Welcome back to another edition of Fantastic Five, where we look back at the best comics of the week! This week was dominated by the Big Two, with Marvel grabbing three spots to DC’s two. Great week for superhero fans! Let’s take a look at the week’s best books:
#5: The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #6
The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing continues to be a laugh riot of action, intrigue, and excellent Joker writing. The main story does feel like a long-winded way of showing how dangerous west coast Joker is before he heads back to Gotham, but you can’t deny how entertaining it all can be.

#4: Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1
With a relaunched Superman and a new status quo in Action Comics, it’s easy to see a world where Adventures of Superman gets caught in the shadow of DC’s flagships and stands tall among them. Taylor has an ambitious story laid out here with expressive-but-grounded art from Henry and Bellaire, this book is simply a must-read.

#3: Scarlet Witch #3
And the art? Lemme tell ya: Sara Pichelli could hit me with her car and I would apologize to her for having been in her way. Every image she produces is a gift we don’t deserve. God damn…

#2: Fantastic Four #5
In Fantastic Four #5, a road trip is in order for this family, but danger and death are around the corner in ways that you don’t see in any other superhero comic. This series continues to capture the family feel of the team, the eclectic voices, and an endearing quality that’s hard to resist.
