1. Daredevil #7 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Chip Zdarsky / Art: Lalit Kumar Sharma & Jay Leisten / Colors: Java Tartaglia
Beautiful. Just… beautiful. I love scruffy Matt Murdock, and the religious elements really moved me too. There were even a couple of surprises. This may be a perfect book.
2. Guardians of the Galaxy #6 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Donny Cates / Art: Geoff Shaw / Colors: David Curiel
Nice, solid ending to the Final Gauntlet story. Geoff Shaw’s art continues to dazzle. Donny cates provides a beauty of an ending. This will be hard to top.
3. Captain America #11 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Ta-Nehisi Coates / Art: Adam Kubert / Colors: Matt Milla
That was a very enjoyable action read. Dialog was spot on and the book just flowed. Art was aces too. Nice rebound.
4. War of the Realms: Journey into Mystery #5 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: The McElroys / Art: Andre Lima Araujo / Colors: Chris O’Halloran
Fun wrap up for the Journey into Mystery storyline. A few surprises along with some nice action. This was a very enjoyable ride.
5. Uncanny X-Men #20 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Matthew Rosenberg / Art: Salvador Larroca / Colors: Guru-eFX
Another quality issue. Tight writing with a strong, clear narrative. I’m actually a bit surprised. I like where this is going. Took long enough.
6. Offbeats #4 (Antarctic Press) ★★★★
Writer: John Ward / Art: Giles Crawford / Colors: Lee Milewski
Gritty never felt so cool (if a bit grim). I love how it wrapped everything up… or did it? We shall see.
