Books of the Week – 12/19/18

1. Quincredible #1 (Lion Forge) ★★★★★
Writer: Rodney Barnes / Art: Selina Espiritu / Colors: Kelly Fitzpatrick
Interesting look at super heroes with a likable lead and supporting cast. The art by Selina Espirtu is quite nice to look at too.

2. Quincredible #2 (Lion Forge) ★★★★★
Writer: Rodney Barnes / Art: Selina Espiritu / Colors: Kelly Fitzpatrick
Nice Spidey-type origin story, that feels very real. Wonderful writing by Rodney Barnes provides a great look at what it means to save the world.

3. Extermination #5 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Ed Brisson / Art: Pepe Larraz / Colors: Marte Gracia
Lots of story packed into the final installment of this series. Solid end to the Original X-Men saga. Perhaps… we shall see.

4. Amazing Spider-Man #12 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Nick Spencer / Art: Ryan Ottley & Cliff Rathburn / Colors: Laura Martin
A fun battle book with a nice review of JJJ’s life. Ottley’s art suits this issue very well.

5. Feast or Famine #1 (Alterna) ★★★★
Writer: Dave Swartz / Art: Joseph Cooper / Colors: Joseph Cooper
Fun, old fashioned adventure story. Enjoyed the 19th century setting and the subtle name changes for the historic figures. The newsprint brought me back too.

6. Infinity Wars: Fallen Guardian #1 (Marvel) ★★★
Writer: Gerry Duggan / Art: Andy McDonald / Colors: Chris O’Halloran
Nice goodbye to a beloved character (for now) in this next to last installment of the IW Event.
