Black Science #43 (Image): SFSX #1 began with a bold premise, Harleen #1 was a confectionary treat with a brain, but I'm going with the poignant finale of Black Science. As I said from the start, this was always the best Fantastic Four book being published.

Rome West

“The scope of the work is ambitious and touches upon major themes of revolution, expansion, and memory.”

-Christopher Trinacty, Associate Professor of Classics, Oberlin College

“Wood and Giampaoli took a gamble with Rome West, but I love everything about it. It’s a story I would highly recommend to anyone.”

-Adventures in Poor Taste

“Rome West does what any good alternate history graphic novel is supposed to do, keep you entertained while you go on a voyage through time.”

-Review Fix

“Clever, intriguing, and wildly imaginative without venturing too far outside of the boundaries of established history, accompanied by the astonishing, incredibly life-like art of Andrea Mutti.”

-Mass Movement (UK)

“Rome West is a demanding and inspired concept. The intelligence of the writers is to constantly rely on real history to put into perspective the idea of ​​human recurrence.”
-Regard Critique (France)

“It’s the little conceits, such as an insurgent group centuries later being called the ‘Sons of Columbus,’ that help make this such an engrossing read.”

-Page 45

“Rome West is a brave new world.”

-Comics Bulletin

Sonata #4 (Image): It’s a very close call this week because Silver Surfer: Black was excellent, but a tie goes to the creator owned title in the race that’s been a surprise hit this year; if you like stuff like The Dark Crystal, you should be all over Sonata.

Die #7 (Image): I’m going with Die #7, because the meta-commentary about the act of writing itself is so on point and rich.
