Six panel Manga page, read right to left. Panel 1 middle shot of two ninja standing. "..." Panel 2 Close up of a man with glasses, "This is it." Panel 3 Our protagonist upper body shot, head tilted down and his hands forward, open palms facing each other. Panel 4 Head shot of the antagonist, saying "...?" and thinking, "Is he getting in position to attack?" Panel 5 Man with glasses, "This past month... he and I worked to develop a new technique. It's time to unveil it!" Panel 6 Protagonist tighter focus, "For now...."

Full page panel. Our protagonist moving both arms to side, open palms still facing each other. "I'm going to take that... and put it to the side."

In both Japanese and English says Shinobi Undercover. Also says Shinobi Goto, Modern ninja adventure! Our protagonist ninja stands in front of a girl who is smiling and waving.

Shout out to last week's Shinobi Undercover Chap 40. Our hero is a great ninja but terrible socially. We are in the middle of a big battle, and he's being taunted. We're expecting to see a killer new move. Instead, our hero leveled up by learning how not to get mentally overwhelmed. #WeReadComics

Picture of a THICK "The Wicked + The Divine, The Compendium" graphic novel on a table.

Lovely looking book. Can't wait to dive in.

It's THICK.

Do you have any tips for holding this while reading it? An exercise regimen or a custom stand, perhaps?

A screenshot of a comic book panel in One World Under Doom #4 depicting Dormammu confronting Emperor Doom, The Sorcerer Supreme. The dialog is as follows: DORMAMMU: Your Realm is unguarded. DOOM: A manifest lie, for Doom stands before you.

#WeReadComics and One World Under Doom (Marvel, 2025) by @ryannorth.ca is just great. Really, really great.

Still working through the first Claremont X omnibus and my immediate takeaway is surprise at just how fast he nailed the characters and started building them out and how well he balances that old-school Stan era wordiness with a lot of space left for the art to speak for itself #WeReadComics

Cover for the french comic Hawkmoon book 4 by Jérôme LEGRIS, Benoit DELLAC and Luca BULGJERONI.

#wereadcomics, french edition. Today's treat is the end of an Hawkmoon adaptation.

Slow day in the bookshop has meant plenty of time to read: Minor Arcana vol 1 by Jeff Lemire; Superman: Lost, by Christopher Priest; Judge Dredd: Better World by Rob Williams & Arthur Wyatt.
Minor Arcana is the best of these three. Might just subscribe to it as an ongoing.

Amalgam Comics with covers of 'Speed Demon' , ' Amazon' & 'Legends of the Dark Claw' displayed prominently

Cover of Amalgam Comics 'Lobo the Duck'

I had a hankering for some 90's comics when a colleague reminded me of these gems, and they were delivered fresh today. Both waves of Amalgam Comics from '96 & '97. Lobo The Duck really frags.

This was a light week for me, but a book I want to spotlight this week is Uncanny X-Men #13. @gailsimone.bsky.social and @davidmarquez.bsky.social knock it out of the park with a spooky little yarn that’s going to have consequences for the book’s future.

Não comento sobre o que leio, mas como não vi ninguém falar sobre IMMORTAL THOR, achei que devia ao menos dizer ... QUE GIBI LEGAL. O tipo que te empolga com a mídia, com uma complexidade nova tanto pro @al-ewing.bsky.social, quanto pro Jan Bazaldua ou pra indústria. Espetacular #WeReadComics!

Mark Waid and Dan Mora are firing on all cylinders, and this sets up a six-part crossover with Batman/Superman: World’s Finest that I can’t wait to read.

Free for All Cover E by Noah Bailey. It shows Ted Brooks in his warrior gear with his face mask in place and holding a spear. In the background is a combatant with his arms severed and a spear sticking out of the body.

Free for All is a 56-page graphic novella from Patrick Horvath, creator of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees. That was a terrific read, so I had to pick up this book.

Cover of Far Down Below #1 showing two young boys with a flashlight in a cave, underneath a house with their bicycles parked by the porch.

Mad Cave bring us a new series called Far Down Below by Chris Condon and Gege Schall.

It starts out in 1865 with three scientists/explorers with a huge boring “ship” breaking through ground to what they call the Hollow Earth. Unfortunately for them, they are not…

Cover of Doom’s Division #1 showing the team in flight with an image of Doctor Doom behind them, pointing forward.

Doom’s Division—the rebranding of Tiger Division under the new Doom government—is off to an okay start. It wasn’t as good as their recent mini-series, but it did a decent job of introducing the characters and setting up the premise. It seems that Sunfire is…

Black Canary: Best of the Best #5 cover shows Black Canary II and Black Canary I back to back among a bunch of men they’ve defeated.

Black Canary: Best of the Best #5 continues the excitement of the previous four issues, interspersing the fight and the training and hospital moments between our two Canaries. I particularly like how they used the fight commentary with the training sessions.

Cover for Bitter Root: The Next Movement #1

One of the clerks at my LCS recommended Bitter Root: The Next Movement to me, assuring me I did not need to have read the previous series to enjoy it.

He was right!

Cover of Batman #158 shows Batman in the center with his cape over his right arm with Hush in the upper left the Joker in a cloud-like state, Superman hovering in the sky, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn. Cover artwork by J. Scott Campbell and colors by Tanya Lehoux.

I haven’t been reading Batman lately—too many comics, too little time—but couldn’t resist jumping in for the Hush story.

Jeph Loeb did a great job of setting the stage for the story, revisiting Batman’s first encounter with the Joker and the Joker’s attempt to…

Finally read the graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star.

Within the first two pages, I knew how excellent and special it was. I became so engrossed in the story of Taylor and the family (including a talking dog!) that I couldn’t put the book down.

…very sketchy. So that is another thing not in the series’ favor.

Barstow is not going on the pull list when I’m trying to watch how many titles are on it. If there is ever a deep sale, I might pick it up to see what happens.

#comics #comicsky #wereadcomics

It’s handled really well, and the Nigerian culture references add depth to the plot. The art adds to the storytelling, with good use (and absence in places) of color.

Will definitely be picking up Bronze Faces #3.

Cover to Bug Wars #1 showing Slade Slaymaker in insect armor atop a pile of insect warrior with someone behind him (probably brother Syd) with a can be bug spray.

Cover to Bug Wars #2 showing Slade Slaymaker on his knees with his hands tied in front of him along with an Ant general to his right and a Spyder Wytch to his left also tied and kneeling. Behind them are Beetle warriors.

I don’t know what I was expecting Bug Wars to be, but probably some story about insects fighting.

Well, that is what it turned out to be, but it has another level that elevates it for me. Should have trusted that Jason Aaron was going to concoct a rich story.

Cover to Who Are the Power PALs #1 from Dark Horse Comics shows Derek in his Swallow costume and Alex in his Buzzard costume in fron of a poster advertising their ‘90s show, Power Pals. Art by Ahmed Raafat.

If you want to see a couple of middle-aged, out-of-work but somehow likeable actors-turned-security guards decide to make their old superhero personas come to life, Who Are the Power Pals is the book for you.

#WeReadComics #NCBD nothing can explain my joy at finally seeing the last issue of The Deviant in my weekly pull.

Emma Rios Foc Variant Cover for FML #1.

Several people have praised FML, and I spied it on the “old” wall of my LCS when picking up my new #comics, so thought I would give it a try.

I have no idea of what Kelly Sue DeConnick and David Lopez are doing, but I definitely want more!

Variant cover by Clayton Crain for Absolute Flash #1.

The second issue I picked up today—after The Deviant—was Absolute Flash #1.

Wally West has long been one of my favorite characters. Picking up Barry’s mantle, marrying Linda, having kids, there has always been something very real, endearing, and special about him.

Cover of Deviant #9 showing a man wearing a bloodied Santa Claus suit with a bloody axe in his right hand and a white mask in his left hand. His face is in shadow. Art by Joshua Hixson.

Well, the day has FINALLY arrived—Deviant #9 hit the new #comics wall. It was the first book I picked up after completing my ComicBase entries.

It was a thrilling read as Derek continued his investigation into who was framing his boyfriend, Michael, for copycat killings…

The cover art for Batgirl #5, depicting the titular hero surrounded by bright, blue flowers against a dark background.

The cover of Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #6, depicting the titular hero and Tigra in an intimate embrace, with Khonshu -- God of the Moon -- standing over them, against a bright, blue background.

The cover of THE NICE HOUSE BY THE SEA #6, depicting a woman in grey clothes looking through a telescope, while an exploding Earth (covered in mushroom clouds) is projected onto the side of a large building behind her.

The cover art of The Ultimates #10, depicting Captain America, Hawkeye, and The Human Torch, fighting a bunch of goons sporting bandanas that show The Punisher's iconic logo.

It's Comic Book Day!!!

Apropos of nothing, do you want to watch Adolph Hitler be burned alive? THEN GO READ THE ULTIMATES #10.

I'm also stoked about my GOAT, BATGIRL!! And the return of my favorite MOON KNIGHT comic yet!! And I even get the return of NICE HOUSE BY THE SEA?? 😍Comics😍

Fantastic Four #29.

I won't say why, but if you need something to inspire hope today, this is it.

It's Comic Book Day!! So I'm shouting again!!

THE SEASONS #1 was such a colorful mystery and I need more. ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN remains the absolute (😉) best thing in DC's slate, but GREEN ARROW is giving it heat! And then I get ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN's take on a Kraven hunt?? C'moooon!
