Written by George Mann | Art by Mariano Laclaustra | Published by Titan Comics Before I get going on the actual review, a quick mention for the fantastic covers that the Who titles have.

Written by Tom King | Art by Clay Mann | Published by DC Comics Many have already heard of the big reveal that happens on the final page of this issue, and for those who have not been staying current with this Batman series, it may seem strange from afar. In reality, it is a major character moment […]
Written by Andi Ewington | Art by Simon Coleby | Published by Titan Comics A little style over substance last issue, or perhaps a book finding its feet and a writer finding his tone. Although the fighting fantasy books themselves are derivative of other genres, or ‘inspired by’ to be kinder, the format of multiple […]
Aquaman #24 Written by Dan Abnett | Art by Scot Eaton, Wayne Faucher | Published by DC Comics Aquaman is best as a series when it is basically Game of Thrones underwater. The Crown of Atlantis arc has pretty much been that as Aquaman has been fighting to hold his crown despite the dirty politics and backstabbing that […]

Much is revealed in this issue […]
Written by James Venhaus | Art by Pius Bak | Published by IDW Oh what could have been? One of the most shocking elements of the final issue of this series is that is the final issue. The first two issues were great building to something really impressive. Then with this final issue a marathon is suddenly […]
Written by Brian K. Vaughan | Art by Fiona Staples | Published by Image Comics Saga is easily the most decorated book currently going today and will probably go down as the greatest book of this current generation. Still, even with that I would argue it is can be under appreciated. It is a victim of […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Joe Eisma | Published by Valiant Faith has been gaining notoriety both outside and inside of her book so it was only a matter of time before she would be facing off against her first evil superhero team.

Written by Mark Millar | Art by Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion | Published by Image Comics Looking at the creative team and concept of Reborn it had the ability to be a great series but it never reached the height of its potential.

Written by Donny Cates | Art by Garry Brown | Published by Aftershock With God Country, Redneck, and now Babyteeth Donny Cates is making a run to be the biggest breakout writer of 2017.

Youngblood #2 Written by Chad Bowers | Art by Jim Towe | Published by Image Comics Youngblood #2 is an improvement from the first issue but still suffers from many of the same demoralizing issues. Two issues in the narrative is still impenetrable for anyone who is still not well versed in the lore of […]
Grass Kings #3 Written by Matt Kindt | Art by Tyler Jenkins | Published by Boom Studios Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenks are building something special with Grass Kings.

Hi and welcome back to Needle in a [Comic] Haystack, where I tell you about the best and brightest comics shining out there in the dark. We’re closing out our first month here, so let’s shake it up a bit. So far we’ve been doing comic books and comic series you know nothing about. Now […]
Written by Chris King | Art by Jesus Hervas | Published by Titan Comics To copy a little American sports vernacular, this series has been hitting it out of the park with its first two issues. A perfect continuation from the three seasons we enjoyed on TV, this ‘season four’ has not missed a beat. […]
