Congratulations: You made it to Friday! One of your rewards, in addition to the weekend, is another edition of Fantastic Five, where we look back at the very best comics of the week! This week, we have an incredibly fun crossover, a couple of great debuts, and two installments in fan-favorite series. Let’s get right to ’em:
#5: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II #2
This comic has everything that fans of both franchises could ask for: Villains teaming up, heroes teaming up, and a shocking ending that leaves us thirsting for more.

#4: Sins of Sinister #1
Sins of Sinister #1 is an entertaining issue that feels like a one-shot thanks to the many event-caliber moments, all of which lead to a mystery cliffhanger to resolve in the tie-in series. Taking big swings, Sins of Sinister doesn’t miss as it delivers big comics moments X-Men and Marvel fans will love. It sparks the imagination and is jam-packed with cool ideas and visuals.

#3: Inferno Girl Red #1
From top to bottom, Inferno Girl Red is a terrific beginning for a new hero in the ever-expanding Massive-Verse. Each panel and page are packed full of personality, fun, and tremendous spectacle. Cássia and the exciting characters around her make Apex City come alive. Thanks to a talented creative team, Inferno Girl Red issue #1 is a true blast and an exciting start for a new superhero.

#2: The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives #2
With its careful balance of childlike frankness, mythological expansion, and escalating terror, Dead Boy Detectives continues the fantastic work of expanding an already expansive narrative masterwork. The work being done, both in this second issue and in the series in general, only adds fine detail to a massive canvas getting stranger and more beautiful with each new installment.

#1: Saga #61
Saga #61 returns after a six-month hiatus, which might be the best issue since the three-year hiatus ended with issue #55. The characters feel aged and hyper-real, the approach of the series continues to interconnect multiple characters, and the plot appears to be heading down a road of huge impact. Saga is exhilarating thanks to a rich cast of characters and the incidents so varied.
