While Marvel and other Indie publishers are not lacking around as well. So the competitions are all around between publishers. At this moment so many great comic books keep releasing every week after week,  It's really a perfect time to be a comic book fan. 

Now let's talk about the very best comic of the week that the fans will definitely enjoy.

MOON KNIGHT: FIST OF KHONSHU

Moon Knight's triumphant return after resurrecting himself from death in Blood Hunt sets the stage for the new groundbreaking ongoing series, Fist of Khonshu. Moon Knight is back, so does his Midnight Mission crew and also the previous creative team behind the story. Moon Knight now as Mr. Knight is back on his mission to protect those who live in his neighbourhood. Fist Of Khonshu #1 opens with Mr Knight entering a club he's not invited in and kicking a ton of thugs ass. There's a surprised character, an investigator from Devil's Reign was present in the club. Mr Knight goes further to the club and finds the club leader who is actually a new drug lord in this town named Achilles Farchild. Mr Knight and this new villain sit together to discuss as Knight tries to solve the problematic thing that happening to the streets. Drugs are affecting to the people of his street and neighbourhood and it has to be stopped. They both talks about their strength and weaknesses and Mr Knight gives Farchild the last warning then leaves the club. Now a new rivalry has begun and the start of a new arc. Dialogues are pretty well written in this comic and art of this book was fantastic from the start to finish. Alessandro Capuccio still delivering the best visual as possible to attract the old and new readers alike. Coloring on this book are visually stunning and one of the best illustrated Marvel book to pick right now.

GREEN LANTERN (ISSUE 16)

Green Lantern #16 by writer Jeremy Adams and artist Xermanico continues the intense action from the Green Lantern Civil Corps Special, delivering part two of this thrilling story arc. This issue ramps up the drama and excitement, providing the payoff fans have been waiting for after the buildup in both the main Green Lantern series and Green Lantern: War Journal. Adams and Xermanico is wasting no time, kicking things off with the aftermath of a planet-sized collision that sets the stage for even bigger threats. With the Green Lanterns regrouping and DC’s “All In” initiative in full swing, how will they handle the looming danger posed by the United Planets under Durlan control?

In the Green Lantern series, we’ve seen Lord Thaaros was gained the ability to control Lanterns and manipulate their powers and colors across the Emotional Spectrum. His use of this power came to a dramatic end of the Civil Corps Special, with a Red Lantern Mogo on the horizon. Green Lantern #16 picks up the pace from there, opening with the shocking destruction of the planet Thanagar. 

The artist Xermanico delivering powerful visuals of lifeless figures drifting in space. Writer Jeremy Adams smartly lets the art speak for itself, avoiding unnecessary narration and allowing readers to feel the weight of the tragedy. As Jeremy Adams and Xermanico show us Guy Gardner’s side mission of helping Lanterns escape and the banter between Guy Gardner & Jo Mullein. Even though Carol is not a Green Lantern, the story about her journey invests in her character, making her worthwhile in this Emotional Spectrum mess. Even Star Shroud, Varron, from Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s War Journal, is shaping nicely to a deadly part of this story. 

War marches on as the Civil Corps battle rages! Thanagar is gone, putting the heroes in quite the spot. 

FLASH GORDON (ISSUE 3)

Writer Jeremy Adams strikes again! What he's doing on his current Green Lantern run is pretty outstanding. He had some great Flash run and made Wally West popular among the fans once again after being wasted over the years. Flash Gordon is a well known classic character from comic that revived in the modern era. Beside his solid work at DC, Jeremy Adams writing this indie comic for Mad Cave Studios and damn! It has been fantastic. Currently one of the hottest indie comic release in this year. Flash Gordon being captured by Alien Warlord where he's forced to fight with other alien prisoners. Gordon smartly fights off against the alien then runs away with their spaceship and the adventure still continues. It’s pretty fun book to read. 

Quite addictive and Will Conrad's art making it one the best illustrated book published from Mad Cave Studios. If you’re getting bored with superhero stuff then this kind of comic is the way to go.

PRAIRIE GODS (ISSUE 2)

One of the best ongoing series came this year from the former Nottingham artist Shane Connery Volk who is writing and illustrating this comic book. Prairie Gods is The Twilight Zone meets Sin City. Each self-contained issue centers on supernatural events and characters in and around the small prairie town of Broadacres. The series will resonate with fans of Hellboy, while the shifting genres and themes will appeal to fans of Westerns, crime, racecar movies, lost treasure serials, and war stories—with a dose of action throughout. Prairie Gods #2 begins with Sheriff Ned Reade receiving a call from the office about a fugitive spotted in the area. Donald Cyrus was spotted passing through Cash City. Sheriff Reade knows he needs to find Cyrus before he gets into the hills. 

Shane Connery Volk steps on the gas with this episodic anthology series by establishing the context, stakes, and pacing in just a few panels. The quick exchange between Sheriff Reade and his dispatch office tells readers everything they need to know and establishes the Sheriff’s knowing attitude about the hills. It has very unique old western storytelling that comic book readers can hardly find right now. Fans who are having superhero fatigue should read something different, something not very superheroic like this.

MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN (ISSUE 25)

The action sequences remain as fast-paced as ever. Cody Ziglar and Federico Vicentini have been putting Miles Morales through banger ever since they boarded Miles Morales: Spider-Man. Miles has found a ferocious new enemy in Rabble, a new boss in Misty Knight and new uses of his electrostatic “Venom Blast” ability – but he’s also been pushed to his limit mentally and physically, with the events of Blood Hunt transforming him into a vampire. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #25 features another major paradigm shift, especially with the guest star appeared. That guest star is none other than the Black Panther, who promises to help Miles with his vampirism. That help comes in the form of an all new suit, which is laced with surprises – including vibranium-infused webbing and a way to regulate Miles’ Venom Blast and travel to a place where Miles’ vampiric curse can be fully lifted. But before that, Miles has to deal with the vengeance of the Vulture. 

I loved Vicentini's design of Miles’ new costume. Not only does it keep the red and black colors that’ve come to define the young web-slinger, but there’s also some design elements, such as markings around the mask, that have an African influence, which is fitting considering who gave him the suit.

NIGHTWING (ISSUE 118)

It all started in 2021 when Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, and Adriano Lucas took on Nightwing. Since then, Nightwing’s world has turned upside down, right-side up, and recently upside down again. He’s faced Blockbuster, a Gotham ruled by The Magistrate during Fearstate, trained Superman, reunited with the Titans, met the infamous Nite-Mite, become a pirate, and helped save Robin during the events of Beast World. But most importantly, he’s adopted a dog and gotten his fancy ‘finger stripes’ back. Well, I liked that part quite a bit. But throughout this entire journey, Dick Grayson has been unable to beat the villain known as Heartless. Once his former bully turned supervillain, Heartless has teamed up with none other than Tony Zucco, who it turns out was never out for John and Mary Grayson. He was after their son. And now, it all comes crashing down in the finale of this infamous era for Nightwing. But does the ending do the character justice? 

For his final issue on Nightwing, Tom Taylor seems to be bringing out his A-game. The final showdown between Nightwing and Heartless feels utterly satisfying. After years of chasing and watching Heartless slink away, it’s nice to see how Taylor wraps things up between the pair. And yet, in the final moments, it’s somewhat shocking to see how things end between the pair. While Dick Grayson has come to a better place thanks to his recent journeys, it’s unexpected to see how Taylor closes the book on Heartless. Not many characters in comics get an ending quite like that these days.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest (ISSUE 32)

In previous issue, not only we saw the return of Eclipso  but also the destruction of the Justice League’s satellite base. Now in this second chapter of Shadows Fall, with the Justice League captured and Batman and Superman being under the control of Eclipso, Mark Waid and Adrian Gutiérrez brings a tale where Robin turns to his allies in the Justice Society. Their mission? Free the Boy Wonder’s mentors of their magical corruption in order to keep the entire world from going dark. The JSA’s presence in this issue is as charming as you could hope, with the emphasis on Waid’s clear favorites—Jay Garrick, the Spectre, and Doctor Fate who all stole the spotlight in their mission to stop the magically tainted World’s Finest and free the Justice League. 

Adrian Gutiérrez instantly becomes the star of the show with his energetic and dynamic art style that complements the fast pace of the narrative. His action sequences blend between Jorge Jimenez and previous series artist Dan Mora that made things feel fresh yet more consistent than most art switches typically do. 

To be fair to say, World’s Finest #32 is yet another visually stunning addition in DC lore, boasting an action-packed team-up narrative that hardly misses a beat. This series continues to be among the most fun superhero comics on the stands 

WOLVERINE (ISSUE 2)

After the end of Benjamin Percy's solid Wolverine run. Marvel goes into a new intiative of X-Men line called "From The Ashes" with the new creative team has come to the board. Writer Saladin Ahmed has gotten the opportunity to write the current Wolverine book and my God he's doing pretty good. By far it's the best book release from current X-Men line. Wolverine #2 shows off Wolverine's personal journey as he's now living the north side of western Canada when he meets the creature of the legend' The Wendigo. Wendigo ferociously tries to attact Wolverine but Wolverine fight back. After Wolverine gaining upper hand against Wendigo, Wendigo tries hard to talk and asking Wolverine for help. Wolverine finds out that Wendigo actually a nothing but a helpless mutant because Department H are hunting him. Now Wolverine have to go through all the odds to save that helpless mutant. Saladin Ahmed is such an underrated writer. Looks like he's trying to do something new with Wolverine. The artist Martin Coccolo giving the best art possible, giving the panel's look more dramatic and detailed. Wolverine #2 is the comic that fans shouldn’t miss.

SPIDER-MAN REIGN 2 (ISSUE 4)

Spider-man comic is having some rough time in years. While the current Amazing Spider-man is the most hated comic right now among the fans and critics alike. It doesn’t mean that all Spider-man comics are bad because Hickman's Ultimate Spider-man run being a banger and now Kaare Kyle Andrews delivering  a solid elseworld type of Spider-man comic called Spider-man Reign. The comic started out pretty well. Spide-man Reign #4 shows up Peter & MJ's heartwarming reunion that can make Spider-Man fans cry. It has dynamic artstyle and actions that can make readers feel what is actually happening. The storyline is pretty simple yet effective. There's definitely a few parts of the plot where it Deux Ex in like a freight train, but it gets a pass for being so much fun with it's remixed Spider-Man future. I'm very excited to read the last upcoming chapter.
