Max Sisco Comic Reviews

Border is refreshing in its toeing of the line between that good ol' boys' love and being a truly heartfelt, sometimes sad exploration of found family and overcoming grief.

Yarksy and Lewis pour so much love and creative energy into every page of Coyotes #5. Frankly, if you're not reading it, you're missing out on too much pure awesome graphic storytelling goodness and I feel sorry for you.

Daredevil #606 is a tight and enjoyable read, with gorgeous art that just seems to jump off the page.

Soule and Noto are absolutely on fire with these last two issues, and I only hope they can keep this momentum through the rest of their run because this is the most excited I've been about Daredevil in years.

Dazzler X-Song #1 isn't necessarily bad, that doesn't mean it's good either.

Deadly Class #33 boast some stellar sequences that give us more insight into these characters than ever before.

Whenever I pitch this series to people, I describe it as a coming-of-age story hijacked by Quentin Tarantino, and this issue perfectly encapsulates why that is. I'm not so totally wrapped up in my love for this series that I can't see why people wouldn't like it, but that's definitely more a personal preference problem than that the series isn't objectively good. Deadly Class is not for everyone, but the people who it is for are sure to appreciate just how well it does its job.

Death of Inhumans #1 is haunting and dark, and the perfect way to send off characters who have a dark history.

Death or Glory #1 is made great by not only the writing and art, but the strong collaboration between the two.

Domino #1, while not the perfect incarnation of her, does a great job of introducing the plot and characters, as well as boasting some well rendered art.

Eternity Girl #3 ups the ante from the previous issue and proves why it deserves to be on your pull list and continue beyond its planned six issues.

Mera: Queen of Atlantis #2 is a well paced issue that progresses the story well, but continues to be too tied into canon for anyone who isn't up to date on Aquaman to enjoy.

Mera: Queen of Atlantis #4 turns the series around so that maybe it won't be a waste to read in trade.

Outpost Zero #1 perfectly balances world building with immersive characterization and art that fits the tone and story perfectly.

Outpost Zero #2 boasts stellar youth-based storytelling and strong art that understands its characters and environment, but maybe not enough plot progression.

Runaways #7 is full of parallels and although it's not action packed it's funny, poignant, and the perfect comic for millennials.

Runaways #8 kicks the action into high gear while threading the themes of the run into the fabric of the comic. Also Dr. Doom wears a ridiculous three piece suit.

Runaways continues to be one of the best books on the shelves. With a creative team firing on all cylinders, every month is guaranteed to be a great one with this on your pull list.

Saga #50 subverts anniversary issue tropes, and delivers a nice look at these characters lives and what drives them going forward.

Wonderfully cosmic and cosmically wonderful, Shade, the Changing Woman #2 steps up the foundation of the first issue and launches the pace for the rest of the series.

Skyward #1 is light on plot but makes up for it with a great world and tons of possibilities on where to take it.

Skyward isn't a dazzling book but it's clever, with pitch perfect art and many places it can take the story, and sometimes that's all you need.

Snotgirl #10 gives you just enough to keep you interests while boasting great visuals and a killer drug sequence.

Wayward #26 rises above and delivers a wonderful start to the last arc of the series.

Wayward #28 has fast paced action at the detriment of the characters, while also boasting some of the series best art.

Wonder Woman Annual #2 is a jumble of bad writing and passable to gorgeous art.
