Comic Review: SUPERMAN #1 (2018)
Superman’s comics in recent years have been hit-and-miss, but the Man of Steel made a proper comeback in 2016 as part of DC Comics’ Rebirth. Peter J.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP Falls to #2 in its Second Weekend
Ant-Man and The Wasp is now in its second weekend, where it faces off against new competitors Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and Dwayne Johnson’s Skyscraper.

Comic Review: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 (2018)
[Warning: The Following Contains SPOILERS From Amazing Spider-Man #1.] One of Marvel Comics’ flagship titles, The Amazing Spider-Man has been relaunched multiple times in the past few years, with Dan Slott writing for a decade. Well, that changes this year. In addition to yet another #1 relaunch, the series now has a new creative team. Nick Spencer is writing, with Ryan Ottley on artwork. I’l be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve read a Spider-Man comic that actually excited me. Whether it was the Superior Spider-Man arc or depicting Peter Parker as a billionaire, very little in recent comics have captured my interest. Last year’s Peter Parker: The Spectacular…
