Red Roots #4 from @imagecomics.com by Lorenzo De Felici! The curtain starts to pull back, leading to even more questions! De Felici is doing an outstanding job pacing out this mystery while still delivering plenty of memorable moments. I really love this series! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Iron Man #8 from Marvel by @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social & @carmencarnero.bsky.social Whiplash is back and he wants his BORT (IM2 reference-nailed it)! A new story begins, an old villain(s) returns & Carnero is back and looking great. The best IM has been in years. Rating: BUY IT #comics #review

The Deadman #3 from @dc.com by Prince, @martinmorazzo.bsky.social & @chrisohalloran.bsky.social This is 9 different comics at the same time! Morazzo & O'Halloran are in lockstep delivering unforgettable scenes. An incredible reading experience from start to finish. Rating: BUY IT #comics #review

Queen in Black: Venom Unchained #1 from Marvel by Soule & Ramirez Eddie Brock is stuck in prison for reasons, gets baffling legal advice from a public defender, then tries to escape. It's fine. Might be worth a look if you're curious about where Eddie is during QiB. Rating: SKIM IT #comics #review

Fury of Firestorm #5 from @dc.com by @jefflemire171.bsky.social & Rafael De LaTorre I hope this series sticks around but it sure feels like a big finish is imminent. All of a sudden I have a VERY bad feeling about whatever Stein is up to. Brilliant art by De LaTorre. Rating: BUY IT #comics #review

Regicide #1 from @imagecomics.com by Kindlon, Lalliat & Various! A village's gentle giant is tasked with accompanying a mysterious, masked stranger on a mission to assassinate a wicked king. Killer pitch, well established by Kindlon's script. (cont.) #comics #review

Absolute Batman #23 from DC by Snyder & Dragotta! So Clayface works for Scarecrow who works for Joker. Batman's losing it. There are teenagers in giant robots...It's all a bit much. But DAMN is it pretty. Still on board, but I'm starting to lose the plot a bit here. Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Barbara Gordon: Breakout #4 from DC by Tamaki & Nahuelpan! Yet another issue where nothing much happens and no answers are forthcoming. There's the glimmer of plot development, but this series is moving at such a glacial pace that I don't know if I'm interested anymore. (cont.) #comics #review

Action Comics #1101 from DC by Waid & Montos! This definitely strikes a more appropriate tone than Part One did, but it still feels like a pretty dense event to jump into cold. Loved the scenes with Lois working Zod, proving that she's formidable with or without powers. (cont.) #comics #review

X-Men #35 from Marvel by @jedmackay.bsky.social & Tony Daniel! I decided to jump back in to this title for the DNX event and I'm glad I did. MacKay delivers some great character moments between Beast and Magik, and provides clear contrast between Hank and the Chairman. (cont.) #comics #review

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1 from Marvel by @bryanedwardhill.bsky.social, Nico Leon & @vdelandro.bsky.social! Hill has a great feel for Miles's voice. I was missing a little context, but never felt lost. Leon's art is PHENOMENAL. Loved the homage to Amazing Fantasy #15. (cont.) #comics #review

M.A.S.K. #3 from @imagecomics.com / @skybound.bsky.social by @danpgwatters.bsky.social & @pye.bsky.social! I had to read this to see how they were going to work [REDACTED] into the story. Three issues in and I’m digging what Watters is doing here. (cont.) #comics #review

MATT: Batman & Robin Year One - Dynamic Duos #1 from @dc.com by @markwaid.bsky.social & @chrissamnee.bsky.social! This continues Waid and Samnee’s masterclass on how to create a bat-flashback comic. The opening scene gave me fucking chills. Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

JOE: Supergirl #16 from DC by Campbell, Quinones & Villanelli! This is a bizarre place to start this crossover. Sophie Campbell is great, and the flashbacks help, but there's a WHOLE lot of stuff you're going to be confused about if you aren't reading Supergirl monthly. (cont.) #comics #review

What If: Captain America 2099 from Marvel by Guggenheim & Lim! A serviceable but predictable story with an entire mini-series' worth of plot crammed into 20+ pages. I would have expected a future without Steve Rogers to have more drastic differences, but it's fine. (cont.) #comics #review

Reborn: Ultimate Impact #3 from Marvel by Condon & Caselli It feels like Marvel has forgotten this event is happening before it even hit the halfway point. Cool concept? Sure. Will any of these characters last? Eh...Debatable. One the upside, Caselli's art is great. Rating: SKIM IT #comics #review

What If Kraven Survived? from Marvel by @jmdematteis.bsky.social & @yildiraycinar.bsky.social One of the all-time greats revisits his own masterwork in the perfect use of the What If concept. Cinar skillfully channels his inner Mike Zeck. Absolutely wonderful. Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Corpse Knight #4 from @imagecomics.com / @skybound.bsky.social by Chaves, @shinolahead.bsky.social & @whoisrico.bsky.social! Our heroes finally make it to Joan d'Arc and things...uh...do NOT go as planned! Such a stunning series. No idea where they go from here! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

World's Finest 2026 Annual from @dc.com by @manruss.bsky.social, @claytonhenryart.bsky.social, @markwaid.bsky.social & @patboutin.bsky.social! I'm a sucker for Dad Stuff! Russell & Henry's tale features Pa Kent and Alfred saving their sons from a villainous plot (cont.) #comics #review

Doomquest #3 from Marvel by North & Mobili! I almost forgot this comic exists. If you want an out-of-continuity story where Doom secretly mucks around with American history, well...here you go. There are so SO many words, but the art is lovely. Rating: SKIM IT! #comics #review

@juanferreyra.bsky.social's art is incredible. I've always been a fan, but this is next level stuff (no pun intended). Some of the most impressive layouts I've ever seen! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Uncanny X-Men #33 from Marvel by @gailsimone.bsky.social & @lucianovecchio.bsky.social! Gambit's curse is finally coming to the forefront! A VERY obscure blast from the past returns, demons get punched, robo dogs, flaming horses...What more could you want?! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Fort Psycho #1 from @oni-press.bsky.social by @mattkindt.bsky.social & @brihurtt.bsky.social! This was not at all what I expected! It's certainly violent, but there's a really smart high concept hidden underneath those bullet casings and DayGlo colors. (cont.) #comics #review

Batman #12 from @dc.com by @mattfraction.bsky.social & @jorgejimenezart.bsky.social Verity is a wonderful addition to the Bat Fam, explained by a concept that deserves its own series. Jimenez is a revelation. And the ending...the ENDING. We do not deserve this book. Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Queen in Black #2 from Marvel by Ewing, Medina & Coello! The breakneck pace of the event is starting to show thanks to the presence of multiple artists. Medina's no slouch, but his work doesn't mesh all that well with Coello's. I'm still having fun though! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Captain America #14 from Marvel by Chip Zdarsky & @tonlima19.bsky.social! Cap in Hell! Demons with teeth where THERE SHOULD NOT BE TEETH! The Red Skull's army of the damned! Chip is setting up an epic Cap/Skull battle next issue. Ton Lima's art continues to impress! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review

Amazing Spider-Man #34 from Marvel by @thatjoekelly.bsky.social & Ed McGuinness! Another solid Spidey issue! I'm really enjoying Pete's new supporting cast and the mystery surrounding his cousin is intriguing. Plus, I love seeing classic foes in a new light. (cont.) #comics #review

Chachu #1 from @imagecomics.com by Vellani, Ignazzi & Bellaire Strong writing debut from the Ms. Marvel star! It's maybe a little too wordy and could stand to let the art do more of the talking, but I liked this quite a bit. The art by Ignazzi & Bellaire is stunning! Rating: BUY IT #comics #review

Queen in Black: Hela #1 from Marvel by @al-ewing.bsky.social & Carlos Magno! This is a dense but rewarding read for fans looking for more context. Seeds are planted for future stories as well, and it was fun to see Ewing tap into some truly obscure Thor lore. (cont.) #comics #review

Queen in Black: Defenders of Light & Dark #1 from Marvel by Waltz & Carlos! Two thematically appropriate squads take the fight to Hela and Knull. It has a fun assortment of characters, developments that may have lasting impact, and dynamic art. A worthy tie-in! Rating: BUY IT! #comics #review
