Hey there, Wednesday Warriors! Itâs that time of the week againâtime 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 weekâs releases. This week is a showcase for kick ass ladies, as Supergirl: Rebirth and Black Widow easily take our top spots.
SUPERGIRL: REBIRTH #1
Written By: Steve Orlando
Art By: Emanuela Lupacchino and Ray McCarthy
Colors By: Michael Atiyeh
Letters By: Steve Wands
The Super titles are on fire. We loved Superman and Superwoman, so it seems only natural that we’d love the hell out of Supergirl: Rebirth #1. Like the other titles in this family, there’s a fair amount of “I don’t know what is going on here,” but if you can get behind Supergirl punching a giant alien werewolf dude, you’ll like this comic book. Steve Orlando is definitely DC’s secret weapon these days, turning everything he touches into gold. Fun, adventure filled gold. Of Course, even without Orlando’s fine scripting skills, this comic would still be near the top thanks to some incredible art from Emanuela Lupacchino, Ray McCarthy, and Michael Atiyeh. This is a pretty comic book filled with beautiful characters. We mean that literallyâevery one is beautiful. This is like a big budget Hollywood movie where even the ugly kid is just a supermodel with a pair of glasses. Supergirl is officially on our pull list, because this book is just too much fun to put down.
BLACK WIDOW #6
Written By: Chris Samnee and Mark Waid
Art By: Chris Samnee
Colors By: Matthew Wilson
Letters By: VC’s Joe Caramagna
Every time you think you have Natasha figured out, she pulls the rug out from under and makes sure you know you were being played along. It doesn’t matter how bruised and bloodied she is, Black Widow always has the upper hand. Chris Samnee and Mark Waid handle this comic with such precision and care; there’s nothing out of place, no moment they don’t have control over. The action is staged perfectly, the storytelling divine. There’ nobody in the industry today as good as Samnee, nobody that even comes close. Matthew Wilson’s colors are brilliant, as always, and Joe Caramagna’s lettering is buttery smooth. If you are not reading Black Widow, you are torturing yourself and you don’t even know it.
BLACK HAMMER #2
Written By: Jeff Lemire
Art By: Dean Ormston
Colors By: Dave Stewart
Letters By: Todd Klein
Man, take a look at that cover. Look at that cover and tell me honestly you don’t immediately want to read this comic book. You can’t, because it’s simply too damn cool. The second issue of Black Hammer focuses on the backstory of Golden Gail, the child-sized character from the farm. She’s not a child, as we know, but she’s stuck looking like one and in this issue we learn why. It’s a cool, unique setupâsort of a Shazam in reverseâthat also plays well as homage. Jeff Lemire is building quite the world here and Dean Ormston is fleshing it out beautifully. We still don’t know much about these characters and why they are seemingly trapped in this small town, but if all their stories are as interesting as Golden Gail’s, consider us on board for the long run. Especially if you keep that Dean Ormston fella around, he fills a Mignola size hole in our heart and we could use more of that these days. Black Hammer #2, you’re rad.
HOUSE OF PENANCE #5
Written By: Peter J. Tomasi
Art By: Ian Bertram
Colors By: Dave Stewart
Letters By: Nate Piekos
Describing House of Penance is not an easy task. It’s about the Winchester Mystery House, kinda, but it’s much more of a twisted horror story. It’s like Shakespeare and that damn spot. The blood never goes away and it slowly fills up the pages as our characters our consumed by demons and madness. It’s hard to say what is real and what is not, but the ghosts that haunt these pages are slowly taking over the comic, slow splitting the pages in two. You don’t read House of Penance, you experience it. You survive it. Peter J. Tomasi’s script is like a Lovecraftian riddle, a slow-building sense of doom and dread. Ian Bertram is a mad man that has been let loose. His pages are incantations calling forth all sorts of unspeakable terrors and darkness. This comic book is insane and bloody brilliant. Just trust us and read it. It’ll keep you up at night and you might find yourself looking over your shoulder, but it’s worth it. Bathe in blood and read House of Penance #5.
Thatâs it for us. Whatâs on your pull list this week? Share it with us in the comments below!
