A busy but satisfying first issue

A tight one-shot with a fun cast.

The collection concludes with a series of touching and informative essays in tribute to comics creator Rachel Pollack and a preview of the upcoming Dreamer graphic novel Bad Dream. As a package, DC Pride 2023 delivers in spades. Comics, essays, and art all come together in an important collection at a time when simply talking about queer people is becoming more and more politically risky.

Sure your mileage with the referential humor may vary, but I loved it. It's nice feeling seeing and reading jokes that are for me, a terminally online X-Men gay who is not above laughing at a dick joke. Whether that is a smart approach for Wong to take is up for debate, but in the meantime, I'm here for it!

Valentine is still great and the series as a whole maintains its charm.

Descending into the world of Marvel's assassins as new dog dad Deadpool enters his John Wick era is an enticing pitch for what's to come.

Love Unlimited: Karma in Love #1 tells a cute Karma solo story effectively in the infinity comic format.

Trung Le Nguyen returns with another delightful snippet of Karma's story of love and loss.

Miles and his supporting cast are more compelling than ever thanks to the efforts of Ziglar and Vicentini.

Miles' latest villain gets a splashy introduction.

An endearing and enduring collection.

Wanda's solo series continues to explore her connections to the Marvel Universe.

There's nothing small about this journey into the Microverse.

An highly educational and entertaining history

While the genre of horror isn't typically something I'm personally attracted to, I am a fan of comics, and Tynion is one of the best in the medium right now. So if he's writing horror, I guess I'm reading horror.

Another titillating chapter in what's sure to be a wild ride

An intriguing and tense debut for this new adults-only series.

With the political stakes and the medium through which these opposing factions within Checkmate will go to battle established, next issue is shaping up to be a big one.

Checkmate has its pieces in position for an explosive conclusion.

The final chapter of this DC Black Label series sticks the landing.
