The tale continues in Ghost-Spider #4. Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost-Spider, aka Spider-Gwen, has finally regained balance in her life. She's now successfully juggling her social life, hero life, school, and band. And she's doing so flawlessly.
Dark Spaces: Wildfire #1 is the first issue in a new series by Scott Snyder and Hayden Sherman, so I had to give it a try! Set during the Arroyo Fire, this series covers a group of inmate firefighters – and the dangers (plus temptations) they will face alongside the smoke and ash.
Have you ever wanted to see the Scarlet Witch duke it out in the dreamscape? Well, I have good news for you – you need to read Scarlet Witch #2! Thus far, this series has turned out to be everything I could have hoped or dreamed of (pun intended. Sorry, not sorry).
Dina Demille runs an extraordinary inn that masquerades as a quaint bed and breakfast to those who don't know the truth. That truth? The Inn, Gertrude Hunt, caters to aliens visiting Earth. It's Dina's job to keep these guests safe while ensuring they break no rules.
Woo! The adventures of Lady Mechanika continue in Lady Mechanika: The Monster of the Ministry of Hell. This is the seventh graphic novel in the series (and I would highly suggest you read everything in order!), and it is quite possibly the heaviest-hitting one of the set, which is saying something.
The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1, is a dark story involving two protagonists, Guideau and Ashaf. Guideau has a vendetta against witches – to put it lightly. As you might have guessed, is heavily associated with magic. Together, these two are about to go hunting witches. Specifically, one witch. She's taken over a town, and they intend to liberate it.
She-Hulk #9 continues the dramatic arc of Jen and Jack. We all know that things are going to go horribly wrong and soon. Yet we can't seem to look away. At least, I know I can't. I've got to see what's next.
Ghost-Spider #3 brings us a confident and happy Gwen Stacy, perhaps a little too confident, as she seems to keep tempting fate. And you know that never works well for anybody wearing the Spider Mantle.
Earthdivers #1 is the start of a brand new series by IDW. It's written by Stephen Graham Jones – one of the best horror authors around. So you just know this series will hit you right in the feels and then some. The series begins in the year 2112, with the world in ruins. As it turns out, the scientists may have been right when they warned us about those rising oceans. Whoops. One group of people may have a solution to everything gone wrong – they just have to go back in time and kill Christopher Columbus.
The Little Trashmaid is essentially the Little Mermaid, but taking pollution into account. Tidy (the trashmaid, obviously) has many endearing and sometimes heartbreaking adventures with her two human friends. It's chaotic and primarily nonverbal, making it an approachable comic for all readers.
