What Looks Good

What Looks Good for the Week of 6/26/2019

Daniel Gehen
June 24, 2019
What Looks Good

Without a major event release this week, readers may be forced to check out some books they’ve heard good things about, but haven’t actually read. In one instance, that means a book that most probably haven’t looked at for at least a decade. So let’s see what looks good for this week.

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #8

(w) Tom Taylor (a) Ken Lashley

While Nick Spencer is doing a lot to “fix” Spider-Man in Amazing, Tom Taylor has been given free reign to write what is currently the best Peter Parker book in the pages of Friendly Neighborhood. Though dealing with things like Aunt May being sick is far from groundbreaking, Taylor’s writing contains an earnestness that makes each issue as engrossing as it is affecting.

Justice League Dark #12

(w) James Tynion IV (a) Raul Fernandez & Alvaro Martinez Bueno

Image result for justice league dark #12As good as Scott Snyder’s Justice League may be, DC’s best book featuring a team of heavy hitters comes from his protege James Tynion IV with Justice League Dark. Anchored by Wonder Woman, the JL Dark boasts an exciting cast of magical misfits and heavy hitters trying to take down an unlikely foe in Doctor Fate.

Transformers/Ghostbusters #1

(w) Erik Burnham (a) Dan Schoening & Luis Antonio Delgado

Never one to shy away from crossovers, IDW is pitting two of its popular licensed properties against each other with Transformers/Ghostbusters #1. Why? Because why not? This makes little to no sense on paper, but given the history of IDW’s other crossovers, this will be thoroughly entertaining.

Spawn #298

(w) Todd McFarlane (a) Jason Shawn Alexander

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Spawn has gone from shaking up the industry to becoming unreadable dreck, a parody of itself, and genuinely good. Maintaining a stable readership despite being far from top seller it was in the 1990s, Spawn has seen in uptick in sales and general interest in recent months as it approaches issue #300. So what the hell, this is the time to start checking out Spawn again.

About The Author

Daniel Gehen
Editor-in-Chief

Dan was introduced to the 1960s Batman show at a young age, which developed into a lifelong passion for comics. When he's not grinding out his day job, he can be found reading about Scarlet Speedsters, Web-Heads, or Sagas just about anywhere. If it's good he'll read it. If it's bad... there's a chance he still might read it.
