A Voice in the Dark #7 is simply superb entertainment at its finest. It feels like an extremely high point in the franchise that embraces its crescendo status right before this opening volume ends by its own terms. To sum up: it's not perfect but it gets so close that this is without a doubt a must own for any discerning fanboy or fangirl.

There's no way else to put it: this issue represents exactly what this franchise needed. After being gone from comic stands for a while I have to admit peeling through this book brought a smile to my face, as some seriously worthwhile elements successfully caped off this re-imagining.

Lobo #1 has a handful of moments that should spark interest but there are narrative issues that need to be worked out. However for the most part the creative team does enough right to skate by with a light recommendation from me.

Mirror's Edge: Exordium #4 pushes the narrative forward but it fails to carry the excitement that the earlieroutings enjoyed. The road toward the next console iteration feels on track but this issue came offmore like filler then a point beyond halfway which was disappointing. But still strong dialogueand solid kinetic energy will keep this one on your pull-list.

Seduction of the Innocent #1 is not a perfect launch by any stretch but it has that right amount of good intent to get me to come back for more. In other words: if you want a crime noir drama to read then this might be up your alley so by all means give it a shot.

New 52: Futures End #3 is not a groundbreaking example of why this industry remains relevant. It no doubt contains some off moments and worthwhile ones as this comic book skates by with a light recommendation.

New 52: Futures End #8offered intrigue, especially with the mystery surrounding a maskedSuperman, but it did fall into a few narrative pitfalls. In other words it had flaws but not enough to wholly ruin it. Recommended.

Uncanny X-Men Special #1 may not be the cream of the comic store crop but for fans it's the start of an adventure that might just turn into something really fun. Recommended.

Witchblade #184 is a sturdy enough arc finisher that sets up the series finale but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed by it. Seeing as how its villain might be the last bad guy Sara Pezzini takes down before she leaves my pull-list it all makes me, as a fan, wish we had a more potent rival in the mix. Still enough is done right to keep the book on track for its date with destiny in November.

By the end of Amazing Spider-Man #696 I was slightly underwhelmed by the cliffhanger, but there were enough good moments in this issue to let it squeak by with a very light recommendation.

Avengers vs X-Men #12 is a solid issue that finishes the established formula of the series but ultimately fails to go big in it's conclusion. In the end the superheroes argued, they fought each other, eventually found common ground and they battled to win the day. And that's about it. Despite any narrative misgivings as it relates to the event as a whole, the end product of this release still squeaks by with a light recommendation.

AVX: Consequences #3 is an issue that's dripping with unnecessary fluff, but to be honest the creative team handles it well enough that you almost forget that what you're reading is circling the same ground as the previous two outings. But this comic book at the end of the day succeeds at entertaining its audience and for that reason this releasesqueaksby with a recommendation.

AVX: Consequences #4 is a lackluster continuation that explores the future of the mutant civilization with some truly mediocre scenes. It does have its moments and for that reason alone it squeaks by with a very light recommendation.

Guardians of the Galaxy #20 is an outing with a story that honestly needed to be told, but it could have been done in one issue instead of three.
