The Best Marvel Comics of 2022!

July 10, 2022 by Dave Leave a Comment

I put together the initial looks at DC and Marvel’s best comics of 2022 around the same time, and the biggest thing that stood out to me was DC’s fragmented line of imprints and miniseries made it a lot easier to fill out a list of at least 10 recommended reads. Marvel’s on less solid ground this year, although certainly there are still good to great comics in the lineup. Let’s take a look at the best of the best!

The Best DC Comics of 2022 (So Far!)

June 26, 2022 by Dave Leave a Comment

While the center of the DC Universe is full of deaths of the Justice League and Dark Crises that haven’t ignited the fandom’s enthusiasm, the full scope of DC Comics is quietly having a very good 2022. Between out-of-continuity Black Label projects, and some more off-the-beaten path in-continuity runs and limited series, I had a seriously hard time keeping my picks for favorites of the year to a reasonable number.

Catching up on the best DC has to offer in 2022 is a really good time, and really highlights the publisher’s competitive strengths right now in terms of prestige limited series from top tier comic book creators. [Read more…] about The Best DC Comics of 2022 (So Far!)

Supporting Queer Comics & Creators

June 6, 2022 by Comic Book Herald Staff 1 Comment

In the early days of Comic Book Herald, I’d occasionally get promotional Kickstarter emails teasing a “queer sci-fi saga” (or some such), and I’ll fully admit, I did not understand what sexuality had to do with the promotion. What did the “queerness” of this work have to do with selling me on the story and artistic vision of the comic book?

I’m not a part of the community, and there’s a lot I still don’t understand, but I see now that there’s inherent value in marginalized perspectives in story, and there’s worth in supporting the voices that aim to tell them. So many of my favorite comic books are either directly or indirectly about queer people, relationships, and community, and vast amounts of my favorite comic book creators identify as gay, lesbian, trans, bisexual or other identifiers in the LGBTQIA+ range. The simple reality is that the more queer stories and creators at the forefront of comics, the better variety of new, exciting works we get to enjoy.

The Adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi

May 27, 2022 by Austin Gorton Leave a Comment

Obi-Wan Kenobi, the new Disney+ series, represents the first time the character has been in the cinematic spotlight by himself. But the vast tableau of Star Wars stories across multiple modes of media contains many previous examples in which the wise and cagey Jedi operates on his own. Below is an overview of some of the more notable offerings – both canonical and non-canonical “Legends” – as well as some Obi-Wan Kenobi fun facts, to get you ready for the new live-action series!

The Best Comics To Read With Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness!

April 27, 2022 by Dave Leave a Comment

Since his MCU origin in 2016, Dr. Stephen Strange has held one of the more consistent supporting roles in the Marvel Universe. Benedict Cumbermagic’s Strange plays key roles in Thor Ragnarok, Avengers Infinity War, and of course most recently, Spider-Man: No Way Home. Much like his cameo-laden Marvel Comics counterpart, stories related to multiverse-breaking magic have been held to the fire for *not* including the good Doctor (although certainly in the case of WandaVision, I’d argue it was for the right reasoning).

All of which is to say, Strange’s official movie sequel, Multiverse of Madness, directed by Spider-Man savant Sam Raimi, is central to the larger MCU and where Phase 4 will focus for the remainder through Fantastic Four. The events of Loki on Disney+ revealed the Multiverse is open for business, and there’s a multiverse of Kang the Conquerors going to war for control. “No Way Home’s” forgetting spell gone horribly wrong revealed to Strange this dangerous revelation, and now in Multiverse of Madness, the good Doctor gets to set out in the alternate realities and counter-earths of the MCU.
