Fantastic Five: The best comics of the week of August 16, 2023

This week was an exceptional one, as three comics received a perfect 10 from our staff!

Welcome back to another edition of Fantastic Five, where we shout out the very best comics of the week! This week was an exceptional one, as three comics received a perfect 10 from our staff! Let’s get right to em!

#5: Uncanny Avengers #1

Fantastic Five: The best comics of the week of August 16, 2023

Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast!

Fans of the X-Men and Avengers will enjoy every second of Uncanny Avengers. It balances character and action with a heroes-at-war angle that suits the dark time Marvel’s mutants are in. This is great adrenaline-charged superhero comics.

#4: The Cull #1

Fantastic Five: The best comics of the week of August 16, 2023

I can already tell that The Cull is going to be a special kind of story, the kind that digs deep into adolescent fears and somehow manages to instill a sense of wonder at the same time.

#3: Daredevil #14

Fantastic Five: The best comics of the week of August 16, 2023

Daredevil #14 is a beautiful ending to a historical run that stands on its own but also intrigues you enough to see what the next team will have to face. Zdarsky, Checchetto, and Wilson deliver an excellent epilogue that will give you hope for the supporting cast of Daredevil.

#2: Knight Terrors: Superman #2

Fantastic Five: The best comics of the week of August 16, 2023

Williamson, Reilly, and Fairburn knock it out of the park with the final installment of Knight Terrors: Superman and sets up the future of The Man of Steel in a strong and interesting way.

#1: Spider-Man #11

Fantastic Five: The best comics of the week of August 16, 2023

The bottom line is, Spider-Boy is a lot of fun and delivers big-time on a classic fun feel comics need more of. Throw in satisfying answers to how Spider-Boy started his superhero adventures, and I’m sure many — especially kiddos — will be on board for more Spider-Boy adventures. If you have any doubts about Spider-Boy, pick up Spider-Man #11, and hopefully, Marvel Legends will get us an action figure by Christmas.
