We’re back with another edition of Fantastic Five, where we give props to the five best single-issue comic books of the past week! This week includes some DC and Marvel favorites, but it’s mostly about Image Comics this week: an exciting #1 and new entries in two stellar series give Image the nod three times.
Let’s get into the books!
Nightwing #88
Nightwing #88 is a masterclass in visual ideas you won’t be able to look away from. It’s an action-packed superhero comic filled with intrigue and great character moments, in a realistic setting. Nightwing is a polished and exciting thriller that’s outstanding on almost every level.

Bolero #1
Bolero is a tantalizing new series, taking the multiverse to a relatable human level. Its beauty is in how it makes its characters so real and raw, holding back its clever big fantasy twist to the final few pages. It’s a memorable experience with a mind-blowing hook you won’t want to miss.

‘Bolero’ #1 takes its time to unveil its character and its big sci-fi premise
A Righteous Thirst For Vengeance #4
A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance is an incredible series, and issue #4 is my favorite thus far. There’s still a lot to unpack in terms of character and just what the hell is going on, but that’s the fun of the journey of reading it. A big round of applause to everyone involved with putting this issue together, and I can’t wait for the fifth one.

X Lives of Wolverine #1
X Lives of Wolverine #1 should comfort X-readers unsure of the future of the X-line while also bring in those who felt the X-books eschewed more traditional super-heroics in recent years. It’s an excellent first issue, promising an exciting Wolverine adventure that honors the character’s history while giving him fresh vitality for the X-Men era to come.

Home Sick Pilots #11
If you want some kaiju-sized action, Home Sick Pilots #11 is your best bet this week. Not only that, it establishes the rules as far as these two mecha haunted houses and a missing piece required to help the good guys win.
