Phil’s Reviews: Stuff I Bought #288

The Wicked and the Divine #5 — Writer: Kieron Gillen; Art: Jamie McKelvie; Colors: Matthew Wilson This is a sharp-looking book — you could cut yourself on McKelvie’s precise, thin lines — and the theme’s about death and art, so it can be grim and gory (particularly so in one scene in this issue), but there’s also a warmth in both the words and the pictures, and a passionate humanity at its core that makes everything work.

She-Hulk #5 — Writer: Charles Soule; Art: Ron Wimberly Captain Marvel #4 — Writer: Kelly Sue Deconnick; Art: David Lopez Lumberjanes #3 — Writers: Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis; Art: Brook Allen Bee and Puppycat #2 — Writers: Natasha Allegri and Garrett Jackson; Art: Natasha Allegri Four comics this week starring women — two superhero and two cartoony/kid-oriented. Superhero first: both of the offerings here stand out because neither emphasizes the adolescent-male-fantasy demographic of, say, DC’s “Bombshell” covers; these are fully-realized characters, not shallow shells.
