Books of the Week – 05/29/19

1. Daredevil #6 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Chip Zdarsky / Art: Lalit Kumar Sharma & Jay Leisten / Colors: Java Tartaglia
I’m just gonna say it. Daredevil is Marvel’s best book. Period. Even without DD in it, this book just soars. Excellent stuff.

2. Doomsday Clock #10 (DC) ★★★★★
Writer: Geoff Johns / Art: Gary Frank / Colors: Brad Anderson
This issue was great! A welcome return to form for this series. Well worth the wait.

3. Thor #11 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Jason Aaron / Art: Mike Del Mundo / Colors: Mike Del Mundo & Marco D’Alfonso
Not usually a fan of Thor books without Thor, but this one was great. Cul Borson is a fascinating character, and Aaron wrote his story beautifully.

4. X-Men Grand Design: X-tinction #1 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Ed Piskor / Art: Ed Piskor / Colors: Ed Piskor
Interesting look at a period of X-Men history I am unfamiliar with. Piskor does a great job of making these reviews both compelling & informative. A pretty cool trick.

5. Fantastic Four #10 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Dan Slott / Art: Paco Medina with Kevin Libranda / Colors: Jesus Aburtov
Nicely done inclusion of the FF into the War of the Realms. Loved the Franklin storyline (Angst!). The art was aces.

6. Giant-Man #2 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Leah Williams / Art: Marco Castiello / Colors: Rachelle Rosenberg
This War of the Realms tie-in, featuring all of the Marvel big men, is a surprisingly entertaining book. Lots of laughs, followed by a slap in the face. Really solid stuff.
