My Top Comics For October 2017

Book of the Month: The Wild Storm #8 (DC)
A comic I like to read twice in order to catch all the visual and verbal clues. Still, my ignorance of these characters means that I'm probably missing some things (who are those beings looking out the window of the ship for one) and certain relationships might have more significance than I'm aware of. Never-the-less, I'm enjoying the journey and making discoveries. Davis-Hunt draws a trippy astral travel sequence in this ish that's to die for.

Nominees: Wicked + the Divine #32, The Unbelievable Gwenpool #21, Harrow County #26, Regression #5

Team Up of the Month: Spider-Man and Mockingbird, Amazing Spider-Man #789
Bobbi tries to boost Pete's spirits: the duo go out, fight a baddie and seal their win with a kiss. Their scenes together and the Stuart Immonen art made the issue worthwhile.

Nominee: Wonder Woman and Conan, Wonder Woman / Conan #2

Best First Issue: Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil #1 (Dark Horse)
Lemire joins with artist David Rubin in a spin-off from his fantastic Black Hammer series. This one flashes back to Lucy's investigation of her father's disappearance, and gives us a peak at the villainous side of this universe.

Nominee: Wild Storms: Michael Cray #1 (DC)

Second Chance of the Month: All-New Wolverine (Marvel)
New artist, new story arc. Thought I'd give it another try. While it's yet another story that revisits Laura's past, I liked it well enough to put it back on my pulls


Fight of the Month: Wicked + the Divine #32
All the fights in this action packed issue were brilliantly staged, nasty and felt like a punch to the gut. 


Writer and Artists of the Month: Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie (pictured) and Matthew Wilson, Wicked + the Divine #32

Covers of the Month:
Dying & The Dead #6 by Ryan Bodenheim - I like the delicate line work

Batwoman #8 by MIchael Cho - minimal color schemes are so cool



To November
