First Issues NOW!

War Wolf #1 (Mad Cave)

I will most definitely say this is a phenomenal book, but that solicit legitimately annoys me and almost hurts the actual book in reading it.

The Terminator: Metal #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

I didn't realize this was going to be an story-per-comic anthology so yeah, the ending actually gets a pretty good hit, but is it any good? Oh definitely.

Lady Gunfighter Condemnation #1 (Coffin Comics)

My inner 13 year old can never hate a book that is a Badass Chick Comic where you have a badass chick going around doing basically what every machismo machine male action hero was doing in the '80s. It's awesome.

Hector Plasm: Hunt The Bigfoot #1 (Image Comics)

It's fun. You should read it. It's hard to truly express the merits of a book that's just kinda fun. Read it and laugh.

X-Men: Book of Revelation #1 (Marvel Comics)

I don't know what to say. I mean it's not BAD, but the book itself doesn't really do anything. Aimless but not bad is still good right?

The Last Wolverine #1 (Marvel Comics)

Can we get this Wendigo to be the breakout character a la Blink from AoA or Miles from the Ultimate Universe? I won't mind if he gets to the 616 proper, either. This was legit spectacular!

THE LAST WOLVERINE #1, written by Saladin Ahmed, art by Edgar Salazar, colors by Carlos Lopez, with letters by Cory Petit.

Radioactive Spider-Man #1 (Marvel Comics)

Seriously, every week I cover a new Spider-Man book and every week, I get reminded on how to write a solid Spider-Man book that isn't Amazing Spider-Man. The hell?!

Omega Kids #1 (Marvel Comics)

I mean it says a lot about the comic that I don't hate it even if I usually wish Quentin Quire to die in a fire, right?

SAMMI'S PICK - Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (IDW Publishing)

TMNT? Then obviously Sammi's going to have some words about it. Interesting enough, it's a perfect example of how a good story can make a reader get over their smaller hangups like art.

SAMMI'S PICK - Fantastic Four/Gargoyles #1 (Marvel Comics)

Well, it's stars a cartoon series from the '90s so naturally, it's a Sammi's Pick episode and she loves it. Although, she didn't know that Dynamite has their own version coming out next month!

Endeavour #1 (DSTLRY)

A Lord of the Flies inspired epic about kids trapped on a modern recreation of the classic ship, the Endeavour. It's a really good set up issue.

The Last Day of H.P. Lovecraft #1 (Boom! Studios)

A translation of a French graphic novel, it is an overly grandiose look at the last day of famed horror writer HP Lovecraft... I may not have enjoyed it.

THE LAST DAY OF H.P. LOVECRAFT #1, written by Romuald Giulivo, illustrated by Jakub Rebelka, translation by Mercedes Gilliom, with letter adaptation by Ed Dukeshire.

Marian Heretic #1 (BOOM! Studios)

I miss comics like this. Surface level absolutely a fun hard-edged action-adventure romp with some T&A but with messaging that allows for a deeper meaning and reflection on modern society within it.

MARIAN HERETIC #1, written by Tini Howard, art by Jose Jaro, colors by Walter Baiamonte, with letters by Jim Campbell.

Unbreakable X-Men #1 (Marvel Comics)

YES! This! MORE OF THIS! It's a perfect example of a one-off comic series in the collected randomness that is Age of Revelation right now, and makes you want to check out the other X-Men ongoing that Gail Simone's writing. It's AWESOME!

UNBREAKABLE X-MEN #1, written by Gail Simone, art by Lucas Werneck, with letters by Clayton Cowles.

I mean... it's not bad. I'd argue that it is the closest without going over into being a buy it. At least check it out I guess.

Iron & Frost #1 (Marvel Comics)

I feel like the only review for most Age of Revelation comics is just holding up a sign asking if this trip was really necessary. It's... okay?

IRON AND FROST #1, written by Cavan Scott, pencils by Avairi Coleman, inks by Avairi Coleman and Roberto Poggi, colors by Yen Nitro, with letters by Joe Sabino.
