Written by: Matt Fraction Art by: Jorge Jimenez Coloring by: Tomeu Morey Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Editing by: Jessica Berbey, Rob Levin I’m not going to lie, it’s not hard for a Batman comic to reel me in and keep me reading. I enjoyed little over 3/4 of Tom King’s run,…

Written by: Al Ewing Art by: Jahnoy Lindsay Coloring By: Jahnoy Lindsay Lettering by: Lucas Gattoni Editing by: Ash Padilla, Andrew Marino, Katie Kubert, Chris Conroy The Absolute Universe at DC truly is something special, and each new entry proves this more and more. Absolute Green Lantern is just the newest…
Written by: Chris Condon Art by: Alessandro Cappuccio Coloring by: Bryan Valenza Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit Editing by: Michelle Marchese, Wil Moss Ultimate Wolverine? More Like ABSOLUTE Wolverine This title in the new Ultimate Universe was easily one of the most anticipated. What new ideas could this new universe bring…
Before we start, just to be honest, I didn’t read as many comics this year as I have years prior. Since I have less time and I’m putting out fewer videos than usual, this video will focus on the top five while hopefully spending more time talking about them. Also, if…
Written by: Scott Snyder Art by: Nick Dragotta Coloring by: Frank Martin Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Editing by: Sabrina Futch, Katie Kubert, Chris Conroy How is Scott Snyder’s Return to Batman? The Absolute Universe is here with Absolute Batman #1. It’s a chunky issue that manages to do a lot while…
Written by: Gail Simone Art by: David Marquez Coloring by: Matthew Wilson Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Editing by: Martin Biro, Annalisse Bissa, Tom Brevoort, C. B. Cebulski While I don’t love what has replaced Krakoa so far, this was one of the most promising books. That might sound strange because…
Written by: Marguerite Bennett Art by: Giuseppe Cafaro Coloring by: Arif Prianto Lettering by: Troy Peteri Editing by: Narc Silvestri, Matt Hawkins, and Elena Salcedo I won’t lie, I’ve never read a Witchblade book before. I’m not incredibly familiar with what her deal is or what this character is all about.…
Written by: Mark Waid Art by: Dan Mora Coloring by: Alejandro Sanchez Lettering by: Ariana Maher Editing by: Matthew Levine, Paul Kaminski It’s been a while since there’s been a DC event I liked. Knight Terrors was confusing and Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths started out strong, but buckled under it’s…
So, everyone’s heard of ‘character tropes’ at this point. It’s the situations, archetypes, and plot lines that you see repeatedly with different flavors. After what, the dawn of civilization people have been creating stories based on what they have read or experienced before. There is no escaping tropes, there is only…
Written by: Deniz Camp Art by: Juan Frigeri Coloring by: Federico Blee Lettering by: VC’s Travis Lanham Editing by: Michelle Marchese, Wil Moss, Now, you’re probably wondering why a known Avengers-hater is reading and reviewing an Avengers book. But here’s the thing, it’s not the Avengers, it’s the Ultimates, easy mistake…
Now, one of my favorite things to do as a writer is to break my characters, and by that I mean I like to kind of crack open a character, figuratively speaking… sometimes literally. Okay, a lot of times literally, but we’re strictly talking figuratively today… mostly. When I say break…
Written by: Peach Momoko Art by: Peach Momoko Script Adaptation: Zack Davisson Lettering by: VC’s Travis Lanham Editing by: Michelle Marchese, Wil Moss, C.B. Cebulski Sure, we were all excited for Ultimate Spider-Man, and the dawn of adult Peter Parker. A lot of people were interested to see how the new…
Written by: Jonathan Hickman Art by: Marco Checchetto Coloring by: Matthew Wilson Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit Editing by: Michelle Marchese, Wil Moss Relapsing Spider-Man fans, don’t believe what you’ve been hearing. Ultimate Spider-Man isn’t the promise of what many have been asking for since One More Day… far more. It’s…
It’s that time of year again. Comic book movies are playing, TV shows are capping off their season finales, and video games are getting their award ceremonies, but do you know what never stops? Comic books. And we’ve read a lot of comic books, which means it’s time to talk about…
Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Lucas Werneck Coloring by: Bryan Valenza Lettering by: VC’s Travis Lanham Edited by: Lauren Amaro, Jordan D. White The Fall of the House of X #1 is not House of X #1. It doesn’t feel like the beginning of the end of what that book…
Writer: Jim Starlin Penciller: Jim Aparo Inker: Mike Decarlo Letterer: John Costanza Colorist: Adrienne Roy Assistant Editor: Dan Raspler Editor: Denny O’Neil This is a strange comic to read for me. I got into comics because I wanted to read more of the Red Hood after the animated movie, Batman: Under…
Written by: Jonathan Hickman Art by: Stefano Caselli Coloring by: David Curiel Lettering by: VC’s Joe Caramagna Editing by: Michelle Marchese, Wil Moss It can be said that the best way to write a chapter in a story is to ask new questions as you answer old ones. This issue does…
Written by: Wyatt Kennedy Art by: Luigi Formisano Coloring by: Francesco Segala, Gloria Martinelli Lettering by: Maria Letizia Mirabella Editing by: Alana Fox Have you ever read a book and had it feel more mature than you? That’s how it felt reading Nights #1. In my pursuit to continue diversifying my…
Written by: Jonathan Hickman Art by: Valerio Schiti Coloring by: Marte Gracia Lettering by: VC’s Travis Lanham Editing by: Martin Biro, Annalise Bissa, Tom Brevoort Now, I’ve read two big projects led by Jonathan Hickman. I’ve read Secret Wars (and some of what led up to it) and I have well-documented…
Written by: Imani Vellani, Sabir Pirzada Art by: Carlos Gomez, Adam Gorham Coloring by: Erick Ariniega Lettering by: VC’s Joe Caramagna Editing by: Sara Pichelli, Matthew Wilson Now, I’ve never been the biggest Ms. Marvel fan. I’ve never disliked her, I just didn’t care for the Inhumans. They didn’t feel like…
Written by: Steve Foxe Art by: Jonas Scharf Coloring by: Frank Martin Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Editing by: Lauren Amarao, Jordan D. White Now, I’ve never been a fan of Madelyne Pryor, nor have I been a hater. I just straight up haven’t gotten the chance to love this character.…

Written by: Joshua Williamson Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Stefano Nesi, Caspar Wijngaard Coloring by: Frank Martin, Caspar Wijngaard Lettering by: Troy Peteri Editing by: Ben Abernathy For a book that’s supposed to be the first issue of an event, it’s really weird that it feels like issue #2. No, seriously, once…
“Love is Lightning” by Grant Morrison, Hayden Sherman, Marissa Louise and Aditya Bidikar “And Baby Makes Three” by Leah Williams, Paulina Ganucheau and Frank Cvetkovic “Hey, Stranger” by Nadia Shammas, Bruka Jones, Tamra Bonvillain and Frank Cvetkovic “Subspace Transmission” by A.L.

Written by: Joshua Williamson Art by: Sean Izaakse Coloring by: Romulo Fajardo Jr. Lettering by: Troy Peteri Editing by: Ben Abernathy Now, I would never say I’m a huge Green Arrow guy. I am a huge Black Canary guy because she’s the bees-knees and needs her own book. But Green Arrow…
Written by: Greg Rucka, Eric Trautmann Art by: Mike Henderson Coloring by: Nolan Woodard Lettering by: Ariana Maher Editing by: Alejandro Arbona Have you ever wanted a Warhammer comic that was less aggressively grimdark and more aggressively sexual? That’s the vibe the Forged #1 has. It’s far more colorful and upbeat,…
Written by: Danny Lore Art by: Karen S. Darboe Coloring by: Cris Peter Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino Editing by: Martin Biro, Annalise Bissa I’m not a Blade guy, but I have nothing against Blade either. So I walked into this book with few expectations. That means I also tried to…
Written by: Kieron Gillen Art by: Lucas Werneck Coloring by: Bryan Valenza Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Editing by: Lauren Amaro, Jordan D. White The X-Men are known for their alternate futures, each about how the world can end and where mutants will be during the end. First, was Days of…
If you know me and what I read, you should not be surprised to learn that SomethingCentral’s top ten favorite comic books of 2022 are still DC and Marvel-dominated, X-Men-dominated specifically. While there wasn’t anything not from the Big-two last year, you may be surprised by this year’s best spots. I…
Written by: Todd McFarlane Art by: Greg Capullo Inking by: Todd McFarlane Coloring by: Dave McCaig Lettering by: Tom Napolitano Editing by: Ben Abernathy, Marie Javins Batman / Spawn is a rare book where I think it would have been better with no narration. Maybe even no dialogue. I say this…
Written by: Zeb Wells Art by: Adam Kubert Coloring by: Frank Martin Lettering by: VC’s Joe Carmagna Editing by: Kaeden McGahey, Albert Banaszak Alright, I am a known X-Men fan, so it’s not shocking that I would read anything with the merry mutants in the title. But Spider-Man? With the way…

Written by: Tate Brombal Illustrated by: Nick Robles Lettering by: Andworld Design Editing by: Ramiro Portnoy, Eric Harburn Maybe you’ve heard, I really like Boom! Studios and the books they put out. They do some franchise adaptations, but they’re better known and celebrated for the original comics they put out. Think…

Written by: Ed Brisson Art by: John Timms Coloring by: Rex Lokus Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Editing by: Ben Abernathy Batman Incorporated has a history of putting the spotlight on characters who wouldn’t normally get the time of day. Grant Morrison’s New 52 run with the title made me a fan…
Spoilers for These Savage Shores. Written by: Ram V Illustrated by: Sumit Kumar Colored by: Vittorio Astone Lettered by: Aditya Bidikar I aspire to be a writer, even a comic book writer hopefully. One of my goals is to write a great vampire story. It’s been a while since I talked…
Written by: Meghan Fitzmartin Art by: Riley Rossmo Coloring by: Lee Loughridge Lettering by: Tom Napolitano Editing by: Jessica Berbey, Arianna Turturro, Ben Abernathy I have a strange relationship with Tim Drake. I never liked him as Robin, he just never interested me when he wore the Robin mantle. But, I…
Written by: Leah Williams Art by: Carlos Gomez Coloring by: Bryan Valenza Lettering by: VC’s Travis Lanham Editing by: Lauren Amaro, Jordan D. White X-Terminators has barely any scenes with my favorite superhero of all time, and yet it feels absolutely perfect. It’s one part raunchy comedy and another part grindhouse…
Written by: Ethan Sacks Art by: Luigi Zagaria Coloring by: Antonio Fabela Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino Editing by: Tom Groneman, Nick Lowe While it’s obvious this book was supposed to come out with the game, it does not base its story around the same premise. It spins out of Strange…
Written by: Joshua Williamson Art by: Daniel Sampere Coloring by: Alejandro Sanchez Lettering by: Tom Napolitano Editing by: Chris Rosa, Paul Kaminski This is the first issue of this event with the name change. Changing it to Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths is a cash-in, but hardly the worst one. If…
Written by: Jim Zub Art by: Sean Izaakse Coloring by: Java Tartaglia Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino Editing by: Martin Biro, Annalise Bissa, Tom Brevoort There’s something to be said about how Marvel will give so many B, C, and D-list heroes their own books. Thunderbolts #1 is chockful of characters…
Written by: Ram V Art by: Rafael Albuquerque Coloring by: Dave Stewart Lettering by: Ariana Maher Editing by: Arianna Turturro, Jessica Chen, Ben Abernathy Ram V is one of my favorite writers in comic books right now after his work on These Savage Shores. Rafael Albuquerque is an all-star artist who…
Written by: Kieron Gillen Art by: Guiu Vilanova Coloring by: Dijjo Lima Lettering by: VC’s Travis Lanham Editing by: Martin Biro, Annalise Bissa, Tom Brevoort It’s always nice to see that a crossover is more of a team-up than a battle between heroes. The covers may say one thing, but the…
Written by: Tom Taylor Penciling by: Trevor Hairsine Inking by: Andy Lanning Coloring by: Rain Beredo Lettering by: Saida Temofonte Editing by: Ben Abernathy DCeased: War of the Undead Gods picks up right where the last DCeased book left off.

Written by: Kenny Porter Art by: Baldemar Rivas Coloring by: Mike Spicer Lettering by: Tom Napolitano Edited by: Dave Wielgos, Ben Abernathy You can tell that the creative team loves mecha-anime, especially the art half of the team, Rivas and Spicer. They expertly capture the size and movement of mechs and…
Written by: Kieron Gillen Art by: Valerio Schiti Coloring by: Marte Garcia Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Editing by: Martin Biro, Annalise Bissa, Tom Brevoort I haven’t read a Marvel event in a while that wasn’t strictly about the X-Men. I haven’t kept up with the Avengers (refuse to) nor the…

Written by: Torunn Gronbekk Art by: Michael Dowling Coloring by: Jesus Aburtov Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino Editing by: Michelle Marchese, Wil Moss I didn’t get the chance to review the first issue of Jane Foster & the Mighty Thor, so I wasn’t going to miss the second issue. It’s obvious…
Written by: Chip Zdarsky Art by: Jorge Jimenez Coloring by: Tomeu Morey Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Editing by: Dave Wielgosz, Ben Abernathy Chip Zdarksy’s Daredevil has been the highlight of Marvel comics for the last two years, even over the majority of X-Books.
