Dark Horse Comics has announced the Texarcanum, which will be released this summer in July 2025. Monfette wrote with the art of Martos Colors by Patricio Delpeche and the letter from Michael Heisler.”Avery may wear a cowboy hat and drive a pickup to talk to the dry wits of Central American Noir PIs, but he travels through the pockets of culture and folklore that are rarely explored, but through the very definition of this country,” Monfett said. “American fears are too often defined by Western European fears, such as vampires, werewolves, and Victorian ghosts.

As the previous Jean Gray miniseries from the end of the Krakoan era revisit the familiar realm and look backwards to past storylines, I was not exactly keen on the announcement of the new Phoenix Monthly. However, the title charts the fresh grounds of the iconic character, showing that it makes bold moves in the opposite direction. Rather than lingering on Jean’s famous history, the series redefines her role and sends her into an adventure in the unknown universe. The first volume of Phoenix with beautiful art is a visually impressive journey, feeling authentic and innovative, giving this character a…

Reading and reviewing Ultimate Black Panther was sometimes a roller coaster. On the one hand, I love how the comic puts a new spin on the Black Panther mythology, and the creative team of Brian Hill and Stefano Casselli is a great match. Unlike the rest of the Ultimate Line, on the other hand, this book appears to move forward and then stop. Unfortunately, Ultimate Black Panther #14 reminded me of that.First of all, there is a way to uncover the problem. Rather than the magician’s best Iman preparing a “exorcism” for vibranium, he grasps the fact that he was…
