Grimm Fairy Tales #37: The Beginning of a New Universe
Grimm Fairy Tales #37
Grimm Fairy Tales #37 is an issue that unravels rather quickly as things just keep getting worse and worse for Skye. It’s exciting and fast paced with a dark edge, but hopefully the finale makes it all worthwhile!

The Boys: Dear Becky #1 (of 4): Out of Touch
The Boys: Dear Becky #1 (Ennis, Braun, Avina) is a comic that feels ripped from a bygone era, and whether or not readers can stomach it given the world’s current climate is going to be a personal choice. The Boys remains as brutal and uncaring as ever, but now lacks the wink and sense of fun the original run had. And perhaps that, too, is a reflection of the times.

Sunday Classics: Black Panther #1 (1977): The Brass Frog is Yours!
Black Panther #1 (1977)
Join us this Sunday morning for a look back at Black Panther #1 from 1977! In his very first ongoing series, Black Panther comes to life with Jack Kirby, Mike Royer and Dave Hunt at the helm for a story that many are now likely to find a bit strange thanks to a Brass Frog and its impact on time, but captures the essence of how fun comics of this era were.

Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1
Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 (Simone, Miranda, Kalisz, Lanham) leans heavily on great characterizations for a story that knows how to have a good time, but lacks the impact necessary to elevate the series beyond casual fun.

Swamp Thing: New Roots #6

It’s a wonderful twist that will have you thinking about this book long after reading it.
