I have faith in McKay based on his phenomenal run on Moon Knight. The new villains are very original and interesting. The art is awesome and although there still seems to be something missing to this story, I am here for the patient ride.
Avengers #3
The first Tribulation Event strikes the Earth! The Avengers fly into action as the Ashen Combine - a collection of the Multiverse's greatest monsters - descends from the Impossible City to follow their respective appetites. Cityslayers all, pursuing the assassination of metropolitan areas for sport!

Yeah, I’m out!! While I’ve enjoyed Silk in previous volumes, this miniseries is boring. I don’t even care to know how it ends.
Silk #3
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!
A powerful, ancient witch is draining the life force out of young people!
Silk has to figure out how to stop her before she claims another victim.
But Silk doesn't know that SHE is the witch's next target!

I didn’t enjoy Donny Cates’ run at all either the fractured psyche of the Hulk and the whole spaceship nonsense. But, this is true to form and Philip Kennedy Johnson has caught me hook, line and sinker.
Incredible Hulk #2
The Mother of Horrors demands her freedom! And in order to make it happen, her most dutiful servant - a terrifying monstrosity who calls herself the Eldest - seeks to reclaim that wayward son of monsters: the Hulk himself. Now every eldritch horror and primordial being has its eyes set on the Jade Giant! Meanwhile, on their path to peace and isolat...
I have never been an Ultimate Universe fan. I only read Ultimate Spider Man and enjoyed it thoroughly. However, Hickman has made this latest return to the Ultimate Universe very interesting and I’m excited to see where it all leads. Also, Hitch’s art is a huge plus.
Ultimate Invasion #2
The Maker plans to make sure Earth's Mightiest Heroes never become heroes at all. And then he can reshape the universe into exactly what he wants it to be...

Wow! I’m blown away! I haven’t given a 10 to an X-Men comic in years, much less an an X-Men event. But this one-shot was unbelievable in story, art and pacing. I never felt that the issue was padded due to its huge 78 page count. I just kept turning the page and shock after shock after shock!! This is a true event and The Fall of X looks to be a game-changer as the Krakoan age comes to a shoc more
X-Men: Hellfire Gala 2023 #1
THE FALL OF X BEGINS HERE! The Hellfire Gala is always the biggest event of the season...but this year's will change everything for Krakoa. What is meant to be mutantkind's biggest night becomes their biggest nightmare as the Fall of X begins! All your favorite X-Men are going to be left reeling after this one - shocking revelations, stunning betra...
I’m really enjoying this new story arc as it’s taken T’Challa to new places not only geographically but as a character. Christopher Allen’s art reminds me of Scott Kolins and that is a huge compliment. Two issues in, I’m along for the ride.
Black Panther #2
Who is the mysterious Beisa? Delve deeper into Wakanda as we - and T'Challa - have never seen her! No longer in the Golden City, T'Challa goes deep undercover to try to understand the heart of this city that feels it has been forgotten by the Black Panther. And some people aren't happy with the rumors that the Black Panther has been skulking around...
The issue felt rushed but a lot of potential to this new series. I enjoyed the art as It was very cinematic. I’ll give it another couple of issues before I decide to keep reading or drop the series.
Blade #1
Marvel's slickest vampire hunter returns in a brand new ongoing by Bryan Hill (KILLMONGER) and Elena Casagrande (BLACK WIDOW)! True evil is patient. And a dark, ancient power has been simmering quietly for centuries...and when Blade himself is the one to unknowingly unleash it, Marvel's entire supernatural underworld will come out of hiding to dema...
I’m officially done with the Beast storyline. It’s gone on way too long.
X-Force #42
THE GHOST CALENDARS! BEAST's epic long game plays out in the only way it could - with NIMROD'S ultimate plan successful, HANK McCOY survives and thrives! But what will this mean for mutantkind, and does X-FORCE still have time to stop it?
Rated T+
I didn’t enjoy this story at all!! Not a fan of the droids. I enjoyed Sabe and the Handmaidens but my patience is limited. Very close to dropping this title from my reading list in Marvel Unlimited. I give it one more issue.
Star Wars: Darth Vader #36
DEATH BY DROID! With his Force powers still out of control, Darth Vader's more powerful and vulnerable than ever before... Which makes this the perfect time for him to be BETRAYED by one of his most trusted associates (and astoundingly, it's not APHRA or OCHI)! Featuring the return of TRIPLE-ZERO and BEE TEE - and the deadliest team up of droids Va...
After several story arcs that were not to my liking, the Doc Ock story arc has been a slow return to exciting storytelling. Looking forward to next issue after this issue’s cliffhanger.
Amazing Spider-Man #29
eaten and bloody, with his back against the wall, has Spider-Man finally met his match?
Rated T
Jed McKay has turned Moon Knight into one of my favorite titles. I never had any interest in the character before and never read any of Moon Knight’s previous series until I read Moon Knight #1 and I’ve been hooked ever since. 25 issues in, this series is awesome. The rogue’s gallery needs some work but with the introduction (to me at least) of Black Spectre, this could be a keeper.
Moon Knight #25
MOON KNIGHT'S PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE, LEADING INTO HIS FIRST EVENT SERIES!
The past comes back to bedevil Moon Knight as he pursues his latest enemy, someone once familiar and new. From grim New York nights to the blazing sun of Alexandria days, Moon Knight hunts for answers among the graves of Hart Island while haunted by the last mission o...
Probably the best X-Men comic series that I’m currently reading right now.
Immortal X-Men #13
LISTEN CLOSELY. Time is running out. Fall is here. Doug Ramsey is the voice of Krakoa. It's time for Krakoa to speak.
Rated T+
This issue started out exciting but I felt the writers sped through everything in one issue. I do love the close ties it has with what is ocurrirng in Darth Vader. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t enjoy the issue.
Star Wars #36
DISASTER LOOMS FOR THE REBEL ALLIANCE! With the discovery that the Empire is building a second DEATH STAR, the Rebels are on the verge of despair. But LEIA ORGANA has devised an impossible mission to remind both the Rebels and the galaxy how to hope. It's the FALCON's time to shine, as the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy flies into the belly of ...
This issue seems like a placeholder before the long awaited Hellfire Gala. Plus, with so many plot lines happening, I feel like I’m reading a poor man’s version of the Chris Claremont era. The Krakoa era is overstaying its welcome and I for one can’t wait to move on and hope the X-Men return to greatness.
X-Men #24
POGG UR-POGG FOR HIRE! Hired for the dirtiest of jobs, a deadly mercenary comes crashing into the X-Men right at their most vulnerable moment! But not just any mercenary - finally, the breakout fan-favorite from X OF SWORDS, Pogg Ur-Pogg, returns!

Al Ewing continues to do an excellent job on making Venmo interesting and fun. I never thought Venmo would be one of my favorite series.
