Captain America: The End
Captain America: The End #1 (Larsen, Sanchez-Almara, Caramagna) is a full-force Kirby homage and a heckuva good time – assuming readers are down with that Kirby magic. Otherwise, modern readers might feel it’s a bit dated.
DetailsPeter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham #2
Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham (Wells, Robson, Arciniega) #2 takes readers somewhere that everyone wants to go….a better place.
DetailsSuicide Squad #2
Suicide Squad #2 (Taylor, Redondo, Lucas, Abbott) delivers a fresh new Squad that feels more like a classic Suicide Squad story than anything in recent history.
DetailsDarth Vader #1: Dark Heart of the Sith Part I
In the new Darth Vader series, (Pak, Ienco, Menon) readers find the terrifying Lord of the Sith in deep contemplation after his confrontation with his son. Star Wars writer Greg Pak takes on weaving new tales of the armored ex-Jedi. Set in the wake of the events of The Empire Strikes Back, this is an attempt to provide audiences with similar high level storytelling the previous Vader series was known for. This time however, the series takes place in a new chapter that runs parallel to the Star Wars and upcoming Doctor Aphra ongoing series.
DetailsVampirella #7
Vampirella #7 (Priest, Timpano, Gunduz, Schubert) is a great example of the opportunities this intricate and long form approach to storytelling affords, capitalizing on an exciting guest artist appearance for another must read issue.
DetailsAnt-Man #1
Funny and fast-paced, Ant-Man #1 (Wells, Burnett, Spicer, Petit) may be small but it still packs a punch.
DetailsDetective Comics #1019
Detective Comics #1019 (Tomasi, Godlewski): I love the idea of Batman having a Norse themed villain, but substituting that for a monster of indescribable horror is an even better choice!
DetailsThe End, Part 1
Sex Criminals #26 (Fraction, Zdarsky) sees the long-dormant indie darling return, and in fine form. If you’ve never given this book a shot, go back and get caught up ASAP! And if you’re a lapsed reader, frustrated with its many delays in shipping – now’s the time to come home.
DetailsBatman 433-435
IT’S TIME ONCE AGAIN TO PEER BACK INTO THE ANNALS OF HISTORY (HEH… ANNALS) FOR IT’S ANCIENT HISTORY, THIS WEEK A BATMAN WILL DIE!!!!!
DetailsHawkeye: Freefall #2
Hawkeye: Freefall #2 (Rosenberg,Schmidt, Sabino) is a tour de force that will absolutely be the best book you read in January.
DetailsBatman #88
Batman #88 (Tynion IV, March, Morey, Cowles) continues to develop the mystery of the new (old?) foe, The Developer.
DetailsThe Visitor #2
The Visitor #2 (Levitz, Kim, Arreola) is like a season finale that has you ready to flip a table in protest that you’ll have to wait for the next installment (but in a good way.)
