Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #2
BOUNTY HUNTERS DRAW FIRST BLOOD!
Cyborg bounty hunter VALANCE will stop at nothing to find his old mentor, NAKANO LASH, after her stinging betrayal years earlier.
But other bounty hunters have taken the job after a vicious crime lord put out the hit. Everyone's got a reason to go after the traitorous Nautolan.
BOSSK, BOBA FETT a...
Transformed Tyr was a great villain. This certainly was an action packed issue.

The Last God #6
The Guild Eldritch's plans for peace are thrown into peril by a defiant act of heroism, splintering Cyanthe's fellowship and leaving them weakened as they go into battle against the transformed King Tyr. As the unlikely band of heroes attempts to put an end to their relentless foe, some of them will be tested, some will be punished, and ...
Well it was a sudden ending to the problem of Tim's dream self. Not great but not bad. Tim making his evil dream self angry was quite funny and at least he wasn't irritating like in previous issues.

Books of Magic #18
Tim Hunter has followed his future self's instructions into total disaster... and now, in an icebound land woven from nightmares, he'll look into the gaping maw of his own grave! The saga of Tim and his doppelgänger reaches its explosive conclusion!
Every issue ends with June facing an extraordinarily dire situation but this one tops the cake. The plot was really advanced in this issue and the action was also very good. Cutting your thumb up is a total bad ass move as well.
Basketful of Heads #6
Hill House Comics
In the darkest and most desperate hours of the night, June Branch will use her impossible occult hatchet to cut her way back to her boyfriend. But time is running out for Liam, and June's basket is getting heavier with every new swing of the axe! It's all going down in the penultimate chapter of the gonzo gorefest that launche...
I didn't dislike this issue but I did have a problem with how sudden Lex's plan was destroyed. Also how the villains don't finish the other off when they have the chance. But it does set up Death Metal quite well. Hopefully then this will wrap up the involvement of The Batman Who Laughs for the time being.
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #4
This is it! Lex Luthor has gathered a strike force of villains he's leveled up to be the baddest bad guys around-Captain Cold, Oracle, Solomon Grundy, Black Manta, and Lobo, each and every one a recipient of one of Lex's dark gifts.
But the Batman Who Laughs has his own army of infected heroes. Six hundred sixty-six of them, all transformed int...
The Low, Low Woods #4
Hill House Comics
El and Octavia's paths converge in an unexpected and bizarre way. They come together again just in time to witness a truly horrendous sight: a mob of Skinless Men erupting from the fiery fissures of Shudder-to-Think, Pennsylvania.
Plunge #2
Hill House Comics
After discovering a corpse upon the Sinnikik Atoll, Moriah Lamb leads a team to hunt for other castaways, while Gage Carpenter begins the exploration of the ghost ship Derleth. But there's something down there in the icy darkness of the Arctic sea, something that doesn't want to be found. And it isn't any safer on land. There ...
The premise is still very silly with many tiny Kandorians attacking the heroes but this issue was a lot better. Also the interaction between Zod and Ras was pretty fun.

Batman / Superman #8
General Zod is on a mission to resurrect the Bottle City of Kandor, and he's ready to obliterate anyone in his path! Deep within the ruins of an ancient temple, Ra's al Ghul's bid to save his Lazarus Pits from Kryptonian chaos has brought the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel into a brawl neither expected-or was prepared for! What can Batman and Sup...
Ennis sticks the landing again with a great ending. The brutality at the end, how he dealt with the sons and how he tied all the loose ends up were done very well!
Punisher: Soviet #6
• The soul-chilling end of PUNISHER: SOVIET is here.
• Frank and Val have fought side-by-side against not only a Russian mob but also against the tide of history and these issues will make you see The Punisher (and possibly the world) differently than you do now.

John Constantine: Hellblazer #5
John Constantine has just been named the One True Magelord of All England. Please pray for England.
Great end to a great series. Everything was wrapped up very nice and the next series "The Trial of Bruce Wayne" was also set up very well. Nightwing's line where he said "Holy biblical flood Batman" was genius.
Batman: Curse of the White Knight #8
DC Black Label
Witness the final battle of the two Bats in this conclusion to the second installment of the White Knight saga! After learning the truth about his name and fortune, Bruce Wayne has made a shocking public announcement in pursuit of redemption-but before he can secure Gotham's future and prosperity once and for all, he must protect...
Before I asked myself how Lucifer doesn't remember hunting the god previously but on reflection I'm sure he knows but withheld the information. Odin's story was very enjoyable here and the Lucifer series has continued its very strong run. No complaints at all.

Lucifer #18
Travel back to the early days of Hell itself and witness the first meeting of Odin and Lucifer, a seismic encounter with consequences that will echo through the eons.
The evolution of Lando from a scoundrel who is in it for himself to Rebel was done very well here. Also Luke's realization that a Jedi isn't his lightsaber was also good. The Ugunaut finding his lightsaber after he left was also a good moment. I don't think even a short amount of time however in carbonite would mean that there are no effects from being frozen. That was a bit cheap but overall it w more

Star Wars #4
CATASTROPHE IN THE CLOUDS!
LUKE SKYWALKER, LANDO CALRISSIAN and LEIA ORGANA have returned to CLOUD CITY! They each left things on BESPIN they desperately need - a weapon, a friend, and crucial information.
But the city is swarming with IMPERIALS, under occupation by an EMPIRE desperate to steal its resources.
Things did not go w...
The dialogue was brilliant and there were some genuinely funny moments. Mainly how the villains existed with or trained the kids.
DCeased: The Unkillables #2
With the world ending around them, Red Hood and Batgirl take shelter in the most unlikely place: an orphanage full of children! Will they be able to protect the kids from the impending hordes of the infected streaming out of Gotham City and Blüdhaven? And elsewhere, Deathstroke, Vandal Savage, and some of DC's worst villains battle the apocaly...
DCeased: The Unkillables
The blockbuster DC series returns to answer this question: What did the villains do when the heroes failed and the world ended? Spinning out of the dramatic events of 2019's smash hit, writer Tom Taylor returns to this dark world with a street-level tale of death, heroism and redemption. Led by Red Hood and Deathstroke, DC's hardest villains and an...
This issue was more devoted to the action which is good as the dialogue was a bit so-so. The action was good though.

Batman and the Outsiders #11
Black Lightning is an Outsider no more! It's up to Katana to take up the reigns of leader-ship as things look their darkest for the team-and the new addition of Babylon has thrown the team into flux. Plus, Batman is far from thrilled with the secrets that the Signal and Orphan are keeping from him. And this is exactly what Ra's al Ghul wants: a bro...
Finally she tries to find out more information about the dollhouse. She should have done that a long time ago. Still this issue does very well to build excitement for the conclusion.
The Dollhouse Family #5
Hill House Comics
The Dollhouse has taken away another piece of Alice's soul...but this time she's not running away. This time she's going to uncover the secret of the House's terrible birth...and use that knowledge to destroy it once and for all!
Loved it! Some really nice Rise Of Skywalker tie-ins and some good explanation in how Ben turned to the dark side.
Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #4
SINS OF THE SON
• The Rise of KYLO REN concludes, as BEN SOLO, once the Jedi's greatest hope, is swallowed by the Dark Side.
• It is his destiny - and if there was ever another path, SNOKE and the KNIGHTS OF REN made certain he could not see it.
• From Ben, to Ren... and now he is lost.
I liked this a lot despite what the "expert" critics say. The characters are really interesting with many well known bounty hunters on a collision course. The appearance by Aphra was also a nice surprise.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #1
NEVER BETRAY A BOUNTY HUNTER - ESPECIALLY IF IT'S BOBA FETT!
Years ago, VALANCE and fellow bounty hunters BOSSK and BOBA FETT took on a mission that went sideways in a bad way after Valance's mentor, NAKANO LASH, violently betrayed them. Valance's team barely escaped with their lives. He never thought he'd face his old mentor ever again...until...
Keeps up pace well with some great action. The ending is set up really well!
Punisher: Soviet #5

• Frank and Val have fought side-by-side against not only a Russian mob but also against the tide of history and these issues will make you see The Punisher (and possibly the world) differently than you do now.
