Peter Parker: Spider-Man #156.1 may not be among the worst one-and-done stories ever told, but the comic was just bland, boring and completely unnecessary. Even if you're a hardcore Spider-Man fan, I can't muster up the gumption to even half-heartedlyrecommend this title. Skip it.

What we have here is a quick romp into the darker corners of theMarvel universe, dressed up as a secret story fromSpider-Man's past. It's by no means perfect but it's good enough to warrant a light recommendation.

Web of Spider-Man #129.2 is solid conclusion that plays up the hilarious side of Peter Parker's past in a fun way. It's not perfect but with a $2.99cover price it's well worth your time and money. Recommended.

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. And to be frank the wrong author is writing this epilogue and for that reason it feels downright disjointed at best. There are a few good elements but not enough to save this literary tangent. Not recommended.

Samurai Jack #5 is a rather disappointing outing with minor redeemable qualities. Sadly it does not come recommended.

Dejah Thoris and the Green Men of Mars #4 has some hurdles to overcome before it's worthy of your time but I'm confident that the team behind this can do it but for now this release does not earn a recommendation.

Red Team #4is a product of an overly used methodology of the corrupt cop epidemic that feels like it needs to be more than what it currently is. Not recommended.

Star Trek #13 is a rather boring read that may or may not appeal to fans out there, and despite the art I just can't muster up the gumption to recommend this release.

Star Trek #14 is has a solid enough story that lacks the necessary imagination to justify its existence. For that reason this issue does not earn arecommendation.

Vampirella Annual #2 is a comic book that offers two somewhat entertaining outings but may only be worth your time if you're already a hardcore fan. For that reason alone this comic book does not earn recommendation.

Cage Hero #1 has some good moments but for the most part this first release feels poorly executed. The art is worth looking at and the dialogue can be sort of enjoyable if seen in the right light, but as the end product currentlyresidesI can't recommend this one.

New 52: Futures End #5 is a mediocre entry that, for me, diminishes some of the good built up so far. It's not a killer but it did leave me underwhelmed as this comic comes lightly recommended for only the hardcore followers.

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.

Still enough is done right to keep the book on track for its date with destiny in November.
