The Magnificent Mrs. Marvel #13
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #13 (Ahmed, Vasquez, Vlasco, Herring) gives us an intriguing new character in Amulet. However, due to its placement between a big arc and an even bigger cross-title event, it doesn’t seem to do much else.
DetailsGhost Rider #5
Ghost Rider #5 (Brisson, Frigeri, Keith, Caramagna) is packed with dark yet fantastic developments, but it’s the humanistic elements that continue to push the series into new depths. This is required reading for any fan of Ghost Rider!
DetailsConan The Barbarian #13
Conan The Barbarian #13 (Zub, Antonio, Silva): If you like colorful backdrops, well written stories, and exciting scenes then this is the Conan tale for you.
DetailsStrange Academy #1
Strange Academy #1 (Young, Ramos, & Delgado) creates a perfect entry point to the Marvel Universe for young, new readers. Fun characters and beautiful art make this an enjoyable read for anyone to pick up.
DetailsX-Men/Fantastic 4 #2
X-Men/Fantastic 4 #2 (Zdarsky, Dodson, Miller, Caramagna): This book perfectly balances complex themes and lighter tone to produce a story which is equal parts contemplative and deeply entertaining. When you add Dodson’s masterful art to the equation, you absolutely cannot miss.
DetailsGhost-Spider #7
Ghost-Spider #7 (McGuire, Guara, Herring) continues to entertain and mystify. With the addition of an alternate Sue and Johnny Storm what good go wrong? Oh yeah, The Maker is here too!
DetailsFantastic Four #19
Fantastic Four #19 (Slott, Izaakse, Menyz): In which the senses-stirring saga of planet Spyre and “The Four-Told” comes at last to a “Four-Gone” conclusion!
DetailsAtlantis Attacks #2
Atlantis Attacks #2 (Pak, Anindito, Gill, Rosenberg) gets a C for effort and a D- for execution.
DetailsX-Men #7: Out of Desire for Heaven
X-Men #7 (Hickman, Yu, Milla, Cowles): Uneven storytelling, and a seemingly egotistical desire on the part of the writer to cause furor among fans, lead to this being a controversial entry in the realm of X-Lore.
DetailsThe Immortal Hulk #28
The Immortal Hulk #28 (Ewing, Reilly, Bergara, O’Halloran, Petit) is a character study issue about a father and daughter. Not what you may have expected, but definitely a compelling story.
DetailsMachine Man 2020 #1
Machine Man 2020 #1 (Gage, MacDonald, Sanchez-Almara) does end up being a fun experience, even if it’s going to be a fairly short one.
DetailsAvengers #31
Avengers #31 (Aaron, Zaffino, Borges, Kudranski, Bazaldua, Gill, Iulis) may have some serious retcon issues involving Howard Stark that must be addressed at some point, and leaves far too many dangling plot threads to be considered a complete narrative, but there’s no denying the powerful character work put into Iron Man makes for some seriously compelling reading.
