Summer Comics Review 2023

No top 10 this year, just going over some standouts. Oscars 7. Go.

Berserk Deluxe Edition vol. 1

by Kentaro Miura (Writer/Artist),Jason DeAngelis (Translator)

A stunningly illustrated manga following a savage lone warrior and his great struggles. 

Human Target vol. 1

by Tom King (Writer), Greg Smallwood (Artist)

A very intriguing noir murder mystery throughout the DC universe.

Public Domain vol. 1

by Chip Zdarsky

A sharp satire about the current state of the comics industry and how its creators are left behind by the giant movies based on their creations. 

Trials of X vol. 1-4

by Simon Spurrier, Gerry Duggan, Tini Howard, etc.

Another continuation of the Krakoan age of the X-Men. The most interesting thing Marvel has going on now in my opinion.

Something is Killing the Children vol. 1-4

by James Tynion IV (Writer), Werther Dell’Edera (Artist)

Engagingly written and drawn story about monsters coming to life and the secret society that fights them. 

Decorum

by Jonathan Hickman (Writer), Mike Huddleston (Artist)

Really creatively told sci-fi story that says a lot about the future of the universe and of the possibilities of comics as a creative medium.

Frankenstein 

by Junji Ito

Gruesomely illustrated and riveting adaptation of Mary Shelly’s classic novel. Also collecting some other good horror short stories about a haunted house with a gateway to another universe. 

That's all. It seems I only come back to this blog for this but still stay connected.
