The best comics of the week of June 12, 2024
#5: X-Men: Heir of Apocalypse #1

#4: Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age #1
It’ll be hard for anyone who enjoyed Gotham by Gaslight not to like Gotham by Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age #1. Every character genuinely feels like they belong in the same sorrowful world, and the dialogue plays into those very same themes. Issue #1 is essentially two issues already, making it undoubtedly worth the cost, time, and attention. Just as Gotham has always been dark, Gotham by Gaslight always plays on the same Victorian atmosphere brilliantly, and The Kryptonian Age is no exception.

#3: Fantastic Four #21
Fantastic Four is the most consistently good superhero comic on the stands today. Every issue offers something new to think about while the heroes resolve science adventures. Even as a tie-in to a major event, Ryan North proves he’s having a ton of fun pushing this book to new heights, and we’re all better off for it.
