Welcome back to another edition of Fantastic Five! Ease into this long Memorial Day weekend by looking back at the books that wowed us the most in the past week – a week dominated by the Big Two, as DC took three spots to Marvel’s two. Let’s take a look at the books!
#5: Unstoppable Doom Patrol #3
Unstoppable Doom Patrol #3 is another great chapter in a series that’s easy to fall in love with. From the endearing main characters to the weird new heroes they’re trying to save, this book feels truly special. Like I’ve said before, can we get this upgraded to an ongoing series?

#4: Fury #1
If you like espionage, spy gadgetry, and stories that show the wide breadth of a hero’s life, pick up Fury #1. It honors the longstanding hero and sets up new villains and a new direction for young Nick Fury to be further explored.

#3: Extreme Venomverse #2
Issue #2 might be even stronger than the first issue in the series, as we get a nice balance of crazy new Venom ideas and some fun connections to Marvel history. While balancing a build-up to a clash with Carnage, Marvel proves creativity and imagination reign supreme in crafting new tantalizing takes on Venom in Extreme Venomverse #2.

#2: Green Arrow #2
Green Arrow #2 continues the momentum of last issue to present another really great issue. As I highlighted heavily last time, I’m a huge Green Arrow fan (my dog is named after the guy for crying out loud), so believe me when I say this is the exact kind of book I’ve been wanting to read for years.
#1: Nightwing #104
Overall, Nightwing #104 is a very fun and enjoyable read that wraps up all loose ends. It’s an example of having team-ups in a character’s main series done right that gives everyone the right amount of spotlight. And of course, it has spectacular art from cover to cover. All in all, this is a can’t-miss issue for Nightwing fans!
