What Looks Good for the Week of 7/17/2019

Daniel Gehen
July 16, 2019
Columns, What Looks Good

This upcoming Wednesday sees a plethora of quality titles from a wide range of publishers. From tech-noir to mythical resurrections, there’s something for everyone.

Black Badge #12 (BOOM! Studios)

(w) Matt Kindt (a) Tyler Jenkins

This series, following a team of badass boyscouts, has reached its apex. The previous eleven issues have been building to this moment, tasking the Badges to take on the Honour Society – the nefarious organization that has been pulling the strings of misery throughout the series. As was the case with their previous series, Grass Kings, Black Badge has the team of Kindt and Jenkins firing on all cylinders, making it a worthy inclusion to anyone’s pull list.

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #1 (DC Comics)

(w) Matt Fraction (a) Steve Lieber (c) Nathan Fairbairn

This is one series I’ve actively avoided hearing information about for fear of being spoiled, other than knowing that some privileged outlets have received preview copies from DC and that the reviews are glowing. The creative team is exciting, with Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber [hopefully] looking to embrace the weird and bizarre of Jimmy Olsen’s Silver Age adventures with the advancements of modern storytelling.

(w) Christopher Priest (a) Ergun Gunduz

Christopher Priest is writing something new? It’s probably a good idea to check it out.

Die!Die!Die! Volume 1 (Image Comics)

(w) Robert Kirkman & Scott M. Gimple (a) Chris Burnham (c) Nathan Fairbairn

The series that Robert Kirkman covertly released to comic shops is collected in one volume. Honestly, as interesting as it may be to read about yet another secret government organization, the real draw here is the art by Chris Burnham (Batman: Incorporated) and Nathan Fairbairn (in his second appearance in this post). Expect a wide range of red hues in this blood-soaked, ultra-violent story.

Loki #1 (Marvel Comics)

(w) Daniel Kibblesmith (a) Oscar Bazaldua

Reports of Loki’s demise have been exaggerated. Ditto for Mjolnir. Regardless of your thoughts on yet another return from Loki, writer Daniel Kibblesmith (Valiant High) has likely cooked up something that entertains from start to finish, while artist Oscar Bazaldua injects life into the mischief god.

Blade Runner 2019 #1 (Titan Comics)

(w) Mike Johnson, Michael Green (a) Andres Guinaldo (c) Marco Lesco

Taking place slightly before the events of the 1982 classic, Blade Runner 2019 brings readers back to the grimy, tech-noir world of Los Angeles, complete with flying cars, deadly robots, and a steely-eyed protagonist. Though now having a female lead instead of Harrison Ford or Ryan Gosling is sure to piss off a certain group of internet commentators, the preview artwork and pedigree of the writing team makes this title look promising.

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.
