Amazing Spider-Man #7 – This latest issue of ASM kicks off a new arc and finally introduces the newest villain, known as “Hellgate,” that finds both characters in an all-out brawl. The fight is captivating for the most part, but it also has a deja-vu feel, as it includes that “been there, done that” element that Spider-Man fans can’t escape (looking at you, Juggernaut and Morlun!). While the Spidey/Hellgate battle delivers the right amount of action, the mystery surrounding Hellgate and his motives remains vague and unresolved, since the battle is just a distraction. Still, this makes the issue an interesting read, especially with a new addition to Spider-Man’s arsenal involving his webbing, which has the silliest names ever (**NO SPOILERS**). Joe Kelly delivers a terrific script, blending action and flashbacks perfectly, setting the stage for what looks to be a wild new arc for Spider-Man. Hopefully, we’ll get more insight into Hellgate.
Captain America # 1 -Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti come together for a new volume of Captain America that effectively blends Silver Age heroics with themes of war and politics. Set shortly after Steve Rogers has been unfrozen, this issue introduces a fresh and innovative chapter for Cap. Zdarsky reinterprets aspects of Cap’s past while maintaining the character’s essence, resulting in a more traditional and optimistic portrayal of Steve Rogers. This version is not only enjoyable but also adds new layers to his history that resonate on a more grounded level. Additionally, a subplot featuring a red-headed soldier eager to serve his country echoes Cap’s origin story, setting the stage for a post-9/11 hero who challenges Cap’s timeless ideologies. This approach is a risky maneuver when exploring Cap’s early days; it could alienate readers. However, thanks to Zdarsky’s compelling writing and Schiti’s strong artwork, it appears to be paying off successfully.
Godzilla vs Thor # 1 – The final installment of the Marvel/Godzilla battles finds the latter, thanks to The Hand reviving his corpse with their brand of dark magic, squaring off against The God of Thunder in an all-out brawl that is one for the ages. Jason Aaron and Aaron Kuder deliver such pulse-pounding action that makes this the best out of the Godzilla vs Marvel sagas and Aaron uses many elements from his past runs on “Thor” and “Avengers” to truly make this a story worth reading over and over and it helps that it serves as a satisfying conclusion to Godzilla’s battles within the Marvel Universe that will be remembered throughout time.
Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit # 1– The Gotham City Sirens, consisting of Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy reunite for a fun heist that involves a pricey artifact known as “The Conduit” that’s being held at an luxurious club in Gotham- only thing is, the Conduit is a living creature owned by a classic DC villain (**NO SPOILERS**); Leah Williams’ script offers the right amount of goofiness and action along with the characterization of the three leads being infectious that has an appealing factor to it while making sure readers can follow this story with ease and can do so without having to rely to read the leads’ main series nor having to read any of the original GCS stories and the unique artwork by Haining brings a manga style that feels innovative while complementing Williams’s script to great heights. It may not be the best out of the GCS, but it is a mesmerizing yet silly enough that, in turn, makes it a summer romp.
Well, that’s it for me. Thanks for sticking around, and I look forward to seeing you all next time.
