Neighborhood Watch #4 tackles the difficult subject of domestic violence and how the victims can isolate themselves. Gailey does a good job of capturing how those close to the victim can easily miss the signs. Haining and Nalty set the tone with the artwork and set the series up for a nerve wracking finale.

The Patron #1 is a cool, horror-esque take of an up and coming artist meeting their untimely death. John J. Pearson artwork brings an amazingly eerie feel to this book with compositions that art right out of a film. Christian Ward’s writing drags a bit at times but sets it up well for the next issue.

‘Zatanna’ #4 tells us the stories of the previous Prime Magi and leaves us wondering what Zatanna will bring to magic as the Prime Magus.

The blast to the past at the end reminds us how far Jeff has come since his earlier appearances.

Adventure Time Pride Special: PB & Marcy’s Infinite Mixtape #1 is a cheeky and cute story that’s the perfect kickoff to Pride Month. It’s a good standalone issue for people who are fans of the characters but might not have finished the show.

Zatanna #2 continues to build up the suspense of seeing the Prime Magus in action. Jamal Campbell treats the reader as a member of an audience to Zatanna’s show. Campbell introduces new and interesting characters as well as enchanting artwork to match.

Despite a couple of rushed moments, Sirens: Love Hurts #4 delivers a heartfelt ending with gorgeous artwork to match.

Marvel Rivals: Duel of Kings #1 is a fun issue that takes a break from the usual structure of Marvel Rivals Comics and adds to the lore between Namor and Black Panther. Allor’s writing provides fun breaks that focus on Jeff to break the tension between characters. Stunning art by Espin, Morales and Cunniffe brings you into the world of Marvel Rivals and into Wakanda.

Adventure Time #11 deals with grief and missing what used to be in a realistic yet heartbreaking way. It's a great story that can help all ages begin to process grief.
