Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII (2024) #2

Jul 11, 2024

Still evading expositional nutrients, Kelly and Kubert's second of three issues still makes for a tasty literary treat.

Green Lantern (2023) #13

Jul 11, 2024

This current run of Green Lantern has been especially impressive, and issue thirteen stays the course despite the turbulence.

Green Lantern (2023) #15

Sep 16, 2024

HOLMES & HOUDINI: THE CURSE OF MORIARTY brings the newest hero team back to fight a monster with ties to the famous Sherlock Holmes and Liesel Van Helsing. David Wohl's central concept has promise, and the multi-member art team does a fine job, but the story execution is poorly plotted, slow, and dull.

Green Lantern (2023) #16

Oct 22, 2024

Green Lantern #16 is a strong installment that brings together stunning art, rich character moments, and an engaging narrative. If you were lost in the maelstrom of too many concurrent series and are looking for a way in, this is the start of something great! We're so back.

Green Lantern (2023) #17

Nov 16, 2024

Gorgeous, exciting, effective DC's newest branding umbrella ALL IN is an apt descriptor for Green Lantern. The characters are all in, the creators are all in, and so am I.

Green Lantern Civil Corps Special (2024) #1

Oct 11, 2024

At long last, all of our favorite Green Lanterns are together again on the page. The operative word in the title is special; at a whopping 48 pages, this book is chock-full of cameos, team-ups, and long-awaited payoffs.

Green Lantern: War Journal (2023) #11

Jul 25, 2024

Johnson and Montrose have crafted an epic, albeit heady, science-fiction tale worthy of fan-favorite Green Lantern John Stewart by rooting it in a deep understanding of the space hero's soft side.

Green Lantern: War Journal (2023) #12

Aug 25, 2024

Green Lantern: War Journal #12 concludes the compelling series with a bow, reminding us that what makes a hero is not his fist but his heart.

NYX #1 is a lot like the first day of a new school year: exciting, with lots of new faces, and full of potential!

Nyx (2024) #3

Sep 25, 2024

NYX is grounded, relatable, and subway-deep. The least realistic detail is that gas in New York only costs $1.30.

Nyx (2024) #4

Nov 3, 2024

NYX has been a slow-burn to reach a sizzle, but each issue gets progressively better. Try it on for size, and you may be surprised how much you'll take to it. Until the next chapter, we've got you covered for all things comics here at The Comic Book Spot.

Nyx (2024) #5

Nov 16, 2024

While a series on lesser-known heroes from the Marvel catalog may not immediately appeal to some readers, I make the plea to forego the bigwigs and try NYX on for size. You'll find a character-driven, light read that delivers without overstaying its welcome.

Plastic Man No More! (2024) #1

Sep 5, 2024

Plastic Man No More #1 is an engaging entry into the miniseries, one that stretches our perception of the character into one well worth a four-issue investment.

As Plastic Man reinvents himself, we too see him in a new light. Funny, heartfelt, and fresh Plastic Man No More! is an unexpected hit!

All the same, Plastic Man No More! #3 is a fun, grungy, low-issue investment addition to your pull list. Catch up on the limited series now before its climactic finale this December!

Wolverine: Revenge (2024) #3

Nov 3, 2024

In any other story, the grand climax of Wolverine: Revenge #3 would be a perfect series finale, but with two more issues to go, anything could happen!
