Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Captain America #4 (Marvel) – Chip Zdarsky and Valerio Schiti‘s Captain America run continues to explore the grey areas of being an American symbol using its early 2000s setting and (becoming less) clandestine missions in Latveria. There’s lots of punching and action sequences, but the real conflict is Steve Rogers realizing what the true cost of wearing the red, white, and blue is during the “War” on “Terror” with Dave Colton, the replacement Captain America acting as a foil. Seeing Rogers sock Dr. Doom on the jaw like he did to Adolf Hitler decades ago is a triumphant moment, but should it be? I liked the previous issue that dug into the role of Latveria during different World Wars, and how Cap inspired Doom a little better, but the series continues to be solid. Overall: 7.8 Verdict: Buy

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton #5 (DC) – Krypto #5 is a beautiful conclusion to this heartwarming miniseries from Ryan North, Mike Norton, and Ian Herring. This issue brings everything full circle with Krypto landing in Smallville and immediately righting wrongs like the town’s protector, Superboy. Krypto #5 is a contemporary love letter to those classic Silver Age Superboy where the young Man of Steel’s loneliness was assuaged by a dog who was also a refugee from his planet. Watching Krypto save the day and then forging a permanent bond with the Kent family brought tears to my eyes and was just the perfect ending to one of my favorite comics of 2025. North, Norton, and Herring have truly created the definitive Krypto comic, and it’s honestly a comic I would recommend to anyone. (Although, I’d pair it with a box of tissues with the House of El crest.) Overall: 10 Verdict: Buy

Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #4 (Marvel) – Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe continues to be a well-paced, ass kicking good time and still hasn’t worn out its welcome. After fighting the X-Men to a standstill in the previous issue, the King of Monster turns his sights to a Wakandan tech/Pym particles enhanced Hulk for a big damn monster vs monster throwdown. Writer Gerry Duggan keeps the patter to a minimum while letting big panels from artists Javier Garron and Paco Medina and colorist Jesus Aburtov carry the title. I do love the interactions between Hulk and Namor as the misunderstood Defenders/anti-heroes may be the Marvel Universe final hope. Also, let’s just say tokusatsu enthusiasts will love parts of this issue as Godzilla Destroys charges to a megazord conclusion. Overall: 8.8 Verdict: Buy

Adventures of Lumen N #2 (Dark Horse) – In the second installment of The Adventures of Lumen N, James Robinson, Phil Hester, Marc Deering, and Bill Crabtree reveal more information about the mysterious Captain Nemo and his granddaughter as well as setting up the series’ Big Bad. It’s an exposition-heavy issue, but full of fantastical steampunk compositions from Hester and never neglects the family relationship between Lumen and Nemo, who is getting use to relationships again. I love how Robinson re-figures Nemo as a positive, anti-imperialist and environmentalist figure and uses the domestic bits to differentiate him from Alan Moore’s take on the character in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. This issue is the yin to the first issue’s action-heavy yang, and I feel like I care about Lumen and Nemo going into an even more epic battle. Overall: 8.1 Verdict: Buy
