On the art side, artist Pere Perez and colorist Frank D'Armata deliver a stunner every time Jess is in the spotlight, though not just in showing off her skills. Their rendition of a serum overdosed Jess is one I won't get out of my mind anytime soon, and when you throw in that final page hook, it makes for one of the most painful yet compelling issues of the series yet.

There's simply nothing else like Hell To Pay in comics at the moment, and as writer Charles Soul and artist Will Sliney continue to build out the world, it only mesmerizes that much more.

Jan 26, 2022

Justice League #70 surprised me after succeeding in making the Royal Flush Gang an actual compelling threat to the League, but it seems that wasn't meant to last. Issue #71 quickly reveals that whatever threat they posed has been dealt with, and while I did enjoy how Brian Michael Bendis, Phil Hester, Romulo Fajardo Jr, and Eric Gapstur brought the fallout from their actions to life over the next several pages, it was a bit deflating to see them put down so quickly.

The number of artists on this one issue does lead to some abrupt switches in style, and there are moments where the League sounds a bit off (like Aquaman's weird "suit up, my League" line), but the heavy focus on the JL Dark team and a promising setup for the battle moving forward make this an issue worth picking up.

Dan Slott and Mark Bagley's Spider-Man has succeeded in capturing the tone of a classic Spider-Man adventure, with the artwork dialogue, and premise coming together beautifully at times. There are other times however where the book's tone and dialogue shift from classic to dated, and while Spider-Man #9 has plenty of stellar moments, the ever shifting balance of those two tones can't help but take you out of the story.

Spider-Man's "Maxed Out" storyline has felt like classic Spider-Man through and through, and while that feeling remains in Spider-Man #10, surprisingly those aren't the elements that made the biggest impression in the conclusion.
