Captain America #14
Writer: Ta-Nehisi Coates
Artists: Niko Walter
Colorist: Matt Milla
Letterer: VC’s Joe Caramagna
Cover Artist: Alex Ross
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Samantha: This arc started with issue #13 and it’s already incredibly tense, but beautifully executed in every aspect. If you haven’t caught up on this run, do it, especially since the second trade is out now! Speaking of which…
Captain America, Volume 2: Captain Of Nothing TP
Writer: Ta-Nehisi Coates
Artist: Adam Kubert
Colorists: Matt Milla & Frank Martin
Letterer: VC’s Joe Caramagna
Cover Artist: Alex Ross
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Samantha: I love this arc — when I caught up on Captain America shortly before issue #12, I found this second arc to be especially cohesive and compelling. Like I said above, if you haven’t caught up on this run, do it!
Fearless #3
Writers: Seanan McGuire, Zoë Quinn & Alyssa Wong
Artists: Claire Roe, Marika Cresta & Alti Firmansyah
Colorists: Rachelle Rosenberg & Irma Kniivila
Letterer: Cardinal Rae

Ghost-Spider #2
Writer: Seanan McGuire
Artist: Takeshi Miyazawa
Colorist: Ian Herring
Letterer: VC’s Clayton Cowles
Cover Artist: Jorge Molina

Letterer: VC’s Clayton Cowles
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Ghost: Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz team up for one more romp with the original New Mutants. The preview for this looked amazing. Come tread down memory lane with us.
Samantha: This is perhaps the only part of Marvel’s 80th anniversary celebration that I’ve been truly excited about, and I’m totally biased, and that’s fine.
The Plot #1
Writers: Tim Daniel & Michael Moreci
Artist: Joshua Hixson
Colorist: Jordan Boyd
Letterer: Jim Campbell
Publisher: Vault Comics
Samantha: Familial tragedy, an ancestral home, and a creepy bog? Sounds like the makings of a truly excellent horror story. I’m so ready to dive into this first issue and scare the crap out of myself.
Powers Of X #5
Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Artists: R.B. Silva & Adriano Di Benedetto
Colorist: Marte Gracia
Letterer: VC’s Clayton Cowles

Ghost: At this point, if you’re not onboard with HOX/POX, you probably won’t be. It’s a brave new world darlings, get used to it.
Samantha: We are racing toward the HOX/POX finish line now! Apocalypse and Krakoa have been reunited, Mister Sinister is sinistering all over, and whatever big revelations this creative team has planned for the last quarter of this arc, it’s sure to be intense and epic.
Queen of Bad Dreams #4
Writer: Danny Lore
Artist: Jordi Pérez
Colorist: Dearbhla Kelly

Artist: Kris Anka
Colorist: Matt Wilson
Letterer: Aditya Bidikar
Publisher: Image Comics
Ghost: If you like high fantasy, hot people, and one heck of a good story, pick up White Trees.
