Due to a combination of the Memorial Day holiday last week and some travel on my part, this week’s column includes releases from both last week (May 28) and this week (June 4). Which means we’ve got a bunch to go over, so let’s jump right into things!
DetailsTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Alpha #1
is a blast of an issue, with two great stories that aim to solidify an exciting future for the franchise, appealing to fans new and old, by @JasonAaron @TomWaltz @TheBurnham @gavinpsmith @ReberVision @rleep @NathanWidick & @IDWPublishing #TMNT
DetailsShazam! #12
is an amazing end to the first arc for this new creative team, showcasing some of the best executed retcons in recent memory, by @CozyJamble @Maunulpac #MikeNorton @Trishm @DanMora_c #TroyPeteri & @DCOfficial. #Shazam
DetailsPoison Ivy #23
is a splatterpunk extravaganza undermined by its emphasis on queer tragedy. #PoisonIvy #DCComics #LGBTQ
DetailsBatman #148
(Zdarsky, Jiménez, Morey, Cowles @DCOfficial) is a mixed conclusion to an uneven arc, undercut by its connection to DC’s next big event. #Batman #DCComics

DetailsX-Men The Wedding Special #1
This was a fun, though inessential read. It’s nice to see so many non-male creators gathered together in one book. It’s a pity that Marvel only seems to break out this level of diversity for #Pride. #XMen #LGBTQ #MarvelComics
DetailsSpace Ghost #2
grabs you by adding fun and humor to a series that already delivers great action. @Peposed’s writing and Lau’s fantastic art make this an unmissable issue. @DynamiteComics
