VAMPIRONICA #5
Written By: Greg & Meg Smallwood
Art By: Greg Scott
Colors By: Matt Herm
Letters By: Jack Morelli
Price: $3.99



Vampironca #5 marks the last issue of the mini-series as Veronica has to fend off her worst fears to save her friends. Sadly, this is a pretty by the numbers finale. I was a bit disappointed that everything turned back to normal by the end, but I’m hoping there are some vampire remnants for the upcoming Jughead: The Hunger crossover. The artwork isn’t as strong as Greg Smallwood moves his efforts on just writing duties. The book lost some of its charm with this switch. I rather the series be delayed than have this rushed ending. ~ Kat @ComicUno
Verdict: 3 Stars








SABAN’S GO, GO POWER RANGERS #15
Written By:  Ryan Parrott
Art By: Eleonora Carlini
Colors By: Raúl Angulo
Letters By: Ed Dukeshire
Main Cover By: Dan Mora
Intermix Cover By: Miguel Mercado
Preorder Cover By: Audrey Mok
Homage Incentive By: Natacha Bustos
Retail Price: $3.99



Trini is the new Red Ranger and Jason is the new Yellow Ranger. And… there might be some other complications too. Concurrently, Rita reaches the Green Power Coin. Ryan Parrott does an excellent job writing Go, Go Power Rangers the reason being he achieves the optimal balance between plot, character, and action. He also has clear defining voices of each character that picks up where the actors left off on screen and dive deeper. Parrott takes these character and makes them more complex and enriching every aspect of them. Carlini's art is on point. We get glimpses of the actors' expressions while completely embracing the more animated adventures that the comic and Parrott have created for the Rangers. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate


Verdict: 4 3/4 Power Bolts






THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS #1
"The Laughing House Part 1"
Written By: Scott Snyder
Art By: Jock
Colors By: David Baron
Letters By: Sal Cipriano
Cover By: Jock
Variant Covers By: Greg Capullo & FCO Plascencia
Price: $4.99



The Batman Who Laughs is back and he brought a new deadly friend. I am torn on this one. I find myself liking part of the story like the mystery of the dead Bruce Wayne, and the new "Punisher" Batman, but then things like the toxin in the Joker's heart and a few other things like Gordon not connecting Batman to the dead Bruce Wayne body takes from the story. Overall though this is a gripping issue that makes you want to return for more. The art was at times dark but very fitting for the mood and setting of the book.   ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate
Verdict: 4 Stars





HAWKMAN #7
Written By: Robert Venditti
Art By: Bryan Hitch
Inks By: Bryan Hitch and Andrew Curry
Colors By: Jeremiah Shipper
Letters By: Starkings and Comicraft
Cover By: Bryan Hitch
Variant Covers By: Julian Totino Tedesco
Price: 3.99




Hawkman issue #7 tells the Origin story of how Hawkman, KTar began his journey through time and space and what came just before that moment.  The true Deathbringer is revealed and it’s not what we expected.  Robert Venditti continues to give us a story worthy of a long history like that of Hawkman’s. The art by Bryan Hitch with Andrew Curry is epic in scope and emotional reflections.  Certain panels will pull you into the pain that KTar is in and the truth he is starting to realize.  Overall, a great issue that tells us what Hawkman fans have always wanted to know, how did it all start.  Next up for our hero, a trip to Krypton! ~ Justin @ExileState

Colors By: Ross Campbell
Letters By: Dave Sharpe
Cover By: Ben Caldwell
Price: $7.99



Meet the newest detective in town, Tonya Littlefoot, the Sasquatch Detective. I LOVE this book! I thought this was a nice fun-filled throwback to the classic Hanna-Barbera era of shows. The first story, the largest in the book tells about how Tonya became the Sasquatch Detective while the remaining ones tell us more about her life after joining law enforcement and her cases. I already feel like this new character is one that I grew up with because of the way the issue was done. The art was perfect both Caldwell and Vazquez styles blend so well that it never felt like there was a change to the art. I hope the final page means we will be seeing more of Tonya Littlefoot in the future.  ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate




SUPERMAN #6
"The Unity Saga Part 6"
Written By: Brian Michael Bendis
Pencils By: Ivan Reis
Inks By: Joe Prado & Oclair Albert 
Colors By: Alex Sinclair
Letters By: Josh Reed
Cover By: Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, & Alex Sinclair
Variant Covers By: Adam Hughes
Price: $3.99



It is Superman and Zod Vs. Rogol Zaar and some of the vilest criminals in the Phantom Zone. For the most part, I have been enjoying Bendis' run on Superman, but I have to admit, this is his weakest issue. We spent five issues working to this showdown and it is rushed and explained away through dense exposition filled splash pages. For the most part, I love the art, but I think a lot of the splash pages were weakened by the blank space used for the exposition text. While the overall story had a few highlights it wasn't until the end of the book with Jon returning older than he should be is where I felt Bendis got back into the grove with Superman that he once had in previous issues. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate
Verdict: 3 ¾ Stars










BATMAN: DAMNED #2
Written By: Brian Azzarello
Art By: Lee Bermejo
Letters By: Jared K. Fletcher
Cover By: Lee Bermejo
Variant Cover By: Jim Lee & Alex Sinclair
Price: $6.99



The Joker is dead, or is he? Batman must navigate the dangers of Gotham to get to the truth about what happened. While I thoroughly enjoyed the last issue this one, not so much. This issue demonstrates the downside of Azzarello's writing for me. He takes a premise as interesting as "Did Batman kill the Joker?" and makes it too out there. I don't want nor need even an implied Jason Blood/Etrigan as some underground Gotham rapper, the tainting of the Waynes' marriage, or the reason why Batman doesn't use a gun. It feels like he wants to reinvent the wheel so he makes an impact in the industry, this style doesn't appeal to me. But the writing isn't the only issue I had here. While I did enjoy the art for the most part, at times it was a bit muddy and chaotic. The lettering also has its weak points with the narration, the font choice leaves much to be desired because at times it makes it hard to read. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate
Verdict: 2 ½ Stars






MAGIC: THE GATHERING - CHANDRA
Written By: Vita Ayala
Art By: Harvey Tolibao
Colors By: Joana Lafuente
Letters By: Christa Miesner
Cover By: Ken Lashley
Variant Covers By Tyler Kirkham
Price: 3.99




Magic: The Gathering - Chandra issue #1 is exactly what you need in an introductory issue to a series, whether the reader is a long time Magic: The Gathering (MTG) fan or if this is the first MTG related product that they have ever picked up. This issue introduces us to Chandra, gives a great explanation of what she is and her abilities as a Planeswalker. While along the way we see several different planes as Chandra goes out on her patrols to protect and help those in need.  Vita Ayala and Harvey Tolibao both do a great job on this first issue and I will be checking the next issue to see where this story continues to go from here. ~ Justin @ExileState
Verdict: 3 ½ Stars

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #11
Written By: Nick Spencer
Pencils By: Ryan Ottley
Inks By: Cliff Rathburn
Colors By: Laura Martin
Letters By: VC’s Joe Caramagna
Cover By: Ottley & Martin
Variant Covers By: Giuseppe Camuncoli & David Curiel, Gabriele Dell’Otto
Price: $3.99



In this issue, Spencer kicks off the holidays with fights over Galactus dolls, fancy banquets, interrupted holiday dinners and throwback villains! The central focus of the issue, though, is the rocky relationship between J. Jonah Jameson and Peter Parker/Spider-Man. The two have been through many, many ups and downs over the years, but recently, we’ve seen JJJ caring deeply about the wallcrawler and wanting to help him as best he can. Here, though, we see that relationship start to splinter a bit as JJJ gets some footing of his own. His old personality flaws start to rise to the surface once again, and it all feels very fluid and organic the way Spencer writes it here.

Ottley’s artwork is top notch as usual also, especially the fight scenes with Hippo and the close-up shots of JJJ screaming either into a microphone or at Spidey.

I love that this book has brought back so much focus on Spidey’s supporting cast, and this issue is certainly no exception to that. We are getting back to basics with death traps and kidnappings, and B and C list villains crashing the party. Love the direction this team is taking the book so far, and this was another great example.

My only word of caution would come in making sure the representation of their (JJJ and Spidey) relationship is consistent between books, but the way Spencer handled it here, breaking down and all, made perfect sense to me. I’m curious to see where it goes from here. ~ Brant @BrantFowler
Verdict: 4 ½ Stars




FANTASTIC FOUR: WEDDING SPECIAL #1

Price: $4.99



Before they can walk down the aisle, every couple has traditions and rights of passage to go through and that isn't any different for Ben Grim and Alicia Masters. This is a nice fun, misleadingly titled book. There is no actual wedding here, this is more about the Bachelorette Party for Alicia which introduces readers to her non-powered and powered besties which takes up the bulk of this special. The remaining stories focus on Alicia's stepfather the Puppet Master, the first one with Ben going for his blessing was my favorite of the two. The second story while amusing felt like padding to justify the extra cost of the issue. The art in all three worked splendidly with their accompanying stories. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate
Verdict: 4 Stars


MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN  #1
Written By: Saladin Ahmed
Art By: Javier Garron
Colors By: David Curiel
Letters By: VC’s Cory Petit
Cover By: Brian Stelfreeze
Variant Covers By: Marko Djurdjevic, Lee Garbett, Adi Granov
Price: $3.99



I’ve been looking forward to this book since it was announced. I’ve been really curious how other creative teams sans Bendis would handle Miles in his own series, and so I couldn’t wait to check it out. And for the most part, I feel like Ahmed did a pretty good job capturing the essence of Miles and his supporting cast, even with a few clunky moments here and there.

The use of a mandatory school journal to recap Miles’ origin and story so far was quite clever and really worked within the framework of this story. Instead of just getting your standard origin recap, we were treated to a natural way to include it in the story that ties into a part of Miles’ everyday life. The only thing story wise I didn’t care for as much was the heavy-handed message of fighting the injustices of deportation and detainment of children immigrants. Not that it’s not an important issue, but it felt a little from out of left field and was then too conveniently connected to other parts of his life the very same day. That said, the twist with the heist made it a little more forgiving.

Art-wise overall was nicely done. Great, dynamic panels with a great sense of movement, on point facial expressions, gestures and mannerisms, and accurate depictions of the characters, save for Ganke. Not loving the new hairstyle or lack of screen time for Miles’ best friend. Also, there were a few panels when Miles was in his costume that the webbing on the face looked a little off, and the coloring at times was dingy and flat, which is quite unusual for Curiel’s work.

All in all, I enjoyed this issue and am looking forward to reading Miles and his supporting cast again. I just hope this creative team gets their feet under them a bit more and continues to grow with the series. ~ Brant @BrantFowler
Verdict: 3 ¾ Stars



SPIDER-FORCE #3
"The Uncanny Spider-Force Breathe" 
Written By: Priest
Pencils By: Marcelo Ferreira & Ibraim Roberson
Inks By: Roberto Poggi, Ibraim Roberson & Craig Yeung
Colors By: Guru e-FX
Letters By: VC's Joe Sabino
Cover By: Shane Davis, Michelle Delecki & Morry Hollowell
Price: $3.99



The Spider-Force has Solus Crystal now they have to prevent Verna from killing them, taking it from them and resurrecting her father, which we already know happens thanks to Spider-Geddon #4. Having the ending spoiled or not didn't diminish my enjoyment of the journey to that endgame. This issue felt a bit more disjointed than the previous two and was a bit too dependent on Spider-Geddon to wrap this and all the other tie-ins up. I am also pretty worried about the fate of both Kaine and Charlie. The art is surprisingly solid here despite two pencilers and three inkers. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate
Verdict: 4 Stars




SPIDER-GIRLS #3
Written By: Jodie Houser
Art By: Andres Genolet
Colors By: Jim Charalampidis & Triona Farrell
Letters By: VC’s Joe Caramagna
Price: $3.99



Spider-Girls has so much potential but just doesn’t have the panel time to fully flesh itself out. The series does a solid job at tying back to Spider-Geddon while seeing some exciting action sequences between the girls, but the most enjoyable aspect of the issue was the small heart-to-heart Annie and May are able to have about what they’ve lost within their family. On pencils, Andres Genolet delivers some of the strongest and most stylish artwork I’ve seen for both Mayday and Annie in a long time. Spider-Girls #3 may have been created because of Spider-Geddon, but the event ends up being the biggest disservice to the series. ~ Kat @ComicUno
Verdict: 3 ½ Stars




SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST-SPIDER #2
Written By: Seanan McGuire
Art By: Rosi Kampe
Colors By: Ian Herring
Letters By: VC’s Clayton Cowles
Price: $3.99



Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider is the strongest story to come out of Spider-Geddon, and has the smoothest conclusion as all of the tie-ins transition into Spider-Geddon #5. Issue three allows this world to have a complete story by also giving us hope that this won’t be the last we’ve seen of Goblin Gwen. The strongest aspect of this issue is MJ’s connection with Goblin Gwen. I like that Seanan McGuire uses MJ to take Gwen out of her trance, even if the switch to good was a little rushed. Rosi Kampe's pencils are pretty solid throughout the issue but could've delivered stronger facial expressions for the more emotional scenes. Overall, I’m very excited for Gwen to return to her universe because I miss her supporting cast, but I’m surprised by how much I’m going to miss this new world. This is a sentiment to how well McGuire was able to build these new characters in only the span of three issues.~ Kat @ComicUno
Verdict: 4 Stars

A team-up issue I need to see happen!

BETTY& VERONICA #1
Written By: Jamie Lee Rotante
Art By: Sandra Lanz
Colors By: Kelly Fitzpatrick
Letters By: Jack Morelli
Cover By: Sandra Lanz
Variant Covers By: Various Artists
Price: $3.99



Betty and Veronica are back from summer vacation and are ready for Senior Year with secrets and boys. I was wary of this book before going into it given the recent Archie #700 which saw a "Riverdale" influenced take and I thought that is where this book was heading, but I was wrong. I felt the classic B & V dynamic and setting here in a way this is a spiritual successor of the Mark Waid run on Archie. Rotante really knows these characters and delivers that true classic Archie feel for the modern era. I  never thought I would like Reggie with anyone, but man Rotante must be a Wizard because she just gave Reggie a heart! Rotante is not alone here as Lanz does a great job embracing the classic art while not making it feel dated or passe. This is the Betty & Veronica book I have been waiting for. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate

It's Christmas time again and Klaus is back and this time he has an adventure with a special Snowman. Morrison has become a part of my Christmas Traditions with his modern reimagining of Santa Claus. Klaus is my favorite work Morrison has ever done, this one especially hits the heart with just the right about of Christmas joy and hope with the second chance for Sam, what can I say I am a sucker for Father/Son stories and Christmas stories and this is both. Dan Mora proves why he is the next big thing in comics here filling each page with art that should be framed. I look forward to what they have in store for us next year. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate

MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #34
"Beyond The Grid"

Main Cover By: Jamal Campbell
Vintage Variant By: Jordan Gibson
Color Spotlight Variant By Linda Lithen
Unlocked Retailer Variant By: Miguel Mercado
Price: $3.99



The Rangers standoff against the Preator's troops and call upon their Zords. I am thoroughly enjoying Beyond the Grid so far, delving into the history of the Power Rangers and the Morphing Grid, creating a rich tapestry of lore. Bennett really shows her knowledge and fandom of Power Rangers here and producing her best work to date. Di Meo's art at times is a bit chaotic but each issue it gets more refine which plays off perfectly with the feel of the story as they adjust and get tighter as a team so does the art. I also like that Di Meo takes a different approach to show the Rangers emotions while morphed by catching half of the helmet in this de-morphing effect. The backup story with Blue Senturion and Ninjor has been my favorite so far and makes me want more. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate
Verdict: 4 ½ Power Bolts



FREEDOM FIGHTERS #1 (OF 12) 
"Chapter One: The Death Of A Nation"
Written By: Robert Venditti
Pencils By: Eddy Barrows
Inks By: Eber Ferreira
Colors By: Adriano Lucas
Letters By: Deron Bennett
Cover By: Eddy Barrows And Adriano Lucas
Variant Cover By: Ben Oliver
Price: $3.99



The Freedom Fighters are dead, long live the Freedom Fighters! Robert Venditti brings a brutally honest truth to the Freedom Fighters making their fight all the more realistic this time around. I also have to admit I smiled when Human Bomb did his rally call that they were going to bring America Back, I love a good rallying moment and Venditti did a truly patriotic one here. Eddy Barrows delivers great art that doesn't hold anything back and brings you to the frontlines with the Freedom Fighters. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate

DISNEY AFTERNOON GIANT #2 
"Chip "N' Dale: Rescue Rangers: Worldwide Rescue Part 2
Written By: Ian Brill
Art By: Leonel Castellani
Colors By: Jake Myler
Letters By: Jason Arthur

"DuckTales: Rightful Owners Part 2: Ruby Or Not Ruby?" 
Written By: Warren Spector
Art By: Jose Massaroli & Magic Eye Studios
Colors By: Braden Lamb
Letters By: Deron Bennett
Cover By: Leonel Castellani
Price: $5.99



I loved the Disney Afternoon with shows like Chip 'N' Dale: Rescue Rangers and DuckTales and that feeling is back in comic form! Both teams managed to bring back a part of my childhood and made it mature with me while maintaining the same charm it did back then. Disney needs to grab Ian Brill, and Warren Spector to spearhead a writers room for a new Disney Afternoon with modern takes on these classics. I watched the new DuckTales and while it is good this is and always will be DuckTales for me. Castellani, Massaroli, and Magic Eye Studios all done a great job bringing these characters to life to where it feels like I holding cells from the shows themselves in my hand. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate

MIDDLEWEST #1
Written By: Skottie Young
Art By: Jorge Corona
Colors By: Jean-Francois Beaulieu
Letters By: Nate Piekos of Blambot
Cover By: Mike Huddleston
Price: $3.99



Middlewest is Scottie Young best work to date! Skottie Young made a name for himself with his signature art style and took a stab at writing on other occasions but it wasn't until Middlewest when the true artist of Skottie Young emerged as a writer. Young creates characters that are captivating and manage to draw the reader into the book and go on the journey with them. Jorge Corona is the perfect art for this series bringing a style that really captures the imagination. ~ Jay @ComicBookTheate

BOOM! Studios today unveiled a first look at FIREFLY #3, arriving in comic book shops on January 16th. New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak (Star Wars, Ronin Island) and artist Dan McDaid (Judge Dredd), along with series creator & story consultant Joss Whedon (the visionary writer/director behind Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Marvel’sThe Avengers and more) continue the iconic worldwide pop culture phenomenon’s sold-out return to comic books in partnership with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products.


As the crew learns the shocking truth about the actions of their leaders in the Unification War, they find themselves splintered and more vulnerable than ever to the Unificators . . . and an enemy they never expected. Now, discover the untold origin of their leader Boss Moon as she puts her plan into effect to exact revenge on the two people who ruined her life – Mal and Zoë.

“We’ve always known that Mal and Zoë had to make tough decisions during the Unification war, but Boss Moon is the living embodiment of the consequences. As we learn more about her connection to the captain and his first officer, we’ll also see that sometimes the lines between heroes and villains is even thinner than we ever imagined. Firefly has always explored the nuances of the people we choose as family and how we forgive the past without forgetting it. This is the issue where we’ll see just how strong the bond between the crew really is – and discover more about the past that has defined Mal and Zoë.”

Created by Whedon and set 500 years in the future in the wake of a universal civil war, Firefly centers on the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home. Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds, a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the totalitarian governed Alliance, will undertake any job — legal or not — to stay afloat and keep his crew fed. Thrust together by necessity but staying together out of loyalty, these disparate men and women are seeking adventure and the good life, but face constant challenges on the new frontier, such as avoiding capture by the Alliance and evading the dangers you find on the fringes of the universe.

Print copies of FIREFLY #3 will be available for sale on January 16, 2019, exclusively at local comic book shops or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.

Available now, Firefly: Legacy Edition Book One collects previously released Serenity comics for the first time under one cover in a new value-priced format as Mal & the crew ride again in these official sequels to the critically acclaimed Firefly television series and Serenity film.

FIREFLY is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to a world-class group of licensed comic book series and ambitious original series, including Joss Whedon’s Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Planet of the Apes, Abbott, Mech Cadet Yu, Grass Kings, and Klaus.

Stay tuned to Comic Frontline for continuing news on FIREFLY and more from BOOM! Studios!

Season’s Greetings from Doom Manor!  The family will be spending the holidays at home again this year but that won’t stop them from spreading holiday cheer (and a premiere date!). They can’t wait to see you all in the New Year!

The second live-action DC Universe Original Series, Doom Patrol, premieres February 15, 2019, only on DC UNIVERSE.


Doom Patrol is a reimagining of one of DC’s strangest group of outcast Super Heroes which includes: Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor/Negative Man, Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele/Robotman, April Bowlby as Elasti-Woman, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, Joivan Wade as Victor Stone/Cyborg and Timothy Dalton as Dr. Niles Caulder/The Chief.



Members of the Doom Patrol made their first live-action appearance in episode 4 of Titans.  In 2019, Doom Patrol will join the service as the second-live action DC Universe original series with today’s announcement of a premiere date and the release of new character images and the following teaser:


The Titans season 1 finale airs today, Friday, 12/21 making the entire season available to binge watch following the finale.  And if that’s not enough – spend Christmas Eve with the Titans as DC Daily will be bringing members of the cast together on Monday, 12/24 for an exclusive recap of the groundbreaking first season and a look forward to season 2 - you don’t want to miss it!

DOOM PATROL is a re-imagining of one of DC's most beloved groups of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The Doom Patrol's members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities — but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence — and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of TITANS, DOOM PATROL will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.

Based on DC characters originally written and drawn by Arnold Drake, Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani#DCUDOOMPATROL premieres February 15. New episodes weekly, only on DC Universe.

DC Universe is a first-of-its-kind digital experience designed for DC fans. Watch. Read. Shop. Connect.DC Universe is now Live on Amazon Fire TV, as well as other platforms!

Every week the Comic Frontline crew unites to do a LIVE Show through Google Hangouts where we discuss the news and comics of the week and have some fun while doing it! Every year we take a long look back at the year in comics and do an award show to say thank you to all the hard work that goes into making them. From Writers to Artists, to Editors, to Covers, we cover them all! This year we are taking our nominees and sharing some of our thoughts in what makes them the Best Of Comics of 2018!




KAT




1. Brian K. Vaughan (Paper Girls, Saga)

Paper Girls continues to be one of my absolute favoritecomic books, and with every new volume Brian K. Vaughan just keep on raising the bar of perfection. And let's not forget Vaughan's critically acclaimed Saga, which blew my mind with some of gutsiest comic book narrative choices I've seen in a long time.




2. Rainbow Rowell (Runaways)

Rainbow Rowell is not only a brilliant novelist but is also a great comic book writer - a transition not many writers have been able to do as smoothly as Rowell.Runaways have some of the best character work on comic stands as we see our favorite misfit teenagers become their worst enemies (adults).




3. Kelly Thompson (West Coast Avengers/Nancy Drew/Jessica Jones)

Kelly Thompson has worked on multiple titles this year, and even with this heavy workload, all her titles have been consistently great. She explores genres that haven't had enough spotlight in modern comics, like comedy and romance.


BRANT
   
1. Tom King (Batman, Heroes in Crisis)

Tom King is fast becoming one of my favorite writers. His deep, psychological explorations of the characters he writes feel important. He likes to drag things out, but he also has a solid plan for where they are headed.





2. Jody Houser (Faith, Doctor Who the 13th Doctor)

Jody Houser has done tremendous work with Faith, taking a throwaway side character from Harbinger and making her one of the standout new characters in recent memory. It's always fun, the stories are always character driven and showcasing different aspects of Faith. And she has been equally impressive on other titles.




3. Nick Spencer (Amazing Spider-Man)

I can't have a top list without mentioning the man that turned my favorite superhero character around! I haven't always enjoyed everything Spencer has done, but in the Spidey corner of the Marvel Universe, he has proven himself time and time again for me.


CHRIS




1. Tom Waltz (TMNT)
Tom Waltz has consecutively always delivered for me when it comes to TMNT. Not one month comes by I can’t wait to read his next issue, whether he has written it solo or alongside legend and TMNT creator Kevin Eastman.



2. Nick Spencer (The Amazing Spider-Man)
I’ve enjoyed a fair amount of Nick Spencer's writing over the years. It’s on a rare occasion I don’t enjoy a book he is doing. His current run on The Amazing Spider-Man has been really pronominal.



3. Tom King (Batman, Heroes in Crisis)
Tom King is definitely a long game writer. I enjoy the mystery he’s doing with Heroes In Crisis, very little answers and a lot of questions. His Batman run I feel has a really good end game, it’s just going to take awhile for us to get there.

JAY 


1.) Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)

Kyle Higgins is a legend already! Thanks to Higgins and his "Shattered Grid" event in the comics the 25th anniversary of Power Rangers was possibly the biggest year for the franchise since the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers craze. Higgins didn't just write the comic he went way above and beyond making it a multi-media, multi-platform mega event by doing a live-action teaser trailer with Jason David Frank playing Lord Drakkon, and by bringing it to the RPG arena with HyperForce!


2.) Greg Pak (Mech Cadet Yu)

Greg Pak has told some great stories in his career and has many more to come I am sure. He wrote two of my favorite Hulk stories ever "Planet Hulk" and "World War Hulk" which he visited with his creation Amadeus Cho, but for me, his best writing was on full display this year in his creator-owned book, Mech Cadet Yu.


3.) C.S. Pacat (Fence)

I never thought in a million years that a book or anything about Fencing would be one of my favorite things ever and yet here I am loving a comic about it! C.S. Pacat makes you interested in the sport by showing the passion of it through some of the most multi-dimensional characters of 2018. If you can make Fencing cool, and interesting to me that is a major feat and the signs of a great writer.



MIKE SPIDER SLAYER 



1. Donny Cates (Venom, Cosmic Ghost Rider)
Every time I read a book by Donny Cates I'm thoroughly impressed. He continues to do wonderful work over at Marvel whether it's Thanos, Cosmic Ghost Rider or writing Marvel Knights 20th. The Venom series is his best writing to date as he continues to add depth to Eddie Brock and his symbiote.



2. Tom King (Batman, Heroes in Crisis)

Tom King has accomplished to create a Batman with lots of feelings. In a way, we haven't seen before. Then we have Heroes in Crisis, which is a wonderful mystery dealing with superheroes in trauma.




3. Nick Spencer (The Amazing Spider-Man)



Frontline Pick of the Year: Brian K. Vaughan








































































 



JAY



1.) Dafna Pleban (Power Rangers) 

If Mathew Levine was a large part in pulling off Shattered Grid then I have to also hand it to Dafna Pleban who was also a player in bringing the story out of the comics. Bringing the event to HyperForce, the Live-Action Trailer and to Power Morphicon, she was there coordinating with Levine, Kyle Higgins, HyperRPG, Power Morphicon, Melissa Flores, and Jason Bischoff from Saban Brands, Press, and more she deserves a lot of credit for that event. I also want to give Melissa Flores, and Jason Bischoff big shout outs, they are not Editors but they were instrumental in producing this event.



2.) Matthew Levine (Power Rangers)

Power Rangers had its biggest year since maybe 93-95, some may even say bigger and a big part of that has to do with Shattered Grid, an epic event that bridged two series in two time periods in the Rangers history together that also brought in every other period, and it did so without a missed step. That shows the talents of Mathew Levine.



3.) Cameron Chittock (Mech Cadet Yu) 


I thanked Cameron Chittock in my review for Mech Cadet Yu #12 because the series was brilliant. The editing was top-notch and deserves praise.
Frontline Pick of the Year: Chris Rosa (WWE)










Maybe not everybody can relate to Bruce however, you can always wish to be like Bruce Wayne. Come on he's a millionaire and has all those toys. Plus it's a bonus because you're Batman.












Kate Bishop has always been a favorite of mine. She was a sidekick to Clint (kind of), but now she leads her own team. Her trial and error as a team leader was a wonderful choice of direction for her.

























"Flash War" truly made me a fan of Joshua Williamson's run on The Flash. The arc had a lot of WOW moments, especially towards the end, that I hope we get to see continued in 2019.











1. Snotgirl


2. Crowded


3. We Are the Danger















1. Runaways #8

Even if Julie and Karolina's relationship didn't last very long on the printed page. I really appreciate that Rainbow Rowell gave them a satisfying ending. P.S. Kris Anka's design for Julie Power was on point!



2. Ms. Marvel #29

Bruno is back, but he's not the only person to return to Kamala's life - Doc X is back, but this time as a mean girl who's 10x worse than Zoe's old mean girl self. This issue was one of my favorites because it brought the supporting cast back together, and allowed everyone to really shine. I also liked that Zoe pretty much had a crush on her previous self, and by the end it becomes a really strong arc for her.



3. Runaways #12

This is everything I ever wanted in a Nico and Karolina issue with the added bonus of a Gert and Victor romance I never knew I wanted until now. I was especially impressed with how Anka and Rowell tie in Karolina's coming out scene from Runaways Volume 2 to this issue as Nico finally figures out her feelings for Karolina. That kiss will be remembered forever!











Frontline Pick of the Year: MJ and Peter Get Back Together (The Amazing Spider-Man #1






CHRIS



1. Go Go Power Rangers #11 (Ranger Slayer Variant) 




2. Action Comics #1000 (90's Dan Jurgens)



3. Spider-Gwen #1 (Marvel Battle Lines)


JAY


1.) Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #29 (HyperForce Variant)

You thought the GGPR WonderCon Variant was good, and it was, then comes SDCC 2018 and we get this one! Not only do we have the whole team here including the new Green HyperForce Ranger, but they have their helmets off and the way they were shown highlighted their moments and their personalities perfectly!


2.) Saban's Go, Go Power Rangers #8 (HyperForce Variant)

I got into HyperForce big time, it was the Power Rangers series the fans have been waiting for, for years! Then came WonderCon 2018 and we get the ultimate reward a variant cover with the team on it along with the news that they will be a part of Shattered Grid!



3.) Supergirl #19 Artgerm Variant

Artgerm knocked it out of the park all year long, and honestly, we could have filled our individual nominations with nothing but his work and it those places would have earned. But it was this cover that stood out to me because of the beauty and grace displayed and the fact that it managed to capture both Linda Danvers (comics) and Kara In-Ze (Animated Universe) perfectly.













1. Marko's Death (Saga)

As a veteran comic book reader there aren't many things that will truly shock you, but I really didn't see this coming. This is one of the guttiest moves I've seen in a long time from a writer.


2. Kitty Leaves the Altar (X-Men Gold)

A very hot topic in the comic community this year, but I think Kitty did the right thing.



3. Flash Thompson's Death (The Amazing Spider-Man #800)

I truly teared up with this scene.
