  • Freedom Fighters #1

    Both reflective of our times and also connecting with something innately timeless, Freedom Fighters #1 brings back the best of the previous series and establishes a solid foundation for the new tile.

  • Baltimore: The Plague Ships #2

  • Science Dog #1

    Science Dog is essential for any Invincible fan. If you’re like me, and you only follow the series through the trades, then this is a must for your collection.

  • Redball 6

    Redball 6 proves just how important establishing a consistent visual look is for a creator-owned comic book property.

  • 5 Days to Die #1

    I knew 5 Days to Die was something different from the very first panel – and I’m not talking about its clever weekly format.

  • Superman/Batman #75

    The publication of Superman/Batman #75 to celebrate DC's seventy-fifth anniversary is potentially the strongest rival to Batman #700 in all these celebratory milestones in terms of story content and artistic vision.

  • Zombie Outlaw #1

    Zombie Outlaw is a whimsical and humorous tall tale used to satirize the bumbling everyman in life.

  • Wonder Woman #602

    It would be a shame if audiences allowed what J. Michael Straczynski is doing in Superman or perhaps their own personal grudges against the new costume design to deprive them of one the strongest Wonder Woman stories in a long time.

    With Batman #702, Grant Morrison ends his short, three-issue return to the series that first launched his innovative exploration of the Dark Knight nearly four years ago.

  • Zeroids: The Return #1

    Zeroids is what happens when somebody takes all the clichéd plot devices from every horror and action movie, and treats them right. It reminds us why filmmakers and comic book writers still use the same story elements even though we as readers have seen them a million times before.

  • Ani-Max One Shot

    The creative duo of Marz and Kang deserve kudos for doing more for Ani-Max than simply showing up.

  • Philosopher Rex

    One of the greatest challenges facing any independently published comic or creator-owned work is consistency.

    Publisher: Arcana/Miller Bros.

  • The Darkness: Four Horsemen #1

    All in all, The Darkness: Four Horsemen was a fun read, driven by the strength of Hine’s lean, mean script.

  • Harbor Moon

    Simply put, Ryan Colucci, Dikran Ornekian, and Pawel Sambor’s Harbor Moon is one of the finest comic books I’ve read all year.

  • Superman: Secret Origin #6

    Like Mark Waid and Grant Morrison before him, Johns has crafted a timeless Superman narrative that makes the rereading all the more enjoyable.

  • Networked: Carabella on the Run

    Networked: Carabella on the Run is a comic book with a whole lot of head and very little heart.

  • Green Lantern Corps #51

    Although Green Lantern Corps has shown considerable progress and growth during Tony Bedard's short, four issue tenure on the title, the release of issue #51 reflects what many, multi-issue arcs do as of late as the middle installment diminishes the flow and pacing of the larger story.

    Coming off the stellar revelations in Brightest Day #7, Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi ride the high tide into issue #8.
