We're back to recap a great week of comics we read here at GamingTrend.com! This week, we have comics from Dark Horse Comics and Titan Comics

Speed Grapher – Vol. 2

Coming off of an action packed Volume 1, Speed Grapher keeps things high stakes as our heroes are now on the run from a cult of many personalities.

It's almost inconceivable how many people want Tatsumi Saiga dead in general. Now that he's harboring Kagura Tennozu, things are just getting worse for him.

Speed Grapher has so much action, the art style is absolutely stunning, and the characters are a lot of fun, there's not much more to ask for from an action-manga like this one!

FML – Issue #3

What can you do when your son turns into a monster? Nothing but get them to school and try and help them make life feel as normal as it can during the end of the world.

These characters are adorable, and for every wacky situation that comes along, it's followed by heartfelt and emotional moments right after.

One of the most underrated parts of this series is the amount of bonus content we get at the end of the issue, with everything from crossword puzzles to dress up games, and more! This is a great story for young adults and parents alike! FML!

Black Hammer: Spiral City – Issue #4

Every good story needs a good villain, and Black Hammer: Spiral City has a great villain. His mania for destroying the superheroes who saved the world is beyond most villain's I've read with a genre similar to what we have here.

His need for the media to be there to show how strong and powerful he is while looking so foolish and wasting taxpayer dollars is the forefront of his staff's mind, but he's only focused on the mission he feels is most important... destroying the Superheroes credibility and making them a laughingstock.

Black Hammer: Spiral City continues to enthrall me with the colors used between scenes and the storybook versus real life differences.
