Taken as a whole, it is a dazzling, little bit of magic.
All in Female Lead
Sonata #6 // Review
David Hine and Brian Haberlin continue a dive into pulpy adventure fantasy.
Coffin Bound #4 // Review
The final issue of the first series lacks some of the delicious creepiness that opened the story.
Invisible Woman #4 // Review
Waid puts together a solid story here, it just doesn’t necessarily feel like a Marvel story.
SFSX #2 // Review
A fun exploration into the nature of control and subversion in modern society.
Marauders #1 // Review
House of X and Powers of X are a hard act to follow, but this book nails it with ease.
Batgirl #40 // Review
Castellucci’s sharp characterization of Batgirl if impressively sophisticated.
Captain Marvel #11 // Review
The situation with Nuclear Man (issues 1-5) left Ripley with unresolved trauma, giving her nightmares for weeks. So she’s attempting to cope with this by becoming as powerful as possible to never need saving again. No matter what it takes, she won’t be put in that situation again.
Doctor Mirage #3 // Review
The heroine has more than enough charisma to make this issue feel fresh.
The Amazing Mary Jane #1 // Review
There are interesting little bits of promise emerging from an intriguing concept.
Jane Foster: Valkyrie #4 // Review
The series regains some momentum as CAFU puts in some very, very deft work.
Fearless #4 // Review
The final issue of Fearless wraps-up what really should be the first in several such series.
Ghost-Spider #3 // Review
McGuire’s broader plans for Gwen get pulled a bit more into focus in another thoroughly satisfying issue.
Aero #4 // Review
Liefen has an excellent understanding of pacing.
Gwenpool Strikes Back #3 // Review
If you want nothing more than fanservice this story is great—you can see your favorite heroes fight one on one in their swimsuits. But fanservice isn’t enough to carry an entire story.
Supergirl #35 // Review
Supergirl continues to make a very appealingly heroic presence.
Catwoman #16 // Review
Joëlle Jones returns as writer/artist auteur in a spooky, little pair of moods.
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #8 // Review
If the theme of Kamala's journey thus far has been growth and development, then this issue shows the often-overlooked consequences of these phenomenons. Saladin Ahmed writes about topics like corporate expansion and workers rights through the lens of a superhero/supervillain power struggle. Artists Joey Vazquez and Alex Arizmendi, colorist Ian Herring, and letterer VC's Joe Caramagna lend their talents to this very topical story.
Sonata #5 // Review
The strange and sudden end to a journey from a great distance away feels a bit jarring.
Coffin Bound #3 // Review
Dani gracefully scratches out the decaying detail on a world hanging on to life long after it has passed into the past.
