Namor (2024) #7

Feb 6, 2025

Overall, Namor #7 is another smashing success, that sets up what will likely be a wild finale. The creative team finally gives Namor his due by producing an epic length tale befitting one of Marvel's longest running characters.

Star Trek: Defiant (2023) #22

Jan 12, 2025

Star Trek: Defiant #22 is another stand out issue of an excellent ongoing comic. The story stands apart from its sister series by defining its own stakes with a darker tone and more flexible sense of morality while populated with an array of likable but flawed characters. These disparate elements along with fantastic story, art and character accuracy stitch together into another classic Trek story.

Deadpool / Wolverine (2025) #2

Feb 15, 2025

Overall, Deadpool/Wolverine #2 continues its high octane storytelling with more amazing action, humor, art and character work, rather than simply coasting on the title characters' immense popularity.

Deadpool / Wolverine (2025) #4

Apr 27, 2025

Deadpool/Wolverine #4 is formulaic, but the creative team's over-the-top, top shelf execution makes for a rousing adventure that mixes in the action comedy dynamic, horror tropes and an intriguing mystery focusing on the story's central villain (or savior).

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2024) #3

Jan 19, 2025

Overall, Star Trek: Lower Decks #3 is another winning issue featuring some familiar Trek tropes, requisite Lower Decks humor amid a line-wide universal crisis. Any fan lamenting the loss of the Paramount+ series should warp on over to their nearest comic book shop and pick up a copy.

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2024) #4

Feb 13, 2025

Overall, Star Trek: Lower Decks #4 is another enjoyable chapter, albeit a more somber one. Whether this crisis is actually resolved or will reappear in some form (and will somehow link to the other Trek series' events) is unknown but in lieu of more animated adventures, this series is a welcome addition.

Uncanny X-Men (2024) #11

Mar 7, 2025

Uncanny X-Men #11 kicks off the X-Manhunt event in style, setting a high bar for every chapter to follow. Even if the rest of this event doesn't measure up, It is worth picking up for the story, art and characters dynamics alone.

Star Trek (2022) #28

Jan 23, 2025

Overall Star Trek #28 is a necessary story and it dovetails effectively into Benjamin Sisko's experiences with the Bajoran Prophets. It is a quiet, contemplative, emotional journey, leagues away from some of the more recent action-oriented issues.

Detective Comics (2016) #1095

Mar 21, 2025

Overall, Detective Comics #1095 is another home run for DC Comics with gorgeous art, sharp writing, compelling character beats and a twisting plot that keeps the reader constantly off balance.

One World Under Doom (2025) #1

Feb 13, 2025

Overall, One World Under Doom #1 delivers a solid opening act, but it will take time to see how or even if the series will reshape the future of the Marvel Universe.

One World Under Doom (2025) #2

Mar 23, 2025

Overall, One World Under Doom #2 succeeds in further destabilizing the Marvel Universe as heroes again fail to meet the moment while the world embraces a known villain. The writing is solid (if unsettlingly relevant), and the art is impressive.

Wolverine (2024) #6
