This issue was good. The last few have been pretty bad so it's good to have a good to see it deliver an entertaining story.
In the aftermath of the tragic battle against Frozen Charlotte, Hulk pays a visit to STRANGE ACADEMY, seeking the help of BROTHER VOODOO in saving Charlie's immortal soul! But when the task calls for a one-way descent into an exorcist's ancient prison in search of the immortal FLESH-WEAVER, is the price too high even for the Incredible Hulk?

This issue was the usual for the series. It was fine. Not much more.
Lucas and Harmony may be reunited, but things are acutely strained between them, as Harmony interferes in a way Lucas can't tolerate.
In the midst of a growing apocalyptic panic among the populace, Lucas and Harmony are far from alone as they encounter yet another group of living people that aren't quite what they seem...
Did I actually have a decent time reading this? I did. It was a decent Spider-Man conflicted type story.
A BLOOD HUNT TIE-IN!
Vampires are running rampant through New York City and while the Avengers are caught in the middle, someone has to take care of the citizens of the Big Apple. That person? Yep, Spider-Man. But if only it were that simple. Things never are and this issue leads directly into Spider-Man's larger role in BLOOD HUNT!

It took an expected turn with where it went. I'm still not sure where it's all going, but it was great to see the two series come together.
THE HIT MINISERIES CONTINUES!
After an ill-advised attempt to "consult" with the convicted serial killer Odell Watts, Johannes Vale gets an unexpected offer of help in his twisted odyssey from none other than the avant-garde artist Ada Avanax!
Grippingly written by writer DAN WATTERS (HOME SICK PILOTS, Loki) with hauntingly atmo...
I found this to be a solid issue. It does have some questionable moments, but I have faith that Tynion will play into them well.
Siobhan Silk joined the FBI to help make sense of the world. Then it all fell apart. Her partner is dead, her boss is focused on the wrong pieces of the puzzle, and a ruthless killer remains on the loose, recruiting others to her sick cause. PH34R must be stopped... but can Agent Silk survive their rematch?
2 steps forward and 3 steps back. I have to move to trades because reading this in singles for 20 some issues to find out what happened is agony. But even then I doubt it will improve it. Avoid it if you must but escape it? You can't. I'll wait for the arc conclusion to make a full judgement. I have to say the FF parts were good and Romita Jr. is as he's been so far so it's good/quirky in his usuamore
Witness what brought Peter Parker and Norman Osborn together.
Your opinion of who the hero is and who the villain is may end up at least blurred...

What makes someone turn to crime-especially in a modern, pandemic-riddled dystopia?
Danny, a seemingly mundane young man lost in escapism, with a spiraling lack of control over his life, witnesses something during a delivery job that will change him forever, turning things as dark as the black, crocodile skin boots that he can't take his e...
GARTH ENNIS RETURNS TO MARVEL - WITH NICK FURY AND FRANK CASTLE AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN!
It's 1971, there is a war raging in Vietnam, and Nick Fury has been captured by the Viet Cong. At this moment, they don't quite understand that they have in their possession a man who knows enough secrets to damage the United States beyond comprehension. The ...
I had a decent time with all the stories except the turk one. Even the little comic strips were pretty good. Even though I enjoyed, it didn't really wow me into feeling great about a random 10 dollar issue.
SPECIAL OVERSIZED ISSUE MARKING 60 YEARS OF DAREDEVIL! A dragnet is closing around Matt Murdock, A.K.A. DAREDEVIL! Police on both sides of the law are hunting him, something vicious with a deep connection to Matt's very soul is hunting his friends and, in the midst of that chaos, an old foe with the blood of Matt's closest allies on his hands retur...
Lots of talking. Nothing really happens, but it's a pretty good conversation.
WHO IS THE GREEN GOBLIN?
Peter Parker's secret life starts fraying the edges of his personal life! J. Jonah Jameson and Ben Parker's pursuit of truth - or, at least, the news - stirs unrest with the world at large... And now that Spider-Man may not have to operate alone, the real work of rebuilding this corrupt world can begin!
Rated T
I really like the idea of the story. It's very intriguing on what they are trying to pull off. It's just done in a way that hinders the effectiveness. I can't quite explain it. It comes off as confusing in some parts when it really shouldn't be.
WHO IS TRAITOR X?
In the aftermath of the greatest betrayal in X-Men history, the Quiet Council in exile must act. They have a plan. Can anyone, or anything, survive the experience? As the Krakoan Age barrels toward its conclusion, the two series that are one converge on an act that will live in infamy!
Rated T+
The art was great. Or maybe I just think it was because JrJr has been not my style. Either way, this issue felt alright to read. It wasn't great, but I was entertained.
Peter Parker vs. Ben Reilly! Spider-Man finally gets a rematch! Meanwhile, what is going on with Norman Osborn?! Only two issues left until AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50!
Rated T
It's a decent companion to Rise of the Powers of X #4. It just tells a story running at the same time as that issue. It's decent. I like that one a little better, but this was still pretty decent.
IMMORTAL MEANS FOREVER!
The fight for Krakoa's future begins here! Since RISE OF THE POWERS OF X began, there have been a few mysteries unrevealed! Now writer Kieron Gillen fills in the gap of what happened between the end of IMMORTAL X-MEN and the beginning of the end of the Krakoan Age!

I didn't really like this one as much as the first two. It does show promise with quite the cliffhanger, but some of the stuff you really have to suspend belief and it just felt like a bit if a chore to read.
As freedom and democracy flourish, the animals work together to set up a steady stream of donations for the pound, and all seems well for a time.
However, tensions build as the fairness of the current system is called into question, and when Piggy the dog decides to run for election, he does something unthinkable that shocks all of the ani...
Will we finally get answers next issue. Just has been a lot of questions and not much substance. Somehow I keep coming back and am intrigued but give me something!
End of Story Arc.
Will Theresa discover where Dom and Birdie have disappeared to and solve the mysteries of Project Jackknife and her own traumatic past? While Birdie and Dom continue to transport the entity, they encounter a roadblock on their speedrun that might end their journey...
It was decent. Not sure where the high grades are coming from. It's a pretty straight forward uneventful comic that has promise and told a decent start to a story.
Unyielding wildlife photographer Brynne Brautigan, isolated in the remote cold of Baffin Island, sees something she can't unsee.
An argument, followed by an outburst of intense violence between two nearby climbers-did she just witness a murder?
In a frantic search for the truth, Brynne discovers just what she's looking for, but little does ...
Solid issue. Was a little more typical Captain America talking about fascism type stuff than other issues, but still was a great visual experience.
America and democracy are under attack! Can THE AVENGERS of tomorrow save a country from itself, as their greatest enemy dismantles everything CAPTAIN AMERICA holds dear? It's a battle decades in the making, and no one is safe!

It was one of the better Fall of the House of X issues. It's still not perfect, but I atleast felt the urgency in this issue. Even if for a few moments.
MY ALLY, MY ENEMY!
They say a wounded animal can be the most dangerous kind of animal to face. As the fight between the mutants and Orchis reaches a deadly pitch, a startling revelation rocks the X-Men to their core. The two series that are one come together in one horrible betrayal as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!
Rated T+
It's good enough to feel entertaing, but lacks the emotion to make me really care.
THE NEW GHOST RIDER!
There's a new Spirit of Vengeance in town and he's looking to run the place. There will be no stopping THIS rider. The mystery of Johnny Blaze's disappearance continues!
Rated T+
Entertaining but almost felt like a cliche comic book final fight.
SERIES FINALE
The gruesome saga of Rose and the Girl Who Wouldn't Burn comes to its thrilling conclusion in this EPIC, DOUBLE-LENGTH FINAL ISSUE of KILL YOUR DARLINGS.
I liked the fight between Rabble and Miles. I do think a lot of the issues in this series feel similar. Lots of action with a lot of talking while fighting. I do like Shift though so the ending was fire.
FALLOUT FROM ISSUE #300!
The climactic events of issue #300 have FOREVER CHANGED Miles Morales! But a SPIDER-MAN's job is never done. And in fact, learning to live with the consequences of his actions might be the greatest job of Miles' life. Who will survive? What has the battle cost him? And what does the future look like for Miles Morales: ...
It was entertaining. Not sure what some of the side storylines are leading to. I also think the whole She-Rat part was just not needed.
"ARACHNOBATICS" CONTINUES!
Surprising anyone who knows Peter Parker (but probably not those who know Miles Morales), the Spider-Men have been keeping up their weekly meetup at the Coffee Bean! Sadly, that hasn't given them any insight into the machinations of the Jackal!!! And what do all these mysterious interludes add up to?

Great brick laying work by Hickman and a very enjoyable issue from all angles. Except the final reveal which I'm all for if we get a different wrinkle on that old rivalry. Peter Parker as an older guy trying to learn to be Spider-Man was never on my list of books and from Hickman of all people but here we are. Checchetto with an absolute perfect outing on art. This must have taken a lot of time tomore

It's an enjoyable read, but definitely is the weakest of the series. Deep Cuts has been a wonderful series. Each story has its own merits.

Worldwide. 1977. The Great Unknown embark on their first world tourâ"but as tensions in the group begin to rise, might they have already played their final set? Team DEEP CUTS is joined by TOBY CYPRESS (THE GRAVEDIGGERS UNION, Electric Century) for the blistering miniseries finale!
Another good issue of The One Hand. It's a strong series that continues to make me invested in the mystery.
