Planetary #6: Secret Heroes of a World That Doesn’t Deserve Us
Planetary #6
The historical alignment of Planetary #6 (Ellis, Cassaday, Depuy, Fuchs) helps to frame an interesting dynamic regarding the prominence of superheroes at the time and the never-ending search for greater power and influence, distilling the importance of the superhero genre into a sci-fi story with real relevance.

Ninjak (2015) #10: Down Amongst the Deadside
Ninjak #10
Ninjak #10 (Kindt, Braithwaite, Ryp, Reber) is an excellent “fish out of water” story that doesn’t lean on a trope to find meat to the story. It’s also a fantastic issue for a new reader to learn more about the expansive Valiant universe without being overwhelmed.

The Flash #753: The Man Who Would Outrun Death
Flash #753 (Williamson, Porter, Peterson, Hi-Fi) ups the stakes considerably, and doesn’t let off the throttle as it speeds toward “Flash Age’s” conclusion. Been let down by the current lackluster season of the CW’s Flash? The real deal in comics form is the antidote!

Aquaman – Deep Dives #1: Not TOO Deep of a Dive, but Deep Enough
Aquaman – 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.

Planetary #5: A Planetary Novel
Planetary #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.

Ninjak #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.
