  Pick of the Week #1034 – The Rocketeer: Infiltrator! #1 12.07.2026 1j 16min

  It's a dig for gems on a week where there were more comics than we thought. We're constantly weighing the value of nostalgia in comic book properties, and how much it adds to the experience of comic book stories. We reached no conclusion. The secret is always down to the creative team and how good they told that story. Finally, once more, we need to ask forgiveness from the Italian comic book community.
