Stealth #1
Even though it's lovely to get the usual antics from familiar characters like Spider-Man or Superman, it can be refreshing to get a unique twist on the familiar superhero concept - and that can definitely be found in Stealth #1.
Costa adds a very human layer to the larger than life world of a superhero, which I really credit him for. He does this by having Tony deal with a very relatable problem, which is a father with Alzheimer's. It's not something I usually see in superhero comics and I commend Costa for it. It's not just casually thrown in or forgotten about, but a significant part of the issue.
He isn't just concerned about his Dad, but also his city, which is falling apart in different ways. Is Stealth the one to save it - or will he only make things worse? The issue isn't lacking for action either, ranging from the hero taking on an armed robber to battling a group of armed men. Bellegarde does a great job illustrating the impact as Stealth lands on the car, along with the cracking of the glass. His art really adds to a lot of moments throughout the issue.
You'll see more on that twist later in the issue, which really is brilliant. Overall, a terrific 1st issue that's well worth a read. Both the writing and art come together very well to make a really good issue, that's well worth a read.
