Action Comics #1021
Action Comics #1021 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Janson, Anderson, Sharpe) is a crowded issue that concludes an arc that had already strayed away. A few fun action sequences save the issue, but not by much.
DetailsThe Red Mother #4
The Red Mother #4 (Haun, Luckert, Dukeshire) remains haunting and, at moments, striking, but its predictable narrative structure and artistic shortcomings can get in the way of an otherwise creepy and compelling story.
DetailsFlash #752 (Williamson, Porter, Hi-Fi) slows down just a hair and gives its protagonist some space to breathe… in Heaven? Things aren’t what they seem, but just because the story has swerved into new territory, doesn’t mean “Flash Age” should be missed!

Patricia Highmash Interview with Marie D’Abreo by Travis Hedge Coke Marie D’Abreo’s comics are an amazing mix of humanistic art and intelligent writing, but the term, mix, may not be accurate.

DetailsEnough praise cannot be heaped on just how great the current Aquaman run is, and issue #58 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) is no exception. Character-first, subtle, and with wholly gorgeous art, this book is quietly one of DC’s best right now.

DetailsDoctor Tomorrow #2
Doctor Tomorrow #2 (Arbona, Towe, Rodriguez): Doctor Tomorrow brings superhero action and excitement in a way you’re not gonna get from any other traditional superhero book on the shelves!
DetailsBlackwood: The Mourning After #2
Blackwood: The Mourning After #2 (Dorkin, Fish, Fish, McKenna) is a blast to read and perfectly balances reality in a magic setting. Dorkin’s talent shines in his characters; the students don’t feel like caricatures. The Fish’s art is the frosting on the cake — you can’t get enough.
DetailsTartarus #2
Tartarus #2 (Christmas, Cole, Campbell) continues to offer readers an engrossing, symbol-rich, trope-defying science fiction epic worth sinking their teeth into.
DetailsDaredevil #191
Join us this Sunday morning for a look back at the powerful finale to Frank Miller’s acclaimed Daredevil run with issue #191 (Miller, Austin, Varley, Rosen)!
DetailsSymbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #4
Symbiote Spider-Man: Alien Reality #4 (David, Land, Leisten) is the kind of comic that reads well enough, isn’t overtly bad by any means, but winds up being forgotten almost as soon as it’s finished being read.
