Jen Keith recommends Arkham Manor #1
The screams of Batman’s most deranged foes echo off the walls of…Wayne Manor? Arkham Asylum, obliterated after the events of Batman Eternal, needs a new location, and the Wayne family home seems ideal to beleaguered city officials now that Bruce Wayne’s lost his fortune. The ghosts of Bruce’s past haunt the halls with the monsters of his present as the house of his father becomes his house of horrors in Arkham Manor #1.
Gerry Duggan writes beyond BAM and POW action for insights into Bruce Wayne, his history, his father’s history, what these changes mean for the Dark Knight, and how this might help the inmates of Arkham. That look into the human psyche and how Batman relates to Arkham’s most-troubled is one of the most fascinating facets of the character, and I’ve high hopes for this becoming a series just as memorable and engrossing as Arkham Asylum. Indeed, if Arkham Asylum is about Batman and Arkham, then perhaps Arkham Manor is about Bruce Wayne and the asylum. This first issue broaches the topic of the failings of the mental health care system, so it seems a more nuanced exploration of Arkham’s doings is in order as the inmates may find sanctuary and home.
Artist Shawn Crystal delivers with gritty inks and a stylization just on the right side of animated and angular to lend a lot of personality to a familiar cast. Sure, Bruce Wayne is a central character, but so is the house; the architecture of Bruce’s almost cavernous home mixes and distorts into the shadows of Arkham. Between this veering from a more traditional DC house style and that you don’t need to read any other issues to jump into this series (it’s easily summarized in the first few pages), this is a great story for the new, casual, or avid fan.
Both Arkham Manor and the new kid-friendly Gotham Academy prove that 75 years might be a lot of Batman to keep track of, but there is still a vast and twisted playground to explore with this character, his city, and his infamous hoard of villains.

Jen Keith is a Digital Editor at comiXology, comic artist, music addict, and finally figured out a Halloween costume that, coincidentally, has to do with Batman.
possibly the best logan/ororo moment so far
SO. GOOD.
Okay so I gotta set the record straight here… I saw some people online saying that the current run of Deadpool wasn’t very good and THEY ARE SO SO VERY MUCH WRONG!
The story arc from which the above photoset was taken, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, written by Gerry Duggan & Brian Posehn, with art from Declan Shalvey, and colors by Jordie Bellaire, may in fact be the very BEST Deadpool story ever. All the creators are on their A game here, and the story ranges from exciting, to hilarious, to heartbreaking, and back with aplomb.
For people who think Deadpool is nothing more than a walking punchline, read this collection and learn how wrong you are. You’re doing yourself a disservice by avoiding this series because of preconceived notions.
HEY! LISTEN! STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING!
Deadpool vol. 3: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly by gerryduggan, Brian Posehn, dshalv, and jordiecolorsthings just came out on comiXology.
I know there are a lot of Deadpool fans out there and then also a lot of you who think he’s dumb and just is fart and chimichanga jokes, but this arc might be one of the best comics that came out last year.
Deadpool, Wolverine, and Captain America team up when they find out a secret branch of Weapon-X located in North Korea has been stealing their body parts to make clones of them to use for evil. This arc digs into the past of the characters and might be the most emotionally heavy-hitting Deadpool comics ever.
Seriously. I can’t recommend this one enough. The writing is so well balanced, and the team of Shalvey and Bellaire really shines.

Who out there loves this story as much as I do?
It’s finally Friday, and that means that its time for another comiXology guide to one of our favorite comic book characters. This week, we’re dedicated to bringing you the low-down on the man they call “The Merc With a Mouth” - the one and only Deadpool!
Thanks to his tendency to refuse to remain in one universe or timeline for any meaningful length of time, Wade Wilson is definitely one of the more confusing characters in the comic landscape. But this snarky parody of the comic book world is also one of the major reasons that he has become the beloved fan-favorite that he is today. If you feel like you need some help figuring this guy out (you aren’t alone), then read on and take a crash course into degeneracy with…
A comiXology Guide to Deadpool!
You probably already know about Deadpool’s well deserved reputation as a big ol’ jerk and generally insane individual, but where did all of this madness begin? The first appearance of the character was in New Mutants #98, as a character that seemed to have a very striking similarity to a certain DC character known as Deathstroke. Co-creator Fabian Nicieza even went so far as to provide Deadpool with the name “Wade Wilson”, after Deathstroke’s secret identity “Slade Wilson”. Although he changes drastically in the years to come, New Mutants #98 set the stage for the kick-ass character that is Deadpool.
Arguably the best iteration of the modern Deadpool that we all know and love came from his involvement in Rick Remender’s Uncanny X-Force. Although he dons a different costume, Deapool’s antics and sardonic wit are in full force while the he and the rest of the X-Force (a group of mutants recruited to do the dirty work the X-Men wont do) team up to stop Apocalypse by any means necessary.
Fabian Nicieza returned to the character he helped create in a major way with the funny, action-packed, and totally nuts Cable & Deadpool. A series that truly lives up to Deadpool’s reputation, this is a great place to become introduced to the hilarity and insanity that we have come to expect from Wade Wilson.
When Gerry Duggan (gerryduggan) teamed up with comedian Brian Posehn to bring us Deadpool’s current series, they obliterated the notion that Deadpool couldn’t be a strong character without a team to balance him out. This run gives us a bit of a darker take on the character, but doesn’t skip out on the comedic elements that have become Wade Wilson’s trademark. If you want to get caught up with Wade Wilson’s modern life, then this is a great place to start!
