Epic action served up at a frantic pace with great, great, great art. This book might have the championship belt for “best title that Marvel is currently publishing”.

Wow! What a great first issue! Spencer & Ward have come up with a very original title and I can't wait to see where it ends up.

Another great issue. Be sure to pick it up when you head to the shop on Wednesday or get them to fetch you a copy. I'd also say this issue was worth tracking down on eBay and paying a few extra bucks for the shipping. This comic has a neat element of fun weirdness that we don't see everyday.

A young woman comes of age during the Cuban revolution. It's a brilliant OGN! This deserves a spot on everyone's bookshelf for telling an intensely personal story that shines a bright light on Castro's Cuba.

Another “must read” issue. I love this.

An incredible GEM of an indy comic. Right up there with Rambo 3.5 as my favorite political satire comics of the year. If you're looking to broaden your horizons a little and read something that is truly “independent” head over to Mr. Marra's website and pick up a copy of this comic. You won't be sorry and even if you don't love it as much as I do, you'll be a better comics reader for the experience.

A very satisfying conclusion to a nice action-comedy miniseries.

If you hate decompressed storytelling and writing for the trade, this is an issue (and series) for you. Since slowing the car down to accept new readers around issue #12, Waid has made cool things happen about 5 issues in a row.

A really strong series that should be getting more support. Pick it up! It is just good, grown up story-telling.

A very good story with a chilling rite of passage for one hero.

A true history lesson on DC comics that walks you through from the Golden Age until the present. Some of these covers are truly iconic things whereas others show the neat romance comics and the like that are a part of DC's heritage. The only downside is how necessary a coffee table sized reference book is in the digital age when you can find this information online.

If you loved 80′s slasher films, you need to read this. Very satisfying ending to the first story arc at Image!

Publication and numbering issues aside, this is a very good origin story for a favorite character. I'm sure this origin info will be used when Tim Seeley restarts the Hack/Slash ongoing series at Image in a few weeks.

The novelty of this story isn't wearing off. I love the homage to old-timey comics!

Even though I've picked a little bit, I do like this comic series and am looking forward to issue #3. Palmiotti and Gray have a neat sci-fi/WWII story going and I want to see how it turns out. Definitely worth picking up when you visit the comic shop on Thursday (since it's Labor Day this week).

A nice event tie-in that doesn't try to be more than it is with really neat old-styled art.

This was just a fun, quick miniseries. I enjoyed it and will buy the issues again if Maberry revisits this future Punisher.

A very interesting supernatural end makes one eager to see what will happen in the second issue.

Still one of the most original comics on the shelf, but the story is becoming a touch complex.

Good, but I'm ready to move to the conclusion of this story arc.

Not the best effort from either a story or art standpoint. However, this series has been strong enough that it'll take more than one mediocre issue to make one lose faith. Hopefully, the next issue will return to the themes that have made Incorruptible good and different.
