Big issue! We meet Mammon and learn why he needs his Schools, and the limits of his power. A new mystery is revealed and power struggles continue. Smart, dark work from Jonathan Hickman, Tomm Coker and Michael Garland
Nominees: Dark Ark, Unholy Grail #3, Black Hammer #13, Wild Storm #7, Hawkeye #10, Mr. Miracle #2, Doom Patrol #8, Wicked + the Divine #31 and Red Hood and The Outlaws #14 (a moving riff on Flowers for Algernon)
Nice to see the Marvel’s united. The dialogue was cute, had me chuckling several times.
Nominee: Wonder Woman/Conan #1
What if the devil set out another ark during the flood, and had it filled with unholy creatures? That’s the hook in Cullen Bunn’s new series, that you have some surprisingly sharp character work is what makes it float. Nice art from Aftershock MVP, Juan Doe.
Nominees: Runaways #1, Made Men #1
Tim Seeley knows horror, so when I found out he was taking over writing chores on the Hellblazer I hopped back on board. While I don't know that you can do anything new with Constantine (he's a dick who pisses people off) Tim's first two issues have been real creepy. I like it.
Picture is NSFW. Art by John Davis-Hunt. The sequences is violent, bloody but beautifully staged
He shared the issue with other artists, but his work was the stand-out
Bunn has been a busy man this year, and his best (IMHO) are the creator owned horror stories he’s scripted for Aftershock, Dark Horse and others.
