DISORDER IN THE COURT! After clashing repeatedly with the nefarious forces deployed by Windler Industries, Sam and Dean Winchester have finally gathered enough evidence to go after its shadowy founder, Steff Windler. But a when the brothers set out to track the sinister CEO down, they wind up driving straight into a trap that Windler has carefully constructed for them! Captured by an uncanny posse of skeletal cowboys, the Winchester boys are hauled before an equally incorporeal judge and put on trial for their very souls. But this is no ordinary demonic kangaroo court — and if Windler can make his case successfully, the hellish verdict handed down will be the very definition of a fate worse than death! Public defenders GREG PAK and EDER MESSIAS close out their first case in Supernatural #5 — backed up by expert testimony from MESSIAS, CLAYTON CRAIN, ALFREDO CARDONA, and a special cast PHOTO!

READING IS DETRIMENTAL — I MEAN, FUNDAMENTAL! The denouement of last issue’s adventure in the woods leads the Winchester Brothers to the local library, which turns out to be more haunted than a graveyard built on top of another graveyard. But after some back-and-forth with the screaming spirits, Sam and Dean are able to ascertain that they’re all mostly harmless, and are really just interested in a quiet afterlife among the stacks.In fact, a quiet library with plenty to read and no one to bother him sounds almost like paradise to Sam — and if Dean’s not careful, he might end up losing his brother forever to the endless shelves between here and the hereafter! Head librarians GREG PAK and EDER MESSIAS man the circulation desk in Supernatural #4 — featuring one-of-a-kind bookplates by MESSIAS, CLAYTON CRAIN, ANDREA BROCCARDO, and a special cast PHOTO cover!

Supernatural #2 is a solid second issue delivering a one and done story

Supernatural #2

Hunting monsters is a rewarding calling, but it doesn’t exactly pay well (or, really, at all). Sam and Dean are just about broke when Dean hits on the idea of raising funds the old-fashioned way — by gambling what little cash they have at a casino. After settling in to see if his brother can manage to lose gracefully, Sam makes a new friend at the bar. Strangely enough, this sympathetic siren seems to have an uncanny ability to change the brothers’ fortunes for the better — or possibly for the very worst! Supernatural #2 is an excellent second issue that again you can pick up and just enjoy on its own.

I’ve never really been into Supernatural. I haven’t watched an episode and can’t think of any comics I had previously read before this series. My only real interaction is just seeing the massive fandom online. So, I went into the first issue of the series knowing very little but came out enjoying it. And now with Supernatural #2, I’m starting to become a fan. Written by Greg Pak, the second issue does what the first does so well, allows you to just pick it up and enjoy it. The comics, so far, have given just enough to understand the story, creating one and done reading experiences that seem so few in comics today. You can pick up the first issue and just enjoy it. You can pick up the second and just enjoy it. You don’t need to know about the tv show, previous issues, or left with a cliffhanger as to what comes next. They’re self-contained issues and that alone makes it stand out.

But, Pak makes sure the comics are fun. The two brothers in Vegas come across some otherworldly shenanigans and get somewhat involved. It all is easy to follow, deals with no mythology, and has the charm of the debut issue. It’s the type of comic you can just enjoy on its own.

The art consists of a team and that isn’t noticeable. Pasquale Qualano, Alessandro Ranaldi, Vincenzo Federici, and Eder Messias all provide art with Ellie Wright on color and Jeff Eckleberry on lettering. It wasn’t until after I read it looking at the credits did I find out four different artists handled the issue. The art is good. The characters look like the actors and the casino they’re in comes off as one without being overcrowded and overdone. It keeps things simple visually.

Supernatural #2 is a fun comic. It keeps things focused and simple, sticking to a straightforward story and not getting distracted by some great mythology. It continues an excellent introduction to these characters and world and slowly making me a fan of it all.

Marvel celebrates 60 Years of T’Challa with the Black Panther Anniversary Special

This February, Marvel pays tribute to one of its most groundbreaking super heroes in Black Panther Anniversary Special #1! The landmark over-sized one-shot celebrates 60 years of T’Challa and Wakanda with brand-new, thrilling stories from a lineup of fan-favorite writers, artists, and those who have helped define Black Panther’s legacy, including writer Christopher Priest!

Here are some of the stories fans can look forward to: 

  • Writer Evan Narcisse and artist George Jeanty bring back former Black Panther, Kasper Cole! In this framing story, join Cole as he searches for Wakanda’s exiled king, learning about some of T’Challa’s never-before-told adventures in the process.
  • Cole also pays a visit to the former Queen of Wakanda in a tale by acclaimed Storm writer Murewa Ayodele and rising star artist Eder Messias. Listen in as Storm shares an intimate memory from her time by T’Challa’s side, when their love was powerful enough to overcome any threat against them!
  • Cody Ziglar joins forces with veteran Black Panther artist Alitha E. Martinez for a Black Panther/Blue Marvel team-up! Dr. Adam Brashear recounts their time together in the Ultimates, and reveals what T’Challa taught him about strength and leadership!
  • Superstar writer Christopher Priest returns to his groundbreaking Black Panther with a surprising encounter T’Challa had with Magneto, set during the time the Master of Magnetism ruled his own African nation, Genosha.

Black Panther’s 60th anniversary coincides with an exciting new status quo for the character. The king of Wakanda is currently trying to unite his kingdom—both on Earth and in the stars—in Black Panther: Intergalactic, a four-issue limited series by Victor La Valle and Stefano Nesi debuting next month. In addition, Black Panther will team up with different heroes throughout February in a new line of variant covers by Marvel’s Stormbreakers. Stay tuned in the weeks ahead for their reveal!

Get ready to hit the road again with Dean and Sam as they prowl the highways and byways of small-town America in search of demonic wrongdoing to put right!

Set between the foundational first and second seasons of the landmark television series, this brand-new title from acclaimed author GREG PAK (Darth Vader, Lilo & Stitch) and preternaturally gifted artist EDER MESSIAS (Sam Wilson: Captain America) brings readers back to where the dark magic first began — and reveals a disturbing new threat that the bickering brothers will have to face before they can return to hunting down the demon who killed their mother.

In this first issue, the monster hunters must uncover the entity responsible for a series of mysterious fires in a decaying rust belt town — attacks that begin with a Windler Industries factory burning down, and then escalate to several Windler employees themselves going up in flames. But finding the malevolent force behind the otherworldly arsons may not be as straightforward as it might seem — especially once the suspiciously well-prepared CEO Steff Windler gets personally involved!

Featuring atmospherically arresting covers from CLAYTON CRAIN, DAVID COUSENS, and EDER MESSIAS, each issue of Supernatural also includes a special PHOTO cover showcasing the beloved cast of the hit show!
