                     Killer second issue of David Lapham's new series "Good As Dead" sees Sherriff Calhoun descend deeper into his drug-fueled pursuit of revenge against the family he is pinning all of Port Lindon's tragedies on.
Lapham is telling a powder keg of a story that's packed, primed and ready to blow. We feel the urgency of Calhoun's uphill race against the clock to catch his killer(s) and settle  more

                         Port Lindon is on fire, and Sherrif Calhoun is running out of time to find out who did it. But the only way to catch a criminal is to turn to the most dangerous person he knows – his sister...

                     Maria Llovet turns up the heat and tightens the ropes in an impressive second issue of "Artificial". Our protagonist Clara enjoys a working staycation with her new android sexbot, Saul, balancing a new opportunity in her career as a stylist with a whole of down 'n' dirty f*cking to punctuate her workflow.
Llovet is telling a nicely contained story so far that focuses on interaction over more

                         Clara takes the plunge into the full Date-X experience—and her fantasies come vividly to life. But behind the passion, something small goes wrong... and it may have far bigger consequences than she expects. As reality and role-play begin to blur, her dream romance starts to twist into something darker.

                     Messy first issue for new miniseries "Death to Pachuco" from writer Henry Barajas and artist Rachel Merrill. Cover art by indie crime comics legend David Lapham might have set expectations too high for this title about the investigation into a young Mexican American set against the backdrop of the real life 1943 clash between U.S. Navy members and LA's Mexican community.

                         Batman’s final showdown with the monstrous Bane! Will he be able to overcome this unstoppable behemoth, or will he be trapped in Ark-M forever?
Matt Fraction's second issue of 'Batman' is a confident step forward from issue #1, setting some immediate stakes for the Caped Crusader(s) while also keeping the action street-level, which gives the consequences a serious and ominous weight.

                     Fantastic one-shot from writer David Brothers and artists Nick Dragotta that collects three stories about characters on the brink -- of the apocalypse, of life and death, and of narrow escape on the streets of New York.
Brothers' stories wear their influences openly (the creators even include a final page laying them out and paying homage), and he and Dragotta's mix of manga, Mad Max, a more

                     'Absolute Evil' #1 expands DC's Absolute Universe and gives the villains their own title. Al Ewing and his team of creators drop a perfectly enticing first issue here, although his story is more interested with introducing our cast than coming hot out the gate.
