DetailsInvisible Kingdom #10
Invisible Kingdom #10 (Wilson, Ward, Cipriano) is a beautifully painted finish examining and celebrating rebirth in a multitude of forms — including one particularly beautiful queer one.
DetailsYear of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3
All things taken equally, Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3 (Tynion IV, Epting, Fernandez, Filardi) isn’t a bad comic per se. But it is a step back from the slam-bang fisticuffs of previous installments. There’s some great interplay between Joker and Lex, and the table is set for the (supposedly) final throwdown with the Batman Who Laughs. It’s a table-setting issue, which is fine, but it is dragged down by inconsistent art. It’s a table-setting issue, which is fine, but it is dragged down by inconsistent art.
DetailsForce Works 2020 #1
Force Works 2020 #1 (Rosenberg, Ramirez, Blee) sets this series off on the right foot. Do whatever you can in your power to make this someone’s first comic.
DetailsVampirella #8
The plot deepens in Vampirella #8 (Priest, Timpano, Gunduz, Schubert), a book that proves Priest is weaving a complex tale bringing in many different aspects of Vampirella’s origins while taking the character in a fresh new direction that isn’t afraid to take chances.
DetailsBatman/Superman #7
Batman/Superman #7 (Williamson, Derington, McCraig, Hill) was a lot of fun and I’m excited for what the next few issues will bring, especially when titans like Ra’s al Ghul and Zod clash!
DetailsBlack Panther and the Agents of Wakanda #7
Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda #7 (Zub, Medina, Yeung, Menyz, Sabino) is deceptively entertaining with a last page reveal that will have about 110% of comic fans cheering!
DetailsStrange Adventures #1
Strange Adventures #1 (King, Gerads, Shaner, Cowles): If you’re in the mood for some complex, surprisingly astute analysis of western colonialism wrapped in a patina of 1940’s all-American pulp, pick up the first issue of Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ Strange Adventures. It’s well worth the cover price.
DetailsThe 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.
DetailsThough not quite the profound statement it wants to be on all things Flash (though it comes close!), issue 750 (Williamson, Sandoval, Segovia, & so many more) of this legendary title is still a wonderful testament to the staying power of its titular hero, his legacy, and what the future holds. Spoiler: it’s coming at you faster than light!
DetailsKing of Nowhere #1
King of Nowhere #1 (Prince, Jenkins, Jenkins, AndWorld Design) is a promising beginning to a darkly funny, mysterious, and pleasantly off-kilter miniseries.
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!
