New Comic Starting Points for June 2021

When it comes to comics, one of the hardest questions

to answer is a very basic one. Where do I begin?

With so many years of continuity and an endless

amount of series to choose from, finding a starting

point can be difficult, but that's where this

series comes in. Each week I look at all the

new comics coming out to pick out ongoing series

starting new arcs, notable new series and trades

in graphic novels coming out, and then I finish

things up by picking my pick of the week, the

starting point I'm most excited about coming

out this week. Let's start this video off by

looking at notable new series coming out this

week. series I try to pick the biggest comic

the biggest new book that is going to release

that given week and this week I guess they were

gonna go biggest why not start with planet size

and that's the case with planet -sized X -Men

number one and I actually kind of debated do

I put this in new arcs or do I put this in new

number ones because this is very much in the

vein of like reshaping the current landscape

of the X -Men world. This is written by Jerry

Dugan with Arc by Pepe LeRoz. Jonathan Hickman's

also attached probably with a story credit, but

this is going to kind of reshape again. the X

-Men universe, we've been having the Hellfire

Gala, and now this is going to kind of lead into

the new X -Men one with the new team, and then

also potentially the Jonathan Hickman Infernal

book, and basically we've been having all these

different chapters with the X -Men book, and

this is the next new chapter. All the advertisements

about... how giant -sized X -Men reshaped the

X -Men world for the new, and this is going to

do it even further. So, I mean, that's a lot

of lofty praise, or a lot of hype to build up

behind a book, but... I guess if there's any

run that's going to do it It is that does kind

of need something like this because you can tell

that it's it's shifting its focus the hellfire

gala You're seeing you're seeing a lot of cracks

form within the x -men universe And you know,

we've always you know, we've always been on this

island for some time So where do they go from

here? And I think we'll get that with this book

So if you're enjoying the x -men line This is

one you're gonna want to pick up if maybe you're

a person that dropped off of it Maybe you love

house of acts and powers of acts and all that

great stuff and the other stuff wasn't doing

for you, maybe it'd be a good time to jump back

in as it's kind of reshaping what things will

be looking like moving forward. is actually full

of a lot of big new series debuting. It's Static

Shock, season one, number one. And this is bringing

back the Milestone universe, but in a new form.

DC's been doing a lot of the Milestone reprints

and some digital stuff, but this is going to

be really, I think, the book that helps relaunch

this new era of Milestone comics. And people

don't know Milestone was a comic company in the

90s that they'd eventually partnered with DC.

And you know, it's an African -American company

that focused on African -American characters.

one of the most notable being Static Shock. I

actually never read Mausoleum comics at the time,

I was out of the world of comic books, but I

did watch and really enjoy the Static Shock cartoon

that did debut and was around that time, which

obviously a little different than the actual

comic itself, but I am excited to see this new

era. I'm hoping this will. Shine a light on milestone

comics and how important they were at the time.

It's great that they're coming back So if you

love milestone and you're kind of missing it,

you know We're seeing a new era and that with

new creative teams and new voices on these characters

and certainly a great opportunity because these

characters are Really good characters that have

just kind of been sitting on the sidelines for

far too long. It's great that they're coming

back So if you're at all interested know that

we'll get the new issue this Wednesday Another

big new number one coming out this week is Jupiter's

Legacy Requiem number one. This is written by

Mark Miller and with art by Tommy Lee Edwards.

I do wonder if this series is going to maybe

have a little bit of a lackluster desire for

people knowing that the fact that the TV show

has been cancelled, which is a bit unfortunate.

I didn't get the chance to watch most of it,

so and now I'm less inclined to kind of go back

to it. I have enjoyed the actual comic book though

in large part due to the art of Frank Quietly

who's not on this. I do like Tommy Lee Edwards

art. He's a pretty good artist, but I don't think

to the same level. Well, it's very different

styles compared to compared to Quietly, but if

you are a huge fan of the Jupiter Legacy books,

there's been a lot of different installments

of them, and you want to continue with that universe.

If you're sad that the TV show has been canceled

or ended on a cliffhanger, as people have been

mentioning, so if you're sad that happened and

you want to know what happened next, you may

not be able to watch the live -action version,

but do know the comics are out there, and we'll

get a new chapter this week. Also coming out

this week is Compass Number One, and this is...

written by Robert McKenzie with art by Dave Walker

and Greg Reca has his name on this. He's not

behind of the creative team. He's basically the

producer of this book, Compass, and this book

seems to be dealing with time travel. It's dealing

with this individual who is part scholar, mathematician,

scientist, person who can also fight, and she's

traveling through different times. She comes

from the Golden Age of Baghdad, but It looks

like this is going to be going to the 13th century

Welsh Empire and she'll be kind of conversing

and traveling different times And different periods

which it kind of makes sense because Greg Brecker

does kind of like to do that It is compared itself

to something like Old Guard. For example, these

creators have worked on previous installments

of Old Guard So that makes sense if you like

that book you'd like past Greg Brecker work You

know, he seems to really have a lot of faith

in this book. I mean it starts with Greg Brecker

proudly presents, which is kind of cool. You

do like it when kind of you see established creators

like Greg Rockett putting their name behind a

book or to help a book that are with creators

that are kind of maybe not to that same level.

You obviously see it a lot with movies and things

of that nature. And what you typically will see

is like a co -writing credit on something at

times where it's like, this is written by Michael

Bendis and somebody else. And really, it's that

somebody else is doing the most of the work,

but they're putting their name on it to think,

hey, maybe more people will check it out. Do

you like the premise of this book? I mean, I

am a fan of time travel stories. The general

look and vibe of the book is a bit different,

as a huge fan of Old Guard as well. So there's

a lot here to be excited about. Greg Ruck is

someone I do trust when it comes to putting books

together. So one would assume if he's really

faithful in this book, there's reasons to be.

Like I mentioned, there's a lot of big number

ones this week. And this might be more on the

smaller side, but I think it has potential to

be just as good and maybe a nice surprise hit

for the week. Coming off this week from aftershock

comics is seven swords number one and this is

written by Ricardo Latino who was not necessarily

a name people may know from the world of comics,

but he has worked a lot and Hollywood making

movies helping make movies and write movies like

divergent the Snow White and the Huntsman movie

So he's now coming into the world of comics and

sometimes that works out Sometimes it doesn't

like for example, Chris Cantwell who was a TV

writer for hot and catch fire. I think he's been

doing Fantastic work in the world of comics.

Will that be the case here? We shall see the

book itself seems to be this washbuckling adventure

where you have this evil monarch That's taking

control and this individual is trying to win

back control and over to do that He needs to

team up with all these different people from

across the world They're trying to capture and

get these different seven swords to get the power

they need There's some mystical elements as well

So maybe a touch of fantasy and considering where

he's coming from with something like Storm White

in the Huntsman I'm wondering if it's gonna have

something similar to that vibe or you kind of

swashbuckling tale of old maybe something like

Pirates of the Caribbean, this looking at the

cover, it does give me that type of vibe. So,

you know, anytime you have someone that is shifting

over to a different medium, there's reasons to

be hesitant. It's a different type of writing

style. Like I said, it can work, but, you know,

maybe there'll be something that can start as

a comic and become something more. I do like

that type of adventure book. Those can be a lot

of fun, something that's, you know, not necessarily

all that serious. We shall see how it actually

turns out in the end this week. Coming out this

week from boom is save yourself number one and

this is from their boom box line Which tends

to shift more to the YA kid level focus and this

creative team has worked In the past I have not

personally had a lot of experience with them

but they do seem to come in with a lot of acclaim

known for their work on the series Pandora Legacy

and now they're coming together for this book.

The book itself is about these three witches,

these magical beings who saved the world at one

point and are now kind of these pseudo celebrities

that people celebrate. What we're finding out

though is that someone is discovering as they

are fighting another magical beast. Some secrets

behind their actual triumph. Maybe they aren't

the people that they say they are What will that

actually lead to what's going on here and boom

was usually pretty solid with these books I mean

when you look at the art style, it's certainly

very anime manga influence So if you really enjoyed

that the boombox to really has a pretty established

tone Like I said, the YA audience is usually

right up that that alley So something that should

be appropriate if you have a kid or something

like that. We must done a really good job comes

to getting Original series that are appropriate

for kids thinking of things like fence for example

Which was this book about fencing that actually

was pretty good Like I didn't think I had ever

enjoyed a book like that about people in a fancy

club, but it was rather solid It seems like obviously

this is more dealing on the fantasy side But

maybe a light fantasy and if you're a fan of

their past work another Pandora's Legacy That's

something you did enjoy know that you'll they'll

be having a new series coming out this week Let's

move over to the world of ongoing series starting

new arcs starting with Justice League number

63. This issue begins the trial of Naomi who

is obviously a character that's becoming more

and more prominent within the DC universe. I

did really enjoy her debut series which was done

by Michael Bendis who of course is still writing

Justice League. When it comes to Justice League

I've not been reading it. I just I like Bendis

a lot as a writer. At least I did a lot of his

older stuff but his Superman stuff wasn't necessarily

clicking with me. when I read the first issue

of this, it felt the same way. And I know there's

a lot of people that have not been clicking with

his work with DC. Obviously he has a lot of fans

as well. But if you are looking for an opportunity

to get into a Justice League book, because I

do know there are a lot of fans of the Naomi

character. She has that new CW series that should

be coming out shortly. So this might help give

you some idea of what that character is like.

I do like her as a character. I think she is

a strong character. That is something I will

give Ben as he is really good at creating new

characters that have a pretty long longevity

or at least rewriting characters or making them

stronger thinking of things like he did with

Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Miles Morales, Naomi

now and some people I know take issue with the

fact that he's putting a focus on that character

but to me that makes sense in a way like if you're

you always have so many Batman story if you have

so many Superman stories The way you make characteristics

is you put them in prominence and you make people

care about them and you write good stories behind

them. So, you know, we'll see how that goes.

If you're interested and maybe you were thinking

about jumping into Justice League, this might

be a good point. I know there's a lot of Justice

League fans. Like I said though, I haven't been

digging this run or I just wasn't clicking with

me. It may work for you and you can check out

the new issue this week. Starting a new arc this

week is a silver coin number three this issue

is written by Ed Brisson with art by Michael

Walsh and this is another Anthology series that

actually you have been really prominent in the

world of comics as of late and what's different

about this one though is that with instead of

something like haha where you have the same writer

and a different artist here Michael Walsh is

the same artist every time but you get a different

writer this time at Brisson and this issue focuses

on a home invasion gone wrong but the people

are able to kind of get away with it and they

find a lot of luck in this lucky coin but have

some go down darker and darker paths. So I know

that people didn't like the second issue of the

silver coin. I love the reviews I've read or

watched. I wasn't the biggest fan of it. I know

one of the biggest issues I saw was they didn't

utilize the coin that much. That wasn't really

a big problem for me. But it does seem like this

issue will focus more on the aspect of the coin

and how it brings you luck and how that luck

may actually eventually run out in one phase

or another. And that's what this series has been

about. This it started with this magical coin

this guy found and they were on this band And

this band ended up playing really really well

because of this coin And of course, you know

as things often go that didn't end up well in

the end Now, again, this is really more dealing

with, instead of it being a crime story, or instead

of it being a story about a band, it's a story

about a crime gone wrong, and what can that lead

to? So, I'm interested. Ibrisson is a writer

I do like. I don't have the same type of admiration

for some of the other writers who will be on

this, but I think he's successful and he certainly...

Seems like someone who could write towards the

more horror genre but really I do think the star

of the show has been Michael Walsh and his art

because even the second issue which I didn't

dig it always looked gorgeous and so I did the

first issue so that can maintain and also this

has just been recently announced that this is

now an ongoing it was designed to be a mini but

it was successful enough to keep it going which

is great I do love anthology series and I do

love the fact that we'll get more and more people

writing this and so if you're a person who has

loved things like Ice Cream Man or Ha Ha. This

is something that you may find just as good.

We've had a lot of anthology series and that

continues with Superman Red and Blue number four.

We've had a lot of these. We had Batman Black

and White, Wolverine Red and White, Red and Black.

There's been a lot of them. Carnage had a book.

It's really been never ending, and even like

Ren Sonia. But now Superman has his, and it's

red and blue. I've been enjoying these here and

there. They're a mixture of short stories by

different creators, and some of the creative

teams have been stronger than others. But I think

the highlight of this issue is knowing that Mark

Waid will be actually writing a story. And Mark

Waid, for a very long time, has not done anything

with DC. And if you want to know why... look

it up. There's just a lot of personal drama with

him and certain people that work at DC. now that

there's been some regime change within the DC

universe. I think he's now kind of back and he's

written a few things. I think he was on a Batman

anthology a little bit while ago as well but

now he's writing Superman and he's written a

lot of great Superman books in the past. Superman

Birthright I think is maybe his most notable

or maybe Kingdom Come which I guess technically

is a Superman story. I see it more than a Superman

story but I guess at the heart of it is a Superman

tale so if you're a huge Mark Waid fan he's obviously

not the only one on this. It's just the most

little name I saw. I do love these short stories

and just the premise of trying to maintain the

certain color choice, which has been pretty good.

It's not been my favorite of all of the anthology

series. I thought it started off well with a

few of the issues, but all in all, it's been

okay. But as a huge Superman fan, you never know.

The next issue can be the best issue because

again, you get a whole new slew of creators and

you and you'll get a whole new slew of stories.

So hopefully this issue will be the best one

yet. I'm super excited to put this book on the

list, and it's Yusaki Yu's Jimbo No. 20, and

this is Yusaki No. 1, I'm probably pronouncing

that incorrectly, but this is a pretty big issue

for Yusaki Yu Jimbo because it's an introduction

to this brand new character to the Yusaki Yu

Jimbo universe, which doesn't happen. I always

say it doesn't happen every day, but really every

issue it tends to have new characters, but this

is going to be a reoccurring character, and I'm

not a person that talks about first appearances

because I don't care about that type of stuff,

but... knowing Sansakai, he doesn't make decisions

like this because he cares about speculation,

he cares about story, and really why I'm bringing

it up is because Usagi Ujimbo continues to be

one of the best comic books out on the stands.

It was just again nominated for Best Continuing

Series Eisner, and it's still deserved. The fact

that despite the fact that this book is older

than I am, which is pretty impressive, it still

It's still very welcoming to new readers. So

despite the fact, you know, this is issue 20,

but really this is probably issue like 600 or

I don't know if you know where maybe 300 or so

of of actual Yusagi Ujimbo. You can go in not

reading anything else for pretty much any issue

and you'll be able to understand it because I

think Stan Sekai is really great at just bringing

you in as a writer. His story is there's a Like

a simplicity to them that that seems like oh,

this is a really kind of basic story But there's

a lot of complexity within that and just he's

really good at character and again his cartoon

He's always on point. So i've been really loving

yusagi yujimbo I was really really late to the

party of yusagi yujimbo. I just really got into

it When he was ending his run at Dark Horse and

now he's doing his IDW stuff I was a little worried

with it being in color because like is that just

a gimmick? But it's been in color before and

it still works out really well So if you're a

person that's been at all hesitant who's never

read a you soggy you Jimbo book I highly advise

checking it out if you're a person who loves

creating comics if you're a comic book writer

or artist whatever Read you soggy you Jimbo because

I think you'll get a great lesson on how to write

and how to write stories that are welcoming to

new readers, which is a skill that I don't think

is nearly as strong with a lot of writers today

as it is with Sansa Kai. I mean, he is a legend,

so it's hard to compare him to everyone else,

but I'm really excited to see how this issue

turns out this week. The last ongoing series

starting a new arc this week we're gonna talk

about is North mythology number one. And you'd

be like, well, this is a number one. Why didn't

you include it in the number ones? Because...

It's that dark horse thing that they tend to

do a lot where, yes, this is a number one, but

technically it's the second season. There was

this one season in North mythology and now we're

getting another season, but this is new issue

number one. And if you're confused at all, ultimately

just now there's Neil Gaiman and other creators

and artists taking on North mythology tales and

doing their own little spin on them. And I've

been really liking this book and a lot of the

stories do tend to not be connected. They tend

to be their own thing. And there have been multiple

stories and a lot of the issues as well. One

of my favorites. was actually dealing with a

character that I can't remember any of the names

but it was dealing with the wolf beast and they're

trying to find ways of tricking him in order

to get his different prizes and obviously like

North pathologies used a lot in the Marvel universe

this is a very different take on them these characters

like when they do have characters like Thor They're

not as heroic. You see more of the fault of the

gods and the hubris of the gods With that Neil

Gaiman like take and he's not the only writer

on this But if you are a Neil Gaiman fan, you

do like his style. I do think it does really

fit into that It's been a really surprising good

series That's been somewhat overlooked but really

strong that every issue has been great. Obviously

when you have shifting creators and artists and

stuff like that. Sometimes it'll be better than

other. If you do like myths, you do like fantasy,

this will be a book I would advise you checking

out. And like I said, the good thing about this,

even if you missed one issue, don't be worried.

Like I didn't read season one, am I gonna understand

it? My guess is probably yes. Like a lot of these

stories are standalone, so you can go in fresh

and not have to worry. I mean, these are ancient

stories. It's basing things off of. So these

are characters you probably know in some shape

or form. Obviously there are different versions

of them, but. the core is pretty similar despite

the fact that these are different takes. We talked

about ongoing series starting new arcs. Let's

move over to the world of trades graphic novels

and collections Starting with locking key key

house compendium and locking key is probably

the most acclaimed series IDW has put out at

least in the last decade It's really garnered

a lot of fans and had its obviously his own Netflix

show So if you are a huge fan of this, maybe

you love the next show never read the comic Do

you know you're gonna get the entire collection

out or at least part of the collection? You know,

there's been like it's been off miniseries that

have come out not too long ago you had the kind

of the crossover with the Sandman universe as

well this is I think just collecting the the

first major series so this is obviously written

by Joe Hill and art by Gabriel Rodriguez so if

you're a huge fan of this book you've really

enjoyed it or you always wanted to dive in and

actually check out the comic book and seeing

is it as good as people say I will say this is

a really solid book this is a type of horror

story that I think would appeal to people that

aren't even really horror fans. And I think calling

it horror almost minimizes it in a way. I think

its genre is much more than that. So I think

the TV show, the Netflix show, did a pretty good

job of capturing what the comic is. It's obviously

a different flavor because of live action versus,

you know, the comic book. But in general, I think

if you like one, you most likely will like the

other. Obviously with compendiums. they can run

you a pretty penny, so it may not be something

you wanna jump at, but if you know someone who's

a huge fan of the series, then you're looking

for a gift, it may be a really good one to pick

up, because I will say IDW, when it comes to

their collections, they put out really quality

stuff, I mean, they actually put out collections

for other company stuff, because they put a lot

of work and effort into it, so you're gonna get

something that, there's a lot of time and effort,

it's a good looking package, just looking at

the cover and the general design of it looks

really solid, so it will be something that will,

one of those books that's probably worth the

money you'll be putting into it. The new graphic

novel from Image this week is Jim Lives, and

this is a story about a father trying to find

his missing son. His son is a newspaper reporter

that the last message he got from him was the

one that said, Jim Morrison is still alive, I'll

tell you everything, but after that message has

been sent, He's vanished and no one knows where

he went. So his father is going off to Italy

where he's last been to see if he can find what

happened to his son and hopefully find his son.

And this is actually a team that last year brought

us this book. Paul is dead, which I just got

and I have not read yet But I'm excited for it

and now that they have a new book coming out

this week clearly They have a thing for comic

books that have some sort of musical Backing

this dealing with the Beatles this of course

dealing with Jim Morrison So if you did really

love this book and I did see a lot of acclaim

for this book is really highly praised Know that

this creative team does have a new graphic novel

coming out this week. If you do love music you

look huge Doris fan, huge Tim Morrison fan, or

you just like stories about someone trying to

find a missing person because those can be really

solid too. You'll be able to check this book

out. Again, it's coming from Image Comics and

it should be available at most of your local

comic book stores. from DC this week is DC's

Hope at World's End hardcover and this collects

the digital first series that was put out and

this series kind of takes place in between the

different DC's universe because you have the

first DC's book and then the the second DC's

book that was Dead Planet and this is kind of

links them both and the one thing about this

being a digital first is that you do tend to

see kind of shifting artists but I will say the

quality wise It tends to be really good. And

of course, this is still written by Tom Taylor

with a shifting creative team. And I will say,

you know, Tom Taylor is not foreign to the world

of digital first comics. You know, his run on

the Justice League books that were digital first

based upon the video game, you know. those really

I think helped establish his career and despite

the fact that he was working with so many different

artists and you know when you read it digitally

you know it's typically kind of broken down in

two panels but they fixed that and they change

it for the physical format so if you're a person

who has been loving Be Ceased and you hate digital

comics or you haven't read the digital version

of them and you want to read them in physical

form you can now get this just missing chapter

at your local comic book store this Wednesday.

Coming out this week is resistance and this is

written by Val McDermott with art by Katherine

Briggs and Val McDermott is maybe not a name

people know in the world of comics, but she's

a really accomplished writer She's known as the

British queen of crime when it comes to prose

But now she's transitioning over to the world

of comics or graphic novels for this resistance

story and it's about a world in which a pandemic

happens and it focuses on the people trying to

fight back against this deadly pandemic and It

does seem like it's something that's maybe hitting

a little close to home with COVID happening,

but maybe it's I don't know if this was written

prior to that. I don't know if it's good timing

or bad timing, but. It's really great when we

do get these writers who are really well accomplished,

I think, in prose, whatever that may be, and

try the comic book format. Hopefully that'll

bring people that don't typically read comics

into the comic book world. Is it always effective,

like I mentioned with the writer who is coming

from the world of movies trying to write a comic

book? It's a very different type of medium. I

will say doing a graphic novel maybe makes the

most sense. What you tend to see the most with

prose writers is that they put too much on the

page and they... don't trust the artist enough.

Will that be the case here? There are some people

that have made the transition relatively really

quickly. For example, we just talked about Lock

and Key, and Jill Hill was a prose writer before

writing comics, and he made the transition really

seamlessly. Like, you would think that he came

being a comic book writer first. Will that be

the case here? I'm not sure, but if you're looking

for something different or looking for a new

creator to kind of get behind, if you are a fan

of her other work or her other pros work, you'll

be having a new comic book you can check out.

This might be one of those books that you may

not be able to find near your local comic book

store because it doesn't have the types of names.

The company is like an image or something like

that. But if you're interested on it, you maybe

go to the comic book store and ask them and just

say, hey, can you get this for me? And they could

probably order it from Diamond or last bet, maybe

check your local bookstore as well. Well, if

you have one of those, either way, know it'll

be coming out this week. Also coming out this

week is Factory Summers by Guy D 'Alessi. And

this is about a story. of him growing up and

what he dealt with working in a mill in the long

hours and the work that went into that near your

personal kind of memoir in a way. And as a person

that loves graphic memoirs, this is something

that will be right up my alley. It may not be

everyone's cup of tea, you know, if you love

your squeaky reaction. A guy working at the mill

may not be the most exciting read, but what you

tend to get with books like this is a slice of

life, real human drama, and kind of what will

drive a person in a drama they don't love or

what general life can be like. for individuals

that are just trying to get by, or those that

have the admiration for bigger and better things.

So, Common Trove, I don't know exactly what country

it's coming from, but it is a book that is translated,

and I do love reading comics from other countries,

and just the different styles. Guy Veslese is

a pretty accomplished writer. He's had a number

of different books, all focusing on different

things. He had a book about Jerusalem, for example.

Looking at general different life. This one seems

to be more personal again looking at his actual

life So it might be really cool just seeing someone

Coming from a different world very in more ways

than one telling their story I do really tend

to like that type of stuff. So if you do too

You may want to check out this book this week.

All right, now we talked about ongoing series

starting new arcs, notable new series, and trades

in graphic novels. I'm going to get to my pick

of the week, the book that I'm most excited about

coming out this week. My pick of the week this

week, it was a really hard choice. I was very

close to going with you, Sagi. You, Jim Bell,

was neck and neck with this. But it being a new

series, I think that's why I was anticipating

it a little more, because this book could be

really good or it could kind of fall in its face

right away. So my most anticipated book, my most

anticipated starting point for this week. is

Supergirl World of Tomorrow number one. This

is written by Tom King with art by Bella Chris

Everly and I know Tom King is now one of those

names that some people really hate his work because

maybe the batman run didn't end like they wanted

it to or Me I've really enjoyed this stuff for

the most part like I've really enjoyed Rorschach

right now is one of my favorite comics with DC

or really out period. Vision for example I did

like the majority have a Batman run and then

everything clicked with me and I did actually

like when he took on the character Superman for

those Walmart books so how will he take on the

character a Supergirl and Supergirl is a character

that I've not read a lot I read you know the

future state books I read Supergirl being super

mostly because of Joel Jones's art and Belkis

Ever - hopefully I'm saying that name correctly,

is an artist that I've enjoyed in the past, specifically

with the work that she did on The Dreaming. And

when I look at her art, it's not the type of

art that I say, oh, this would make a great super

girl artist or superhero artist, which is why...

I'm excited because I do feel like DC is pretty

notorious for having a pretty standard house

style, which I can get kind of bored with at

times. So I do like it when they experiment and

try different artists or styles that don't necessarily

fit their norm. And I do feel like they do that

a lot with Tom King, like Mr. Rourke, for example,

is not someone that I think is normally the type

of artist that they go with for like a Batman

book. But Tom King was able to get him on that.

And I do think that is something that has Tom

King's strength as well. He knows how to pick

good artists and match his style with art, the

artists that he's working with, whether it be

Mr. George, Doc Shaner, all the different Batman

artists, and hopefully that will be the case

here. And I think this could be a breakout hit

for someone like Belkis Everly, who is a name

that has done a lot of good work, but it clearly

is not a household name. But if you put it with

someone like Tom King, who love him or hate him,

he does get a lot of attention. and if this book

can kind of blow up and be, you know, be a quality

book. And I think it's great that we're getting

a Supergirl book because I do feel like there

has been a lot of male -centric books for DC,

but not a lot of female -centric books when they

have so many great female characters that have

been around for such a long time. Hopefully this

will be another one. Plus we'll get to see why

exactly the Supergirl have a sword. You know,

that could be fun too. This does seem like to

be a major week for just comic book starting

points and comics in general. Last week was a

bit lackluster. This week was really packed,

so. that has me excited. I guess it's the nature

of comics or the nature of when you have a 5

Wednesday month as well. So at least that's it

for me for this week. Let me know what you're

really excited about coming out this week. If

you want to check out my top 10 video, check

out it below. I'll have another installment of

the Ed Brubaker Grit Retrospective on Friday,

a graphic thoughts video on Wednesday. So be

on the lookout for those. I know there are a

ton of comic book channels out there, so I appreciate

any of you, any like, any comment. Thank you

for taking the time to do that. Just remember

that comics are for everyone. The key is finding

the right one. Until next time, keep reading.
