Welcome to my third pilot post of Back Issue Review, where I give you the run-down on all the not-new comics I read this week. (Did you miss last week’s edition?)

This week I read very little Marvel and DC, instead focusing on a ton of indie comics series that are easy to pick up with no prior comics background. As it turns out, a pair of the most-popular series fell a bit flat with me, while a few more obscure titles totally blew me away. I even found a new favorite comic book to add to my pull list!

Today’s back issue review includes write-ups on:

• Backways (2017) #1
• Captain Canuck (2015) #4-5
• Dept. H (2016) #1-12
• Eternal Empire (2017) #1-4
• Gasolina (2017) #1-4
• Justice League (2016) #20-21
• Maestros (2017) #1-3
• Mercury Heat (2015) #1-12 & FCBD
• Paper Girls (2015) #6-10
• Super Sons (2017) #1-4
• The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite (2007) #1-6
• Victor LaValle’s Destroyer (2017) #1-6

I’ll tell you now that Maestros and Victor LaValle’s Destroyer are two of the best comics I’ve read from 2017 – they both totally blew me away!

Please let me know if you like this this post – I’m still experimenting with this new weekly series, but there’s no guarantee it will be back for more with you reading it.

And now – let’s get to the comics! [Read more…] about Back Issue Review: Maestros, Super Sons, Umbrella Academy, Victor LaValle’s Destroyer, & more
