Spider-Man, Absolute Wonder Woman, and the best new comics of the week

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant worlds of comic books, this past week has been nothing short of exhilarating! The latest issue of Ultimate Black Panther (No. 10) brought an electrifying twist that left me on the edge of my seat, much like how Wolverine’s adamantium claws left Magneto hanging from a skyscraper in our favorite X-Men arcade game!

This past month displayed the true power of the Sorcerer Supreme in the Ultimate Universe (Ultimate Black Panther No. 10). West Coast Avengers No. 1 shows that Ultron isn’t evil, but not exactly good either. Round 1 of Black Canary vs Lady Shiva starts in Black Canary: Best of the Best.

Each one was not only intriguing but also top-notch comics, yet the contest for the finest weekly comic books was fierce. Indeed, this week has seen a flurry of exceptional comic book releases, and here are the six standouts that have left a lasting impression on readers.

Amazing Spider-Man No. 62 (pick of the week)

• Writer: Joe Kelly
• Artist: Ed McGuinness

In the initial section of “8 Deaths of Spider-Man“, Peter Parker’s first death was depicted as extraordinarily agonizing. To surpass this, writers Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness chose to emphasize Spider-Man’s intelligence and his swift problem-solving abilities.

This was only the second defeat of the eight scions of Cyttorak’s. Imagine what he’ll do to the rest of them. Considering his next fight is against someone who looks like a demonic eight-year-old, it should be fun and disturbing.

Red Before Black

• Writer: Stephanie Phillips
• Artist: Goran Sudžuka

Boom Studios’ “Red Before Black” introduces the next dynamic duo, and it’s not a shock that they’re bringing this powerhouse team together. Stephanie Phillips, known for her work on “Phoenix” and “Grim”, joins forces with Goran Sudžuka, famed for his work on “Y: The Last Man”.

As an enthusiastic reader, I can’t help but express my excitement over the thrilling journey of Valeria and Leo, two characters who have found themselves in a whirlwind of events. They’ve been forced to take a life in self-defense, swiped a baby alligator from an unsuitable owner, and are currently eluding both the FBI and a ruthless drug lord. But that’s just the surface of this captivating tale.

Uncanny X-Men No. 6

• Writer: Gail Simone
• Artist: Javier Garron

From my perspective as an ardent fan, it wasn’t the action that made this story exceptional; instead, it was the journey of discovering the Outliers (Calico, Deathdream, Ember, Jitter, and Ransom) and witnessing their transformation into the future’s X-Men that truly captivated me. But how did Gail Simone manage to achieve this masterpiece? By portraying them not as mere coincidental mutants united, but as a family bound by shared experiences. And isn’t that quintessentially X-Men?

Initially, Gail Simone’s comic narrative depicted Gambit aiding Becca Simon-Pinette (Calico) in embracing her mutant identity. Once she acknowledged her uniqueness with pride, she could barely contain her joy and repeatedly declared herself as a mutant. Subsequently, when Jitter was being harassed, Ransom and Deathdream intervened to ensure the bully understood not to torment her again.

Absolute Wonder Woman No. 2

• Writer: Kelly Thompson
• Artist: Hayden Sherman

In an alternate universe, Wonder Woman doesn’t rely on Steve Trevor, but his presence remains integral to her legend. Instead of washing up on the shores of Themyscira, Steve finds himself stranded on the Underworld’s coastline. Here, he narrowly escapes being claimed by the Hydra. Given that this is the Absolute Universe, shaped by Darkseid, their meeting under such extraordinary circumstances seems fitting.

It’s fortunate that they crossed paths, or else Wonder Woman might have found herself battling the U.S. military atop another colossal beast. This is because, as usual, those in positions of power, often feeling threatened by a powerful woman who surpasses their abilities, can’t help but feel intimidated.

Superman No. 20

• Writer: Joshua Williamson
• Artist: Dan Mora

Fans of comic books understand that Superman is capable of going toe-to-toe with the toughest opponents, but they’re also conscious of the fact that he often holds back. However, when Doomsday arrives on the scene, there are no more rules to follow. This notion became even stronger when Doomsday tore apart the rehabilitated Parasite, much like Sentry did to Ares in Siege.

This incident triggered an unusually intense anger in Superman, hinting at more to come. After all, it was no secret that his high-intensity states were under observation. So, one might wonder if Supercorp is concerned about the Man of Steel’s self-control slipping.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles No. 4

• Writer: Jason Aaron
• Artist: Chris Burnham

In issue 3 of Jason Aaron’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” Leonardo warns Raphael and Michelangelo that they must reach Donatello before the Foot Clan does. Upon their arrival, they discover two startling sights. Initially, they find that Donnie is self-reliant. Secondly, Donatello appears malnourished, sporting a metal prosthetic shell, and carrying a deceased rat on his shoulder which he mistakenly believes to be their sensei, Splinter. Evidently, the most intelligent among them is showing signs of mental distress. This situation is troubling as New York’s future District Attorney has allied with the Foot Clan and seeks the demise of the Ninja Turtles.
