What a week for comic book fans, huh? Electro’s Amazing Spider-Man 2 costume was revealed, there’s a brand new Man of Steel trailer, the Eisner Award nominations are out, and now there’s a heaping helping of brand new comics to help us get through Hump Day. With the return of a franchise favorite and a double whammy of writer-illustrator offerings, you’ve got your Comic Book Day work cut out for you.
Top Picks
Danger Girl: Trinity #1 | Andy Hartnell, John Royle, Harvey Tolibao and Stephen Molnar
While it may not be J. Scott Campbell behind the script, this is still the high-octane action-adventure we expect from a Danger Girl book. With maritime mayhem, knife-wielding monkeys and copious amounts of booty (we mean treasure, so get your mind out of the gutter). Hartnell’s rollicking script and a J. Scott Campbell cover provide for the beginning of an excellent adventure with the sorely missed Abbey Chase.
Black Beetle: No Way Out #3 | Francesco Francavilla
Much like the moment when the Game of Thrones end credits roll, the moment when I finish an issue of Francesco Francavilla’s Black Beetle: No Way Out is the worst part of my month, because that means that there’s the longest possible period of time until I can get my hands on a new issue. It’s that good. The seedy world of Colt City and its pulpy protector, the Black Beetle, come to life through Francavilla’s tightly paced writing and eye-popping artwork. Following up on his lead from the city’s rat-riddled underground, the plot gets thicker than a New York deli sandwich once our goggled gangbuster sees a familiar face at the Coco Club – namely one that should be dead. Suffice it to say, this book just keeps getting better. I only have one question: Is it May yet?
Miniature Jesus #1 | Ted McKeever
From its title to the closing page, the first part of Ted McKeever’s 5-part Miniature Jesus mini-series from Image Comics is weird… but in a good way. Dealing with difficult-to-navigate issues like alcoholism, religion, mental health and more, McKeever’s well-crafted narrative draws us into his odd demon and talking mummified cat-filled world and makes us feel that same sense of uneasy curiosity that we felt when we saw Twin Peaks for the first time.
