Books of the Week – 08/22/18

1: West Coast Avengers #1 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Kelly Thompson / Art: Stefano Caselli / Colors: Triona Farrell
Fun silliness with some great art too. Color me surprised.

2: Daredevil #607 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Charles Soule / Art: Phil Noto / Colors: Phil Noto
Great set-up issue. Some fun twists and solid art. A nice change of pace after the previous gritty storylines.

3: Amazing Spider-Man #4 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Nick Spencer / Art: Ryan Ottley & Cliff Rathburn / Colors: Laura Martin with Peter Pantazis & Jasen Smith
Wasn’t planning to buy this series, but word of mouth had me give it a try, and boy howdy, am I glad I did (I bought #2 & 3 as well). Great writing, and twists galore! I just wish I enjoyed the art more. Spidey looks great, Peter so-so.

4: Mr & Mrs X #2 (Marvel) ★★★
Writer: Kelly Thompson / Art: Oscar Bazaldua / Colors: Frank D’Armata
Fun book, with some nice art, but it feels like the title characters are guest starring in a Deadpool book. I mean, I like Deadpool, but c’mon.
