Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Black Panther and the Crew remains a thought-provoking comic giving a measured discussion to real-world problems.

New Thunderbolts Vol. 1, sparked a love in me that has yet to die out. Give Nicieza and Grummett’s New Thunderbolts a read.
Luke Cage #4 Review: I put my faith in David F. Walker to continue his success trend with Luke Cage, and that faith has been rewarded.
Astonishing X-Men #2 is a solid issue. While the machinations of the Shadow King don’t go to many unexpected places, they’re still brought to life well.
Generations: Wolverine & All-New Wolverine has action, blood, heart, and a touching reunion. It's a very solid read; you won't regret picking this one up.
President Donald Trump finally responded to the chaos in surrounding a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia today. Trump took to Twitter
Jean Grey #5 isn’t a particularly bad issue, but it is wildly mediocre in the grand scheme of things. It’s fun, but it feels inconsequential.
At last, Bleeding Cool comic reviewer Josh Davison gets around to devoting a series of pieces reviewing his all-time favorite comic series: Thunderbolts.
Venom #153 isn’t a brilliant comic, but it’s a lot of fun. After some of the underwhelming reads this week has brought me, Venom was perfectly satisfying.
All-New Wolverine #23 isn’t a bad comic, but the tonal issues of horrific events clashing against the endless one-liners don’t make for a truly great story.
Ultimately, steer clear of Captain America #25. It’s so amazingly wrongheaded. Heroism loses meaning when they can just wish for victory — or vomit it up.
Secret Empire #8 has more high points than low, but it’s badly hindered by the mounds of padding. That said, it’s one of the best issues of the series.
Pak and Buffagni are an excellent team on Generations: Banner Hulk & The Totally Awesome Hulk. But if you're new to the lore, it could be confusing.
Soule and Camuncoli’s 'Darth Vader' displays his fury, and his power. He is shown to be the ruthless yet layered character that he should always be.
The premise of Black Bolt #4 makes it an interesting addition to Marvel canon due to its relevance in one of its most oft-used villains.
As his plane lands in Vancouver International Airport, Danny is still recovering from his time on Liu-Shi. He spots some suspicious figures on the runway,
In their gearing up for the next “non-reboot,” Marvel is releasing their Generation line of one-shots, wherein the new identity of some hero titles meets
Luke Cage: Second Chances is far from perfect, but it has a lot of heart. The pacing is good, the characters are relatable, and the action is awesome.
The Magneto Testament is a phenomenal piece of storytelling — haunting, emotional, beautiful, and one of the best pieces of comic book literature out there.
Ta-Nehisi Coates once again proves that he was just about the perfect choice to take on Black Panther. Black Panther #16 easily earns its recommendation.
The plot is a little unfocused and most of it is spent in Sam Wilson’s headspace, but Sam Wilson: Captain America #24 still has some great moments.
Occupy Avengers has been a great comic. David F. Walker put together something special here, and it’s a shame it had to be killed so soon.
Marvel's TL;DR recaps the classic Stan Lee and Jack Kirby story, Inhumans Among Us, from Fantastic Four #45 - 48. The first appearance of the Inhumans.
If you’re interested in Secret Empire, The Mighty Captain Marvel #7 won’t give you much — but those here for Carol Danvers will not be disappointed.
Ultimates Squared is a fantastic comic, and this issue is one of the best. It has big ideas, a lot of action, and the art brings it all to life marvelously.
I will gleefully recommend Luke Cage #3. The comic does tell an interesting story, and the art is great, even if it’s not fitting.
Daredevil is one of Marvel’s greatest characters, and Soule is doing him some justice with a unique story. This is a rock-solid comic deserving of a read.
Doctor Strange #23, despite its stunning art, lacks the high stakes that make for a great story and the humor falls into the realm of outright annoying.
The Cup O' Joe panel has been a Marvel convention staple for years, but Joe Quesada's formerly newsworthy chat was lackluster and boring this year.
If the Inhumans are your jam, go for Royals #5. You’ll likely really enjoy it. If you have no interest in the Inhumans, I wouldn't run out to go grab this.
