It’s time for another edition of Fantastic Five, where we call out the five best comics of the week! This week, we have two Image Comics series, two DC books and a highly-anticipated Marvel book. Let’s get right to ’em!
Flashpoint Beyond #0
Flashpoint Beyond creates a mystery by presenting a lost world returned. Many questions will cause suspense and wonder. Absorb the art, clues, and Easter eggs as Beyond can be a story link that will tighten up Flashpoint and Doomsday Clock by revisiting and adding depth.

Farmhand #16
Rob Guillory doesn’t miss a beat in Farmhand #16, a refreshing and fun return to Freetown. If you’re looking for a horror comic with some humor thrown in, Farmhand #16 is an excellent place to start.

X-Men ’92: House of XCII #1
All in all, X-Men 92: House of XCII both embraces and weaponizes nostalgia in fascinating ways. The final page will definitely drop some jaws of longtime fans, and I can’t wait to see how this take on the universe develops from here.

‘X-Men ’92: House of XCII’ #1 is gnarly, weaponized nostalgia
King Spawn #9
King Spawn #9 is a good issue that stands alone in some respects as it recaps elements for readers but also keeps it simple with Spawn fighting monsters. King Spawn #9 is a good journey as it turns the whole narrative upside down and ties everything together in its final moments.

‘King Spawn’ #9 forces Albert to look within as he battles monsters
The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country #1
The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country is delectably weird and haunting. It will stick with you, for better or worse if you value your sleep!

‘The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country’ #1 is a haunting affair
