Welcome to my third pilot post of Back Issue Review, where I give you the run-down on all the not-new comics I read this week. (Did you miss last week’s edition?)
This week I read very little Marvel and DC, instead focusing on a ton of indie comics series that are easy to pick up with no prior comics background. As it turns out, a pair of the most-popular series fell a bit flat with me, while a few more obscure titles totally blew me away. I even found a new favorite comic book to add to my pull list!
Today’s back issue review includes write-ups on:
- Backways (2017) #1
- Captain Canuck (2015) #4-5
- Dept. H (2016) #1-12
- Eternal Empire (2017) #1-4
- Gasolina (2017) #1-4
- Justice League (2016) #20-21
- Maestros (2017) #1-3
- Mercury Heat (2015) #1-12 & FCBD
- Paper Girls (2015) #6-10
- Super Sons (2017) #1-4
- The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite (2007) #1-6
- Victor LaValle’s Destroyer (2017) #1-6
I’ll tell you now that Maestros and Victor LaValle’s Destroyer are two of the best comics I’ve read from 2017 – they both totally blew me away!
Please let me know if you like this this post – I’m still experimenting with this new weekly series, but there’s no guarantee it will be back for more with you reading it.
