All in Drama
Loki #2 // Review
Kibblesmith cleverly sets the mood of a bored god in Marvel Manhattan who is simply trying to find himself.
Postal Deliverance #2 // Review
The action might feel stiff, but the horror of the drama is given vivid life.
Sea of Stars #2 // Review
Aaron and Hallum’s story continues to tumble through a pulpy, fun space adventure.
Thumbs #3 // Review
Thumbs is at its best when drama mixes with action in a dizzyingly tumultuous world of exploitation and revolution.
Valkyrie: Jane Foster #1 // Review
An immensely enjoyable opening chapter to the story of Jane Foster’s first steps as the last Valkyrie.
Fearless #1 // Review
A new all-woman anthology series. It’s written by women. It’s drawn by women. It’s about characters who are women. Cool.
Martian Manhunter #7 // Review
The messy grittiness of a police assault on a rural human trafficking outpost feels weird and stringy.
Age of X-Man: Omega #1 // Review
Even enchantingly expressive art by Simone Buonfantino can’t save a conclusion that is haunted by the possibilities of what might have been.
Wasp #10 // Review
With any luck, there may be a resurgence in interest with this final issue and the subsequent trade collection.
Fairlady #4 // Review
The plot arcs quite elegantly in a series of scenes that make for a strange and bewildering adventure.
Age of X-Man: Apocalypse and the X-Tracts #5 // Review
An awkwardly expository moment as a rather large crossover event crumbles towards its final issue.
Naomi #6 // Review
Capably mixes adventure, mystery and a sense of wonder in its final issue.
Black Cat #2 // Review
Burglary mixes with mysticism in a cleverly simple story brought to the page with very stylish art.
Catwoman #13 // Review
A few different odd ends meeting together between two covers on the way out to a meeting with Lex Luthor.
Thumbs #2 // Review
Thumbs delivers a lot, but it’s difficult to tell quite where things are going in a blurry rush of exposition.
Postal Deliverance #1 // Review
The steady drama that Hawkins’ readers have come to expect over the past few years.
ManEaters #10 // Review
The hard edge of the satire suffers a bit as the series switches gears to a much more confrontational dynamic.
Harley Quinn #63 // Review
Heavy moments between Harley and her mother are balanced against the comedy of Harley and Death.
Lois Lane #1 // Review
This timely and political first issue of Lois Lane is an instant classic, and a great start to the series.
