The Bronze Award Goes To: 
The Spire #8 (June 2016) 
By Simon Spurrier and Jeff Stokely

Proud Stands the Spire!

This month The Spire reached an end. In this 8 issue constrained arrangement a post-whole-world destroying city extends out from the center of a desolate forsake. The Spire is home to both human and numerous non-people living in a class structure based upon the levels of the city. This comic recounts the narrative of strain between the diverse species both all around of the Spire, and also, the delicate understandings which keep the peace.

Past that, this arrangement is really a lumpy, riddle, wrongdoing, police dramatization. Somebody is killing people associated with the illustrious family at an exceptionally unfavorable time. The Pax is this year. An occasion which must happen at regular intervals with a specific end goal to keep the peace. This year peace is by all accounts less certain, and the reason might be attached to the homicides.

I adored the cover workmanship on this arrangement, and the abstract sounded fascinating. However, once I started understanding it my energy to proceed with the arrangement really decreased. The start was a smidgen befuddling, and the workmanship inside is very scrappy, and rather peculiar. In spite of the way that this arrangement wound up being out of my customary range of familiarity I chose to keep perusing. It developed on me, and this last issue was awesome. What an astounding end!
The Silver Award Goes To:
Monstress #6 (May 2016) 
By Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda

The sixth issue of Monstress finishes the primary curve of the story, and keeping in mind that I got some conclusion, honestly, this felt more like a start.

Maika is caught by some to a great degree antiquated ones who intend to slaughter her, if conceivable. They trust that the creature inside her is much excessively unsafe, making it impossible to permit to her to live. Be that as it may, Maika's foes, the adversaries to all beasts, are likewise chasing her, and they may very well wind up on the antiquated ones' doorstep.

This issue dove into Maika's past with her mom, and how she got the beast and the eye on her trunk. We took in where it originates from, and furthermore what it surely is definitely not. As a result of this knowledge the issue was exceptionally fulfilling story savvy, however like I expressed before it felt more like a start than an end. The comic will get again in August 2016 with another curve, and I can't hold up.

The workmanship in this comic is fabulous with staggering utilization of profound hues and inky dark points of interest. The story is exceptionally fascinating, in the event that you are the inquisitive sort. Honestly, I don't know whether I am sincerely put resources into the characters, or just fantastically inquisitive about them and their reality, however whichever way I need to peruse more!
The Gold Award Goes To:
Niobe | She is Life #3 (June 2016)
By Sebastian A. Jones, Amandla Stenberg, & Ashley A. Woods

Three issues into this series and I am hooked.

The craftsmanship is wonderful and the shading bed is both brilliant and delicate. It gives this comic a to a great degree "current" or "cutting edge" feel. Every turn of the page is energizing since you never know when the following one will make you stop and gaze.

Niobe is an outsider among this tribe of Elves, yet she is not alone. The half-orc stands trial for murder, all things considered, he is confronting a deep rooted preference. Niobe is called to follow up for his benefit, to look for equity and truth. She has a high good code, and is amazingly fit. She can likewise feel for the a large portion of orc's position.

I was not anticipating that there should be an affection triangle in this arrangement, however hello, I got one. While I didn't at first feel like this story required any sentiment, looking back I think it bodes well. This is a story about growing up, and experiencing passionate feelings for is a piece of that excursion.

In this issue we additionally got some backstory and some quality time with Niobe's mom. The experiences acquired here truly helped the story to come to fruition.

This arrangement has rapidly turned into my most expected comic for every month. Consummate planning as well, since Monstress will be on a short rest. I want to get significantly more story in the coming issues, as these initial three have evaded to an unbelievably rich world with a lot of history.
