‘Daredevil’ #20 review

2 weeks ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Saladin Ahmed’s run on Daredevil hits a new stride in issue #20, launching a fresh story arc that leans into horror and personal torment. The issue opens not with a punch but with a nightmare that leads us into the self-inflicted torment Matt Murdock has put upon himself. The opening is a great way to show what has come from the previous arc and sets the tone for Ahmed’s handling of Murdock. We are also seeing a new art style in the series, with José Luis Soares joining the team.
‘Green Lantern Corps’ #3 review

2 weeks ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Buckle up, because Green Lantern Corps #3 throws you right into the thick of things as writers Jeremy Adams and Morgan Hampton and artist Fernando Pasarin dive deeper into the complexities of the emotional Spectrum. Things escalate quickly as we deal with the fallout from the makeshift Red Lantern Corps, now scavenging what’s left of Thanagar.
‘Justice League: The Atom Project’ #4 review

3 weeks ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Some secrets are out, and Justice League: The Atom Project #4 delivers a smackdown showdown. Writers Ryan Parrott and John Ridley pull back the curtain on the Atom Project, revealing the potential disaster it could become. While we are processing that revelation, General Eiling sends Major Force to stir up even more chaos. The art team of artist Mike Perkins and colorist Adriano Lucas perfectly captures the intensity of the quantum battle between arch rivals.
‘Two-Face’ #5 review

3 weeks ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

The latest issue of Two-Face takes a detour from exploring the team-up between “Bad Harvey” and his mother to delve into another branch of this chaotic family tree. Christian Ward and Fabio Veras are preparing to wrap up this story arc, but before they do, they’ll introduce a new character to the Two-Face world: Die. Her name plays nicely on the word’s dual meaning, tied to both death and chance.
‘Daredevil’ #19 review

4 weeks ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

The current Daredevil series began with an arc called “Introductory Rites”, written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Aaron Kuder and colors by Jesus Aburtov. The first issue was released on September 13, 2023. What’s particularly impressive about this arc is that it spans 20 issues — a considerable length for any comic book story, especially for a new creative team.

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

We are halfway through the Batman and Robin: Year One maxi-series, and sure enough, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee found a very enticing way to kick off the story’s second half. The General has Robin and is using him for bait against Batman, but can Batman control his rage enough to salvage this situation? Is Dick Grayson ready to be Robin? Especially when he proved he can not make it alone without being trapped?

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

The Green Lantern Corps picks up from the fallout of the Civil Corps and continues the mystery of the Fractal Lanterns.

In this issue, the creative team of Jeremy Adams, Morgan Hampton, and Fernando Pasarin takes us back to explore what remains.
‘Thunderbolts: Winter Soldiers’ TPB review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Trade paperback collections can make great time capsules. Thunderbolts: Winter Soldiers, out today, will take you back to 2016 – a time when Marvel was knee-deep in the All-New, All-Different initiative, which saw some interesting changes at the publisher. In the Avengers line of comics, the “Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill” event had just happened, bringing back a younger Steve Rogers as Captain America and introducing us to Kobik, who will be key players in the story later.
