Avengers (2018) #18

Apr 27, 2019

There's not a whole lot going on other than introducing the new Squadron Supreme and revealing that Coulson has struck a deal with Mephisto, but I'm still excited to see what happens and how it all ties into the big war.

The pacing, gritty action, and unpredictability are all just a few of the aspects that make "Banjax" as great as it is.

Batman Beyond (2016) #28

Feb 4, 2019

If you are looking for something fresh, but somewhat familiar at the same time, then you need to read Jurgens' Batman Beyond.

Bitter Root #4

Feb 17, 2019

As long a these two can keep the balance between their storytelling and their message without shying away in one way or another at this point, Bitter Root is going to remain one of my favorite indie titles on the shelf.

Going to the Chapel #1

Sep 4, 2019

Pepose, Guidry, and Kramer all stepped up and delivered the first amazing pages of an awesome new story that I am betting will be entertaining until the end. From comedy, to drama, "Going to the Chapel" is bound to make you feel something, and I look forward to what else the title has in store for the bride, groom and Elvis'.

Quantum and Woody (2020) #1

Jan 27, 2020

Without ever reading "Quantum & Woody" before, I was a bit worried if I would be able to keep up. After just a few pages I was totally comfortable and fully immersed in this whole new part of the Valiant universe I regret not falling into long ago.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Jennika #1

Feb 26, 2020

With this being Jennika's first solo series, the stakes are always going to be high with a new character of this magnitude. If IDW wants the masses to love Jennika like I do, this first issue needed to be both insightful and entertaining. Thankfully, the first issue was exactly what new potential readers needed to get in tune with the newest Hero in a Half-Shell and stay interested in her character development. Emotions are hit. The action is on point. I can't wait for more Jennika!

I was taken by surprise to get an entire issue explaining that we still don't know if Loki is dead, and to not see Thor in any way in his own book.

War of the Realms #1

Apr 6, 2019

When I closed this book I had to take a step back and think for a moment. If we get all of this excitement and death in just the first issue, how much more blood will be spilled in the next couple of months? I cannot wait to see how it all ends. It has been teased that the events of this story will play a big part in the future of our heroes, and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us.
