a fundamental sense of heart for the team while entrenching them deeper in a dangerous mystery that is sure to explode at any moment.
DetailsThe Butcher of Paris #1
The Butcher of Paris #1 (Phillips, Kotz, Wordie, Peteri) sheds a terrifying light on a monster nearly lost to history and the limits of human empathy.
DetailsSuperman #18
Superman #18 (Bendis, Reis, Prado, Sinclair, Sharpe) reveals the Man of Steel’s identity to the DC Universe at large but what will the underlying impact to the character of Superman be as we move forward?
DetailsSpider-Verse #3
Spider-Verse #3 (MacKay, Ruan) takes us to a world where Spidey is a giant robot!!! And it stinks.
DetailsRed Hood: Outlaw #40
Red Hood: Outlaw #40 (Lobdell, Messina, Lokus, Peteri): There might be a clear direction for this, but I just don’t see it and honestly, you’d be better off skipping this one.
DetailsIn Lois Lane #6 (Rucka, Perkins, Eltaeb), General Sam Lane is dead… now we mourn. Rucka and Perkins deliver a bravura-force meditation on loss, mourning, and lack of closure.
DetailsDaredevil #14
Daredevil #14 (Zdarsky, Checchetto, Mobili) is a love letter to comics past. When gangsters were a legitimate threat and everything wasn’t all weird sci-fi!!
DetailsTales from the Dark Multiverse: The Judas Contract #1
Tales from the Dark Multiverse: The Judas Contract #1 (Higgins, Groom, Raney, Hi-Fi, Orzechowski) is an interesting take on the tale, but it lacks the same heart as the original story.
DetailsUNDISCOVERED COUNTRY #2
Undiscovered Country #2 (Snyder, Soule, Camuncolli, Orlandini, Milla, Crank) continues to be the perfect blend of brilliant character-driven, symbolism soaked writing combined with out of this world art!
DetailsArchie #709
Archie #709 (Spencer, Tamaki, Jarell) layers more mysteries onto the existing mysteries as we begin to wonder what Sabrina is doing in Riverdale after all.
