Snake Eyes: Deadgame #1 certainly may not garner any Eisner nominations, but it is a confectionary bit of enjoyment that won’t overtax your synapses
Masterful craft in execution, alas, can’t save the abysmally insipid and culturally insensitive concepts at play in Avengers #34.
The impossibly perfect-looking character Claire Connell in Adventureman #2 — a former cop, current bookseller, 1/7 of an equally impossibly perfect and
The team is in deep space and discovers themselves in deep philosophical trouble in Justice League #48. They stumble into a very messed up situation and,
In the larger scope of things, Transformers Galaxies #7 is a piece of the puzzle. In the immediacy of the day, it doesn’t justify the cost of admission.
No one in their right mind could say this was a bad book, but Dr. Strange #5's missteps slightly outweigh its advantages.
Star Trek: Year Five #12 does nothing wrong, but it doesn’t shine as brightly as some other instances either.
Reaver has always drifted towards the good side of the scale, and Reaver #9 it easily shows its stuff in a winner of a comic book.
This very clever and surprising issue takes an alternate look at the aftermath of 1976’s Captain America #193, putting a truly human face on the cost of
It’s one of those moments that overcomes a lot of deficits, but Thor #5 still is far more sizzle than steak. Swing and a miss, alas, but here we are.
If examined too closely, elements of the narrative in Batman #93 begin to unravel. The real is clever, but it was a little clunky.
With a twist from the creative team of Suicide Squad #6 turn in a fight scene that’s great and leads to an epic one-on-one between Batman and Deadshot
It’s your turn to roll the dice as we return to the literary, deeply developed fantasy world of DIE #11 where childhood friendships and betrayals run deep.
Strange Adventures #2 doesn’t read like a single issue, but pages of an original graphic novel but for the premium cost of a monthly periodical.
Unfortunately, literally every idea at the foundation of 2020 Ironheart #2 was hackneyed before the turn of the century.
Stick around for the last page of Ludocrats #2, which proves the larger narrative is moving ahead while this singular adventure comes to its conclusion.
Toss in the stylish, slick, and kinetic visuals and Black Cat #11 is a superbly entertaining, craftily clever chunk of culture on your hands.
Barry Allen, the Flash is forced to team up with two of his most dangerous villains -- the cop turned murderer Godspeed and his long time nemesis the
Bass Reeves #1 is interesting work that establishes a new paradigm for a western but falls just short of glory.
Nightwing #71 is just treading water and waiting for the return of Dick Grayson as we expect to see him, so all this heroic nonsense is tedious.
Kill Lock #5 is high-grade science fiction with deep emotional undercurrents and with one issue left, it's a nailbiter to see what will happen next.
This kind of sad tragedy of a book in Batman: Gotham Nights #7 doesn't so much stand for justice as an excuse the kind of "boys will be boys" defense.
The production values and detail in Far Sector #6 are off the charts and this comic book is well worth every cent.
This will be a section providing great nuance and tension when reading the entire story. Right now, Reaver #8 is more of a tease than it needs to be.
The slow boil of this is a series of almost losses that could add up to a Battle of Yavin moment, but today are drastically less impressive for G.I. Joe #6.
From an execution standpoint, there are no defects in the script and, likewise, the visual storytelling hits all the right spots in Avengers #33.
Without a doubt, these are some of the best Batman comics available on the stands and pretty much everything went right in Batman: Gotham Nights #6.
