last week's comics this week, 2023w41-42
If, as Wells says, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN No. 35 sets up the next 25 issues, I'm not intrigued. Gave the three black-costume issues (with a concept that was beyond fascinating and had deep potential and should have been far more than a filler between arcs – I mean, Slott had Doc Ock in Peter's body for how long?) a try but eh: I'm out. At least that JRJR cover was creepily fantastic / fantastically creepy
Debut issue of WESLEY DODDS: THE SANDMAN fine but ultimately forgettable: a shame, as he's one of my favorite characters. Glad I read it, but I won't be continuing; at least we'll always have SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE, one of the greatest series of all time (and I did appreciate the nod to the first arc in here).
Late pickup, but after three issues, I'm fully "in" on Taylor & Scott's TITANS; I rarely like team books yet I love this. And, because of my lateness in getting the third issue, I only have to wait a week until the fourth. Win win.
NIGHTS: wasn't sure at first, but intrigued me enough by the end to make me want to pick up the next issue. Feels like something special brewing here.
Debut of DESTINY GATE was a neat premise that failed to hold in execution.
While BATMAN & ROBIN No. 2 was beautiful to behold, something's not working for me. Done.
Late to the game, but I will buy anything Stan Sakai makes. SPACE USAGI: YOKAI HUNTER one shot was so good. Can’t wait for the next series (and the next issue of USAGI).
Take more of my money, Black Label: Christian Ward's BATMAN: CITY OF MADNESS, No. 1 = oh my. One of my favorite writer/artists working today.
