This [month] saw the release of Action Double Feature #1, and it’s one
of the most exciting comics I’ve read in a long time. Released digitally
through a dedicated iPad app and a downloadable PDF by Four Star
Studios, ADF is a showcase for its creators to take risks with brand
new concepts and characters, and as the name suggests, it’s split be-
tween two short stories: Jack Kraken, by Hack/Slash’s Tim Seeley
and Ross Campbell, and The Answer by Dennis Hopeless and Mike
Norton, the current artist of DC’s Young Justice.

But it's not just that it's a pair of solid adventure stories by some
fairly well-known creators that makes it so exciting, although it's
certainly got that going for it. What hooked me, though, was that
it reads like someone found a list of everything I want
in a digital comic and did it.

May’s a big month for Marvel, what with the release of Thor and the continuation of Fear Itself, but it’s ultimately Chris Yost, Paco Medina and Dalibor Talajic’s X-Men: First to Last that’s claiming 14 (with 13 images released thus far) of the publisher’s titles for maximum variant coverage from artists Khoi Pham, Chris Stevens, Brandon Peterson, Lee Weeks, David Yardin, Michael Ryan, Patrick Zircher, Greg Tocchini, John Tyler Christopher, David Lopez, Todd Renaud, Mario Alberti and Larry Strohman.
