Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt- Watch, the oversize hardcover collection of Dynamite Comics’ 2019 miniseries, is phenomenal. In five issues, the creative team tells a story that’s both massive and intimate in its scope, at once the story of a hero who realizes he must also be a man, and simultaneously a commentary on the stranglehold the…

Atlantis Attacks #1 is a new Marvel miniseries that follows right on the heels of 2019’s Agents of Atlas #5.

There are many great murder mysteries of course, but one of the reasons Knives Out felt so rejuvenating is that it sidestepped a lot of the conservative political assumptions of the genre.
