The best comics of the week of March 27, 2024
#5: Batman: The Brave and the Bold #11
What do you know, Batman: The Brave and the Bold #11 is jam-packed with great stories. More importantly, it’s an eclectic mix of tales with superhero stories, but also war and Western thrown in too. It’s a pulpy good time.

#4: Detective Comics #1083
Detective Comics #1083 is another great chapter in an ongoing epic that’ll surely go down as one of the best story arcs in the series ever. The questions of identity, psychology, and what is real are all in question as characters in both the main story and backup story struggle to find truth. This is a masterful psychodrama with twists and turns no one could anticipate.

#2: Ultimate Spider-Man #3
Ultimate Spider-Man #3 is another winning issue. All told the progress in the plot feels slow, yet each scene is expertly crafted and entertaining. Ultimate Spider-Man will reignite your love of Spider-Man with great art in a modern and elevated take on the character.

#1: Power Girl #7
Overall, the issue is well worth a read if not just for the collaboration between Leah Williams and Marguerite Sauvage. The two have a creative synergy that pushes all the right ambitions for the series to the max whether its with their knack for absurdist comedy or their drive to craft a stunning story both visually and literary. As we move into House of Brainiac, the first crossover of the series, we can only hope Sauvage continues to grace the series with her work.
