The stories told in Marvel Voices: Comunidades #1 approach the life of a superhero through the lens of community and the importance it holds in Latinx culture.

The Chris Claremont Anniversary Special has a clear objective of revisiting and honoring the work of an iconic writer, which it does a good job of doing. However its value to a reader may likely be determined by the familiarity of Claremonts body of work. The end result is narratively disjointed, self-referential to the core and at times lost in its remembrance of greatness and creates a barrier to newer readers., However, the gorgeous art and coloring highlight some of the most interesting ideas and its relationship to Claremonts defining body of work.

If theres something that this visionary and narrative challenging book needs is more. Each of the stories presented has the potential and the strength of bringing something new and different to the tapestry of Marvel, and each of the teams pulls out amazing work in so little space. So, after closing the last page, a question has arised on our side: when do these creators get to come back? And how do we get more trust in the enduring possibilities of pieces like the ones in this issue?

Shadow Service #1 is another excellent entry into the market from Vault. Every element of the construction of this opening issue is rock solid from writing to art, lettering, and cover with a whole bunch of great hooks to make you want to know more!

To simply recommend Crema does it a small disservice. This book is a love letter to love swathed in the richest flavor imaginable. And one that enchants and haunts you with the taste of coffee all around it. It also doesnt shy away from conflict, pain and trauma, shining a light on a historically rooted evil, but also survivorship of that conflict through queer love and friendship. All rounded up with the most astounding surroundings and scenarios.

Undiscovered Country 4 continues to defy classification while using strong character writing combined with smart and clever use of traditional American mythos to lead us on a fantastic journey through a story that is mysterious but thoroughly engaging in a fresh and exciting way!

Catalyst Prime: 7 Days issue #5 continues to excel as both an action-packed superhero yarn as well as an examination of our society through the lens of a high-pressure fictional situation. The strong inclusive storytelling from Simone and the incredibly high standard of art by the whole team make this comic an absolute must read.

X-Force #4 blazes forward in an issue that has everything from great humor to gut-wrenching tragedy and reminds us all that the status quo may have changed but mutant-kind remains in the crosshairs of ruthless, deadly and capable enemies. Thrilling!
