Ghosted in L.A. #10
Ghosted in L.A. #10 (Grace, Le, Nesterenko) is the best of this series exaggerated to a ten: funny, melodramatic, exploring dark and traumatic issues with innuendos, gay, hot, and a roller coaster. Get ready cause there’s no way this won’t let you with your mouth wide open!
DetailsHarley Quinn #72
Humphries has achieved an iconic status with this run on Harley Quinn, and this arc shows that there are emotional ramifications that can continue to be explored long after this series, but Harley Quinn #72 (Humphries, Abel, Hi-Fi, Sharpe) also shows that the story isn’t nearly completed yet. There might be some new developments for fans to come to terms with, but it’s an enjoyable issue and on par with the quality we’ve come to expect from this team.
DetailsMisfits
In direct opposition to the typical superhero archetype, Misfits follows the story of five juvenile offenders—people who are frequently considered to be “bad” in the eyes of the greater public—and humanizes them.

DetailsBatman: The Return #1 (2011)
Batman: The Return (2011) (Morrison, Finch, Steigerwald, Sharpe) is a one-shot from an absolute superstar team of creative talent set to bridge two eras as Bruce returns to the cape and cowl following Dick’s time as Batman but this particular issue finds true success in how the Batfamily has held down Gotham in his stead.
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #66
In Astonishing X-Men (2004) #66 (Liu, Pinna), the team shines a light on marginalized communities. This issue shows how our characters heal, enjoy, make community, in the face of traumatizing experiences, with a B-Side-movie-like subplot that surrounds it.
DetailsPlanetary #9
After eight issues of tidbits of information placed at strategic points in the story, Planetary #9 (Ellis, Cassaday, Baron, Heisler) feels explosive thanks to it’s willingness to dig into the core of what this series is doing. There is a sense of urgency now that I have sorely been missing and it really takes the series to a new level.

With all of Trigger’s BNA: Brand New Animal available on Netflix in Japan, the series is now set to make its worldwide streaming premiere on Netflix starting June 30th.
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.
DetailsSomali and the Forest Spirti
Forest guardians are silent observers who watch over the land but never get involved with the natural order. One such sentinel, who we will call Gollum, is near the end of his function when he runs into a creature even rarer than himself, a young human girl. In this world, humans have been hunted to near extinction, and this small child is lost and alone. Therefore, Gollum names the girl Somali, and together, they set off to travel the land, meeting an endless parade of unique individuals.
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.
