Between Dark Knights of Steel and Newburn, this was guaranteed to be a great week in comics. Here’s what GWW’s writers thought about the big books from this week:
Dark Knights of Steel #1
DC Comics
WRITTEN BY: Tom Taylor
ART BY: Yasmie Putri
LETTERS BY: WES ABBOTt
Go in with no expectations, and Tom Taylor weaves a tale that is both mind-blowing and original. Go in with the highest expectations, and you’ll still fall in love with this comic. Dark Knights of Steel #1 is an elseworlds tale that changes the history of some of DC Comics biggest characters. With that change, comes some medieval Knights of Round Table dialogue and a story worth cheering for. — Emmetdavis7 … CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW
Score: 8.2
Newburn #1
Image Comics
Written By: Chip Zdarsky
ART BY: Jacob Phillips
The concept of Newburn alone is brilliant. We’ll get to the execution of it in a bit, but that has to be acknowledged first. Having a private investigator working for all local organized crime syndicates? Love the idea, and there are definitely a few different ways this sort of character could be written. Chip Zdarsky decided to give us a hard-lined ex-cop, whose mind can’t be read by anyone — including the reader since Easton Newburn isn’t narrating this story. — Nick Friar … CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW
Score: 9.3

A THING CALLED TRUTH #1
Image Comics
WRITTEN AND LETTERED BY: IOLANDA ZANFARDINO
ART BY: ELISA ROMBOLI
This new story from Image Comics is a fast and disorienting trip of the most enjoyable kind. A Thing Called Truth is the first of a series planned by the creative team behind Alice In Leatherland. (And yes, I really kept seeing “Wonderland” until about the third time I read that — I’m even more curious now.) I can’t wait to see if A Thing Called Truth will be able to deliver on the promising dilemmas and situations that were set up in this first issue. — TaraLovesNoir … CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW
Score: 8.3

From The Resistance to E-Ratic and Moths, AWA continues to put forth great books that can be enjoyed by a wide range of readers.
