Books of the Week – 04/17/19

1. Daredevil #4 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Chip Zdarsky / Art: Marco Checchetto / Colors: Sonny Gho
Frickin’ awesome book! The interplay between Castle and DD reads so beautifully. It’s grim, dark and true. Great sequences throughout. Solid as they come.

2. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #5 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Saladin Ahmed / Art: Javier Garron / Colors: David Curiel
Schlock cover aside, this was a wonderful book. Garron’s art is gorgeous, and Ahmed’s writing has an easygoing, casual flow that reads real. Simply a beautiful book.

3. War of the Realms #2 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Jason Aaron / Art: Russell Dauterman / Colors: Matthew Wilson
More fighting, but the story comes through better than in issue #1. Plenty of interesting moments bring the book to life.

4. Amazing Spider-Man #19.HU (Marvel) ★★★
Writer: Nick Spencer / Art: Chris Bachelo with Wayne Faucher, Livesay, Jaime Mendoza, Victor Olazaba, Tim Townsend & Al Vey / Colors: Erick Arciniega
Bachelo’s artwork saves this issue. The story is okay, but after the Gibbon masterpiece, it feels a bit lightweight.
