As a long-time comic book fan and collector, I’ve had the pleasure of reading some truly exceptional works throughout the years. Among those that stand out is the groundbreaking manga “Dororo” by Osamu Tezuka. With Kaneko taking on this classic tale, I’m confident that we’re in for a thrilling ride that will continue to resonate with readers and push the boundaries of storytelling. Having grown up with Tezuka’s work, I can only imagine what it must feel like for newcomers to discover his enduring legacy through this exciting adaptation.

The Big Burn #1
- Written by Joe Henderson
- Art by Lee Garbett
- Colors by Lee Loughridge
- Letters by Simon Bowland
- Published by DSTLRY
For those who have not yet discovered the captivating world of “Skyward,” a compelling reason to give it a try lies in the talented creative team behind “The Big Burn” #1: writer Joe Henderson and artist Lee Loughridge. If you’ve missed out on “Skyward,” consider this a two-fold recommendation as Henderson and Garbett make an electrifying duo poised to deliver another must-read DSTLRY series this week. Their new concept follows the story of Owen and Carlie, a pair of individuals who seem destined for failure, having sold their souls to the devil in order to regain their freedom after a long history of criminal activities. With their souls now in the hands of the devil, one might wonder what more they could aspire to achieve after getting away with so many misdeeds unscathed? The answer: orchestrating a daring heist to reclaim their stolen souls from the depths of hell. This intriguing premise is sure to appeal to fans of horror, crime, and romance comics alike. DSTLRY has been making waves in 2024 as the publisher to keep an eye on, expanding upon various genres and their intertwining fusion in “The Big Burn” from a team of Eisner Award-nominated creators holds just as much promise as every successful DSTLRY series before it. — Paraphrased by me, Samantha.

- Published by Oni Press
Some comic enthusiasts, including myself, were taken aback when Oni Press revealed their plan to revive EC Comics and introduce a new series under that name. However, it’s important to consider whether these comics will merely be seen as a marketing strategy or if they can truly deliver on the groundbreaking, suspenseful stories that the iconic original EC Comics were known for. With the debut of “Epitaphs From the Abyss” #1, Oni Press has a chance to quell doubts and showcase their creative team’s talent in the horror genre. As an avid reader of anthology stories, I am optimistic that Oni’s EC Comics will honor the legacy. — Jamie Lovett
The Nice House by the Sea #1

- Letters by AndWorld Design
- Published by DC
When fans stumbled upon “The Nice House on the Lake,” they were prepared for something intricately plotted and frightening. James Tynion IV never fails to deliver in these aspects for his audience. With each new installment of this 12-issue maxi-series, tension mounted, stakes rose, and an already bizarre concept of humans trapped at the end of the world grew even more complex. However, it has now been revealed that there is much more to this tale than just 12 issues. This week, in “The Nice House by the Sea” #1, readers will uncover what lies next. Though many mysteries remain and an expanse of uncertainty awaits exploration, Tynion’s return alongside artist Ílvaro Martínez Bueno is a significant reason for anticipation as the narrative transitions from one body of water to another. Martínez Bueno’s distinctive design work, featuring alien symbols and outlandish statues, hints at an intricate conspiracy that will likely unfold across numerous future series. “The Nice House By The Sea” is poised to expand upon its impressive debut. No matter where the story goes from here, fans can be confident of one thing: It promises to be a remarkable journey.
Search and Destroy Vol. 1
- Created by Atsushi Kaneko
- Published by Fantagraphics
The influence of Osamu Tezuka on the manga world is significant. Atsushi Kaneko’s “Search and Destroy,” now available in English through Fantagraphics, explores this legacy by adapting one of Tezuka’s classic works, “Dororo,” into a high-octane thriller. Previous mangaka have successfully reinterpreted Tezuka’s creations, such as Naoki Urasawa’s “Pluto,” which transformed a beloved “Astro Boy” storyline into a suspenseful sci-fi tale. Given Kaneko’s unique artistic approach, there is strong potential for “Search and Destroy” to become the next major addition to Tezuka’s body of work.

Within the next two years, Supergirl is set to grace the big screen once again in the highly anticipated DC Universe film, “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.” I’ve been an avid fan of the miniseries that inspired it, penned by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, long before its cinematic adaptation was announced. The miniseries is a stunning and magnificent reinvention of the character, deserving of the title “modern classic.” If you haven’t already, this new Deluxe Edition provides an excellent opportunity to expand your collection with this timeless masterpiece. — Jenna Anderson (Paraphrased)
