📖 THE LAST DAY OF H.P. LOVECRAFT (2025) #1 (Ben Stenbeck Variant)
Not spoiling a single thing about this one. Just know it's building to be a horror masterpiece and you owe it to yourself to read it. 10/10.

📖 STARSHIP GODZILLA (2025) #1 (Vitor Cafaggi Variant)
I'm super glad that Tom Sciolli's excellent GODZILLA'S MONSTERPIECE THEATRE (2024-2025) series got me interested in IDW's Godzilla line, because this is a great start to a space exploration sci-fi Godzilla series. 8/10!

📖 SPIDER-MAN NOIR VOLUME 3 (2025) #1 (David Mack Variant)
I've never read any Noir comics before this one, but this was an awesome start for a new volume featuring NSM. Having the backdrop be a mystery only to solve that mystery and set-up the following issues by the end is brilliant. 9/10!

📖 MARVEL/DC: SPIDER-BOY FACSIMILE EDITION (2025) #1
Honestly I just find it funny that this comic takes place in a universe where Marvel and DC characters have swapped places or even combined in many cases, and yet Jonah is still the guy who hates Spider-Man lol. Probably just a 6/10 but very fun!

But these comics have really brought us closer by being able to take our two great loves, comics and tabletop gaming, and bond with them in a unique way. It's our thing we look forward to every month and I'm so happy that we get this chance. Thank you Dark Horse and Critical Role for this chance!!!!

Comics are inherently a somewhat inaccessible art form for blind folks due to the nature of it being reading, but with a reliance on visual art beyond the words. It's a lot harder to make comics accessible compared to, say, film or written literature. And that's not inherently bad, but it does suck.

📖 BATTLEWORLD (2025) #1, Christos Gage (Nick Bradshaw Connecting Wraparound Variant)
I had just completed the original MARVEL SUPER HEROES: SECRET WARS (1984-1985) series before grabbing this one, and while it's definitely not as strong starting off, it's still good and has potential. 7/10!

📖 THE THING VOLUME 4 (2025) #5, Tony Fleecs (Greg Land Variant)
I've loved following along with this miniseries and the finale was everything I hoped for! It was so cool seeing Ben reconnect with his Yancy Street roots and the message for parents with kids who are "different" is sweet. 9/10!

📖 THE TWILIGHT ZONE (2025) #1, Dan Watters (Martin Simmonds Variant)
WHAT AN EXCELLENT ADAPTATION OF THE SHOW! This reboot of the classic series is infinitely captivating and captures that spirit perfectly while using concepts that work so well for the medium of comic books. A must read. 10/10!

📖 ULTIMATE HAWKEYE VOLUME 2 (2025) #1, Deniz Camp (Ejikure Local Comic Shop Day Variant)
Charli Ramsey as 6160's Hawkeye has been one of the breakouts of the current Ultimate Universe for me, and this was a great one shot. The ending is a bit disappointing but still a great read. 8/10!
