Month in and month out, Geiger continues to be one of the – if not the single best – regular comic books on the market. The quality of all the material coming out from Geoff Johns and company’s Ghost Machine Productions is laudable, but there’s something special about this series. Inventive, intriguing, and packed with twists and turns, it’s tightly written by Johns and beautifully illustrated by Gary Frank.
Like Iron Fist, though, Power Man was a title with a small but loyal following. It enjoyed a run of 32 more issues, good but not enough of one to keep it going, at least not on its own. So following Power Man #49 (February 1977), another issue guest starring Iron Fist, the April 1977 issue arrived as Power Man and Iron Fist #50.
Writer-artist Howard Chaykin’s adaptation of John Benteen’s 1976 western novel Fargo is the first of a proposed series, and if they all have the energy and spirit of this one, it’s going to be a very fun ride.
One of the most clichéd phrases in the history of clichéd phrases is “It doesn’t get any better than this,” but serious, it really doesn’t get much better than Walter Simonson’s cover for Batman #366

NYPD detectives Sam Burke and Maximilian “Twitch” Williams first appeared in Todd McFarlane’s Spawn #1 from Image Comics and immediately became central supporting players in the title character’s world.
With his chalk-white skin, the giant red circle in the middle of his chest, and his nanite-given ability to regenerate, Bloodshot has been one of the most visually iconic characters since his debut in the heady days of Unity and the original Valiant.
First seen in Captain America #117, Sam Wilson was a street-savvy crime fighter on the neighborhood level. The Falcon quickly teamed up with Captain America, and by #134 the cover proclaimed a new title: Captain America & The Falcon, which became the first black and white duo in superhero comics.
About 17 years ago, way before he ever dreamed up his highly enjoyable, crowdfunded Savage Sasquanaut, writer-color artist Wes Hartman teamed up with Gold Digger’s Fred Perry to unleash Sky Sharks. The five-issue adventure was told with a manga-ish flare in a dieselpunk style (like steampunk, but a different level of technology). For all its trappings, though, it was Hartman’s self-professed love letter to Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer.
