It may seem like I've rubberstamped 8s for this run in my ratings, but I honestly haven't. This run is consistently solid, and I'm sad that it's only got two issues left. Alyssa Wong clearly had an idea for their run that they went for 100%, and that confidence really paid off.
NEW STATUS QUO!
Carol's connection to Yuna Yang is shattered - and the Undone is still coming! Captain Marvel reaches a point of no return!
Rated T+
Just filler
Spinning directly out of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #49, Spidey's role in BLOOD HUNT becomes clear and it involves, of course, MORBIUS! That's right, the Web-Slinger's main vampiric villain Michael Morbius is involved in the big vampire play and Peter has to figure out if he needs to take out his fanged foe or SAVE HIM?!

...AND FOREVER!
Our secrets, sinister or otherwise, are over. X-MEN FORVER ends with a question - after everything, do we have Hope or not? From between the pages of IMMORTAL X-MEN and RISE OF THE POWERS OF X, the final secrets of the Krakoan Age are revealed here!
Rated T+
If the Birds of Prey have one mission, it's protect Barbara Gordon at all costs, and that mission is...not going great. Dinah and her team search for Barbara in this strange new world that seems specifically designed to trip them up. Many mysteries lurk in the dark of this world, and some of them don't even want to kill you...probably.
Whoops, fixed.
I personally was hesitant on Kelly Sue Deconnick/Kelly Thompson run on captain marvel but I was pleasantly surprised. I'll check on this run when I have the time based on your reviews.
