Obi-Wan and Anakin #2

Palpatine grooming Anakin to question his Jedi teachings brings the padawan to a place of spiritual danger and darkness.

Old Man Logan #1

Logan is Marty McFly with razor sharp claws and a lot less fucks to give.

Jacked #3

The desire to matter – to be super – also proves deeper and more driving than Jaffe’s concern for his own safety and wellbeing.

Justice League of America #7

Superman’s trinity is “Truth, Justice, and the American Way,” for which he fights a never-ending battle of a more infinite importance than any finite lives.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow #101 – “Pilot”

Past experience has proved that even eventually excellent superhero shows have poor pilots, and the dismal debut of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow certainly doesn’t buck this trend.

Replica #1

Replica tries to be as many books as Churchill has clones; it’s a character-centered comedy, police procedural, serious science-fiction examining the ethics of an emerging technology… even mystery, noir, and thriller.

SuperZero #1

Dru Dragowski is essentially the female Dave Lizewski: an every-nerd relegated to reality with heroic aspirations far more fantastic.

Star Wars #15

The temptation to intercede, to go from cloister to crusader, is particularly potent, practically palpable in this issue.

Oxenfree

Oxenfree combines the magic of analogue and the magic of adolescence sublimely, both working in conjunction with one another to unify its theme of juxtaposing past and future.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #0

Higgins’ greatest success is tonal, ridding the Rangers of their unintentional camp, delivering a series both brightly colored and yet clearly for adults instead of their children or childhood selves.
