Starks’ dark humor is always great and Henderson can make you laugh in a single panel with just a raised eyebrow. Kyle Starks and Erica Henderson’s love letter to action films is one of the few comics out there that will literally make you laugh out loud. With each issue, the cast of characters gets smaller and smaller, but the violence and mayhem only seems to increase. The delightful chaos of Assassin Nation is always a treat.
Its very essence will make you a better person and that is a scientific fact.
USAGI YOJIMBO OMNIBUS SKIN
Fegredo coming back to Hellboy is reason enough to buy two copies of this comic one to read and one to just hold against your skin and absorb. This should be at the top of your pull list. There’s a new Hellboy comic written by Mike Mignola with art by Duncan Fegredo. Things seem like they are finally coming to a head in this arc and we’re excited to see how it all ties up, as long as Jarro survives we’ll be okay with whatever the outcome is. Fernandez is a great artist and he handles the huge cast of character remarkably well. Sure, the multiverse is dying and the world is ending, but it’s pretty damn entertaining watching it happen. James Tynion and Javier Fernandez have filled this issue with just about every single DC character and it’s pretty awesome. It’s dense and weird, which is sorta what a good Justice League comic should be. This book just gets more expansive and stranger with each passing issue. When we need our dose of huge, crazy superhero mayhem, we go to the Justice League. Guardians of the Galaxy is all-around awesome.
USAGI YOJIMBO OMNIBUS FULL
From the big fights to the full team shot of the Guardians walking into battle, Shaw infuses so much life and energy into every page. Shaw is a superstar in the making and this issue proves it. Cates has an affinity for the cosmic stuff and that’s on full display here. This issue is stuffed to the brim with Marvel’s cosmic characters and it’s overflowing with crazy superhero action. They clearly bring out the best in each other and when they are on a book together, it’s really something special. Little Bird unrestrained imagination and, really, that’s what comic books are all about.ĭonny Cates and Geoff Shaw are a true dream team. This thing feels alive and we’re just lucky to be in its presence. It’s thoroughly brilliant and explosively kinetic. To say that Little Bird is a masterpiece is probably to sell it short. As usual, Bertram’s art with Matt Hollingsworth’s colors is the main attraction. Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram’s apocalyptic vision of a future ruled by religious zealots and military fetishists is a big, grand nightmare hurtling towards a final issue that cannot possibly end well for any of these characters. This is your monthly reminder that Little Bird is a stunning work of art. Usagi and his many, many enemies have never looked so good. It’s practically perfect and that’s before you even get to Tom Luth’s colors-yes, Usagi Yojimbo is in color now-which only inject a vibrant sense of life and movement into the pages.
USAGI YOJIMBO OMNIBUS SERIES
Everything we love about this series is in this issue: Sakai’s gorgeous artwork, his expert pacing, lots of awesome samurai fights, demons, and just a hint of goofy humor. Sakai’s work is always new-reader-friendly, and this issue is no different if you’ve been waiting to jump into the world of this rabbit ronin, now is as good of a time as any. While this issue of Usagi Yojimbo may have a #1 on the cover, it is not a fresh start or a reboot. For over three decades, Stan Sakai has produced this wondrous bit of cartooning that never ceases to entertain and inspire. Daredevil is a must-read Marvel book and it somehow just gets better and better with each issue. Lalit Kumar Sharma and Jay Leisten provide stellar art and smooth storytelling, you only have to read the first page of this issue to see just how much they add to this series. This series has been fantastic with Zdarsky at the helm, evolving into a twisted and brutal superhero saga that feels human and immediate in all the best ways. Chip Zdarsky is really pummeling ol’ horn-head, leading him down a path that only seems to get darker and bleaker with each issue. The worse Matt Murdock’s life gets, the better his comic gets.
Daredevil is a pretty consistent bummer… in a good way.
