Generation X (1994) #1
Join Comic Watch this Sunday as we take a look back at a brilliant first issue. Generation X #1 (Lobdell, Bachalo) was innovative and risky, but hits just the right spots: dark, profound and defined art and character design, accompanied by some of the most unforgettable characters and a horrific villain.
DetailsAstonishing X-Men (2004) #57-58
(Liu, Walta, Ruiz) Astounding and detailed art that rounds up an engaging story about the rejection of otherness and final recognition and closeness. We have a lot to admire, enjoy and learn from these two issues.
DetailsAquaman – Deep Dives (DC Digital)
Marginal through and through, Aquaman – Deep Dives #1 (Orlando, Sampere, Albarran, Lucas) doesn’t give new readers much to be interested in or vintage Aquaman fans anything all that new or interesting to care about. The art is strong, but everything else is serviceable at best and forgettable at worst.
DetailsPlanetary #5
Planetary #5 (Ellis, Cassaday, Depuy, Fuchs) pushes the boundaries of the comics medium, opening up the entire series to wonderful new depths with a deep dive into Doctor Axel Brass, the heroes of past and what it all means for Planetary.

DetailsNinjak #4
Ninjak #4 (Kindt,Ryp,Mann,Sauvage,Guice,Arreola): If you’re gonna write a warning tale about an enigmatic and fierce foe routed in martial arts mayhem and magical mystery, this is a play book on how it’s done.
DetailsPacific Rim: Uprising
With less focus on the humanity of the characters, the monsters come to the forefront. The plot is largely driven by the further development of these intense, world-changing beasts that have gotten smarter since the last time viewers saw them.
DetailsFlash – Fastest Man Alive #1 (DC Digital)
Witty, thoughtful, and fun, Flash – Fastest Man Alive #1 (Simone, Henry, Maiolo) is an excellent story for both new and old readers. Check it out now on DC Digital!

Superman: Man of Tomorrow #1
Superman: Man of Tomorrow #1 (Venditti, Pelletier, Hennessy) delivers a well-timed Digital First Superman story full of heart that calls back to earlier eras in Superman story-telling.
DetailsBroken World #4
Broken World #4 (Barbiere, Peterson, Louise, Dukeshire) lives up to its name in the final issue, giving readers a stark reality check with a conclusion that will leave you both inspired and heartbroken.
DetailsBatman: Gotham Nights #1
Batman: Gotham Nights features two Digital First stories– “Medal of Honor” (Giunta, Meltzer, Lee, Williams) and “Honor Code” (Hama, Colak, Kalisz)– that take a heavy military influence to create two distinct tales of heroism in combat.
