Greetings, Wednesday Warriors! It’s that time of the week again—time to storm the gates and bring home a fresh stack of new comics. Before you head to the shop, arm yourself with a few recommendations. And for you big spenders out there, we also have a complete list of this week’s releases. Also, if you need a gift for the comic book fan in your life, check out our recent gift list for the naughty and/or nice nerd in your life.
BLACK WIDOW #8
Written By: Chris Samnee and Mark Waid
Art By: Chris Samnee
Colors By: Matthew Wilson
Letters By: Joe Caramagna
Black Widow #8 contains an amazing action that features the title character battling a group of child assassins in the White House. It’s exciting, fast, and strangely unnerving. The violence inflicted by children in this series is often graphic and intense, even when it’s staged like a finely crafted spy thriller. Necks break, bystanders are gunned down. Chris Samnee choreographs the action in a truly stunning fashion, perfectly drawing your eye throughout the page. The combination of Samnee and Matthew Wilson is n unstoppable force. This comic looks so damn good, guys. The story is a winner, too. Black Widow #8 is just a bombastic reminder that this series is complete and total perfection.
DEADLY CLASS #24
Deadly Class #24 from Image Comics
Written By: Rick Remender
Art By: Wes Craig
Colors By: Jordan Boyd
Letters By: Rus Wooton
My heart is still broken. The wounds from Deadly Class #21 still have not healed, but this issue certainly helps. Rick Remender and Wes Craig have an uncanny ability to make us care about characters. We’re already so invested in this new class, although we’re cautious with our affection after the pain of previous arcs. Remender’s master of story and dialogue is clearly on display in Deadly Class, even more so than his other stellar titles. Craig is a superb storyteller and can handle a quiet conversation just as well as a blistering fight scene. Deadly Class #24 has more conversations than it does fights, but the ending would lead us to believe that is all about to change. This series continues to play with our emotions. Oh, and it has a really big, elaborate fart sequence. What’s not to love?
CONAN THE SLAYER #5
Conan the Slayer #5 from Dark Horse Comics
Written By: Cullen Bunn
Art By: Sergio Davila
Colors By: Michael Atiyeh
Letters By: Richard Starkings & Comicraft
We need to start a petition that says Sergio Davila is never allowed to stop drawing Conan comic books. Holy cow, folks, Conan the Slayer #5 is a stunner! Sergio Davila’s artwork is so fluid and graceful, it’s perfect for the bloody, epic battles that Conan partakes in. Cullen Bunn is on fire, too, just nailing the character’s voice throughout. With each issue, Conan the Slayer gets better and better. It’s visceral and brutal, just everything you could wanted in a fantasy comic. Even if you buy this issue just to check out the gory violence, it is money well spent. So mean, so gorgeous.
SEVEN TO ETERNITY #3
Seven to Eternity #3 from Image Comics
Written By: Rick Remender
Art By: Jerome Opena
Colors By: Matt Hollingsworth
Letters By: Rus Wooton
The third issue of Seven to Eternity answers a lot of questions. The title makes sense now. The story has come into focus. Rick Remender and Jerome Opena have already, in just three short issues, built an impossibly big world. Even as things come into focus, the journey our lead characters are on seems to grow bigger. It started small, with a family. Then there was a fight at a castle. Now, we have a massive adventure with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. This is like the best Dungeons and Dragons campaign you have never had the opportunity to play. It’s an adventure that you get sucked into. It certainly helps that Opena is freaking peerless and his lush artwork has the ability to transport you to another dimension. Matthew Hollingsworth? He’s brilliant, too. Rus Wooton? Best in the biz. Seven to Eternity is in a class all its own and you need to be reading it.
That’s it for us. What’s on your pull list this week? Share it with us in the comments below!
