Welcome, Wednesday Warriors! It’s new comic book day! But before you head to the local comic shop, arm yourself with a few recommendations—add a new title or two to your list. And for you big spenders out there, we also have a complete list of this week’s releases. Live your best life and read comic books. Without them, you dwell in darkness.
ABBOTT #1
Abbott #1 from BOOM! Studios
Written By: Saladin Ahmed
Art By: Sami Kivela
Colors By: Jason Wordie
Letters By: Jim Campbell
Abbott #1 is a spectacular first issue. It captures a sense of place and time perfectly (Detroit, 1972) while still peppering in a feeling of supernatural horror. Saladin Ahmed, Sami Kivela, and Jason Wordie deliver a dense, engaging read which introduces us to the intrepid reporter known as Abbott who is haunted by strange, almost Lovecraftian, spirits. It’s part investigative journalism and part pulp thriller, which makes for a great comic book, right up to the cliffhanger ending that comes out of nowhere in the best possible way. The art is gorgeous and Wordie’s colors are pitch perfect. Really, really stunning stuff all throughout. We’re ready for the next issue of Abbott right freaking now.
BLACK SCIENCE #34
Written By: Rick Remender
Art By: Matteo Scalera
Colors By: Moreno Dinisio
Letters By: Rus Wooton
Somehow, this is both the biggest, craziest issue of Black Science and the most subtle, soft issue. The insane chaos that reigned throughout most of the series dominates the majority of these pages, as cities and worlds collapse under a never-ending assault of monsters, ghosts, and death cults. It’s the sort of madness that artist Matteo Scalera delivers like no other artist can; frantic, violent, and explosive. All of this then capped with a quiet scene, a conversation, and meditation that gives closure while leaving the future wide open. Where does Black Science go from here? Where can it possibly take us? We’ll have to wait a few months to see, which is going to be tough. We’re more invested in this series than we are the lives of our extended family. Nobody cares about your stupid cat, Aunt Karen! We care about Black Science.
THE WILD STORM #11
The Wild Storm #11 from DC Comics
Written By: Warren Ellis
Art By: Jon Davis-Hunt
Colors By: Steve Buccellato
Letters By: Simon Bowland
The Wild Storm is, one day, going to be remembered as Warren Ellis’ masterpiece. Just you wait. His collaboration with Jon Davis-Hunt is layered, complex, funny, and expansive. Longtime fans of the Wildstorm Universe will adore all it, but that’s not to say you have to have read all that previous stuff in order to enjoy this comic. Ellis and Davis-Hunt deftly unfold a story that feels like the tip of an iceberg, just a small glimpse into a massive world we can only barely comprehend. It’s the sort of thing Ellis has always done well and Davis-Hunt is the perfect artist for it. The Wild Storm #11 does a lot of stage setting, which only makes us even more excited for what’s to come. This series is offically required reading, people. Add it to your pull lists immedately.
Okay, that’s it for us this week! Check out the complete list of this week’s books below and let us know in the comments what you’re reading and loving these days.
