Spider-Man Noir #1: I Can Only Remind You Of Who You Are
Spider-Man Noir #1
Spider-Man Noir #1: Margaret Stohl stays true to its characters and sets up an effectively mysterious tone and story, with Juan Ferreyra’s art providing it with a rainy and jazzy visual soundtrack. With some of the greatest themes in Spider-Man present (like his need to do everything in his hands to help others), and some really sweet character interactions, the book promises a story that we’re eager to see unfold.

Punisher: Soviet #4 (of 6): The Girl Most Likely To
Punisher: Soviet Part 4 – A Girl With a Heart as Big as the Sky
Punisher: Soviet #4 (Ennis, Burrows, Ortego, Woodard) is a pretty downbeat affair, with huge swaths of exposition buttressed by compulsory action sequences. The art is flat and the writing seems to just be going through the motions. Everyone involved is better than this!

Batman Vs. Ra’s Al Ghul #4
Batman Vs. Ra’s Al Ghul #4 (Adams, Robins) is the best issue since #1, and by tying together some of the threads, it improves the story featured in the two issues that preceded it.

Star #2: Stomping Through the Fabric of Reality
Star #2
There is a lot in Star #2 (Thompson, Pina, Andrade, Arburtov) that is really well executed from the intense plotting to the stunning visuals, but the most intriguing aspect is just how much the issue pulls the reader in and makes them care for Ripley’s dire situation.
