But that also means that fans are about to finally start getting some of the answers we've been looking for, as well as a few more questions to throw into the mix.

Lucy Claire: Redemption is a dramatic and beautiful start to a brand new thrilling series.

Steeple #4 is a fun and interesting issue, full of character development and questions.

Gen:LOCK #2 has found a way to keep fans invested by dangling a mystery right in our faces. That, combined with some brilliant action and cute moments from our characters, is more than enough to keep many fans reading. Or at least, it's enough to keep this fan dedicated to the comics! Only time will tell where this series is going to take us in the long run.

Ghosted in L.A. #6 was another intriguing addition to this story. It feels like we're slowly learning about this house and the ghosts stuck in it. And yet, there's clearly so much more to this story. Here's hoping that Daphne starts getting us some answers soon.

Nomen Omen #3 was another brilliantly styled issue in which Becky's life is turned upside down. But at least she's starting to get some answers.

Thor: The Worthy #1 is an interestingly-timed issue when you consider everything that has happened and will be happening in Thor's plot arc. Seeing all the different Thor mantles and characters in one issue like this was fun, and might even leave people wondering what will be next for Thor.

Web of Black Widow #4 brings Natasha up against one of her greatest allies. But at least it results in a brilliant fight for the readers.

Wonder Woman: Come Back to Me #6 concludes this story, and provides plenty of fighting and determination from Diana.

Batgirl #41 brings Barbara Gordon a whole slew of challenges that she never expected to face. The story is getting more and more tense.

Batman Beyond #38 was a fascinating issue, one that simultaneously danced around the issue while addressing the elephant in the room. This new Batwoman is a tough lady " but she's also not as experienced as the original. At least the fights she's getting into are fun and exciting. And that has left us eager to see the next issue in the series.

Crone #2 continues the tale of Bloody Bliss, while also being part cautionary tale for readers.

Ghost-Spider #4 was another fun issue in this series. The tension has been building for four issues now, leaving fans wondering when it's all going to burst. But we're going to appreciate Gwen's small (ish) break in the meantime.

Ironheart #12 is the sendoff that fans deserved from this series. It's a chance to say goodbye, all while seeing Riri finally accept herself for who she is.

Lumberjanes #68 was another exceptional addition to the series, with one adorable and endearing twist at the end that proves how inclusive this series really is.

Valkyrie #5 was a brilliant addition to Jane's tale. I love where they're taking her series. It's been an intense and fascinating ride so far, and here's hoping it doesn't end anytime soon. This issue had the perfect balance of heavy and humor, which is really essential for this type of story.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #4 may be the second to last issue in this miniseries, but that hasn't slowed Gwen down any. If anything, she seems to be upping the ante in regards to her antics. This issue took her quest for relevancy to a whole new level " and the end result was something as fantastic as it was insane.

Something Is Killing the Children #3 was another chilling addition to this series. I'm glad they took the time to establish more of the world and plot before throwing us back into the deep end. Now we have a better understanding of what is wrong"and thus how dangerous this hunt is going to be.

Spider-Verse #2 was an interesting follow-up to what was an impressive introduction to this miniseries. They're clearly laying the groundwork for something else here, all while moving forward the plot of corruption. Pulling the concept of multiverses to the forefront was a good call, as it allowed for some open discussion amongst the main characters. That isn't something you get to see every day and made the issue one worth checking out.

Captain Marvel #12 was a heavy-hitting issue, one that wasn't afraid to pull punches. Literally. There's a whole lot more going on behind the scenes in this plot, as it's already begun to hint at. And I for one, cannot wait to see what lies ahead.

Crowded #10 was a bit of a diversion from the main plot. And yet it built up so much, proving that there are a whole lot more fans need to learn in this series. It also went a long way in pushing forward character development, all while building the tension. I can't wait to see what the next issue has in store, given everything that has been happening.

Deadpool #1 is a fast-paced and action-packed first issue to Deadpool's latest series. It brings with it a few surprises, in the form of walk-on characters. But it also has plenty of memorable new monsters to showcase, and in general, simply has a lot of fun being exactly what it is.

Firefly #11 brings us some beautiful artwork alongside a shocking twist or two.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #4 brought us Gwen at her best, and it is full of insane and quirky moments, as well as some excellent artwork and writing.

Once & Future #4 is a dramatic continuation to the series, full of brilliant artwork and dark twists.

The Marked #2 was a dark and deeply concerning issue, for a variety of reasons. Readers will now have a full understanding of how dangerous magic can be. And why it should never be allowed to get into the wrong hands.

Wonder Woman Come Back to Me #5 brings us closer to knowing the truth, while giving us plenty of fights and twists to enjoy.

Farmhand #11 went out of its way to build up towards something larger. We don't yet know how explosive this plot is going to get. This issue left us in a desperate state. We know that things are going to get worse before things get better. But now we know how few avenues seem to be available.

Sea of Stars #5 was another brilliant read from this creative team. I know that this issue concludes the end of the first plot arc. But it still feels like there's still so much more to Gil and Kadyn's tale. The real question is"how far are they going to push this new boundary? And of course, there's always the question of how long the authors want to keep writing. Here's hoping we get several more issues before the end.

Big Hero 6 The Series #1 is a fun and family-friendly series, full of little quirks and a fascinating look into the mind of Fred.

Family Tree #1 is a dark and disturbing introduction to a unique series. One that is sure to send chills down your spine.

Runaways #27 was another interesting issue, and it seems like that foreboding feeling has only gotten worse with time.

Steeple #3 is the oddest issue of the series so far, but it is full of comical and interesting moments.

Strayed #4 is another beautiful issue, full of plot development and tension building.

Doctor Mirage #4 was a terrifying, moving, and powerful issue. It upped the ante, putting Doctor Mirage into even greater risks, all while slowly revealing the truth of the world she is trapped in. It's been a whirlwind of an adventure, and there is still more left to this tale.

Folklords #1 was an interesting start to what is sure to be a fascinating and memorable miniseries. It has proven to be fast-paced and witty, pushing Ansel's story to a nearly comical extreme. It will truly be interesting to see where this series goes, given how many issues it has left.

Ghosted in L.A. #5 was another delightful addition to this series. It has a strong sense of charm, thanks to its heavily character-driven plot. The series is like no other out there, and is oddly refreshing because of it.

Yondu #1 presented a character unashamed about who and what he was. He wasn't toned down at all"which might surprise any fans expecting a Yondu from the movies. But it certainly is making for a dramatic read. And it will be well suited for any comic fan looking for a bit of a change.

Crone #1 was a strong start to a new series, one that subverts all expectations of what it means to be a warrior.

Gen:LOCK #1 is going to be an issue that lives up to fans' expectations of the series, though perhaps we're all still reeling from DC picking up the series (along with RWBY, for those that are curious). As a fan desperate to see more of the series, I couldn't be more excited by the comic book version coming out. I'll gladly take anything they're willing to give us, and I imagine I'm not the only one feeling that way.

Marvel Action: Captain Marvel #3 was a fun and adorable issue, full of Flerkins and heroes.

Nomen Omen #2 is a visually stunning issue, one that continues the mystery of this world.

Wasted Space #11 is a tumultuous read, one that fans of the series are not going to want to miss out on.

Wasted Space #11 was an issue absolutely worth the wait. Though it has, admittedly, made me a bit anxious to get my hands on the next issue (come on, Wasted Space #12!) But that should speak to how much fun this issue was to read.

Web of Black Widow #3 is another dynamic addition to Widow's story. This is a prime example of how complex her stories can become.

B.b. free #1 was a great start to a new series. It was emotional and intelligent, and it wasn't afraid to allow subtlety to tell certain elements of the story. And let's not forget the conclusion of this issue, which will leave readers anxious to get their hands on the second issue.

Basketful of Heads #1 was a fascinating beginning for this series. It wasn't as dark or as disturbing as I expected"but there's little doubt in my mind that those elements are on their way. I also have no doubt that we're going to pay for our emotional investment in the characters.

Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 was exactly the goodbye we needed. It has a bittersweet plot and bright panels full of our favorite characters.

Ironheart #11 brings with it an emotional set of surprises, alongside some very dramatic poses from our favorite heroines.

Runaways #26 gives us a few shocks, while also building up towards several larger plots.

Black Canary: Ignite is a fun peek into the backstory of the one and only Dinah Lance, full of bright artwork and characters.

It's sad to have to say goodbye to a beloved series. But at least Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 made it a bit more bearable by giving the characters the send-off they all deserved. And okay, it does help to know that John Allison has already started a new project (Steeple).

Batgirl #40 is an intelligent and foreboding tale, pitting Oracle and Batgirl against each other.

Batman Beyond #37 was a dramatic issue, and that's probably the understatement of the year. The appearance of another classic hero in this timeline is highly exciting, especially given everything else that is going on.

Doctor Mirage #3 was a surreal masterpiece. The artwork and the plot combined to leave the reader unsure of the truth. And the end result was something luminous and vibrant. I already can't wait to get my hands on the next issue, and I know I'm not going to be alone in feeling that way.

Fearless #4 lives up to its name, giving us bold plots and brilliant artwork.

Ghost-Spider #3 did an excellent job of telling us three stories (perhaps four) all at the same time. And while we can assume that at some point those plots are going to merge, we don't yet know how. And I, for one, am looking forward to seeing it happen.

Lumberjanes #67 brings with it a fun-filled plot, bright colors, and oh yeah, let's not forget a battle between two goddesses.

Rat Queens #19 is perhaps the most emotional and shocking issue of the series. Name an emotion, and there's a good chance this issue is going to compel you to feel that way at some point. It does make me wonder what we can expect from the next issue!

Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle #4 brings with it a new tale, some interesting subtext, and absolutely stunning colors.

Valkyrie #4 was a dramatic issue, quickly and effortlessly establishing a new threat and plot for Jane Foster. And it wasn't afraid to put other characters in the line of fire in order to increase the emotional investment of its readers.

Wonder Woman Come Back to Me #4 is satisfying in that it finally is giving us answers to what is happening. While the artwork transition in this issue was somewhat jarring, it was overall quite good.
