the inescapable gravity of the format crushes anything meaningful.
All in Drama
DC/RWBY #1 // Review
Bennett rolls somewhat gracefully through the motions.
Batman vs. Robin #5 // Review
Waid paces the action remarkably well.
Blue Book #1 // Review
Tynion is simply presenting the story of Betty and Barney Hill.
She-Hulk #10 // Review
Rowell’s pacing is just so...indie.

Young Diana hits a particularly breathtaking high point.
Spider-Man #5 // Review
Slott takes a reasonably sophisticated approach.
Cherish #4 // Review
Straight-ahead action mystery.
The Last Barbarians #1 // Review
Wall and Haberlin set up quite a challenge for themselves.
Wasp #2 // Review
A fair amount of the issue is dialogue-heavy exposition
3 Keys #5 // Review
On the surface, there REALLY isn’t much to the story.
Mary Jane & Black Cat #3 // Review
MacKay crosses the midway point of the series with style and poise.

Without the usual trappings of a Batman story, it’s just...Bruce Wayne.
Static: Shadows of Dakota #1 // Review
There’s a steady rhythm to the opening issue.
Poison Ivy #9 // Review
Wilson gives Ivy quite a bit of happiness this issue.

The conflict between Scarlet Witch and Nightmare’s daughter is cleverly rendered.

Raynor draws heavy shadows over everything.
Justice Society of America #2 // Review
Johns is clearly going for something very, very ambitious.
