Jodi Houser does an admirable job of preserving the mystery in the second issue of Natasha’s latest mini-series.
All in Female Lead
Harley Quinn #66 // Review
Thanks to clever oddness from Huphries and Basri, it’s still quite a bit of fun.
Hellmouth #1 // Review
Hellmouth #1 is a compelling enough continuation of the story that’s been ongoing in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.
Lois Lane #4 // Review
Lois Lane #4 is a great example of why Lois is a linchpin of the DC Universe.
Nomen Omen #1 // Review
An interesting story of an aboriginal magic cast in the modern world.
Black Cat #5 // Review
Felicia’s emotional somersaults in and amidst the action is great fun.
Man-Eaters #12 // Review
It’s a weirdly satisfying end to a pleasantly odd satire.
SFSX #1 // Review
SFSX does a great job at intentionally overlapping sex and social commentary without being heavy-handed.
Fearless #3 // Review
The themed anthology format works strikingly well, especially in an era of high-priced individual comics.
Ghost-Spider #2 // Review
McGuire and company maintain a remarkably balanced work/life/superhero balance in the issue.
Pretty Violent #2 // Review
The art IS still overpowering the story in the second issue, but far less so than it did in the debut issue last month.
Batgirl #39 // Review
A fully-engaging conflict in another cleverly-balanced issue by the new creative team.
Harleen #1 // Review
Stjepan Šejić’s Harleen #1 is a sexy retelling of Harley Quinn’s origin.
Valkyrie: Jane Foster #3 // Review
A story that is well-written with poorly-paired art styles.
Aero #3 // Review
Lei is given just enough personality in and around the action to command a very unique presence.
Supergirl #34 // Review
A relatively substantial issue in spite of the uneven narrative mix.
Catwoman #15 // Review
There's a sharp mix of heroism and villainy in the wrap-up.
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #7 // Review
Writer Saladin Ahmed partners with artist Joey Vazquez, color artist Ian Herring, and letterer Joe Caramagna to make a story that's one part YA contemporary and three parts superhero adventure.
Black Cat #4 // Review
A whimsical sense of narrative tilt in another deliciously entertaining issue.
Coffin Bound #2 // Review
Watters’ horror is potent.
