Archival Quality
Archival Quality (Weir, Steenz!) is the perfect example of writing and art complementing each other. A story about psychiatric survivorship gets wrapped in joyful, humane, relatable art in a way that perfectly represents that this book is gonna tell you a ghost story and a confessional story, and so much more. #CWPride

DetailsAction Comics #1022
Action Comics #1022 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Miki, Anderson) continues to show how well Bendis and Romita Jr. work together. The dust is still settling since the previous issue, but a strange family reunion leaves Superman with more questions than answers.
DetailsBlack Lightning
As with many superhero shows, “Black Lightning” starts off a little weak and uninspired, but it quickly picks itself up and sets itself apart. It is helped both by a strong metaplot building up over the years and a cast that feels both intense yet very real.
DetailsAquaman #59 (DeConnick, Rocha, Henriques) shifts and spins its narrative deftly, keeping readers off-balance as to who is responsible for Andy’s kidnapping. Don’t ask questions, just check out the best Aquaman run in years ASAP!
DetailsMYTHOS: X-Men #1
There is no getting around it, Mythos: X-Men #1 (Jenkins, Rivera, Caramagna) is frustratingly subpar. There just isn’t much to be gained aside from some enjoyable visuals that can’t be better substantiated by going back to the 1963 classic #1 issue this story is based on.
