I can only imagine writing #ThePunisher can be tricky.

Violent without being gratuitous, but not censoring yourself so much that what violence is shown loses its impact.

@jimmypalmiotti.bsky.social and @urbanbarbarian.bsky.social hit the sweet spot.

Priest and Quesada are at the top of their game with The World to Come #3.

A look into the past shows us the challenges faced by two future kings and the consequences of unquestioned faith.

Utterly brutal in its presentation.

…Hickman and Abnett deliver another fantastic side story as the Imperial saga prepares to reach its climax later this month with Maresca’s art selling every super powered moment.

Like Carol, I love a team up!

Imperial War: Imperial Guardians #1 follows a ragtag group on the trail of a messianic prophet, seemingly returned from the dead, and in the process, run afoul of the greater galactic game…

*Note to self: Read more Darkhawk!*

Made sure to get a juice box before reading this time!

#Spider-Man’94 continues with an excellent second issue full of exploding bananas and a good bit of heart.

Excited to see where @jmdematteis.bsky.social takes Peter over the next few issues. Are we going full Clone Saga?!

Hard to believe it’s been almost 20 years since @straczynski.bsky.social last wrote Spider-Man, but after reading ASM: Torn #1, it’s as if he never left.

Combined with incredible art from Pere Pérez, Peter’s college years are brought to life as a new mystery unfolds.

Quintessential #Spider-Man

I am so glad I avoided any previews or spoilers for #AbsoluteEvil

With TWO WORDS @alewingpromotes.bsky.social completely upends the Absolute universe.

You also can’t ignore the striking parallels to our own darkest timeline.

One year in, and the worst is yet to come.

Truly mesmerizing stuff here.

Fun fact - my family is from Kansas, so I can attest to just how dumb Ra’s is for thinking he can roll up and cause trouble.

After last months torturous issue, seeing Kal get a moment of peace was so refreshing. @jason-aaron.bsky.social delivers some truly heartfelt moments between him and Sol…

… Major props to @jasonhowardart.bsky.social, @inakiazpiazu.bsky.social, and Riley Rossmo - all the Lantern just feel POWERFUL here thanks to your work.

And that last page?

Okay, @alewingpromotes.bsky.social - this is absolutely wild.

Levels of light? Chaotic Action? The sin of one becomes the sin of all?!

…and then there’s the art.

@jorgejimenezart.bsky.social just gets Batman. The gadgets, the costume, the Batmo - it’s all in a class of its own.

*Note to self: pick up all the gadget variant covers!

#Batman 2 is simply amazing.

Picking up from last month’s debut issue we find Robin down, but by no means out.

Fraction uses a moment of father-son bonding to frame the adventure with Bruce and Tim’s dialogue breaking the tension of an otherwise disastrous night.

Taking bets on the “secret gear”

The art from Yasmine Putri and @ciantormey.bsky.social is absolutely electric here, with incredible splash pages highlighting the kind of power the League is dealing with here.

Scruffy Booster is also inspired 🤩

However KO plays out, we’re in for a wild ride.

The Omega Act has only served to hype me up even more for DC KO. Seeing Booster Gold and Flash zip around time is so much fun.

Even if you haven’t been keeping up with the mainline DC books, @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social does a great job catching you up so you’ll be ready for round 1 next week…

Broccardo art combined with Rosenberg’s colors fully elevates the story with wildly kinetic fight scenes with a color palette further emphasizing the time period.

Seeing a Nazi get the snot beat out of them is always a plus too!

Looking forward to the rest of this run!

Want to make #Spider-Man Noir #1 even more fun to read? Imagine Peter with Nicholas Cage’s voice.

Slick writing really sells the 1930’s settings with plenty of period quips and references.

I’m pretty sure there’s a Face/Off reference here as well!
