The mixture of fantasy and pulp sci-fi is charming enough to keep the action going.
All in Female Lead
Man-Eaters #11 // Reviews
The sharper edge of Cain’s satire is dulled a bit.
Invisible Woman #3 // Review
Waid continues to deliver here is a good mix of Marvel-style action with cloak-and-dagger intrigue.
Captain Marvel #10 // Review
Kelly Thompson blurs the line between friends and enemies, heroes and villains as Captain Marvel falls deeper into the mystery surrounding her recent power malfunction.
Gwenpool Strikes Back #2 // Review
It's hard to match Gwenpool's raw, chaotic energy. Unless you're Deadpool, the king of chaos himself.
Ghost-Spider Annual #1 // Review
The writing feels a bit weaker than the regular series on more than one level.
Web of Black Widow #1 // Review
A graceful intro in a stylishly moody opening chapter.
Harley Quinn #65 // Review
A very appealing issue that challenges Quinn's sanity at a moment of great triumph in the shadow of significant loss.
Supergirl #33 // Review
A sense of wonder is maintained in an enjoyably pulpy adventure.
Lois Lane #3 // Review
Lois Lane #3 makes the superhero comics’ first couple feel somehow both iconic and real.
Legion of Superheroes: Millennium #1 // Review
Fantastic art by four different superstar teams don’t help make Legion of Superheroes: Millennium #1 anything other than unnecessary.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 is a promising, if slight, beginning for the first Buffy/Angel crossover.
She-Hulk Annual #1 // Review
Petri and MacDonald deliver a story echoing some of the qualities of comic book great John Byrne’s pioneering work with the character.
Batgirl #38 // Review
Castellucci is putting together smart, interesting stuff that details Batgirl’s distinctive style of selflessness.
Doctor Mirage #1 // Review
A supernatural adventure which tilts the traditional ghost story on its head somewhere between Hell and everything else.
Vampirella #2 // Review
This is where Vampirella's story starts to get wild. Writer Christopher Priest, artist and colorist Ergün Gündüz, and letterer Willie Schubert take Vampirella on an adventure that can only be described as bizarre and bloody. Very bloody. What more would you expect from an alien vampire?
Valkyrie: Jane Foster #2 // Review
This may be 20 pages of very kinetic action, but there’s very, very deep drama driving it throughout.
Ghost Spider #1 // Review
McGuire's writing is particularly sharp in this debut issue of the new series.
Fearless #2 // Review
The final panels are very heavy-handed in their delivery, but they strike a powerful endnote.
Fairlady #5 // Review
A very engrossing story with a layout that is at times breathtaking.
