Here's a brief look at my latest check-in:
Descender #22 (Image)
Remains a favorite, even if I'm not reading it all the time. The metaphorical knife that was stuck into poor Dr. Quon so brutally early in the series just keeps getting twisted. In a lot of ways, that makes this his story almost more than Tim's...
New Gods Special (DC)
Shane Davis (Superman: Earth One) turns in a thoroughly competent look at Orion. He seems to come off best when he's in the spotlight (Orion, I mean).
Nightwing #26 (DC)
Tim Seeley continues extending Grayson's legacy, and Dick Grayson's legacy in general, bringing back Huntress into the fold. I know fans like to imagine Dick and Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) will one day officially declare a relationship, but between Grayson: Futures End (one of my all-time favorite comics) and the Nightwing/Huntress mini-series from two decades ago...my money's on them.
Revival #43-47 (Image)
Speaking of Seeley, I decided to finally have a look at this, and as it turns out, these are the final issues of the series. While he's working from a familiar playbook (the most famous recent example being The Walking Dead, which you may have heard of), Seeley injects enough into the intricacies of character dynamics that Revival reads as a distinctive piece. I'm sure anyone who'd read the preceding 42 issues will take away a lot more, but it was surprisingly easy to get into, with or without the short recaps inside the front covers.
