SUPERWOMAN Shockers

After recovering from Superwoman #1 I realized something: this was the first genuine shock I read in a comic book in a long time. that I didn’t see coming. No leaks. No spoilers. No pre-release hype. Did I miss a press release?
I just read a stunning comic book and felt a genuine surprising gut punch I didn’t see coming. It was wonderful.

(In fact, before you keep reading stop and go get Superwoman #1 from your local comic book shop and come back.)

We live in an age when publishers spill the “shocker” in hopes you will go get the issue to see how it happened. We live in an age of spoilers and leaks hitting social media sites before a reader can even get to the shop. We always believe in giving SPOILER ALERTS even if an issue, movie or episode in out before we continue our discussion just in case.

With Superwoman #1 Phil Jimenez packs more action, emotion, twists and thrills in 20 pages than you often find a a double-sized mega issue. The fan-favorite creator pulls double duty as writer and artist in a premiere issue loaded with doubles. Continue reading SUPERWOMAN Shockers
