This one-shot is being marketed by Image Comics as both a jumping on point for new readers and a glimpse into the past for long-time fans. As one of the former, this comic left me eager to delve into more stories from The Darkness.

Sandman: Overture is not a series to be missed. When this level of talent collaborates, its hard to go wrong, and this comic is no exception. Sandman: Overture #3 is a mesmerizing trip through a masterminds imagination.

Full-auto comic book genius!

Ragnarok is a fast-paced, beautifully illustrated book. Open it up and let Simonson and his collaborators carry you into a mythic land of adventure!

I was so enthralled by Winterworld that I immediately ordered the previously collected stories on amazon after I finished this comic. Some readers may find the premise as fresh as a frozen dinner, but the rest will be happily snowbound.

The deeper you get into The Woods, the further you want to go!

Daredevil: Road Warrior presents a dramatic tale that Daredevil readers new and old can enjoy. Waid may have over-told the story in places, but the art team put together a top notch set of visuals.

Dark Ages #1 is a thrillingcomic both in its own right and as a change of scenery from contemporary superhero titles. Abnett and Culbard make a perfect team for this fierce, medieval adventure.

GI Joe 204 delivers everything fans have come to love and expect from Larry Hama and this art team. Its a satisfying, character-driven adventure!

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #205 is one of the strongest issues in the series since he was reborn on IDW. Hama is delivering new classics, and Gallant has become a major contributor to the G.I Joe legend.

Ms. Marvel is an ideal book for new readers and regular comic fans interested in a fresh character. I look forward to Kamala Khan gradually taking a more prominent role in the Marvel universe.

While it's a pretty, shiny book like the Spider-Man 2099 #1 of yesteryear, this comic also turned me off with its story. Or maybe, like Miguel, it just found me at the wrong time.

Genius feels like a comic from a team that is still finding its voice and developing its craft. That said, its not a bad read and has some terrific pages in it.

The Empty Man may be worthwhile to horror comic fans, especially for those who like thrillers with religious cult angles. Most comic readers, however, will probably put this title down feeling unsatisfied.
