Here’s what we reviewed in comics this week that you might want to check out:

Killadelphia #2

Killadelphia #2 Cover

But if the gripping story isn’t enough to pull you into this comic, then do it for the art. Will someone please think about the art?! Alexander’s art is dark. It’s detailed. It’s intriguing. It’s horrific. I am not a horror person and terrifying scenes of bloodshed do not do it for me. But I cannot deny beautiful art when I see it.

Daredevil #16

Daredevil #16 Cover

Oh, Daredevil is back! Well, not really. He’s still not using the name, but he DID take on three ninjas.
