Cat Wyatt Comic Reviews

Jook Joint appears to be an emotionally compelling tale. The fact that the creative team cares so much about taking care of their audience while also telling this story speaks volumes to their sincerity and humanity. Regardless of how long this series ends up running, it seems like it'll be worth keeping an eye on.

Darkhawk: Heart of the Hawk #1 is a powerful and memorable issue. It's a true celebration of the character, telling a story that both he and his loyal fans deserve. This is an issue that raised my fading hope, giving me a reason to believe we'll be seeing more of Darkhawk someday. Hopefully soon.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #1 is perfect for fans who have been lamenting her series loss. And it is especially soothing for those lamenting her loss once again, with the cancellation of West Coast Avengers. Sure, we'll have to deal with that loss all over again when the series concludes. But perhaps we'll get the ending we've been hoping for, or an open-ended opportunity to see her again.

There is plenty to love from Gwenpool Strikes Back #1 - especially for all of the fans out there.

A lot of this series could be interpreted as a commentary on the need to buy comics you love. And there is a certain point to that. The series with lower numbers (IE: Gwen's previous series) get canceled. And while that is a shame, it is also a fact of life. Unfortunately, the cancellation means something much darker for this quirky little lady"

Gwenpoole Strikes Back #2 is full of memorable moments, with the plot and the artwork coming together perfectly.

This issue is giving me hope that we'll see more of Gwen in another series down the line. Perhaps that is merely wishful thinking. Only time will tell.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #3 is an overall brilliant issue, giving fans the best that Gwen has to offer, alongside some dramatic writing and colorful moments.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #4 may be the second to last issue in this miniseries, but that hasn't slowed Gwen down any. If anything, she seems to be upping the ante in regards to her antics. This issue took her quest for relevancy to a whole new level " and the end result was something as fantastic as it was insane.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #4 brought us Gwen at her best, and it is full of insane and quirky moments, as well as some excellent artwork and writing.

It's hard to believe that Gwenpool Strikes Back #5 concludes this series. In many ways, it's so tempting to pretend otherwise. At least this series has given fans a new sense of hope, and a feeling like we'll have a chance to see this amazingly adorable and quirky character again.

Everything came together to bring us the conclusion we deserve in Gwenpool Strikes Back #5.

Blackbird #5 is one of the more intense issues in this series, which is saying something. It's absolutely worth reading if for nothing else than to see the gorgeous artwork and dramatic reveals that occur within its pages.

Blackbird #6 was an intense issue, but it also was everything I had hoped for the conclusion of this plot. Actually, it was quite a bit more than I had hoped for. Everything we were told made complete sense, and we were able to see what Nina was going to do about the truth she learned. It was exactly what we needed to see.

Lady Mechanika: The Monster of the Ministry of Hell #1 is the epitome of the series thus far, delving into Lady Mechanika's past and surfacing all sorts of surprises.

Lady Mechanika: The Monster of the Ministry of Hell #2 is an intense read, supported fully by brilliant artwork, careful character development, and outstanding color choices. All of which combine to make the whole for fans to appreciate.

Middlewest looks like it's going to be one of those series worth following. We've seen so much already, but have very few answers for what is actually happening. The world itself is intriguing and beautiful, perfectly supported by the chosen art style. They drew us in with Middlewest #1, but I strongly suspect the charm of this unique world will keep us coming back issue to issue. If nothing else then our need for answers will certainly do that.

Middlewest #2 held my attention and continued the story in ways I barely hoped to see. It upped the ante with the plot, and maintained the gorgeous art style that we've already come to expect from it.

Middlewest has already earned myfaith in the series. I know that I'll keep coming back to learn more about Abel's quest. I just can't stay my curiosity, nor can I bear to look away from such striking art. Abel's quest is growing into something more; that much, Middlewest #3 has made clear to me. There's so much more going on here than meets the eye. And I don't think Abel has the faintest clue of the part he's playing in all of this. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes, and what answers Abel will be able to attain from his world.

The conclusion of this issue left me anxious for more, which is always a good sign. It isn't exactly a cliffhanger"but it also is, in many ways. It reminded me of how the first issue concluded, actually. So I guess in a way we're already starting to come full circle, just not in a way that Abel expected.

America Chavez: Made in the USA #1 is a fantastic start to this latest series. It's perfect for fans who want to keep reading about her, and perfect for fans that want to learn more about her before she makes her major MCU appearance. No matter the reason, do be sure to check it out!

Die #1 made heavy use of suspense, taking advantage of the fact that we didn't know what was going on. That will likely have to change in future issues, as we learn more about the world the characters have been sent to. It'll be interesting to see how they end up connecting the different storytelling styles.

Die #2 lived up to all the promises that the first issue made. The further the story has gone, the easier it is to understand the fear all of the characters are experiencing. You can start to really understand why they would prefer the dull and broken lives to this one any day of the week.

Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #1 may have been a reprinting, but I found myself just as enthusiastic to read it the second time around. And of course, there's the hope that it will reach new readers this time around.

Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #2 was everything fans could hope for, living up to the expectations from the first issue, and carrying it forward. This is an intense and entertaining series. But it's also not the sort that's taking itself too seriously. Between that and Jessica's snark, you'll find plenty of room for levity in this otherwise dark series.

Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #3 is a highly entertaining read. One that found the balance between anxiety and entertainment, with the end result of a memorable experience.

Jessica Jones: Blind Spot #4 was a dramatic, yet highly entertaining, read. This is one of those issues that upped the ante in every way possible, leaving readers anxious to see what happens next.

Shadecraft #1 is a compelling start to this series. I know that I, personally, am already invested in Zadie's story, and am eager to see how it all plays out from here. It looks like once again Image Comics has gotten their hands on a memorable series.

The new plot has held up to all of my expectations, and then some. I love the mirror dynamics they're introducing. I think it'll make for a strong plot, especially in the long run. Not that I have any clue what is going to happen next. But I'm sure looking forward to finding out!

Vader " Dark Visions #1 surpassed my expectations for a mini-series such as this. The creative team managed to present us with something truly unique. It was an epic tale of Vader, one that allowed us, for the smallest, briefest moment, to believe he was something other than the villain. Of course, that perspective will never hold. But that's what makes it interesting, isn't it?

Captain Marvel: The End is brutally emotional, full of fantastic artwork and compelling writing.

The Mighty Valkyries #1 is an issue to remember, at least for Valkyrie fans (yes, I'm including myself in that list). It was dramatic and intense and clearly set up for another confrontation down the line.

Captain Marvel #1 was a strong start to the new series. It allayed any fears I had about the new creative team and even got me looking forward to all the future issues. I'm curious to see where the newly introduced plot is going to take us.

The tones of this issue were the highlight, without a doubt. It left me wishing that we could almost see Captain Marvel in a dystopian world all the time. That's the mark of a well-done plot and setting, if I may say so. Despite the heavier tones, the issue did manage to squeeze in a few laughs, leaving everything perfectly balanced.

Captain Marvel #2 was another strong issue for the series. The antagonist is a bit on the heavy-handed side, but a) that's totally fine, and b) he's a villain from another series. So you can't even blame this series for him. I think using him here was well done, and goes a long way in furthering the points frequently shown in Captain Marvel series.

I love that this issue brings the past in as well, both with a couple of subtle references, and one major appearance. It's frustrating sometimes to see a series ignore previous events in a character's timeline, so it's refreshing to see them tackling this problem head-on.

Captain Marvel #5 concludes the current plot arc, but thankfully not the series. It was everything I could have asked for out of a conclusion, as it covered everything from wrapping up all the points to laying the groundwork for the next plot.

This issue took a dramatic fight scene, a classic comic trope, and mashed them together for a unique (and at times hilarious) plot. And I sincerely cannot wait to see more about this plot. Or to find out how far the gossip train will spread amongst our heroes.

Captain Marvel #7 was a whirlwind of an issue. It was one of the better tie-in issues I've seen, not just for War of the Realms, but in general. And it was a majorly fun team-up, to boot, so it was a win all around.

Captain Marvel #8 was an intense but interesting read. The intensity makes sense, given that it's following War of the Realms and a strong sense of foreshadowing. It was a strong lead to a new plot"one that'll be interesting to see where it ends up.

"Falling Stars" has been a rollercoaster for many fans, and the tale isn't over yet. We know that there's going to be at least one more issue in this plot, before diving into the one that so many people online have been talking about. (Hint: it involves one of the symbiotes).

Captain Marvel #11 had a little bit of everything in it, along with a brilliant conclusion. I know many fans have been eagerly looking forward to the next plot arc, but I personally enjoyed this one immensely. Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't anxious to find out what happened next...

Captain Marvel #12 was a heavy-hitting issue, one that wasn't afraid to pull punches. Literally. There's a whole lot more going on behind the scenes in this plot, as it's already begun to hint at. And I for one, cannot wait to see what lies ahead.

Captain Marvel #13 had big shoes to fill, thanks to the dramatic and alarming previous issue. And yet it held up to fans' expectations, while also keeping to the promise made. It was intense and brilliant and full of action. And it's going to make for a very memorable issue.

Captain Marvel #14 was another dramatic event in this plot arc, and I honestly couldn't get enough of it. This issue had a little bit of everything, all in the right proportions, and that made for one memorable issue. The conclusion to this issue is making me more than a little bit anxious to see what happens next. But that's not a bad thing. Or that surprising, given how much I've been enjoying "The Last Avenger" to begin with.

Captain Marvel #15 is one of the most dramatic additions to the latest plot arc. That is really saying something, given how enthralling this entire arc has been. I know that I, personally, can't wait to see what will happen next.

Captain Marvel #16 was the dramatic and epic finale to this plot arc fans deserved. It was worth the buildup, and probably then some. Many fans have fallen in love with this version of Carol Danvers, taking into account her stubbornness and determination to save as many lives as possible.

Captain Marvel #17 was the perfect issue to follow the last plot arc in the series. It still threw a serious villain at Captain Marvel (and her friends), while also feeling a bit freer to have some fun. This is likely something that happens to Carol all the time, so it's a delight to see portrayed here.

Captain Marvel #18 somehow found a way to up the ante, all while dealing with a major event from the Marvel Universe. It's the start of something new for Carol, and fans can only begin to guess how it's all going to play out.

Captain Marvel #19 was the perfect blend of plot and event tie-in. The adventure that Carol is on is not one we expected, but it's been brilliant, nonetheless. The war is affecting her life, as it's affecting everyone else. Yet she might be gaining something in the process"assuming that things aren't about to go horribly wrong (fingers crossed).

Captain Marvel #20 carries forward so many different elements, all of which flawlessly work together to create something grand and exciting. This is by far one of the best tie-in arcs seen in quite some time, providing lots of fun and character development all at once.

Captain Marvel #22 is the start of a new plot arc for Carol, and yet it is one that feels familiar. Connected to Captain Marvel: The End, this plot is going to give fans a chance to finally get some answers, all while leaving room for hope"and concern. Only time will tell how Carol is going to resolve the current situation she's found herself in.

Captain Marvel #23 is an intense, yet enthralling read. It gives us a glimpse into a dark and twisted future. It's a future that readers can't help but hope will be avoided"even while we desperately devour all the little details provided.

Captain Marvel #24 is a thrilling read, with more than one mic-drop worth talking about among fans. The ending alone is enough to have me counting down the days until the next issue, all while thinking about the revelations that have already occurred.

Captain Marvel #25 is another impressive addition to Captain Marvel's career. I know that I can't be the only fan (well, fangirl, and no shame in it) that's ecstatic to see that final page for this issue. Now to see where it all leads.

In many ways, I am sad that Captain Marvel #26 brings a wrap to this plot arc. Still, it's impossible not to be extremely curious about where things will go from here. As the saying goes, when one door closes, another one opens.

I've been looking forward to Captain Marvel #27 ever since I saw the cover (and those variant covers! Swoon), and it did not let down. It was entertaining, human, and exasperating all in one, and made it the perfect issue to follow such an intense plot arc.

Captain Marvel: Braver & Mightier #1 is a solid introduction to a new series. It looks like they're going to be focusing on the more human elements in Captain Marvel, while also trying to push her to even higher heights. Sounds about perfect for her character, doesn't it?

Having read Valkyrie #1, I can see why they built up so much for it. This has been a long journey for Jane Foster. And a long journey for her fans, too, for that matter. But it has been a blast. I think that this series is the perfect follow-up for any fans of the Goddess of Thunder.

Jane Foster's tale has never shied away from the emotional and dramatic side of storytelling. Yet Valkyrie #2 is surprising in the amount of emotional depth and loss portrayed within the pages. It is not an issue fans will want to miss.

This series has been everything I had hoped for, and so much more. I'm not afraid to confess my hopes that the series will continue for some time yet.

Valkyrie #4 was a dramatic issue, quickly and effortlessly establishing a new threat and plot for Jane Foster. And it wasn't afraid to put other characters in the line of fire in order to increase the emotional investment of its readers.

Valkyrie #5 was a brilliant addition to Jane's tale. I love where they're taking her series. It's been an intense and fascinating ride so far, and here's hoping it doesn't end anytime soon. This issue had the perfect balance of heavy and humor, which is really essential for this type of story.

Valkyrie #6 begins a new plot for Jane Foster, "Strange Aeons". And that's an accurate name if ever I've heard one. This is a dramatic issue, from start to finish, and it's going to leave readers eager to get their hands on the next issue. The cameos and guest artists were all nice surprises, and that helped to bring this issue to new heights. One character's appearance, in particular, will likely make fans want to catch up with his series (or feel smug for already having done so).

Valkyrie #7 was a brilliant issue, telling a story to do both Jane Foster and Valkyrie justice. This is the sort of plot fans have been hoping for, and it did not disappoint. While I have zero complaints about this series continuing, I could have been happy, had this been the conclusion. And I feel like that's saying something.

Valkyrie #8 was an intriguing start to a brand new plot arc. This new threat is different, yet fits in perfectly with Valkyrie's wheelhouse. The fact that it has pulled other characters into the fray is a bonus in my book. And I personally can't wait to see where it'll lead.

Valkyrie #9 was an enthralling issue, one that leaves us concerned for what is to come. In that sense, it is perfect for Jane Foster's story. After all, her series has consistently pushed the boundaries of creative storytelling. It'll be fascinating to see how far this particular plot goes, especially considering the other characters affected by what is occurring.

Valkyrie #10 is the highlight of the series so far, proving to fans what sort of story we can expect from Jane Foster from now on. I'm looking forward to seeing all of the changes and challenges she faces going forward, especially in response to what has been set up here.

These Savage Shores #1 was an immediately entertaining and enthralling read. I'm lucky to have the second issue waiting here for me to read, as I don't think I'd like to wait for it to come out. I was captivated by the telling from the start. The clashing cultures and beings combined with the time period left a sense of what was to come, as well as an overwhelming feeling of foreboding.

The sense of foreboding did somewhat diminish between the first issue and the second, but it was replaced with something longer lasting. Instead, I'm finding myself inquisitive about the world and the way in which different entities interact with this world. There are a lot of things to love about this series. The tone and voice, the supernatural elements, the art style, the politics and motivations of the humans, the abilities and histories of the creatures, together they make one cohesive and fascinating realm.

These Savage Shores #3 was everything I could have hoped for, and then some. I know that I was very surprised by the conclusion of this issue. I honestly believe that's a good thing. The best series are the unpredictable ones.

West Coast Avengers #8 did a great job of balancing the humor and the plot. It set up for a longer-running plot (being at minimum two issues long), and also reminded us why some of these characters are a part of the team, despite their"distractions at times. This series has consistently amused me; it's funny but it also isn't shallow. There's always an actual plot to be had, even if it doesn't take itself too seriously. It's the perfect escape, and honestly is a nice change of pace from some of the more serious series out there.

For the second-to-last issue, I'd say they're leading up to one heck of a goodbye. It's really perfect, when you look at it that way. Though obviously I'd prefer the series to stick around longer.

There was a lot to love about this series, so I am honestly really upset to see it end (as made obvious by the fact that I've said that at least three times in this review). It was fun and different, plus it brought one of my favorite characters back to the brightly-colored pages. There's a lot that I'll remember from this series, and a lot to be grateful for as well. Like the creation of a new ship, which ultimately became one of my favorites (which was totally unexpected). Quinpool for life!

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #1 is off to a strong start, based on this one issue. It looks like Marvel made the right call with pulling Seanan McGuire into the mix; it seems that she's managed to revitalize the character and her world.

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider is proving to be a really fun and interesting read. Thanks to the combined efforts of the creative team her character is slowly evolving into something new. They're covering the changes well though; having it all be a quest where Gwen is trying to find herself.

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #4 is without a doubt one of the harder hitting issues I've read in quite some time. Yet I don't regret reading it. It gave me the sense of closure I craved from Spider-Geddon, while also making the events feel more important and real by adding weight and permanence to them. It was heartbreaking to see, yes, but it was so worth it and was a poignant reminder for the humanity behind our favorite masked heroes.

After everything that has been happening in Gwen's life, I really do think that she earned a bit of a break. This series has gone a long way in reminding us that she's human, and any human has a breaking point. It's nice to see Gwen come down for a bit and try to get a balance going in her life.

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #6 is a fun issue, but it also took the time to establish multiple new plots. It also reminds us, once again, that Gwen is human and she's already juggling more than any one of could easily on our own. It's only a matter of time before it all comes down " or before a villain realizes how he could take advantage of the situation.

I'm still concerned that there is going to be an increased risk with Gwen's new attempt, but I also think it'll be worth it. And obviously, if that is the case, it'll also lead to a fantastic and hopefully detailed fight sequence.

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #8 was an interesting read, as it took some events that have been building up for the last few issues. It let that buildup explode into something larger, and hopefully, it'll be a longer-running plot. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plot is going to progress. And I promise that I'm only partially saying that because of the cliffhanger-esque ending here. The series could use an explosive plot, now that we've had time to recover from the last major event Gwen was in.

The highlight of this issue, for me, was seeing Gwen deal with this problem in her own unique way. Nobody could have done what she did. At least, not the way she did it. And she did it all while dealing with some intense emotions. It just goes to remind us that our heroes have to deal with a lot, and still get the job done.

Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider #10 was a fun and well-balanced issue. There were some serious tones, of course. But on the whole, the issue was overwhelmingly, and beautifully, heartwarming. Seeing Gwen keep on fighting is inspiring.

Bone Parish #9 managed to up the ante in ways that I did not expect. They're turning the plot inward, but it's making everything significantly more complex. The end result is a fascinating plot that has plenty of room for exploding " and I'm sure I'm not the only one looking forward to that moment.

I'm still loving the tones of the series. And while this issue was slightly more graphic than the last couple, it didn't hit that point of being overly gory. It's a tough balance, and one that I respect. And of course, now I'm looking forward to seeing what the fallout will be in the next issue.

Bone Parish #11 did a brilliant job of moving the plot forward. It's begun to weave all of the plot lines back in together, surely setting up for a very dramatic conclusion to the series. I still have questions, and I sincerely have no idea what is going to happen before it ends. And I couldn't be more excited to see what happens.

Bone Parish #12 was an ideal conclusion to a dark and disturbing tale. Wrapping in the cycle of life and death was a good choice. It added a cyclical concept to the plot, both supporting the arc and hinting towards something else along the way.

Vampire: The Masquerade #1 is admittedly something I've been looking forward to ever since I first heard the news. Yet I can say with sincere honesty that it lived up to my expectations, all while drawing me in and leaving me eager to see how both plots progress in the future.

Vampire the Masquerade #2 is everything that this fan had been hoping for. It pulled in all the themes and much of the lore, all while weaving together two new stories.

Vampire The Masquerade: Winter's Teeth #3 is a dark and harrowing experience, as intended. It shows two different sides of the vampire underworld. And it does so to wonderful effect, all while setting up for larger events down the line.

Vampire the Masquerade: Winter's Teeth #5 may wrap up this current plot and series, but the World of Darkness will always live on. Hopefully, so do these characters and the events that they have found themselves tangled up in.

It's so exciting to see Doctor Mirage getting her own series again. And Doctor Mirage #1 certainly starts the series off with a bang. The twists in the first issue alone are enough to get readers coming back for more. I'm looking forward to seeing how this series will progress.

Doctor Mirage #2 read completely differently from the first issue, but that's not a bad thing. The clever artwork and storytelling style allowed us to learn even more about the situation Mirage is in. Though it has perhaps left us with even more questions to be answered.

Doctor Mirage #3 was a surreal masterpiece. The artwork and the plot combined to leave the reader unsure of the truth. And the end result was something luminous and vibrant. I already can't wait to get my hands on the next issue, and I know I'm not going to be alone in feeling that way.

Doctor Mirage #4 was a terrifying, moving, and powerful issue. It upped the ante, putting Doctor Mirage into even greater risks, all while slowly revealing the truth of the world she is trapped in. It's been a whirlwind of an adventure, and there is still more left to this tale.

Doctor Mirage #5 was a breathtaking read. As with any series conclusion, it had a strong bittersweet sense to it. But it also fulfilled the promises that have been made during the entire arc. It may have left fans with many questions. But it also left one single, vitally important promise. That promise? Doctor Mirage will be back.

Deadpool #1 is a fast-paced and action-packed first issue to Deadpool's latest series. It brings with it a few surprises, in the form of walk-on characters. But it also has plenty of memorable new monsters to showcase, and in general, simply has a lot of fun being exactly what it is.

Deadpool #2 was a surprising mix of events and emotions, but the end result was something new and yet so utterly Deadpool. The decision to add new characters (mostly cameos from other series) was an excellent call, as Deadpool is at his best when he has people to interact with.

Deadpool #3 was a surprising issue, one that pitted Deadpool against a classic antagonist, but with unexpected results. It's so easy to assume that, because Deadpool is hard to kill, he'll win every fight. This whole plot has been a strong reminder of the challenges he can still face.

Deadpool #4 was every bit as chaotic and entertaining as I was hoping. But more than that, it added weight and import to everything that Deadpool and the monsters have gone through up to this point. It gives us hope for what can potentially follow, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing that.

Deadpool #5 was not the issue I was expecting it to be " it was so much better. This issue mixed emotions and tones in a way that only Deadpool is capable of, creating a reading experience with a message hidden within. It's exactly what the fans deserved and needed right now.

Deadpool #6 is a busy issue, but not in a bad way. There's plenty of elements for a variety of fans to enjoy, from the action to the drama, and so much more. It's an issue that quickly bounces between intense and fun, showing off some impressive writing skills.

Deadpool #7 is an action and chaos-fueled addition to Deadpool's series, but in the best of ways. Along with plenty of battles and banter, there's still room for drama and surprises. That final revelation at the end of this issue is going to leave readers eagerly waiting for Deadpool #8.

Deadpool #8 is a surprising issue, full of action and so much more. It's the "more" that is surprising, in this case. Deadpool is being pushed to all-new levels in this plot arc, and that is starting to show.

Deadpool #9 is another frantic and fun issue about the merc with a mouth. This is an issue that has a little bit of everything " action, drama, romance, Jeff, comedy, and more. It makes for a great and memorable lead. All while setting up for whatever adventure is going to be next.

Deadpool #10 is, without a doubt, one of the most hilarious crossover issues I have ever read. I'd like to think that is saying something, and hope that other fans feel the same way about it. This was one fun and chaotic mess, meant in all the best possible ways.

It's certainly something that's going to leave an impact on the event and its readers, and it's not going to be forgotten easily. Regardless of what-ifs, this what-if in its own only opens another door to an even darker place.

As for the artwork, I'm in love. That's all I can say. It's visually striking, the covers are been superb so far, as have the color palettes and design choices. I enjoyed seeing how her powers were portrayed; for example, the moment when she transitioned from human (well, vampire) to shark, it was well done. While it reminded me of an Animorph cover, it didn't read as being nearly that hokey.

Like the past couple of issues, I absolutely love this cover. It's stunning, to say the least. Having her representing in a glowing bright white while the lions are white dipped in red makes for a striking image. The blue background both complements and contrasts it all perfectly. I also approve of the artists' choice to represent the end of the world vision in hues of not just red, but purple. It helps make it stand out from all of the other apocalyptic representations out there. Plus it shows us rather than telling us that the sun has been blocked from reaching the earth (while having a blocked out sun may sound like the vampiric dream, one must consider the cost).

The artwork for this series has been simply stunning, and this issue is no exception. As usual, the cover is my favorite - the bright gold chain and the deep purple background are a very striking combination. Though I'll confess when I first saw a thumbnail for this issue, I thought she was holding a spear or light or something in her hands. Samael is well designed too; he's large and intimidating, but I'm happy they chose to have him be calm and poised rather than feral. It actually makes him scarier, in my opinion.

The cover for this issue is stunning as always. I don't think the chosen image is as strong as some of the others, but the color palette is striking (and complements the bomb in the background, so bonus). The artwork inside is equally striking, though obviously some pages more than others. The magical shield Valla used was beautiful (and apparently pretty effective), and as much as I hate to say it " the distant images of the bomb were very pretty as well. Especially the out of orbit images. The final panel had the best still image, which is the perfect way to end things before a break.

The Immortal She-Hulk #1 is a brilliant issue, diving into the backstory of one character, pulling out all of the emotions possible, and supporting it with marvelous artwork.

The Silver Coin #1 is an excellent first issue for this anthology. It's dark and twisted and hits on all the right tones. The artwork complements the story perfectly, raising the tension alongside the narrative.

The Silver Coin #2 is a perfect combination of horror elements, creating something new and interesting. It's shocking how quickly this story began to resonate, as the story and artwork pull the reader forward.

It's great to see this series going again. And while this issue didn't end on a cliffhanger, I really am looking forward to seeing the next issue. I can't wait to see what sort of mess Charlie gets into next!

Crowded has been a whirlwind of a series, one that keeps taking these crazy twists and turns. And while it didn't slow down in issue eight, it did stop and take a look at some other vital elements of the series. It'll be interesting to see where this goes, in the long run.

This series is clearly getting ready to put our team on the offensive, and that means that things are about to get crazier than ever. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Crowded #10 was a bit of a diversion from the main plot. And yet it built up so much, proving that there are a whole lot more fans need to learn in this series. It also went a long way in pushing forward character development, all while building the tension. I can't wait to see what the next issue has in store, given everything that has been happening.

Crowded #11 was a dynamic and charming read, one that pitted our two leading characters against one another, all while forcing them very far out of their element. The twists and turns in this series have been both highly engaging and unpredictable"and worth checking out. I personally can't wait to see what happens next.

Crowded #12 was a fantastic and highly entertaining reading experience. It kept me on the edge of my seat while reading, and I sincerely hope that I'm not the only one. It was full of drama and tension, naturally. But it also went a long way in reminding us of the humanity and past of the characters we've come to love. And don't forget all of that foreshadowing dropped at the end of the issue!

Black Widow #1 is full of creative writing, character development, surprising twists, and absolutely perfect artwork. Altogether, it does the character (and her fans) justice.

Black Widow #2 is a carefully written issue, and it shows. It's rich and intense, full of subtext and creativity. Throw in the bold artwork, and that makes for a fantastic read.

Black Widow #3 is groundbreaking and adventurous, taking risks and having fun all at the same time. Combined with some striking artwork, it's making for one truly memorable series.

Black Widow #5 is an intense and thrilling issue, one that portrays Natasha Romanoff as the human she is, with raw emotions spilling out of the pages. Meanwhile, the artwork does an excellent job of portraying that tension, and all the fights surrounding it.

Black Widow #6 is a dramatic beginning to a new plot arc, one that is already proving to be as intriguing as it is intense. The artwork for this issue is breathtaking and works very hard to steal the show on more than one occasion.

Quantum & Woody #1 is as entertaining as it is chaotic, and is full of vibrant artwork and comical little moments.

Quantum & Woody #3 is a visually stunning piece of work, completed by the entertaining dialogue and dramatic revelations.

Quantum & Woody #4 is the conclusion fans deserve, one that is full of chaos and vibrant images worth diving into.

This was a fantastic issue. I love that ninety percent of the issue is nonverbal and told solely through imagery and hand gestures. It shows how much thought the creative team put into the story, and it really elevates the whole thing to a new level. Even without words we can tell that the sailor was upset, that the mermaid was lonely, and that neither of them truly understood the other or the pain they were feeling. That Luv was able to understand both of them (and not judge either for their actions) speaks volumes to her character.

If you're only going to read part of this issue, then please make sure it is the part that reveals Luv's backstory. Not only is it beautifully told but the artwork for this scene was particularly striking. The color palette alone was stunning. Luv is beautiful deep red while her gold hoard is a brilliant yellow, setting up the perfect contrast right from the get go. From there the colors shift to complement the tale being told in perfect harmony.

It's still painful to think of this series ending, but at least it got twelve solid issues out before the end. That's pretty good, especially for an indie series. Here's hoping we see the series get revived in some way or form, but if not it'd be nice to see what else the creative team can come up with.

Wasted Space #9 was one of the more dramatic issues in the series so far, but since it concludes a major plot that makes sense. It was an intense read, one that elicited emotional reactions, one of which being shock. Despite that (and possibly because of) it was still absolutely worth reading.

Wasted Space #10 was the exact sort of follow-up I had been hoping for"and so much more. It's amazing how quickly this series sucked me in. But now I'm desperately waiting for the next issue to reveal more.

Wasted Space #11 was an issue absolutely worth the wait. Though it has, admittedly, made me a bit anxious to get my hands on the next issue (come on, Wasted Space #12!) But that should speak to how much fun this issue was to read.

Wasted Space #11 is a tumultuous read, one that fans of the series are not going to want to miss out on.

Wasted Space #12 was as brilliant as it was intense. It was somewhat shocking to see this plot, following the events of the previous issue. But, in a way, it also feels right. This was a moment a long time coming, and the creative team did justice to it.

Wasted Space #13 is a visually and emotionally stunning read, forcing the characters to be brutally honest in a surprising twist.

Last Witch #1 is an enchanting beginning to Saorise's story, one that is full of daring characters, creative storytelling devices, and magnificent artwork.

The Last Witch #2 takes a dark, but not unexpected turn, as Saoirse learns of the witches that hide in the shadows, and of the weight she carries within her. It's a harrowing yet fascinating read, one that promises to take the story to new heights in future issues.

The Last Witch #3 is a thrilling addition to this issue, one that portrays yet another deadly battle, as well as the fierce determination that can live within us all. The artwork carries this story so much farther, creating iconic and human scenes all at once.

The Last Witch #4 is a compelling issue, one that brings many concerns to the forefront, while giving Saoirse a chance to work on her powers a bit more. The artwork alone makes this an issue worth checking out, as does the tale it supports.

The Last Witch #5 is a powerful read, one that doesn't feel compelled to hand the readers any answers. It's creative and full of heart all in one. The artwork helps to bring the story further to life, sneaking in little details and embellishments.

Mercy #6 wraps up the series in a way that is perfect for fans and characters alike, making a memorable series of events, all while being supported by truly brilliant artwork.

Thor #1 was a brilliant and surprising first issue in a new series. It's clear that the new creative team at the helm has great plans for this beloved hero. What's better is that they've already proven that they're not afraid to take risks. I for one am very much looking forward to seeing where this plot leads.

Thor #2 was a fascinating issue, and ended up being so much more than the spoilers promised. That's saying something, if you ask me. It proves that sometimes you really need a scene in context in order to really appreciate what is going on.

Thor #3 was every bit as dramatic and haunting as fans were led to hope. We may have known this fight was coming (courtesy of the conclusion from Thor #2), but there really was no way to prepare for what actually happened.

Thor #4 was an intense and thrilling read, one that brought about many changes and surprises. It's hard to say how far-reaching the impact on what just happened will be. But I, for one, intend to stick around and find out.

Thor #5 continues the latest epic saga in Thor's life. It's dramatic and intense, and on a grand scale that fans have come to expect from our hero. In many ways, it feels like we've been thrown back into the time of Gorr, and that is horrifying, in itself.

Thor #7 began yet another arc for Thor, and it did so with style. It blended many thematic elements present in Thor's latest few runs, but it did so in a unique manner. The writing is using those moments as building blocks, cleverly combining them as a foundation for something more. And yet, I find myself strongly looking forward to seeing where this latest arc will go. It's going to be hard to predict, and that makes it all the better.

Thor #9 is a richly intense issue, one that sets a scene and makes dramatic leaps all in a single issue. It's captivating, and just a little bit terrifying. Especially for fans that are familiar with the themes and tones of this plot, and just how bad things could possibly get before it all comes to an end.

Thor #10 is a tense issue, from start right up until the finish. Arguably, it's tense beyond that point as well, as readers are forced to wait a month to see what happens next. This is an epic plot arc, one that is befitting of some of the more popular Thor arcs and events.

Thor #12 is an extremely intense read. Or at least, it was for this reader. It's been difficult yet fascinating, watching Donald Blake tear his way through Thor's world. While I don't think any of us want to see him succeed, there is a certain level of morbid curiosity surrounding it all.

Thor #13 is a dramatic addition to this plot arc. One that I have to admit I'm enjoying even more than I expected. The whole Donald Black plot has been intense and just a little bit harrowing, adding some much-needed consequences to that backstory.

Once & Future #14 is a harrowing issue, one that isn't afraid to put readers through the wringer. The end result is something that is both compelling and memorable. The artistic design and colors continue to be stellar for this series as well.

Once & Future #15 is bold and brilliant in the best of ways. The new twists are truly that, while still fitting with the story thus far. Throw in the stunning artwork, terrifying (yet compelling) monsters, and you've got yourself a memorable issue.

Ghost-Spider #1 was a fantastic first issue to Gwen's newest series. It's vibrant and full of life"just like Gwen Stacy. And of course, we appreciate the ironic mirroring between the two fresh starts here. It was a nice touch.

Ghost-Spider #2 is most assuredly the calm before the storm. And while a fan would never actively root for something bad to happen to Gwen"it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. The foreshadowing in this issue was well done, being both creepy and interesting.

Ghost-Spider #3 did an excellent job of telling us three stories (perhaps four) all at the same time. And while we can assume that at some point those plots are going to merge, we don't yet know how. And I, for one, am looking forward to seeing it happen.

Ghost-Spider #4 was another fun issue in this series. The tension has been building for four issues now, leaving fans wondering when it's all going to burst. But we're going to appreciate Gwen's small (ish) break in the meantime.

Ghost-Spider #5 was another fascinating installment in Gwen's adventure. There's something so satisfying about seeing the consequences of Gwen's time spent on two different Earths. Not to mention that this is a plot that has been building for quite some time.

Ghost-Spider #6 is a fun diversion for our Gwen Stacy " while also taking the time to set up something looming on the horizon. It's a perfect balance and one that will go a long way in holding our interest.

Ghost-Spider #7 was a fascinating read, one that brought two new characters to the forefront, alongside an old antagonist to counter their appearance. I, for one, am insanely excited to see where this goes. The whole new plot is balanced out nicely by the new harmony that Gwen seems to have found in her own life.

Ghost-Spider #8 was a shockingly intense issue, one that moved steadily forward with the main plot. All while providing insight into Gwen's reaction on what is happening on Earth 616 (the "main" universe). I, for one, am very much looking forward to seeing what the next issue brings with it. While this one does not end with a cliffhanger, it is more than enough to keep me on the edge of my seat in the meantime.

We've received another fun and thrilling issue with Ghost-Spider #10, all while setting the stakes for something more. I love that all of those subtle moments before now added up to something, and I sincerely cannot wait to see how far those elements are going to be pushed.

Big Girls #1 was an intense, yet fascinating, start to a new series. Personally, I'm already looking forward to reading the second issue, and so on and so forth. Having read this first issue, I can completely understand the comparisons made during the marketing campaign. They're already proving to be spot-on. Though Big Girls is also providing its own flair, naturally. Here's hoping that trend continues.

Ultimately, She: At the Tower of All That Is Known is an experience worth diving into. It's bold, flashy, and a ton of fun.

In short, it's a fast-paced and clever read, and I hope that her story is far from over

Star #5 is bold, brash, and unafraid to tell a tale about a woman suffering " while simultaneously growing stronger. Accompanied by brilliant artwork, Star's story is unforgettable.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #1 is already off to a strong start. I remember when Saladin Ahmed was first revealed to be the author for the new series. Ahmed took to Twitter, asking fans for what they felt was most important for him to know. After all, he's a male author writing about a teenage girl. I respect that he was aware of the gaps in his knowledge there.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #17 is a whirlwind issue, full of events, plots, characters, and details. All of which add up to create something bold, intense, and fun. Throw in the artwork, and you've got a memorable read.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #18 is the perfect issue for a celebration, and for a goodbye of sorts. This issue marks the 75th issue in her solo series, as well as the conclusion to the latest run. It's fun and bold, and full of the charm that fans have come to love and expect.

Ironheart #8 was an important issue in terms of setting up for something bigger. But the heart to heart and cameos make the issue completely worth checking out. Especially if you're a fan of either character involved.

Ironheart #9 is visually striking while also giving us a story to remember, with plenty of cameos.

Ironheart #10 is a compelling issue, pulling together the more humorous elements and some heavier tones in Riri's story.

Ironheart #11 brings with it an emotional set of surprises, alongside some very dramatic poses from our favorite heroines.

Ironheart #12 is the sendoff that fans deserved from this series. It's a chance to say goodbye, all while seeing Riri finally accept herself for who she is.

Champions #1 is a powerful issue, giving a voice to younger generations, creating parallels (both to Marvel's past, and current real-life events and emotions) in evocative ways. Combined with the artwork, it all makes for a memorable issue.

Champions #2 is a powerful and poignant issue. It doesn't pull punches, and instead tells a story that will hit very close to home. Supporting all of that writing one will find striking artwork, which makes brilliant use of light sources and color.

Champions #3 is a harrowing read, of that there is no doubt. Yet it is also a powerful read, one full of raw and real emotion, and supported by colorful and dramatic artwork.

Champions #4 is full of tense moments, vital characters development, and so much more. The bold artwork helps to increase the impact of this plot, which is already fairly intense.

Champions #5 wraps up the current Kamala's Law/C.R.A.D.L.E. plot arc, and it does so in a way that is reminiscent of major Marvel moments in history. It's a powerful read, and a visually stunning issue to top it all off.

Champions #6 is a bold and busy issue, with the Champions still reeling from the last arc. Yet there's no time for a break, as new plots and enemies are already being established. The art does a great job of capturing the wrongness of what is happening in the series.

I'm curious to see where this series leads in the long run. This issue set some expectations, but a lot of it was vague enough that I can see it going several different ways. Admittedly, that went a long way in making me more invested in the series.

Dead End Kids #2 proved that the first issue was not a one-hit wonder. It continued the tale that captivated readers while adding more complexity along the way. The twists and revelations in this issue made it anything but predictable, leaving us with a true mystery on our hands.

Dead End Kids #3 was the conclusion that all series deserves. It tied up everything, but not in the stereotypical neat little bow. That's too clean for this series. But what we were given is exactly the sort of ending we needed to see, in many ways.

Stray Dogs #1 is probably not an issue you want to pick up when you have no idea what's going to happen in it. But if you do know what to expect? (i.e. Maybe don't let your kids casually pick up this series). It's absolutely worth the read. It'll break your heart and chill you to the bones, and leave you curious to see what is going to happen next.

Stray Dogs #3 is a brilliant yet dark series, one that hasn't been afraid to take risks. While it is undoubtedly disturbing to see so many distressed dogs, I will admit that there is such a compelling nature to the narrative inside Stray Dogs.

Stray Dogs: Dog Days #1 is heartbreaking yet beautifully written and illustrated. One that will not pull punches. It's incredible seeing how emotive these characters have become.

Stray Dogs: Dog Days #2 gives readers another chance to say goodbye to these heartbreaking pooches and their compelling stories. The bold artwork combines with vivid storytelling, all of which wraps around the reader's heart and refuses to let go.

This series could easily go one of two ways. It could become a shorter-running series, or the creative team could turn it into something longer. Either way, they have the opportunity to really push the boundaries of this horror tale. It'll be interesting to see what they do with it.

The conclusion of this issue did, admittedly, raise more questions, and has left me anxious to see what will happen next. And there will be plenty of fans out there asking the same set of questions.

Something Is Killing the Children #3 was another chilling addition to this series. I'm glad they took the time to establish more of the world and plot before throwing us back into the deep end. Now we have a better understanding of what is wrong"and thus how dangerous this hunt is going to be.

Something Is Killing the Children #4 was just as eerie and alarming as fans could have hoped for. The pace is speeding up, and that means Erica has only so much time to complete her hunt. But that also means that fans are about to finally start getting some of the answers we've been looking for, as well as a few more questions to throw into the mix.

Something Is Killing the Children #5 was another intense addition to this series. They somehow managed to heighten the emotional connection and toll even further here, while forcing the story onward. Only time will tell what the ramifications will be, but I can't wait to find out.

Something Is Killing the Children #6 was a chilling and thrilling read. It's once again setting the scene for something much larger than life. If the past event is anything to go by, then you just know how big and bad it's going to get before it's resolved. And I, for one, am very much looking forward to seeing all of that happen.

Something Is Killing the Children #7 is a dark issue, but it's also one loaded with intrigue. We've been shown that there's more to this world than meets the eyes, all while setting the scene for something larger (and arguably more dangerous) down the line. It's going to be fascinating to see where Erica's story leads next, and who will be involved along the way. Will characters introduced in the first arc make an appearance? Or will new characters take a lead? Only time will tell.

Something Is Killing the Children #8 continues the harrowing tale of one town and the serious monster problem they suddenly have on their hands. Yet the development of said plot has been unexpected. In fact, it is infinitely more complicated to deal with a monster infestation than one might expect.

Something is Killing the Children #11 is another memorable addition to this already haunting series. Somehow the horror and emotional toll of everything that has happened is continuing to increase, reaching a peak.

Something Is Killing the Children #12 is a harrowing issue, no matter which way you look at it. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still reeling from the implications and revelations that occurred here. Likewise, I sincerely cannot wait to see what is going to happen next. Or how Erica is going to get out of this"particular situation.

This one issue alone boasted some absolutely beautiful artwork, and that will surely make for a memorable series. I'm personally looking forward to what they'll show us next.

The Marked #2 was a dark and deeply concerning issue, for a variety of reasons. Readers will now have a full understanding of how dangerous magic can be. And why it should never be allowed to get into the wrong hands.

The Marked #3 was an intense continuation in this series. I, along with many other fans, I'm sure, have so many questions about what is to come. The revelations in this issue were strong enough to force us to stop on a dime and think about what we were just told. And I just the sense that this was only the beginning of it all.

The Marked #4 was a breathtaking read. The artwork alone is enough to make it memorable, but the heavy-hitting story is ground-shaking. There's still quite a bit left to this tale, and yet I'm finding myself more and more eager to see how it all plays out.

The Marked #5 concludes the first volume, appropriately titled "Fresh Ink". It was everything we could have hoped for, wrapping up the plot with intense action and emotional revelations.

The Marked #6 proves that there's so much more to this series than one plot arc, but good luck predicting what's going to happen next. This latest arc is dark and foreboding while setting the scene for something more to come along in the future.

The Marked #8 is another intense and intriguing addition to this series. The second arc is well and truly winding up, and it feels safe to assume that it has the same deadly potential as the first. If not more so, considering who has become involved.

The Marked #9 brings with it a heaping load of suspense, magic, and wonder. Though perhaps not quite in that order. It made for a fascinating read, one all the more intense for the new subplots introduced. On that note, with everything going on it's going to be a difficult wait for the next issue. Yet there's little doubt that it will be worth it.

The Marked #10 is a tense read, from start to finish. Some of the changes brought about are positive, while others are concerning. All of them have left me eager to see what will happen in the next issue.

Guardians of the Galaxy #1 started off the new series with a bang. It's not the series I expected"but I think it could be even better than that. It's amazing how many characters and locations they were able to fit into just a single issue, and how they succeeded in keeping them all distinct. The plot looks like it's going to be an interesting one. Even though it's only going to be six issues long, it's clear that they have big goals to reach within that time frame. I also have a feeling that the events that occur within this series will end up affecting other series"

Guardians of the Galaxy is not quite the series that I had expected it to be, but it really has been an interesting read so far. They're making good use of their expansive cast to build up the tension, giving us an idea of the battle we're heading towards.

Ludocrats #5 is the chaos fueled conclusion to the series, with lots of fun moments, twists, and surprises along the way. Throw in the varied artwork in this issue, and it becomes something truly memorable.

Fairlady #1 was a strong start to this new series. It still has a long way to go with the story, but I get the impression that we're going to learn a lot more about our main characters, as well as the world at large.

Fairlady #2 lived up to both my expectations and the promise of the series. In many ways I think that the second issue surpassed the first, which, of course, has resulted in my expectations being raised for the next issue.

The adventure of Fairlady just keeps getting more and more interesting as time goes on. This issue was the most complex one to date, and with good reason. The writing coupled with the art style makes for an immersive reading experience.

All in all, this issue was wonderful. The bounty was not something I expected to see"and yet it was something I feel that any reader can sympathize with and support. That certainly made the whole ordeal a lot more entertaining.

Fairlady #5 was perhaps the strongest issue of the series, weaving old plots into the new and creating something so much larger than readers have ever expected. Jenner's perspective was retrospective in a way that made it oddly perfect for the last issue.

Spider-Woman #11 is a fun return to many of the basic elements fans have come to love about her series. Though it is far from drama-free, as new villains and conflicts have already been introduced. Combined with brilliant artwork, it makes for a fun and memorable issue.

Spider-Woman #12 is a fascinating issue, one that is full of fighting, history, and a few extra surprises. The artwork is outstanding here, showcasing an amazing fight scene and captivating lettering.

Farmhand #6 brought with it a new plot, but it's tied in so well with the previous plot that it doesn't really feel that way. It's building upon everything we've been shown before, increasing the tension. We know that something is going to break, and soon. We just don't know how it's going to happen yet. Farmhand has been a truly unique and exciting read so far. It's not afraid to be itself, and it really does stand out amongst the rest. It's a blend of a lot of different tones and elements that seem contradictory, but end up being something quite fascinating.

This issue was also shockingly emotional, which I think was also needed. It reminded us that the people at stake are just that"people. They're flawed, broken, and hurting, but they're still people. I'm very much looking forward to the next issue to find out where that cliffhanger is going to lead.

Farmhand #8 was everything I had hoped it would be. Actually, it was quite a bit more than that. I was curious about the stranger shown at the end of the last issue, but none of my guesses could have competed with the truth.

Part of me is sad that this is the season wrap-up for Farmhand. The rest of me is curious to know how many more seasons are planned. I'm sincerely not sure how far Guillory is planning on taking this plot, but I'm anxious to find out.

Farmhand #11 went out of its way to build up towards something larger. We don't yet know how explosive this plot is going to get. This issue left us in a desperate state. We know that things are going to get worse before things get better. But now we know how few avenues seem to be available.

Farmhand #12 is one of those issues full of drama and danger"and yet you can't help but feel like it's all building towards something even bigger. And thus I'm finding myself quite excited to see what will happen in the next issue, and for more than one reason. Anybody else feeling that way?

Farmhand #13 was a chilling and delightful issue to read. That sounds like a contradiction, I know. But any horror fan out there knows exactly what I mean by that. This series has been so much fun to read, and I'm honestly looking forward to seeing what will happen next. Though, I can't even begin to guess at what the next dramatic revelation will be.

Farmhand #14 was another chilling, but brilliant, addition to this series. It's officially hit a point where I'm practically counting down the days until the next release. That's how intense and fascinating this plot has become.

Farmhand #15 was a haunting tale, one that revealed the past to such a dramatic effect. It truly would not be the same series if they were to remove the family drama. Or the horror, for that matter. Together they merge and create something new and perfect.

This was an absolutely hilarious issue. It was probably funnier than the last several, as the humor and banter seemed to be particularly on point. Luckily no major changes seem to be on the way for the girls, though there is something building up with Ed's plot. We'll just have to see where that one leads us.

This was a great issue. It covered on some real emotions that can crop up between friendships. While Ester was in the wrong for how she treated Ed, Ed also handled the situation poorly. In the end everyone acted like adults, which is a big deal. That's not something you see every day.

This was another fantastic issue of Giant Days, though, on the whole, it did feel more balanced between the characters than other issues have been. While Esther probably got the most screen time, all three of the main characters had their own issues to deal with, all getting a few pages each. The inclusion of the party at the end, which had all three of them together, was a nice touch. It all flowed very nicely, and even set up a couple of new plots. It's likely that we'll be seeing an Esther focused plot next, or it could be Susan.

Giant Days #53 did a lot of heavy lifting in this issue, wrapping up plots will still being surprising and entertaining.

Giant Days is wrapping up, yet our creative team is doing everything possible to help us say goodbye to these beloved characters.

Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 was exactly the goodbye we needed. It has a bittersweet plot and bright panels full of our favorite characters.

It's sad to have to say goodbye to a beloved series. But at least Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 made it a bit more bearable by giving the characters the send-off they all deserved. And okay, it does help to know that John Allison has already started a new project (Steeple).

I'm looking forward to seeing where Gil and Kadyn's journey take them from here. We'll surely see more of the universe and these interesting characters in following issues. Any guesses on what will happen next?

This series has been fascinating so far, and I honestly can't wait to see what the next major revelation will be. We know that this father and son duo still have a long way left in their journeys. And that leaves us to wonder what else they'll come across.

This series has managed to balance the unique and the familiar in some incredibly striking ways. The end result is something that feels organic"there's no evidence of the series trying to hard to force us to care. That came as naturally as breathing.

This issue doesn't exactly end in a cliffhanger"but it's close enough where readers will be anxiously looking forward to any future issue they're willing to give us. And of course, we find our list of questions growing with every dramatic reveal.

Sea of Stars #5 was another brilliant read from this creative team. I know that this issue concludes the end of the first plot arc. But it still feels like there's still so much more to Gil and Kadyn's tale. The real question is"how far are they going to push this new boundary? And of course, there's always the question of how long the authors want to keep writing. Here's hoping we get several more issues before the end.

Yondu #1 presented a character unashamed about who and what he was. He wasn't toned down at all"which might surprise any fans expecting a Yondu from the movies. But it certainly is making for a dramatic read. And it will be well suited for any comic fan looking for a bit of a change.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #1 features characters we love (both new and old), creative writing techniques, and brilliant artwork. All of which makes for a reading experience sure to thrill fans.

Doctor Aphra #2 is an issue full of careful character development, haunting implications, and equally foreboding artwork. It's the perfect storm, so to speak.

Doctor Aphra #3 is full of character development, creative writing, and stunning artwork, all of which tell a cohesive story.

Doctor Aphra #4 is an entertaining issue, setting up for something bigger and more dangerous " knowing Aphra. The artwork for this issue, and series, has been pure perfection, bold colors and character designs all over the place.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #5 is an eventful issue, full of drama and surprising details, all of which hint at more to come " both in terms of adventures, and character growth for a quirky character such as Aphra.

Doctor Aphra #6 is a highly entertaining issue, one that portrays multiple strong (and conniving) characters, sets up for another adventure, and hints at a new arrival. All supported by brilliant artwork, of course.

Doctor Aphra #7 is entertaining to read, finding that balance between intense and comical. Her adventures are about to ramp up again, as evidenced by all the planning. All of which is wonderfully supported by vibrant artwork that has a little bit of fun with the character.

Doctor Aphra #8 is an entertaining and fun read. It has a lot of action, some humorous moments, and even more striking scenes worth checking out " especially for those avid Star Wars fans.

I'm happy that the art style switched back to something more like the original issues. It's not that I hadn't liked the previous styles, more that this style fits the feel of the series better. As per usual all of the Lumberjanes are adorably drawn, while also being their own unique selves. I love that it's so easy to tell them all apart, and that they each have their own style and temperament to go with it.

As per usual the artwork for this series is adorable. There isn't a ton of attention to detail, and yet every camper has their own distinguishing feature(s) and are easily identified at a glance (even if I don't always recall their names"but that's mostly on me and my bad memory).

As per usual the artwork is perfect for this series. Its bold lines and colors along with the simpler designs really suit the stories being told, but still allow for each character to be distinct and fun in their own way. The creepy crawlers shown at the end made my skin crawl, but I guess that's a good thing?

While the story may be taking a different turn than is usual for the Lumberjanes, the artwork has been spot on as per usual. It's bright, cheerful and fun. Where the art lacks in detail is more than makes up for with its personality. The representation of the glowing fungus was a nice touch " especially when the colors changed while they were being chased.

Additionally it's interesting that the mess hall group still hasn't noticed that three of their members are missing. Yes, the cabin is jam-packed, but you'd think that at some point they'd wonder why Ripley wasn't wreaking havoc someplace or something like that. She's not exactly a discreet person"

Lumberjanes #64 was a fun and chaotic tale - exactly what we want to see from this team.

Lumberjanes #65 is setting up for one crazy plot - which sounds about right for these adventurers. The artwork is fun and light and perfect for the plot at hand.

Lumberjanes #66 brings us a whole new goddess for the Lumberjanes to deal with, and with her some brilliant scenes and humorous moments.

Lumberjanes #67 brings with it a fun-filled plot, bright colors, and oh yeah, let's not forget a battle between two goddesses.

Lumberjanes #68 was another exceptional addition to the series, with one adorable and endearing twist at the end that proves how inclusive this series really is.

Lumerbjanes #69 is a fun start to a new plot, one that is full of intrigue and history.

Lumberjanes #70 is an endearing issue, full of history and character development, not to mention a fair amount of fantastic artwork.

Lumberjanes #71 is an issue full of endearing artwork and surprising revelations, combining to make for a memorable read.

Lumberjanes #72 is an entertaining read, one that reveals the history of the camp, all while being perfectly supported by iconic and memorable artwork.

Lumberjanes #73 is a fun and delightful introduction to 'The End of Summer' event, showcasing our favorite characters, all while introducing new plots, adventures, and dilemmas. As well as a lot of fun artwork, naturally.

Lumberjanes #74 is vibrant and emotional, setting up for the conclusion of the series, all while giving everyone a chance to say goodbye.

Lumberjanes #75 is a bittersweet issue, with the larger size allowing for even more buildup, and one more chance to say goodbye. The characters and artwork are everything that fans could have hoped for.

Lumberjanes End of Summer #1 is a chaos fueled conclusion to a beloved series, and I wouldn't have it any other way. This bright and spirited tale has been full of colorful characters and events, and so does their ending.

Lumberjanes: Somewhere That's Green #1 was a blast to read. My only regret is that it was a standalone issue. It was fun to see the crew on a more casual adventure. And while I know it's unlikely, I sure wouldn't mind seeing more of the new characters introduced. This issue did a wonderful job of nailing the whimsical nature shown in the series. It was abstract and fun, and not afraid to just be itself. That's what makes this series so fantastic.

For a new series, Exorsisters certainly looks like it has a lot of potential. Like any new series it's still in its settling in phase, but once past that, I thought it could prove to be really intriguing. Already we've had a couple of mysteries hinted at us.

The series has been really enjoyable so far. The mystery of who the twins really are has been solved, but there's likely still so much more to their story. Exorsisters #2 even took the time to set up for the next plot, which is always appreciated. There is a chance that the series could become a freak of the week sort of thing, but as long as it stays humorous I'd be okay with that.

Exorsisters is one of those series that isn't afraid to beat up its main characters, both physically and emotionally. That sometimes results in it being a rough read, but it does go a long way in making sure we're emotionally invested in the series. Unsurprisingly, this issue has kept that trend, with the new backstory revealed.

Exorsisters #4 is really starting to move the plot forward at an exceptional pace. We still don't know everything that's going on here, and that's a good thing. Cate and Kate are dealing with something that they've never seen before"on multiple fronts. From creatures pretending to be something they're not, to complicated plots that they haven't even begun to unravel.

Exorsisters #5 successfully ups the ante of the series, while also reminding us of everything that these two sisters have to lose. This series has always had fun with its concept, never taking itself too seriously. But it also isn't afraid to remind us that these girls do in fact have feelings, and have been through hell (literally) and back.

It is shockingly good to have Exorsisters back and updating once again. This series has been fun from the start, but with the new arc that Exorsisters #6 brought with it, things are certain to get more intense from here. I, for one, am very much looking forward to seeing what happens next, all while seeing how these strange sisters deal with it all.

Ghosted in L.A. #1 went a long way in establishing the characters and story, but I'm looking forward to seeing the plot progress in the next issue. I imagine that is where we'll get into the thick of things. That being said, I feel like this is going to be a series to keep an eye on.

Ghosted in L.A. #2 was a fun read, even if at times I cringed about Daphne's choices. That being said, the series has proven to be oddly self-aware, with the characters being fully capable of talking about and admitting their mistakes. It's one of the things that makes for such great character building.

Ghosted in L.A. #3 meets and exceeds all expectations, perfectly upping the ante, so to speak. It takes the series from something more casual and turning it into something more relatable and intense. And the cliffhanger is enough of a reason to leave fans desperate to see the resolution.

Ghosted in L.A. #4 was a whirlwind of a read. It was shockingly emotional and intense"and that's considering the subject of the previous issue. It's been fun to see the darker side of the series. Even better, the series is still holding onto its more optimistic tones, so it is still a perfect escape for fans out there.

Ghosted in L.A. #5 was another delightful addition to this series. It has a strong sense of charm, thanks to its heavily character-driven plot. The series is like no other out there, and is oddly refreshing because of it.

Ghosted in L.A. #6 was another intriguing addition to this story. It feels like we're slowly learning about this house and the ghosts stuck in it. And yet, there's clearly so much more to this story. Here's hoping that Daphne starts getting us some answers soon.

Ghosted in L.A. #7 was another fun and enthralling read. The complex characters have made this series something truly standout. And I, for one, am very much looking forward to seeing what the big reveal will be in the next issue.

Ghosted in L.A. #8 was a shocking read, but perhaps not for the reasons, you might expect. This was an emotional peak in the series, forcing character development and changes left and right. Not knowing how far those changes will go, I've got to admit that I'm excited to find out.

Ghosted in L.A. #9 was another thrilling issue, one that took a different turn of events. It is very much still the series we've fallen in love with. But the plot has been firmly moved forward, all while taking more risks than ever before.

Ghosted in L.A. #10 is arguably the most dramatic issue of the series, which is saying something. We're finally getting a chance to see where all of that buildup has been leading to, and it sure is looking dark. And interesting. I, for one, cannot wait to see what happens next, or how far this plot will be pushed.

Ghosted in L.A. #11 is the standout issue of the series"so far. It's the culmination of months of work, and it shows. For that reason, it is an issue we've been waiting for, and it was absolutely worth that wait.

Ghosted in L.A. #12 was everything the fans (myself included) could have hoped for. It was sweet and carefully written, allowing for a complete sense of closure. While I would have been happy to see the series go on, I respect the conclusion we've been handed.

Runaways #23 may not have a lot of action, but it still has plenty of compelling scenes to look forward to.

The Runaways #24 are dealing with a lot of changes and challenges in their lives, and that's not all that unusual. But at least this issue gave them a chance to work some of it out.

Runaways #25 brings with it lots of complications, changes, and naturally some perfectly dramatic artwork to enjoy.

Runaways #26 gives us a few shocks, while also building up towards several larger plots.

Runaways #27 was another interesting issue, and it seems like that foreboding feeling has only gotten worse with time.

Runaways #28 is an issue full of drama and intrigue, with the hero of the series being so much less than that.

Runaways #30 is a dramatic yet cleverly written issue, one that is full of excellent artwork with a clear design.

Runaways #31 was an extremely satisfying conclusion to the most recent plot arc, made all the stronger by the brilliant artwork supporting it.

Runaways #33 is full of smaller details and hints to pick up, as the Runaways face change, both as a group, and on very personal levels. Once again we're seeing the group learn and grow, and that brings with it more surprises.

Runaways #34 is both an entertaining and concerning issue. It has plenty of moments, some of which house clear foreshadowing for the future. All of which is portrayed perfectly thanks to the bold and bright artwork.

Runaways #35 is a tense and fascinating issue, one that carries multiple threads and surprises. Thanks to the artwork, the full impact of each twist is felt to the fullest.

Ironheart 2020 #1 was a compelling and interesting read. It's one that fans of both (or either) major events will appreciate. That being said, I stand firm with the statement that fans of Riri that haven't been following along with those events can dive on in here. Just so long as they have a basic understanding of what happened"and they don't mind spoilers.

Ironheart 2020 #2 is every bit the issue that the fans deserved while providing us insight into two very different events occurring within the Marvel universe. It isn't every day you see a crossover such as this, but I have to admit that it was beautifully done.

B.b. free #1 was a great start to a new series. It was emotional and intelligent, and it wasn't afraid to allow subtlety to tell certain elements of the story. And let's not forget the conclusion of this issue, which will leave readers anxious to get their hands on the second issue.

b.b. free #2 was another unique and fascinating read from this series. It's a charming read, one that gives us a glimpse into the life of Chulita, while also building up other elements along the way. It almost felt like this issue spent most of its time setting up for something else, which should make the next issue fairly dramatic.

Crone #1 was a strong start to a new series, one that subverts all expectations of what it means to be a warrior.

Crone #2 continues the tale of Bloody Bliss, while also being part cautionary tale for readers.

Crone #3 was a vibrant and concerning tale of the aged warrior, full of striking scenes and colors.

Crone #5 was a beautifully written conclusion to a compelling series, one that is full of striking and evocative artwork.

Domino: Hotshots #1 was an interesting and fast-paced issue. There was a strong balance between the serious and the humorous in this issue, which is to be expected. Neena has a way of calming down even the worst of moments. Which is good, because they're going to need that with what is sure to happen in the following issues.

Domino: Hotshots has been an interesting and intense series so far. It's been full of new team-ups and snappy one-liners. Domino: Hotshots #2 continues that trend, but it also throws even more into the mix. As if the newly formed team didn't have enough to deal with. But it does make for an interesting read.

Catwoman #25 marks the 25th issue in her latest series, and it comes with three dynamic stories, full of brilliant and bold artwork.

Catwoman #26 is a bold issue, melding her past and her present together in one unique narrative, all while setting up for future conflicts. Supported by bright and charismatic artwork, this is an issue for the fans.

Catwoman #27 is a fast-paced issue, one that sets the scene while also providing a strong reminder of Catwoman's past. All in one. Complimented by creative artwork, it has a story worth telling.

Catwoman #28 is bold and fierce, reminding readers that Catwoman is far from being out of the game, despite what some of her enemies might like to think. It's full of action, and the brilliant artwork supports all of it.

Catwoman #29 is a bold issue, one that weaves together multiple storylines in order to create something new. It is full of surprises, clever moments, and vibrant artwork.

Catwoman #30 is an interesting issue, one that feels like it's setting up for another dramatic series of events. The artwork is dark and brooding, and suits the plot quite nicely.

Catwoman #39 isn't afraid of color or daring adventures, as it sets up for a new series of events for the one and only Selina Kyle.

Nomen Omen #1 is a striking new series bound to catch and maintain your reading attention.

Nomen Omen #2 is a visually stunning issue, one that continues the mystery of this world.

Nomen Omen #3 was another brilliantly styled issue in which Becky's life is turned upside down. But at least she's starting to get some answers.

Nomen Omen #4 was a thrilling and curiosity grabbing issue, full of brilliant artwork.

Nomen Omen #5 features some truly striking artwork, alongside compelling character development and revelations.
