A true wonder for the duck-curious.

Even strips with a questionable understanding of history are, in fact, timeless.

Captain America, Uncle Scrouge, Anthony Bourdain, Robin, and Ultimate Fantastic Four.

Batman and Robin, Casanova, Fourth World, John Byrne's X-Men, and Chip Zdarsky.

World's Finest, Dandadan, superhero team-ups, Cole Degenstein, and Journey to Tomioka.

These stories are more for the academically minded, the completists of X-Men chronology.

That this Marvel Epic Collection exists at all is a wonder.

The early-2000s event train was off and running. Starting with Avengers: Disassembled, running through House of M and Civil War, and on through Fear Itself and beyond, the events weren’t like they wer...

Marsupilami, HATE, Wonder Woman, EC's Extra, and New Avengers.

A remarkable and academic look at a superstar artist.

A truly unique experience handled by fantastic creators.

Chip Zdarsky, Tom King, Evan Dorkin, and more.

Breathes fresh thinking into a character who easily stagnates.

This is a wholly unique, wholly singular book, ready to hook a reader and start a lifelong fandom.

If only we could get this sort of creative play in further sandboxes.

These stories are great, dynamic, and illustrative of a boundless bounty of tales yet to come.

Gotham by Gaslight, Black Widow, Alan Moore, classic Westerns, and the Civil Rights Movement.

Michael DeForge, Dark Knight Returns, Kim Deitch, Punk Rock, and Scrooge's nemeses.

The best way to discover a character whose chief plot points in the films disregard his more intriguing characteristics.

Avengers, Batman, Ariela Kristantina, Marcello Quintanilha, and the Smurfs.

Ties together five disparate Donald Duck tales with an ingenious framing narrative.

Imperial deserved more.

It might feel gimmicky, but it’s compelling enough to demand more adventures.

A standout book from a publisher currently suffering an identity crisis, and it needs to be celebrated.

Fantastic Four, Vertigo horror, Green Lantern, Love & Rockets, and Prince Valiant.

Kelly Thompson takes the reins of Jessica Jones to great results.

Climate Activism, Roberta Gregory, Lobo, Wally Wood, and the X-Men.

Captures the stinging quiet of depression and loneliness in a way that warms us with familiarity.

Roman Muradov, Daredevil, The Demon, Elseworlds, and Micronauts.

Narratively solid and visually impressive, Mouseton Society of Evil fails to reach the heights of some of its recent Disney peers.

Sci-Fi Shorts, Green Arrow, Doctor Doom, Transformers, and Joe Ollmann.

Donald Duck #2 keeps characters alive in the cultural consciousness.

Ghost in the Shell, Gunsmith Cats, Savage Tales, Mickey Mouse, and Shade the Changing Man.

A comic without a chronology, untethered from the ongoing drama of the main book.

With a great deal of care – and a heavy helping of cosmic horror and undead villainy – 'Fear the Reaper' stuns with every issue.

Incredible Hulk reaches a desperate and daunting cliffhanger.

Plays with established continuity and delights with light gags.

A quiet but moving work.

Perfectly bottles the mania inherent to the character.

A fast-paced, if inessential, thrill ride.

Pitch-perfect, engaging, and rife with detail.

Widens the door of the slowly closing market of children's comics, all while preserving the character's great history.

Snafu, Spider-Man, Supergirl, Oldboy, and Justice League Dark.

Still rigid and out-of-time, but playful and bombastic.

Captain America, Misfit City, Nexus, The Traveler, and Kitty Pryde.
