Take a look at the cover of the first issue of Buzzard, and you'll know exactly what you're about to read. It's unapologetically British, with a punk rock flair and off-the-wall violence.

You won't regret picking up this fun, action-packed independent comic. It's got the best parts of Deadpool and Kingsman.

If you enjoyed the first Canto series, you will appreciate The Hollow Men without a doubt. It's a fantasy comic book filled with so much heart. Anyone of any age can (and should) pick up this book.

Overall, the first issue of DARK RED is a satisfying introduction to this vampire story with something to say about the political divide the country is facing.

The story presses forward, but it only adds to the pile of questions that need to be answered before this series wraps up.

This is it. The moment readers have been waiting for since the first issue of Heroes in Crisis hit the shelves back in September. Though the big revelation should be the apex of this issue, it's the character study - nay, deconstruction - that drives the book, and the series as a whole.

For fans of the original series, Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Sirens #1 is good for the kids and for the inner-child. It's simplistic, but worth a look.

Thanks to top notch storytelling from Scott Snyder and artistry by Jorge Jimnez, JUSTICE LEAGUE #19 continues to prove its worth as one of the top current DC titles to read.

If you were looking for more exposition in this series which is overflowing with world-building and mythology, Justice League #22 is for you.

What more can be said that hasn't been thus far about this run of Justice League? The team of Snyder, Jimenez, and Sanchez are crafting a space opera chock full of surprising stories, exceptional worldbuilding, and stunning artwork.

Justice League #24 is as much an energetic chase through space as it is a thought-provoking piece of storytelling.

As far as comic book conclusions go, which tend to feel rushed, Justice League #25 has proficient pacing, giving the right amount of time for each beat in the over-sized issue.

Though it isn't as exciting as anything from the "Sixth Dimension" story,Justice League #26is an admirable entry in this series, easily setting up its new arc, while also adding crucial bits to the "Year of the Villain" event.

The story and artwork featuring Martian Manhunter is strong and on point, making up for the middle pages in "Apex Predator" which comes off as a bit flimsy.

While the scene with the Justice League felt a bit off, it was the moments between Lex Luthor and J'onn J'onnz that made this issue as gripping as it is.

In the 20 short pages that make up Justice League #30, you will find a continuation of impressive universe-building, stunning artwork, and an ending so mind-bogglingly exciting you'll be counting the minutes until the next issue is released.

A thriller filled with violence and swearing, Lad: The Homecoming #1 is a solid crime noir with an added layer of dark magic and mystery that will hopefully become more and more prominent as the story unfolds.

Mary Shelley: Monster Hunter #1 is a slow burning introduction. It doesn't thrust the reader into the action, but offers some promise at the end of the issue.

It's a fun, bloody book for anyone who enjoys animal puns and anthropomorphic assassins.

Middlewest #9 is fantastical storytelling and breathtaking artistry - capturing one's complete attention as if by magic.

Middlewest #10 is a fantastic step forward in Abel's quest. It is a sorrowful yet bewitching piece of storytelling, enhanced by pitch-perfect artwork.

"Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt" begins as an all too familiar story, but winds up becoming a wholly unique superhero adventure.

An admirable setup to a seemingly interesting concept, packed with compelling narration and artwork that displays a great attention to detail, Coddlesworth's Clockwork Circus is perfect for those who love to be transported to fantastical lands and epic storylines.

This most recent take on Sabrina is a delightful concoction of the wholesome, coming-of-age, and chilling versions of the character.

There is so much humor packed in its pages, but the true spirit of Second Coming is within the moral dilemma presented, a profound message that will ring true for anyone of any background.

The Shazam! family learns about their connection to the seven realms of The Magiclands, as well as the true intentions of King Kid.

Tom King and Andy Kubert present a great jumping on point for new readers, as well as an interesting angle on Superman's unquenchable need to save the day for established fans.

With a new arc and artist, the story takes a (hopefully) brief detour from the chaos in the realm of The Dreaming. Still, it's a well-structured tale of tragedy and Desire, that devotees of the original SANDMAN might appreciate more than new readers.

"The Legend of Knute Brody" by Paul Dini and Dustin Ngueyen is a humorous, even silly vignette, worthy of its place among the weighty stories of Detective Comics #1000.

Did you order extra cheese with this issue of Wonder Twins?
