Reading Roundup Wrapup: January 2017

Pick of the month: Shellshocked by Keith Giffen, John Rogers, Cully Hamner, et al. This was a tough choice, between this and The Omega Men, both of which deliver what I want out of superhero comics, but in completely different ways: one is an angsty and funny answer to Spider-Man and forerunner for Ms. Marvel, the other a grim and gritty examination of the tactics of revolutionary/terrorist violence. But Shellshocked made me laugh, so I gave it the edge. I did also very much enjoy Metamorphosis.
