Border #1

Jun 28, 2018

Border is refreshing in its toeing of the line between that good ol' boys' love and being a truly heartfelt, sometimes sad exploration of found family and overcoming grief.

Coyotes #5

Aug 15, 2018

Yarksy and Lewis pour so much love and creative energy into every page of Coyotes #5. Frankly, if you're not reading it, you're missing out on too much pure awesome graphic storytelling goodness and I feel sorry for you.

Daredevil (2015) #607

Aug 27, 2018

Soule and Noto are absolutely on fire with these last two issues, and I only hope they can keep this momentum through the rest of their run because this is the most excited I've been about Daredevil in years.

Deadly Class #34

May 29, 2018

Whenever I pitch this series to people, I describe it as a coming-of-age story hijacked by Quentin Tarantino, and this issue perfectly encapsulates why that is. I'm not so totally wrapped up in my love for this series that I can't see why people wouldn't like it, but that's definitely more a personal preference problem than that the series isn't objectively good. Deadly Class is not for everyone, but the people who it is for are sure to appreciate just how well it does its job.

Death Of The Inhumans #1

Jul 2, 2018

Death of Inhumans #1 is haunting and dark, and the perfect way to send off characters who have a dark history.

Death or Glory #1

Apr 16, 2018

Death or Glory #1 is made great by not only the writing and art, but the strong collaboration between the two.

Apr 11, 2018

Eternity Girl #3

May 9, 2018

Eternity Girl #3 ups the ante from the previous issue and proves why it deserves to be on your pull list and continue beyond its planned six issues.

Mera: Queen of Atlantis #2

Mar 28, 2018

Mera: Queen of Atlantis #2 is a well paced issue that progresses the story well, but continues to be too tied into canon for anyone who isn't up to date on Aquaman to enjoy.

Mera: Queen of Atlantis #4

May 24, 2018

Mera: Queen of Atlantis #4 turns the series around so that maybe it won't be a waste to read in trade.

Outpost Zero #2

Aug 7, 2018

Outpost Zero #2 boasts stellar youth-based storytelling and strong art that understands its characters and environment, but maybe not enough plot progression.

Runaways (2017) #7

Runaways #7 is full of parallels and although it's not action packed it's funny, poignant, and the perfect comic for millennials.

Runaways (2017) #8

Apr 4, 2018

Runaways #8 kicks the action into high gear while threading the themes of the run into the fabric of the comic. Also Dr. Doom wears a ridiculous three piece suit.

Skyward (2018) #2

May 22, 2018

Skyward isn't a dazzling book but it's clever, with pitch perfect art and many places it can take the story, and sometimes that's all you need.
