Planet Size X-Menbrings an exciting future, but suffers from having its most exciting reveals spoiled already by Marvel's marketing and previous issues in the Hellfire Gala event.

Widow and Cap have fun banter, but the book feels less like a Cap book overall and more like an Avengers story.

'Children of the Atom' is a new take on classic X-Men tropes, and it's only getting better with every issue.

Rod Reis' art makes every page come to life with a beautiful gloss. Ayala's writing continues to shine, capturing the voices of all these characters quite well.

If you've ever wanted to get into thePower Pack,this comic is a great place to start and if you're a longtime fan of the series, this mini does the characters justice. It may just be the most wholesome book on the market right now.

Marauders#19 doesn't have any shocking revelations or major implications for the future of the series, but its charm lies in its simplicity and how it uses its lesser-focused characters. All in all, it's a fun ride and a standard fare issue for theMaraudersline. As usual, Caselli's art is the real star ofMarauders, making every page absolutely gorgeous and bursting with life.

The issue is standard fare for what to expect from Rowell and Genolet'sRunaways quality-wise -- if you've enjoyed the series thus far, you'll likely enjoy this installment. Though the story moving forward seems poised to only become more and more interesting.

Undoubtedly,Captain America#28 will have its detractors because of its political nature, but that's what makes the book work so well.Captain Americahas always been political -- it's the perfect title to make a statement like this, and Coates was the perfect writer to do it. The lesson here isn't just important, it's necessary and incredibly timely.

X-Men#19 might just be the best issue of this series thus far, introducing high stakes and great character work. It'll be interesting to see how Krakoa reacts moving forward -- and how the Children of the Vault will reappear.

What makesX-Force#18 interesting is that it's essentially a psychological horror book.

Williams and Baldeon brave new territory with a horror-inspired approach to their story, which is met with mostly success.

Hellions#10 takes a deep dive into some dark territory but the comic is all the better for it, crafting deeply personal scenes that allow for a real look inside these characters' heads.

The more this series goes on, it's hard to imagine a more perfect team for thePower Packrevival than North and Leon.

Williams and Baldeon are at their best here and this is, without a doubt,X-Factor'sbest arc yet --and it only seems to be getting more exciting by the minute.

While Kelly Thompson's wholeCaptain Marvelrun is good, this arc is easily one of the best, and it's sad to think that it's probably half over.

New Mutants#15 skillfully brings back old plotlines while raising new, interesting questions.

All in all,X-Men#17 is more of the same extremely contained story-telling that will almost certainly come back later.

Cable#7 is a more promising look at the future of the title, leaning into some self-aware writing and striking the balance of "coming of age story" and "intriguing plot." Phil Noto's pencils always hit the mark, providing beautiful visuals throughout.

S.W.O.R.D.#2 is Ewing and Schiti at their best, showcasing epic battles and a narrative that respects the history of what came before it.

The artwork is interesting, the plot is intriguing, and the mysteries that have arisen are among the best in the new era.

Future State Wonder Woman is new, different, and so quintessentially Wonder Woman at the same time.

Power Packis easily one of the most enjoyable books out there right now. North's writing is fun and self-aware while Leon's art is wonderfully cartoony. For a lighthearted good time,Power Pack is a can't-miss book.

Despite this, Gerry Duggan does a good job with the dialogue, providing what is arguably his strongest work in the Cableseries thus far. As usual, Phil Noto's art is breathtaking, never missing a beat. Nathan learning humility and how to lose could be interesting moving forward, regardless of the frustrating nature of his battle. And, of course, the set up for Apocalypse vs. Genesis is palpable, a (hopefully) thrilling conclusion which readers will finally get their hands on next week.

Coates has done wonders developing Sharon's character and through the Daughters of Liberty, he has done more for Peggy Carter's character than any modern writer. His run continues to be intriguing and politically conscious, though one often wonders when Steve himself will get his day in the sun as well. In that respect, it's certainly the outlier in the various Captain America runs, though that's hardly a bad thing.

Hellions#6 isn't a great entry inX of Swordsevent, but it's a great standalone issue in a fun series thus far.

While it's mostly a filler issue,Marauders#15 is mostly fun for what it is and features gorgeous artwork to boot.
