INCURSION #1 offers more than just the typical setting and character introductions of a first-issue comic book. Inside, you'll find an epic gestalt of sci-fi villains and fantasy heroes, all presented with a realistic art style that captures the tone such an adventure deserves. This comic provides relatable characters (heroes and villains alike) who, despite their globe-altering abilities, still feel realistic. I had a lot of fun with this story, and I look forward to reading the next three issues in the miniseries.

Layered with intrigue and detail, RONIN ISLAND #1 by Greg Pack and Giannis Milonogiannis is an ornate first issue. The new BOOM! Studios series -- about an island community of warriors and survivors who face off with a monstrous enemy -- is utterly satisfying.
