February 28s best new comics: Amazing Spider-Man #44, Wolverine #44, Punisher #4 & more (2024)

Gang War’s conclusion, Sabretooth War’s next violent issue, and Marvel’s new take on Punisher villain Jigsaw make up the best comics hitting stands the week of February 28, 2024.

February ends with a bang as Marvel and DC begin laying the foundation for their next big events.

Amazing Spider-Man is finally wrapping up Gang War this week. While a few stray tie-ins are still to come, this week’s book marks the conclusion of the main story. On the flip side, Green Arrow is making his own deal with the devil with Amanda Waller, something which is sure to have repercussions in this summer’s Absolute Power event.

But there’s still work to do before vampires attack in Blood Hunt and Waller takes over in Absolute Power. To get you up to date on all of the goings on, here are this week’s best comics.

The Amazing Spider-Man #44

Gang War has been a hell of a mini-event, tying together various Spider-Man adjacent allies and villains in a tangled web (pun intended) of violence and misery.

With Gang War’s conclusion, the landscape for the Spider-Man titles may be changed forever. Fans eager to see how the stage is set for the upcoming Spider-Men won’t want to miss this one.

GANG WAR CONCLUSION! Madame Masque makes the power move she’s been waiting to make her entire life. This is not going to go the way you think it will!

The Flash #6

The first arc of The Flash draws to a close this week, and the preview pages are already some of the most heartbreaking we’ve seen in the series so far.

Not only does the preview feature a tense reunion between Wally West and Barry Allen, but they also focus more on the depression Linda Park-West is facing. Linda’s role post-childbirth and after losing her powers has been the most interesting idea the book has had, so I’m really hopeful we’ll get some more exploration of what’s going on with her starting with this month’s issue.

THE FIRST ARC OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SERIES CONCLUDES! After the shocking ending of last issue, Wally West’s world has been completely upended—and as he quite literally is putting the pieces together, The Stillness’s attempts to reach out to a higher power are answered. Lace up your boots as the first arc of the critically-acclaimed new era for the Scarlet Speedster concludes!

Punisher #4

Someone other than Frank Castle being The Punisher shouldn’t work, but I’ll be damned if this run hasn’t been great so far. Joe Garrison is different enough from Frank that he stands on his own while still encapsulating what makes The Punisher great.

That appeal is going to be put to the test this month, though, as Joe faces off against a radically different take on classic villain Jigsaw. All signs point to this being Joe’s first real trial as the new Punisher, but fans have to wonder: if Jigsaw is in the picture, can Frank Castle really be that far behind?

WHO IS JIGSAW? Ever since his family was murdered, retired S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Joe Garrison has turned New York City upside down in his bloody search for answers. But now he’s finally put all the pieces together…and what he’s found could lead to all-out war. Alone and outgunned, Joe must push his deadly set of skills to their limit to stop the clandestine terror group known as JIGSAW—but even if he survives, can this all-new Punisher finally come to terms with his role as the Marvel Universe’s most dangerous hero?

Wolverine #44

We’ve been keeping up with Sabretooth War for a while now, but Part 3 may have been the biggest shocker so far. Not only did nobody die, but it actually undid a few apparent deaths.

Expect Sabretooth to compensate by going wild in the other direction as both X-Force, the Exiles, and more converge. And we’re not even halfway through this thing yet!

Duke #3

Joshua Williamson’s surprising Duke series returns, with the titular GI Joe stalwart incarcerated and seemingly forced to make a deal with a figurative devil in order to escape.

The arrival of The Baroness is sure to surprise many, but it was only a matter of time before such a well-known GI Joe villain made themself known in this series.

Batman: The Brave & The Bold #10

With The Winning Card now officially in the rearview (though fans who missed it will get the opportunity to pick it up in trade soon), The Brave & the Bold moves into its next era with a host of exciting new stories.

One such story is the surprise return to Gotham Academy. Once simultaneously one of DC’s most underrated and important ongoing books, Gotham Academy seems to be mostly forgotten in the eyes of many. But will the story, which features Maps Mizogchi, find a way to tie into her appearances in the incredible Birds of Prey run?
