: Star Wars Dark Droids No. 1 (2023) - Charles Soule, Luke Ross, Alex Sinclair

First, it comes for the metal…and then, it comes for everything else. This spin-off is properly chilling, with Soule’s writing setting the foundation for what will almost certainly be a thoroughly horrifying miniseries.

The art is gorgeous and dramatic, eerie and unsettling. Even if you’re like me and not the biggest Star Wars fan in the world, I still recommend this one quite heartily. 4/5 stars.

: The Sacrificers (2023) - Rick Remender, Max Fiumara

Tomorrow is a paradise, eternally peaceful and harmonious- thanks to five families who must sacrifice one of their children every year. This year, a son never loved by his family, yet expected to give everything, and an affluent, rebellious daughter determined to end the unnaturally protracted of the sun’s reign.

Lush and richly colored, this comic draws you in with its incredible composition and interesting characters. This one has minimal exposition, relying on the art and dialogue to convey the story instead. Set to be three issues, this one is definitely worth the read. Plus, holy heck new Rick Remender! 4/5 stars.

Golden Boy: Beethovens Youth by Mikael Ross - I’m racing to finish this book so that I can perhaps name it as my favourite book of 2022. It’s incredible and engaging. With an art and writing style that’s the reminiscent of BD, Kate Beaton and Watterson. Absolutely love it so far.

2nd Book tonight 1065. I’m not much of a Batman guy these days, but Ram V has been writing some great and I’m a sucker for Spurrier anyway. The A and B stories are intersecting in an interesting way, and I like how the frenetic expressiveness of the art in the B story contrasts with Albuquerque’s more immersive take.
