It's apparently been forty years since the original release of The Rocketeer, and IDW celebrated that by launching a new miniseries. Written and illustrated by Stephen Mooney, this volume is perfect for fans old and new.
I want to call Who Made Me a Princess? A cute series, but it probably has too many heavy undertones for that to apply. Our leading lady has a lot of trauma in her life – both lives. But the good news is that she has an indomitable personality, which means she will win this world over. One person at a time.
While I may be behind in reading Farmhand, I can say with complete honesty it is worth getting caught up in. How do I know? Even after all these months, Farmhand #19 hit me right in the feels – and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Gwen Stacy, aka Ghost-Spider, hails from Earth 65. In this universe, things and people tend to be vastly different from what we're used to seeing. Ghost-Spider #7 further reinforces that fact as we get to know two variants of fan-favorite heroes.
Scintilla Desiderata Comics is one of my favorite comics, even if it is complete. It's fun, light, and has a dose of relatable humor. If you've ever dealt with mental health issues or an oddball cat, you'll be able to smile at the events that happen within this comic.
We've heard hundreds of variations of what the afterlife can bring us. Now it's time to see a new take on Limbo, aka Limbo City. To some, it's a perfectly fine way to spend eternity. For others, like Bonzo Scalobania, it can get quite dull.
Gail Simone's famous series comes to a conclusion in The Variants #5. I'll admit, I'm sad to see it go. This series was phenomenal. Not only did it take risks (and have fun doing so), but it hit as hard as Jessica Jones. I don't think I need to explain how hard that is!
Ghost-Spider #6 is a different sort of issue when Gwen Stacy gives herself a chance to breathe for a few moments. Though that won’t stop her from stumbling across trouble – that seems to be a talent of hers.
Ahhhh! Yes! Scarlet Witch has always been one of my favorite comic series, and I've been missing it in recent years. So you can imagine my joy at the release of Scarlet Witch #1. Written by Steve Orlando, this issue has a ton of artists backing it up: Sara Pichelli, Elisabetta D'Amico, Matthew Wilson, and VC's Cory Petit. I want to thank each and every one of them for bringing my favorite character back to her own solo series.
Cassandra Comics is a slice-of-life comic series that follows the one and only – Cassandra. The adventures are all very human, often revolving around hair humor/struggles and other relatable events. And, of course, it all has a comedic lens.
