pickA massive cross-over event that sees the god of the symbiotes invade Earth. Eddie Brock/Venom is forced to reconcile with his place in the world and his role in saving it. Can he be a father to his son and a hero to the world, or is his violent path too much to put behind him? How can he rise to meet the King in Black when mutants and superheroes continue to fall to the void? Excellent storytelling and art.
so-soThis volume is a little more exposition-heavy, but Nic Klein's art and Matt Wilson's colors are still great.
so-soI found this . . . convoluted.
pickI'm loving Donny Cates' run on Thor from a few years ago. In this arc, Cates mines the lore to reinvent Thor's original alter ego Donald Blake. Great pacing, action, and dialogue. Cates picks up the themes of worthiness and authority that were so prominent in Jason Aaron's run.
pickReprinting early issues of the comics in two beautiful formats.
pickEsad Ribic might be the only artist since Jack Kirby who can properly convey Galactus' power. Jason Aaron's Thor run is legendary, but I somehow missed this arc. Making the villain the CEO of a massive corporation is really fun because Thor doesn't quite know how to smite legal machinations.
so-soEvery couple years I pick up a super hero comic thinking "maybe this will be the one for me!" It is very rare that it is for me.
This is fine. The art is great. But nothing made me want to continue the book. C'est la vie.
