We're looking at Westerns today and love Redemption by @christafaust.bsky.social & Mike Deodato. "Creatively violent with a point to make, Redemption is a first class Western".

You wouldn't know it from the title, but in Skating Wilder Brandon Dumais and AJ Dungo present the history of skateboarding coupled with their own experiences. "a book the creators themselves would have worshipped at fourteen" @flyingeyebooks.bsky.social

Can @danslott.bsky.social freshen Superman? On the basis of Superman Unlimited the answer is resoundingly "yes". Good call on unconventional art from Rafael Albuquerque as well. Kryptonite Kingdom is out this week.

Funnily enough, I've just questioned whether Glasgow Council should still be encouraging community councils to have an X account.
Out from 2000AD this week is a new volume of Brink by Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard. We love how it so quietly deals with the earth-shattering, and it's the best volume to date. @2000ad.bsky.social

Very pleased to see it.
Yay! A fourth Agents of S.U.I.T. book out this week, spotlighting Septipus. More hilarity from @johngreenart.bsky.social @drhastings.bsky.social and @patnlewis.bsky.social @01firstsecond.bsky.social "Sides will once again split with laughter across the globe!"

Is it an illustrated book? Is it a graphic novel? What we do know for sure is that it's a treat for children. We love Sunny and Stormy by @sarahhollidayart.bsky.social. @flyingeyebooks.bsky.social

Another Atomic Robo reviewed, and more joy results. The Ghost of Station X is a science-based mystery from Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener.

Today we review all three volumes of The Red Room. Ed Piskor pushes the boundaries of gonzo horror in a series where the ultra-rich pay to see livestreamed murder. Covers are as explicit as the series, so no art this time. @fantagraphics.bsky.social

@Kana's manga list has now translated 5 volumes of Yumeji's Eden of Witches about a young witch finding her way in a world with few animals or plants. It's good-natured, intriguing and well drawn. Start with Volume 1! @abramscomicarts.bsky.social

@denizcamp.bsky.social & @javierrodriguez.bsky.social do a magnificent job re-imagining Martian Manhunter. "a very human story about alienation, and it’s brilliantly unsettling".

Don't know if you're UK based, but we'd recommend stuff from David Fickling Books like Bunny vs. Monkey, Star Cat, Mega Robo Bros and Donut Squad.
We echo that.
We've liked Von Allan's Wolf's Head from the start. It's a well drawn crime drama with a twist and an engaging cast. Nine paperback volumes are now available.

@magneticpress.bsky.social are translating volumes of Mig's fantasy series at a clip and Volume 4 is out this week. We like the imagination, the art and the world building.

Hmm. Not sure a heart is appropriate for that!
"A fun adventure with a likeable cast and plenty of twists". We like Eowulf by @mikecavallaro.bsky.social @01firstsecond.bsky.social

It's been a fair while since this popped up on my feed. Nice to see it again.

We love the cultivated spooky atmosphere of Hillbilly by @eric-powell-comics.bsky.social and it's best seen in the first volume.

Over 40 years since publication. NewYork/Miami remains a standout collection of stories. Individual glimpses at the dissatisfied from Philippe Paringuax while Jacques Loustal's art shifts in style from one vignette to the next.
