Faith Returns (2024) #2 |
Jun 19, 2024 |
Faith Returns #2 is a modern look at a superpowered story. Faith's dialogue is written how anyone living in the era would talk, which makes her feel very relatable. The story itself is fun and easy to read, especially if you're new to the world of superhero comics. I think the story does a great job explaining itself in a way that doesn't feel like it's over doing it, but just enough so you can keep up with it without feeling lost. |

X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse (2024) #1 |
Jun 12, 2024 |
Like I mentioned, I think the storyline is a lot of fun. The characters chosen are a great bunch that I can't to see interact and compete against each other. With all the heavy stuff going on in the other X-Men comics currently, this feels lighter and more of a fun time. |

Immortal Thor (2023) #11 |
May 22, 2024 |
I loved every bit of the writing for The Immortal Thor #11. The dialogue from the characters was serious but you could still see a sibling-like humor between them. Personally, I think it would be very difficult to make a storyline involving so many strong characters and each of them still be able to shine, but Al Ewing nailed it. I can't wait to see what Ewing does with The Immortal Thor #12. |

Jackpot & Black Cat (2024) #1 |
Mar 27, 2024 |
The writing I thought was done really well. The conversations flowed well, and nothing felt forced to me. It's how I would imagine MJ and Felicia to interact in real life. I do wish we got to see a little more dialogue between them, showing them truly forming a friendship and not talking just because there's a dangerous situation they have to solve. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin: II - Re-Evolution #2 |
Jun 19, 2024 |
Another banger of a comic for TMNT: The Last Ronin Re-Evolution! They've got me hooked with the story and the characters. Seeing April and Casey care so deeply for the Ninja Turtles, while the Turtles want to get out there and prove themselves works so well in this comic book. I'll be impatiently waiting for the third issue to release as I can't wait to see what's next. |

X-Men (2021) #34 |
May 1, 2024 |
The art in X-Men #34 is as solid as it gets. Something I love about the X-Men comics is that every mutant shines in their own right when it comes to how they're drawn. The colors on their suits are always gorgeous and fits their personality perfectly. In this case, I think Shadowkat looks fantastic. The blue and black suit with the hood added to the emotional tone of the scene at the end of the comic book. |

Apr 24, 2024 |
X-Men: Forever #2 skillfully maintains the exciting momentum characteristic of the X-Men series. Bursting with action throughout, the comic adeptly blends character development and storyline progression. The artwork is exquisite, showcasing each mutant with a stunning array of colors. Personally, I find Rachel Summers, also known as Askani, particularly striking in this issue. The scenes are visually captivating, with the final scene being especially memorableI won't spoil it, but trust me, it's fantastic. |

Personally, I think the second installment of X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse was even more fun than the first one. The stakes felt a lot higher in this one, for sure. Steve Foxe is fantastic at keeping the excitement going throughout the comic. He does a great job at giving each mutant their own chance to shine without watering down the other characters. I can't wait to see what's next for X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse! |

I always enjoy the plot points that show how deep their friendship goes. Black Widow & Hawkeye #4 is an excellent continuation for this run and I can't wait to see what's next. |

It felt authentic, mirroring how I would envision Jackpot and Black Cat to converse while on a mission together. Something I really appreciate is how Black Cat shows empathy and understanding for Jackpot at the beginning. |

Ultimate X-Men (2024) #2 |
Apr 10, 2024 |
I found this comic to be relatable when dealing with the emotions of being close to someone who died by suicide. It authentically portrays the feelings of guilt, the instinct to avoid confronting emotions, and the tendency to withdraw inwardly while coping with loss. The narrative beautifully delves into the shadows of Hisako's life, offering insights that anyone who has experienced the mental anguish resulting from bullying can understand. |

X-Men: Blood Hunt (2024): Jubilee #1 |
Jun 12, 2024 |
I'm loving all of the Blood Hunt comics coming out but this one felt like it made the most sense for the character. Like I mentioned before, I think Jubilee is pretty underrated and this showed just how helpful she can be just by using the knowledge of her past. X-Men: Blood Hunt Jubilee is a lot of fun and an interesting look at how other vampires are looking at the Blood Hunt situation. |

I found this second install of Deadpool to be another homerun. It was funny with nodes of seriousness that are so true to the character of Deadpool. I feel Cody Ziglar has such a firm grasp on the characters and delivers their stories in such a way that has you feeling like you're reading about the adventures of an old friend. He nails every aspect you'd want to see in a Deadpool comic book, whether it be the humor, the laughing off of the seriousness, the chaos, or the emotions. |

Deep Cuts #6 exhibits exceptional pacing, infused with a genuine sense of realism and growth. It's crafted with a poignant sense of self doubt and vulnerability at the most critical times in a musicians life, as well as the feeling of self-discovery that resonates deeply with the emotions of finding one's self worth. I found it very relatable, especially when Barry felt he lost his right to his journey when grieving the loss of his idol. |
