Picked this one up randomly and was really pleased at how easily I could follow the action with no other context.

Spider-Man 2099 #5
Spider-Man falls under (literal) fire with the Public Eye, a terrorizing group of thugs that claim to fight in the public's defense. But who exactly does the Public Eye work for? And who is upholding the law in the crooked streets of New York?
Fantastic ending to a fantastic series!

Captain Carter #5
THE END OF THE LINE!
Captain Carter's powerful enemies are closing in, painting her as dangerous and out of touch with reality. But Peggy's mind has never been clearer - and now that she knows what she's up against, she's going to put an end to it...even if it costs her everything.

It's a cool little side adventure and overview of Strange's encounters with Death. It felt like it was missing something, but I can't put my finger on what. I like what it added to the Infinity War main event

Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme #45
After Galactus' ship is destroyed, Death takes Doctor Strange on a tour of his family member's deaths.
I'm so excited about where this series is going to go. I was digging it already and then that last couple of pages were just AHHHH so good!

The Variants #1
What would it really be like to meet an alternate version of yourself, another you who had made different choices and lived a completely different life as a result? That's the question facing Jessica Jones, as what seemed like a routine investigation instead has her encountering other incarnations of herself from across the Multiverse. Can Jessica ...
I love seeing Cap working with modern colleagues. I love a big conspiracy that begins to be unraveled and I love big reveals on the last page. This one had it all!

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #2
FIND THE KEY. CRACK THE CODE.
Steve Rogers follows a trail of coded breadcrumbs to Germany, where an elusive organization is making bold and deadly moves, while Bucky Barnes' own investigation leads him to the high rollers tables in Madripoor. Thousands of miles apart with no backup, will Steve and Bucky find what they're looking for, or are th...
Whoa. This one ended in a way that I did NOT see coming. It was also cool to see the team come together and use all of their individual talents to solve the mystery!

Captain Carter #4
CAPTAIN CARTER ON THE RUN!
Peggy and her dwindling list of allies just became prime targets for a sinister group operating at the highest levels of British society. Before she was Captain Carter, Peggy was Agent Carter...but can she rely on decades-old spy training to keep her alive in the modern world?

This book was so cool. I'm loving this series so much and that last page opened up my imagination to all the possibilities of what could happen going forward.

Savage Avengers #3
JOURNEY TO THE TEMPLE OF THE BEAST!
Banding together the deadliest warriors of the Marvel Universe, Conan and the Savage Avengers have never been accustomed to playing defense. But after being hunted across the Hyborian Age by DEATHLOK THE DESTROYER, only one thing's for certain - our heroes aren't running anymore. Armed with a death-defying pl...
This series gets better and better with each issue. Love the introduction of Tony. Love love love Harley working with Lizzie. I found all of the interactions incredibly compelling. Fantastic series.

Captain Carter #3
ENTER IRON MAN!
Captain Carter has plenty on her hands already, wrestling with a betrayal from the very organization she thought she could trust. Is Tony Stark here to help? Or will he be just another complication at a time when Peggy's life is full of them?

I really enjoyed this. It felt like it connected the world of 1940's Cap with present day and then challenged the entire system of beliefs that he stood for. It was a robust length that I was really happy for because it allowed the story to roll out at a leisurely pace. Looking forward to more!

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #1
"The shield isn't what you think. It's not your symbol. It's theirs."
The shield is one of the most iconic images in the world. It stands for hope, justice and the protection of the innocent. It also holds a secret, undiscovered until now, that will change the way Steve Rogers views the 20th century...and how he chooses to fight in the 21st.
This was very entertaining with just a hint of unhinged weirdness that added to the experience quite nicely

Excalibur #51
A crisis of Jurassic proportions! Excalibur heads to the alternate world known as Earth-99476 - its Savage Land, to be precise!

Black Widow (2020)
Best-selling, Eisner-nominated writer Kelly Thompson (CAPTAIN MARVEL, STAR) and rising star artist Elena Casagrande (Catwoman) launch a new BLACK WIDOW series that changes everything! Natasha Romanoff has been a spy almost as long as she's been alive. And she's never stopped running, whether she was working for the good guys...or the bad. But Natas...

The Marvels (2021)
ALL-NEW, ONGOING SERIES!
Kurt Busiek (MARVELS, Astro City) is back, with the biggest, wildest, most sprawling series ever to hit the Marvel Universe, telling stories that span the decades and range from cosmic adventure to intense human drama, from the street-level to the cosmic, starring literally anyone from Marvel's very first heroes to the...
I enjoyed this one quite a lot too. It's cool to see Peggy adjusting to the modern times and realizing that the government isn't all that it claims to be.

"WOMAN OUT OF TIME" CONTINUES!
Captain Carter is back, and now the whole world knows it! Reeling from her new celebrity status, Peggy teams up with S.T.R.I.K.E. to investigate the sudden resurgence of Hydra, but something doesn't feel quite right.

A reality where Agent Peggy Carter took the Super-Soldier Serum is turned upside down when the World War II hero is pulled from the ice where she was lost in action decades before. Peggy struggles to find her footing in a modern world that's gotten a lot more complicated - cities are louder, technology is smarter and ene...
This is an exciting book with a great voice and an excellent way of getting us into the action while still taking a leisurely pace introducing us to the characters. Can't wait to read more!

This was exciting and fun, even just on its own, without reading the preceding or subsequent issues. The only minor eye-rolly part couldn't be helped at the time. Carnage's sass is very very 90's (...NOT!!) which is funny in a way but kind of subverts the terror he would normally invoke

Amazing Spider-Man #362
Needing all the help he can get to take out Carnage, Spider-Man recruits good friend Johnny Storm. But will Venom be a willing ally too? Spidey and the Human Torch go the deserted island where Venom lies in wait. Will Eddie Brock be the key to eliminating Carnage?
Good start to a story. I was dipping in without knowing much of the backstory and I didn't feel lost at any point. Compelling characters and exciting action that wasn't a bunch of the same thing over and over.
