Books of the Week – 01/30/19

1. Teen Titans Annual #1 (DC) ★★★★
Writer: Adam Gates / Art: Ryan Benjamin / Colors: Hi-Fi
I enjoyed the Robin/Red Hood sequence. The Joystick character was a bit over the top though. I did enjoy the coda. The art by Ryan Benjamin was quite good throughout.

2. Heroes in Crisis #5 (DC) ★★★★
Writer: Tom King / Art: Clay Mann
Nice, solid read. Great speech by Superman about the need for Sanctaury. Fun with Booster, Beetle, Harley & Batgirl.

3. Marvel Knights 20 #6 (Marvel) ★★★
Writer: Donny Cates / Art: Kim Jacinto & Travel Foreman / Colors: VC’s Cory Petit
Solid and entertaining wrap up to the MK20 story. I may have to reread some earlier issues to catch-up on some things I forgot about. Interesting final resolution.

4. Man Without Fear #5 (Marvel) ★★★
Writer: Jed MacKay / Art: Danilo S. Beyruth / Colors: VC’s Clayton Cowles
Still not a fan of Beyruth’s art, but again, it works here. Nice monolog about pain and what it’s for. Actually sounds familiar. Reminds me of why I like Daredevil.
