As a longtime fan of X-Men comics and Jean Grey in particular, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming Phoenix series by Stephanie Phillips and Alessandro Miracolo. Having followed Phillips’ work and being impressed with her ability to create compelling internal conflicts and intriguing situations for her characters, I have high hopes that she will delve deep into Jean Grey’s psyche, giving us a fresh perspective on the complex and powerful Phoenix.

Absolute Batman and Son by Grant Morrison
- Written by Grant Morrison

Approximately one and a half years have passed since the initial unveiling of DC Studios’ upcoming film and TV lineup by James Gunn and Peter Safran. These industry insiders have left fans eagerly anticipating the titles they hinted at, with Grant Morrison appearing to be the driving force behind the first ten projects. Notably, his Batman-focused take on “The Brave and the Bold” is generating significant buzz. In the meantime, Morrison’s work on Damian and Bruce Wayne is now compiled in an impressive new omnibus, making it a must-have for any DC Comics enthusiast who doesn’t already own it.
Captain America by Mark Gruenwald Omnibus Vol. 1
- Written by Mark Gruenwald

I cannot stop sharing my passion for the creations of Mark Gruenwald, a renowned Marvel writer, artist, and editor. He significantly contributed to the comic book community by championing and safeguarding the canon and history. Among his most notable achievements was his tenure on Captain America, during which he introduced fresh allies and enemies to Steve Rogers’ complex political landscape. I am eagerly anticipating this week’s reprint of the early issues from his run, as it is a must-have addition to my collection.
Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter #1
- Written by Jay Kristoff
- Art by Tirso
- Colors by Tirso
- Letters by Wes Abbott
- Published by DC
Allwinter” is an engaging new take on the Elseworlds DC Comics series. This spin-off, penned by Jay Kristoff and illustrated by Tirso, introduces fresh characters and settings while staying true to the essence of the original. Instead of following well-known superheroes in a large-scale conflict, “Allwinter” explores new figures in a more personal storyline. The addition of Viking elements not only complements the previous series but offers an ideal backdrop for Tirso’s intricate linework and captivating use of black-and-white art. In “Allwinter,” Deathstroke is portrayed as a fierce northman mercenary, promising a gritty and brutal take on this classic anti-hero. The blend of Vikings, Deathstroke, and the Elseworlds concept with talented young creators promises an exhilarating read for fans of “Dark Knights of Steel.”
Elric the Necromancer #1
- Written by Julien Blondel, Jean-Luc Cano
- Art by Valentin Secher
- Letters by Jessica Burton
- Published by Titan Comics
Classic fantasy literature enthusiasts recognize Elric of Melnibone as a notable character, though his popularity is limited in North America. Michael Moorcock’s brooding anti-hero, known for his gloomy demeanor and contrasting with Conan the Barbarian, hides his magical abilities, the desire of his sentient sword, and the power of his patron, Arioch, the Lord of Chaos. Titan Comics has translated and published the French adaptation of Moorcock’s Elric tales by Julien Blondel and Jean-Luc. After completing their initial quadriology of Elric adaptations, the duo now begins their next project, adapting the second half of Elric’s original adventures. This new phase commences in “Elric the Necromancer” #1, the inaugural issue of an adaptation of the Elric story “The Weird of the White Wolf.” With stunning artwork by Valentin Secher and marking the start of a fresh chapter in Elric’s life, “Elric the Necromancer” #1 is an excellent entry point for this rendition of a seminal work of fantasy fiction. — Paraphrased by Jamie Lovett
Phoenix #1
- Written by Stephanie Phillips
- Art by Alessandro Miracolo
- Colors by David Curiel
- Letters by Cory Petit
- Published by Marvel Comics
In the “Fall of X” series, Phoenix stands out as an overpowering figure with godlike abilities, leaving readers in awe. Instead of confining her back into the X-Men, the new “Phoenix” #1 comic explores the character’s potential on a cosmic level. This change in perspective is both innovative and fitting for writer Stephanie Phillips’ narrative style, which excels at exploring internal conflicts and intriguing situations that reveal character depth. Artist Alessandro Miracolo showcases their talent for space operas with captivating Star Wars comics, promising visually stunning pages filled with well-designed characters in diverse outfits. Together, these creators aim to deliver a compelling story about Phoenix as a complex character rather than just a deus ex machina, offering fans of X-Men and Jean Grey an exciting anticipation for this new series.
The Powerpuff Girls #1
- Written by Kelly Thompson
- Art by Paulina Ganucheau
- Letters by Jeff Eckleberry
- Published by Dynamite Entertainment
I’m really looking forward to the upcoming “Powerpuff Girls” relaunch, but it’s hard to identify which aspect I’m most eager for – the revival of the franchise itself, Kelly Thompson’s writing on “Birds of Prey,” or Paulina Ganucheau’s artwork on “Zodiac Starforce.” The combination of these talented creators promises an exceptional take on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup’s extraordinary superhero universe. I have a strong hunch that this series and its debut issue will be truly remarkable. — Jenna Anderson (Paraphrased)
Star Trek Annual 2024
- Written by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing
- Art by Rachael Stott
- Colors by Charlie Kirchoff
- Letters by Clayton Cowles
- Published by IDW Publsihing
One reason why “Star Trek: The Next Generation” has endured popularity is its episodic format, featuring over 20 episodes per season. This structure enabled the show to explore unusual stories, such as those where Data adopted the persona of Sherlock Holmes’ character. In these tales, Data engaged in thrilling encounters, like his confrontation with a holographic version of Sherlock’s arch-nemesis, Moriarty.
