Geekscape Comics: Weekly Reads!
Welcome to Weekly Reads! It’s your little, weekly dose of comic book goodness that focuses on some aspect of my comic book reading!
Two big #1’s I want to discuss from last week, but first, an update on some ongoing series. Spider-Man #3 is a slow read. Miles gets grounded and not a whole lot goes on. Black Widow #2 doesn’t have the breakneck pace of the previous issue but it’s still a top-notch book, filled with bad ass moments.
Black Panther is not your typical superhero book. There’s a lot to wrap your head around in this book. Outside of the book’s deeper cultural themes, there is a lot to pick up on if you aren’t familiar with the character. This is going to be a popular book and probably talked about it a lot. If you are interested in the character because of Captain America: Civil War, you might want to wait for the book in trade or prepare to do some extra reading.
This is hands down last week’s must-read book. The creative team behind The Superior Foes of Spider-Man joins forces again in this crooked cop comedy. This book is for a mature audience but damn is it hilarious. I laughed out loud multiple times while reading it. The book runs a few pages longer than most books and has a bit more dialogue but I didn’t mind in the slightest because it’s so funny. Spencer creates some unreal situational comedy moments and then turns on a dime to deliver us some sadistic characters. This series is going to have some dark, dark moments. It’s going to be a roller coaster ride, get on board now!
