Another week passes, and that means it's time to count down the top and bottom five comics of July 4th, 2018. What will make the list? Read here to find out

Weapon X has gone fully under the control of Sabretooth, going after the men who controlled Omega Red. Warpath isn't happy. Is it a good read?

Mech Cadet Yu and his allies, along with Captain Tanaka and the Engineering Corps, are confronting the Sharg mothership Is it a good read?

Weapon X closes in on Omega Red and his intended target, a mutant-advocating general targeted by Red's brother. Does it make for a good read?

We can't guarantee 100% accuracy, of course. In this issue of Improbable Previews, we've acquired an unlettered page from the upcoming Weapon X #19 by Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, and Yildiray Cinar Will this issue contain the greatest comic book crossover of all time? All signs point to: yes! Check out the preview below, and look[...]

Weapon X continues its struggle against Omega Red and the mutant prisoners he has under his control. Can Sabretooth get through to Red? Does it make for a good read?

With Greg Pak, Fred van Lente, and Yildiray Cinar, hopefully we can see this hot streak continue. Invader Zim #30 cover by Maddie C and Fred C Stresing Invader Zim #30 The last issue of this book was entertaining, but bothersomely dumb That said, I can't deny that I still look forward to the next installment of the Invader Zim, and the[...]

Greg Pak and Fred van Lente deliver on the narrative while Cinar and D'Armata do excellent work on the visuals This one gets a recommendation Give it a read. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Team Weapon X is now under the control of Sabretooth Old Man Logan is out of commission, and Victor Creed just might be[...]

Triona Farrell's color work keeps everything vibrant and lively, keeping a little levity in this story about suicide missions. Mech Cadet Yu #8 is another triumphant issue from Greg Pak, Takeshi Miyazawa, and Triona Farrell It's fun, fast-moving, and looks damn good This issue has its hangups, but they are far overshadowed by what the book[...]

This sounds like it will be an exciting issue, and Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa have yet to let me down with this series. Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #2 cover by Max Fiamura Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #2 Jeff Lemire and Max Fiamura continue to expand on their Black Hammer universe with this Justice Society and Starman send-off focusing[...]

It sounded like something Greg Pak may have suggested as a joke in the presence of a marketing rep, and a few months later "Weapon of Mutant Destruction" happened. I didn't read that story, full disclosure I don't follow Incredible Hulk or Weapon X that closely, and it was from before my tenure as Bleeding Cool's[...]

(STL081986) SC, 32pgs, FC       SRP: $3.99 APR181111 MECH CADET YU #9 (W) Greg Pak (A/CA) Takeshi Miyazawa Skip and the cadets take the fight to the Sharg, in outer space!

This epic reunion will hopefully be quite a read. Matthew Rosenberg and Travel Foreman are behind this miniseries uniting one of the best new bromances of comics. Thanos #17 cover by Geoff Shaw Thanos #17 Thanos, King Thanos, and the Cosmic Rider face a Mjolnir-wielding Silver Surfer and the Annihilation Wave at the end of time. Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw have been killing it on[...]

Triona Farrell's color art is also great, giving this world a much-appreciated wild color variance. Mech Cadet Yu #7 is another good issue in this Greg Pak series The storytelling is solid, the art is great, and the resulting comic is compulsively readable This one earns another recommendation Pick it up. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] After the[...]

Everyone just needs to remember to dodge, duck, dive, dip, and dodge. Mech Cadet Yu #7 cover by Takeshi Miyazawa and Raul Angulo Mech Cadet Yu #7 The wonderful Boom! Studios series by Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa about a young group of mech pilots being trained for war, this issue finally sees those young pilots being deployed into that war[...]

While this issue brings tactile and close-quarters action that results in multiple characters being wounded, there is still an uplifting tone brought about by Greg Pak's plotting as well as the art and color art from Takeshi Miyazawa and Triona Farrell respectively. This book also concludes this story by the ending too, which is a welcome[...]

Weapon X makes their final stand against the Nuke horde. They only have one out, and it's to take the pills that make Nuke powerful. However, it also destroys their minds. Is it a good read?

We make no promises about the use of your time, however. On stands this week are Weapon X #14, X-Men Blue #21, Despicable Deadpool #294, Cable #154, and Old Man Logan #35. Weapon X #14 Writer: Greg Pak Artist: Yildiray Cinar Colorist: Frank D'Armata Letterer: Joe Caramagna Cover: David Nakayama Long story short: Old Man Logan and the rest of his team of[...]

A man on the verge of cracking… After misadventures in Central and South America and having earned enough money to retire comfortably, the Killer retires to Mexico, but his colleagues are still in need of his irreplaceable skills… and before long he's drawn back into the great geopolitical game between Cuba, Venezuela, and the United States.   RUGRATS:[...]

The superstar writer took to Twitter today after coming to a shocking revelation: the way the comic book preorder system works is stupid (our words, not his — but it's the basic gist) Pak started with a plea to[...]

You can see read every X-Men: Bland Design column going back to the very beginning (which was last week) at this link.

Mech Cadet Yu by Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa is easily the most fun, charming, and upbeat new series of 2017 Since I only got around to reviewing two issues of it, Mech Cadet Yu #4 has come to represent the energy and glee this book gave me. This is one of those books that sticks with you, even when it's been a[...]

Weapon X is called to Santa Marco to answer a rash of mutant-killers who look, behave, and have powers similar to Nuke. Is it a good read?

The shepherd is enticed, but like many things in the realm of fairies, not everything is what it seems.   MECH CADET YU #7 Publisher: BOOM! Studios Retail Price: $3.99 Writer: Greg Pak Artist: Takeshi Miyazawa Main Cover: Takeshi Miyazawa Subscription Cover: Marcus To Stanford and his fellow students are enlisted into Earth's last-ditch effort to drive off the Sharg invasion.

There were also kind words from talent like Charles Soule, Greg Pak, and Christos Gage. Good lord, Brian, that is horrible I am so glad you are recovering! If there is anything we can do when we get home on Wednesday, let me know! — Gail Simone (@GailSimone) December 9, 2017 He announced that he will not be able[...]

And while the films, including the inevitable third chapter, tell the story going forward, they leave the history untapped — something that Dynamite Entertainment has signed on to tell. The first issue of the series came out on Wednesday and was written by Greg Pak and drawn by Giovanni Valletta It's set in a time before[...]

Marvel has announced a sequel to World War Hulk to begin in March in The Incredible Hulk #174 from Greg Pak and Carlo Barberi Since they promised to lay off the super-mega-crossover events for a while, it looks like this won't be getting its own standalone series, but that doesn't mean it can't be packed with[...]

The series will fill the perfect niche for efficiency-minded fans who are interested in both Hulks and Wolverines, but don't want to read any of the titles starring the dozen or so individual versions of those two characters. At the time, there was no creative team attached, but Marvel has revealed in a press release that[...]

Writer Greg Pak continues to show he is one of the industry greats. Admittedly, the tropes it is using do become more prominent as the story goes on Mech Cadet Yu should consider adding plot points that don't feel too predictable if it wants to stay this charming and fun for the long haul. Takeshi Miyazawa's art[...]

Taking a little from Pacific Rim, Attack on Titan, Starship Troopers (the film, sans the cynicism), and numerous manga tropes, Yu has shown itself to be yet another home run by legendary writer Greg Pak. This trend continues in #3, as everything about the young protagonist Yu is endearing He's headstrong, determined, and full of heart[...]
