Best comics of the week of October 16, 2024
#5: Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25
Ziggler will be joined by Federico Sabatini in “Family Bitnitz,” a backstory in which Miles meets Deadpool’s daughter Ellie. If you haven’t read Deadpool yet, you’ll probably want to pick it up after this, and for those who have, you’ll want to know how Ziggler writes the Miles and Ellie dynamic, and how Sabatini each You’ll love how it captures both fighting styles. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25 is a big issue full of big changes, and I hope the creative team maintains this energy for another 25 issues.

#3: Nightwing #118
Nightwing #118 was a very strong final issue that concluded Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s tenure with the series, and managed to put the characters in a better position than before.

#2: Summer Shadow #2
If you’re on the fence about Summer Shadows #1, the second problem is a home run. It combines fascinating themes and horror with delicious food. Not since Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula has a horror movie felt so romantic, haunting, and hypnotic.

#1: Batman/Superman: World’s Best #32
World’s Finest #32 is another visually stunning addition to the DC legend, boasting an action-packed team-up story that barely misses a beat. This series continues to be one of the most enjoyable superhero comics on the stands, thanks to the sheer unapologetic explosion that the creators always seem to have in this sandbox of books. And while it’s clear that Wade is focusing on the upcoming Justice League Unlimited series with Dan Mora, looking at the way he uses the characters, World’s Finest is a sister title. There is no doubt that it will continue to be of great value.
