Welcome back to another edition of Fantastic Five! This time, we have a veritable cornucopia of comics as the five best comics of the week come from four different publishers. Let’s get right to ’em!
#5: Dark Ride #7
It’s all about family drama in Dark Ride #7, which leads to a new threat for Sam alongside the sudden resurfacing of his father. The past and present collide in a strong chapter that utilizes a key flashback and a lot of dysfunction at the dinner table.

#4: The Hunger and the Dusk #1
I adored The Hunger and the Dusk #1. It’s the start of a fantasy series that understands the fantasy tropes we know and love so well, bending them slightly as needed and adding new elements. A series with charm and uniqueness, fans of the quest genre have a new fantasy series to explore.

#3: The Lonesome Hunters: The Wolf Child #1
The Lonesome Hunters: The Wolf Child #1 feels like a new door being opened, not only in the narrative but for fans of Crook’s prodigious catalog of work. It’s a book that demands to be read, that takes the reader and tugs them along to each wonderful new discovery. There’s no doubt that it will earn itself an esteemed place among the major modern fables.

#2: Knight Terrors #1
DC’s summer event, Knight Terrors, continues with a high-octane adventure that will have you worried for the heroes. Deadman gets some excellent moments as he squares up with Insomnia to search for the Dream Stone. This creative team will have you wide awake for their quest to save the day.

#1: World’s Finest: Teen Titans #1
Overall, the first issue of Teen Titans: World’s Finest is a great start to what seems to be the reimagined origin of the current premier team for the DC Universe. The writing is stellar and focuses primarily on building the team from the ground up, which helps make this a great series for new readers to learn about almost the entire Teen Titans bronze age roster. Additionally, the art helps maintain the proper vibe for the issue as it combines retro and a bit of modern art for an enjoyable read. Needless to say, this is a can’t-miss read for both longtime and new Titans fans.
