Amazing Spider-Man #50
Join us this Sunday as we take a look back at the Amazing Spider-Man #50 (Lee, Romita, Sam Rosen). Peter Parker has had enough and therefore Spider-Man can no longer be. What will happen to the city now that there is no Spider-Man? Who will stop the Kingpin? The world needs Spider-Man!
DetailsWhat’s a lighthearted superhero romp is derailed by woefully inconsistent art in Flash: Fastest Man Alive #3 (Simone, Henry, Maiolo). Probably not spectacular enough to lure new readers in, and too basic to be of much interest to seasoned vets: this comic lands frustratingly in the middle, resting in the limbo of comics you forget almost as soon as you’re done reading them.
DetailsMetal Men #6
Metal Men #6 (Didio, Davis, Wright, Lanham) is an engrossing tale that brings a meaty realness to the Pinocchio trope, Davis and Didio take something that’s been done a million times and turns it on its ear to create something unique that truly draws you into the story.
DetailsFuture Fight Firsts: Crescent And Io #1
In just one comic, the creative team lays out the foundation for an entire character going forward in the Marvel Universe, something that isn’t easily done. Don’t miss out on Future Fight Firsts: Crescent And Io #1 (Wong, Lam, Alleyne, Sabino).
DetailsALPHA FLIGHT #3 (1983)
Alpha Flight #3 (1983), (John Byrne &Andy Yanchus) As the members of Alpha Flight fight desperately to rescue Marrina from the diabolical Master of the World, one of Aurora’s secrets gets the best of her and James Hudson takes on a new name.
DetailsStar Trek Captains Log – Jellico
Star Trek Captains Log – Jellico (DeCandido, Woodward): A reflection of the damage of protocol, codes, meritocracy and a vertical scheme that looks at the flaws in Starfleet’s ideals. An interesting read, whether or not you like, dislike or know much about the character, but that will be enrichened from that previous knowledge.
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #3
Swamp Thing: New Roots #3 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is consistent with it’s enjoyable characterizations, and there is just enough depth of plot to keep you coming back. It may not convince a new reader to jump into the series but it does push the story in interesting new directions and left me excited to come back for more.
DetailsSix Million DolTPB
Six Million Dollar Man in Japan TPB (Hastings, Hahn, Kurichiyanil, Maher, Davisson) is better than your average licensed comic. Better. Stronger. Faster.
DetailsFor the first time, the creative team of Lois Lane (Rucka, Perkins, Troy) comes up short in issue 10, larding this issue with unnecessary exposition for a character we barely know. It isn’t a complete disaster by any means, but is oddly out of character for such robust creators.
DetailsWolverine: Firebreak
Wolverine: Firebreak (Carey, Kolins, Baumann, Peteri) is the type of Wolverine story that will make you fall in love with the character all over again with it’s unique combination of heartfelt brutality.
DetailsCatwoman #21
Catwoman #21 (Jones, Blanco) gives us Zombies, a brutal conclusion, and a road trip that leaves us wanting more.
DetailsFor Molly #2
For Molly (Cheng, Sawyer) is proving itself an interesting story with a mythos that captivates and captures the reader. Going now in their Kickstarter for issue #3, this second one provides us worldbuilding and designs filled with expressiveness, emotion, and strength.
