pairing you with your new favourite comic
Al Ewing and Lee Garbett’s Loki: Agent of Asgard is an emotional rollercoaster of laugh out loud delight and painful tears. The successor to Keiron Gillen’s Journey into Mystery, it strikes the same witty tone and heartbreaking core, and throughout it all, it asks the question: can Loki be anything but a villain?
Kieron Gillen’s Journey into Mystery (2011-12) is as funny as it is emotional, heart-wrenching as it is harrowing. Full of wit and bursting with schemes, Gillen writes an iconic and era-defining version of Loki as the fan-named Kid Loki. If you’re a Loki fan, Journey into Mystery is a must.
The politically-charged Captain America: Sam Wilson is an indictment of the American right, while still having fun indulging in superhero wackiness. Sam Wilson is a Black man trying to be a symbol of a nation divided -- specifically one divided on Sam taking up the Captain American mantle and shield. If Falcon and the Winter Soldier didn’t provide enough of Falcon’s turn as Captain America, you’ll love this comic book series.
The 2015-2020 run of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is funny, smart, charming, and most of all, kind. Written by Ryan North with artists Erica Henderson and Derek Charm, the Eisner Award-winning series is an excellent choice for those looking to start reading Marvel comics, or even old hats just looking for a good comic book.
