“Stan Lee: The Man Behind Marvel” is a bright, easy read. It’s engaging, candid and informative; Batchelor does a good job of avoiding any dip into hagiography. Instead, we get a vivid and readable portrait of a man whose decades-ago vision continues to shape mainstream culture in ways he never could have anticipated.

There is something joyful in the way he never fails to find the absurd in the everyday. Nevertheless, you can’t help but notice that Decie, who draws in sketchy shades of grey, renders Steph the most solid figure in his story...

This trilogy opener is ideal for Nimona fans looking to see tried-and-true fantasy tropes get hilariously upended.

A backup story, “The Cursed Wheel,” with art by Moon Knight’s Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire, is a quieter, more precise detective tale that contrasts with the main story both thematically and visually. As Batman collections go, this has it all.

That little rattle of Spanish is ideal. Then, in an instance where Fenske should have kept his clam shut, the final page serves up an ameliorative: the plankton pries open the mussel’s shell and gets the last word: “AHA! I KNEW you could talk!”

With a tried-and-true formula of a not-quite-too-evil leader and lovably bumbling minion, this will undoubtedly appeal to fans of the Despicable Me franchise. A fantastically fun cartoon romp.

It's a testament to Delisle's gifts that we remain so deeply invested in André's situation, seeing and feeling only what he does, that this knowledge never registers; we keep turning pages fearfully, hungrily, plowing on along with him, vibrating in the tension between word and image, terror and hope.

Unfortunately, the artworks in The Electric Sublime don't get much more recent than that; Prince and his illustrators seem to think art stopped evolving sometime around the 1920s.

From horror to humor, dystopia to utopia, saccharin to satire, New World features some amazing talent and enough artistic variation to please graphic novel fans as well as fans of science fiction and fantasy prose.

A group of adorable astronaut cats must venture to the moon to remediate the Earth’s energy crisis...With its appealing blend of cuteness, substance, and humor, this should have readers over the moon.

This book would be better off with a dose of desperation. As it stands, it's a puzzle that's not worth solving.

The denizens of the schoolyard are a gently diverse gang, and though race is never overtly stated outside of naming conventions...A welcome throwback to the way recess should be.

...there are too many pages between moments of action, and missing a birthday treat just doesn’t seem calamitous...Even craft-happy readers will wish for a believable plot, especially one where the good guys and bad guys are more dramatically constructed.

A particularly poignant spread depicts the front door of the house in a wordless series, the angle of the sunlight showing time going by; in the last image the door is opening, and the narrator’s father is home at last. A quiet book that will stay with readers long after they have closed it.

...it’s disappointing to see those characters fueling the narrative nonsense that publishers use to wipe away past mistakes.

The artwork of pencil and charcoal, illuminated with pastels, shifts a little in tone and vision due to the several years Auladell spent drawing it, but this version remains thoroughly satisfying...

...mostly provides a vital and enthralling closer look at those readers have already met as well as unfurling more of the Chinese-inspired city’s past, as colorist Bellaire brings all to stunning emotional life. For all readers fond of the edges of their seats—a penultimate triumph.

She determinedly keeps her characters down-to-earth and her story small — universe-spanning though it is. There's no grandiose escapism here for Boetema or the reader.

It's unclear who's supposed to be speaking (or thinking) this, and it doesn't mesh with the parts of the text hewing narrowly to the report. Despite these weaknesses, The Torture Report remains a deeply necessary book — particularly now...
