Assassinistas #2 | 
COMICS PULL Jan 17 #comicsrecs #ncbd
I got off work early today because of the snow and still didn‘t manage to get this posted before midnight. Here are some comics to look for tomorrow. Assassimistas is my #recoftheweek but over all it was a pretty underwhelming week for books I read.
👇individual ratings and notes in the comments👇
nosferatoos 🙌Assassinistas 2: I am really digging IDW‘s Black Crown line. A college boy and his boyfriend get sucked into his mother‘s life as a retired assassin. The target audience of this book is Me Specifically and I absolutely love it so far. (edited) 7y
nosferatoos 👋Avengers 676: Its fine. I still think the big ~twist~ is dumb but I‘m hoping it pays off in some unexpected way. Mediocrity aside, this book wins for best cover of the week. (edited) 7y
nosferatoos 👋Batwoman 11: I love this series but this is a fill in issue not written by Bennett. It still builds on her story but it‘s definitely a transitional issue and it definitely feels like it. It‘s got a sick Sienkiewicz tho. (edited) 7y

nosferatoos 👋Damage 1: if you‘ve ever thought to yourself “man I wish DC would write Value Brand Marvel Comics” then this is the book for you. Damage is literally just a grittier Hulk. It‘s okay but I‘m still not sure if it‘s enough to make me pick up the second issue. The whole post-metal line is super 90s and not really my thing. (edited) 7y
nosferatoos 👍Doctor Strange 384: I love this ark. This has been consistently one of Marvel‘s best books. Donny Cates takes a lot of cues from Jason Aaron in his writing in general and plays with a lot of the same themes. So having him follow Aaron‘s fantastic run feels so natural. Fingers crossed he takes over Thor when Aaron leaves. Cates is an amazing talent and I hope Marvel keeps him. And the art in this book is SO GOOD btw. 7y
nosferatoos 👋Spirits of Vengeance 4: it‘s fine. The whole series has been fine. I bought this for blade and he‘s barely in it. 7y
nosferatoos 👍Super Sons 11: wraps up the Super Sons of Tomorrow crossover very neatly. I love the Damien/Jon dynamic and it takes a really great turn here. Patrick Gleason has such a good grasp on the voices of these characters and I love it. It‘s also fun to get some Teen Titans in a book without having to read the current Teen Titans book (because it‘s not very good). (edited) 7y
rekahlee @nosferatoos Is Super Sons aimed towards a younger audience? I‘ve been on the fence of adding it cause I like my comics fairly serious. I enjoy humor and banter but I need a more dramatic story at the center 7y
nosferatoos @RekahLee It‘s targeted to the same age range as N52 batgirl. It‘s fine for kids but it‘s now a Kids Comic The was DC‘s Teen Titans Go is. I wouldn‘t call it serious but it‘s not really a kids comic. It‘s a really charming and delightful book. (edited) 7y
