It's a concept as old as time, but it did try to be a little unique. It's unfortunate that the beginning was a bit confusing. Well see what happens.

The book has too many storylines. It's good, but I feel like it's a a little too wide of a scope. Who knows, maybe it will all come together.
American Caper #5
Brides and Butchery!
William Hamilton dodges a bullet. Literally. Eliza Charmers discovers a murder weapon. Nearly. Eva and Maria run into some very familiar “friends.”
Meanwhile: Marnie and her conspiracy crush meet up at a gun range. And Eva reveals a dark secret of her former life in Mexico amongst the cartels as a glam...
Not sure I liked the ending. Wish it was more grounded and I didn't feel the impact of the revenge because of it.

Devil on My Shoulder #4
Join us for the final issue of Devil on My Shoulder where we find our revenge-fueled heroine face-to-face with her final torturer.
Will she find the fifth boy? Will she get her well-deserved bloody revenge? Come see an incredible twist to our hero's tale and a wild, gory, monstrous, terrible finale to this incredible horror series.
The story follows almost the same format as the first issue. I'm not sure the story is actually that good, but for some reason I'm going to be generous, because I am invested.

The Thing on the Doorstep #2
Edward has started Miskatonic University, hoping to deepen his understanding in the strange and the occult, but little bargaining for meeting a beguiling woman named Asenaith Waite, who can seemingly control the weather. After a disturbing hypnotism, Edward quickly falls for Asenath, little understanding her true intentions.

The Thing on the Doorstep (2026)
MINISERIES PREMIERE
Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been best friends almost their entire lives, right up to the point Daniel shoots Edward dead in the Arkham Sanitorium-a crime Daniel swears he didn't commit, despite all the evidence. What happened on that fateful day in Arkham? What is the truth behind this seemingly mindless act of viol...
On one hand, it is wasn't how I expected it to end. On the other, it was refreshing to have it end in a way that focused more on the town.

Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring #6
The series finale of the critically acclaimed cozy-horror smash hit! Samantha Strong has made her choice…and Woodbrook will never be the same. The events of the previous issue are so incredibly wild that we actually can’t type anything else here without it being a major spoiler. But you won’t want to miss the conclusion to Patrick Horvath’s epic fo...
I thought this arc was fun. It definitely didn't hit me like some of the previous issues, but it had cool visuals, and good moments.

Absolute Batman #18
After the explosive reveal ending last issue, and Batman continues to fight Poison Ivy's mutated monsters and winds up uncovering an even more gruesome horror that has embedded itself in the city's very foundations. All while the Joker's machinations start to coalesce in a partnership with a new ally.
It was fine. It didn't really add much to the Speed Racer story like the previous issues have.

Racer X #5
Racer X hits the Tiger Syndicate hard... but Dante Ferno hunts harder. As X is herded into a deadly construction-site trap, Ferno unveils his chilling creed inside a taxidermy “Hall of Champions”: only predators survive. Trapped between gangland artillery and a madman’s natural-selection philosophy, Racer X must evolve fast… or end up mounted on th...
I know nothing about this character. I rarely read DC books, but I wanted to give this a try due to the Dani art, and hearing good things about DC recently. This book sucked. At least for a new reader. I had no idea what was going on and it didn't try to alleviate that in any way.

Batwoman. Daughter. Sister. Soldier. Hero. But since she was 10 years old, Kate Kane has lived in the shadow of a prophecy and the machinations of a religion devoted to the end of all things. How do you fight the devil when the devil is real? And how do you win? Acclaimed writer and co-creator of the modern Batwoman Greg Ruck returns to the story o...
The art seemed a little off. The book was alright. It definitely had some moments, but did not feel very exciting.

THE HUNT FOR SALVATION ON THE ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON! CAPTAIN AMERICA has formed an alliance with the LATVERIAN LIBERATORS to put a stop to violent insurgent leader SALVATION and his domineering TRUE LATVERIA army.

A nice #1. It's the character work that's the selling point. The characters are written well. The plot is nothing new.

Alias: Red Band #1
THE RETURN OF JESSICA JONES!
A series of grisly murders in Hell's Kitchen pulls JESSICA JONES into a mystery more sinister than she could've ever imagined. As the wife of Mayor LUKE CAGE, she'll have to tread carefully as she forms a dangerous alliance with TYPHOID MARY to track down the killer. But as she delves deeper into Hell's Kit...
It's not my favorite AB issue. It's still solid, just didn't feel like it reached a level that made me feel like previous issues.

Absolute Batman #17
Dr. Pamela Isley has been unleashed from the Ark-M facility with an unending hate and burning fire for revenge on Gotham City, and those who put her in the belly of the beast. When Batman hunts her down, he must survive a labyrinth of leveled horrors, one more gruesome after the next, as he tries to save the city from a monster it created.
Love Simmonds work. It's also a good read. Not as strong as the Invisible Man #1, but still a good read.

But it's his former life as an archaeology student that makes him the only man to track down an artifact that’s gone missing from the Museum of Natural History…an ancient anvil said to hold the power of the Greek god Heph...
The dialogue is a little cheesy, but it's a lot of fun. This series always is reliable.

Speed Racer #6
The Racer's Revenge! A new challenger unveils the resurrected GRX Engine and declares war on the Racer family. Speed races to defend Pops’ legacy, even as old wounds flare and new dangers rise.
It's a fun silly book. The premise is out there, but it's quirky.
