While there are some charming parts at the beginning and end of the issue, there's just not enough here to make this a must-buy, though there is some fun to be had if you're willing to overlook some flaws.

This wasn't really what I was expecting it all, but any Moon Knight fan will definitely not want to miss out on all the fun.

Overall, it feels like the team's trying to find its rhythm a bit in this first issue, but the potential is clearly there.

It might have started out a little slow, but here Aero is truly starting to hit its stride, and we're quickly becoming big fans of the hero and her amazing world.

The issue has a few hiccups, but the highs definitely outweigh the lows.

Writer Zhou Liefen's first story is gorgeous to look at but just doesn't have the depth or moment to moment action of previous issues, and especially when compared to the second half of the book.

There are highs and lows in this book, so here's hoping that once the team finds its rhythm they can capitalize on the book's serious potential.

Agents of Atlas got off to a solid start, but after #2 you can clearly see how much potential this team and this premise has.

Agents of Atlas has carved out its own little corner of the Marvel universe and will reward anyone willing to try something new.

Overall Agents of Atlas continues to build on its delightful cast and engaging central premise, but it seems like it hasn't quite hit full gear.

It seems this book is really hitting its stride at just the right time.

While this isn't a necessary pick-up, if you decide to jump in you'll find yourself wishing this wasn't just a one-shot.

It's always a delight to have America Chavez in the spotlight, and thankfully America Chavez: Made In The U.S.A. #1 brings so many of the aspects we love about the character to the forefront.

This series is really starting to hit its stride, and things should get even better from here.

If you're a fan of American Gods you'll still enjoy it, but it doesn't seem as if it reached its potential.

Russell does a wonderful job building this mystery and making the revelations pay off as the issue shows its hand, and it all makes for an issue you don't want to miss.

This was not at all what I was expecting from a premise like this, but that's what I found most refreshing about it, and the journey to uncovering all the secrets this town holds is one I couldn't be more delighted to be on, and I think you'll dig it too.

An Unkindness of Ravens got off to a delightful start, and while issue #2 doesn't quite hit the same high note, there's still a lot to love.

This series is starting to really hit its stride, and the more we dive into the central Ravens vs Survivors conflict the better the series will be.

An Unkindness of Ravens has been slow to reveal its hand, but between the second half of last issue and issue #4, we're finally getting a much stronger picture of what's really at stake in the series, and it's easily the most exciting part of the series.

If there's a second series it has the potential to be even better than the first, but if not, this issue will serve as a satisfying conclusion that perhaps doesn't quite reach all the potential of the premise.

Analog #6 starts off a bit slow but eventually finds its rhythm, and that's due in a major way to writer Gerry Duggan's delightful team of lethal oddballs.

Writer Gerry Duggan moves the larger plot line along but has some fun on the way in the form of a bar brawl that is hilarious at times, and shows that more often than not Jack sort of lucks into being good at his job.

There's something truly charming about Jack and his oddball crew, and it's enough to overtake some of the book's rougher edges.

If the series can continue to add new layers to this beloved character in the same way issue #0 does, we're in for one hell of a ride.

If the rest of the series is this good, Angel fans are in for a hell of a ride.

Angel #2 builds off of a stellar debut while adding at times subtle and at others not-so-subtle new layers to the mythos, the supporting cast, and Angel himself.

Angel has found its rhythm, and things are only going to get better from here.

So far this has been an Angel fan's dream, and the book doesn't show any signs of slowing down.

As you can clearly see, Angel is in stellar hands, and we couldn't be more excited about what's to come. -

Angel continues to capture the essence of the classic show while finding fresh new ways to twist the mythos, and it shows no sign of stopping anytime soon!

Angel might not be around at the moment, but that isn't keeping his series down in the slightest.

Hellmouth has taken Angel out of the mix of his own solo title, but that isn't slowing down the series one bit, and it's all thanks to Spike.

The introduction of Spike into the mix has been a breath of fresh air, and it gets even better now that Angel is back in the picture.

Angel had already hit its stride, but adding Spike to the series has made this series even more addictive, and here's hoping he doesn't leave anytime soon.

There's a lot to like about Angel & Spike, but hopefully we'll get to see the latter half of that delightful duo a bit more next issue.

Angel continues to deliver a series longtime fans will enjoy while also opening up this crazy world for fans new to the franchise, and if you're missing out you might just want to fix that ASAP.

Angel's been quite caught up in the events of Hellmouth, but Angel #13 takes a quick detour for a straight-up mystery tale that was one of the week's biggest surprises.

Angel & Spike has been a bit hit and miss over the past few issues, but things are wonderfully back on track with issue #15.

Angel and Spike saves some of its most compelling content for last, but even before those final few pages the adventure finds a few ways to impress.

Throughout this rollercoaster ride of a journey, it always comes down to Sandor and Jesse, and Animosity #27 adds yet another compelling layer to their whirlwind story.

DC went all out to celebrate the Ring Slinger's 80th Annivesary, and the Green Lantern 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular delivers all that a Lantern fan could ask for.

Hopefully, this is not the end of more stories in Anthem, because this proves how much potential there is.

"Unspoken Water" has been a delightful breath of fresh air for Aquaman, and the future looks even more promising

The issue drops a few surprise bombshells, but writer Kelly Sue DeConnick ensures there's more to them than simple shock factor.

In short, this is everything you could possibly want in an Aquaman story and, luckily, things are just getting started.

Granted, some of these story points will assuredly pay off down the line, but at times it does feel as if the book is spinning its wheels, at least until the last few pages. That said, there's a lot to love here, and Jackson Hyde provides a welcome shot of energy, not to mention the stellar visuals from artists Robson Rocha, Sunny Gho, and Daniel Henriques.

Aquaman is spinning a very different sort of yarn, but we can't get enough of it.

Aquaman continues to surprise us with new additions that expand the character in new ways, and we can't get enough of it.

Aquaman fans are no stranger to Black Manta, but the villain is definitely one of the standouts in Kelly Sue DeConnick's new Aquaman series. DeConnick has found an inventive way to explore the villain's past and history with Luthor's gift, and throughout the issue she finds even more interesting ways to add Jackson, Mera, and more to the fray, and each and every ingredient makes the stew that much better.

Aquaman has been building to an epic battle between Black Manta and Aquaman, and luckily for fans Aquaman #55 delivers on all that promise.

The love story of Aquaman and Mera has been quite the rollercoaster ride, and it continues to surprise at every turn.

Aquaman is more than a book about one hero, and those who give it a chance will find a wonderful oddball family of characters that have come together in the sweetest way.

It's been a delight seeing this team breathe new life into the Aquaman mythos and cast, and it's only getting better from here.

Simply put, this is Aquaman at its finest, and the next issue can't get here soon enough.

Aquaman continues to find new ways to weave political intrigue with undersea action and a love story unlike any other, and if you aren't adding this to your pull list you're missing out.

Granted, the book lacks much in the way of action (aside from one brief sequence) and this isn't an essential tie-in to the main storyline, but even those nitpicks aren't enough to take away from what the book does so well, and if you've got room in your pull list this week, Aquaman is definitely worth a look.

Still, the stakes are high enough to deliver the necessary tension in the claustrophobic battles and seeing Jackson overcome the baggage that's been holding him back is worth every damn penny, so if you're a fan of Jackson or the Aquaman side of the world in general, this is a must.

The conflict is finally boiling over in Aquaman #64, and it feels like all of the elements writer Kelly Sue DeConnick has built over the course of her run are starting to come together.

Sure, it could've been longer and a bit more action-packed, but those issues don't keep it from delivering a satisfying conclusion to this bold new chapter of Aquaman that I'm sad to see end.

Bringing an established series into an event can be a tricky endeavor, and while Aquaman #66 doesn't deliver an unforgettable chapter of "Endless Winter" or Aquaman in general, it still has several delightful moments for fans of the characters.

This is not mandatory reading to enjoy the main series, but those who give it a chance will find a lot to like in this one-shot, and for Aquaman fans we definitely recommend it.

Not required reading, but if you're looking for a proper hero's sendoff and a reaffirming of this group's most likable traits, you can't do any better than this.

This isn't the epic send off that we necessarily wanted, as it still feels like there were things left to explore with this team that went unfulfilled. That said, we truly enjoyed our time with the Asgardians, and this finale manages to wrap things up in a solid and entertaining bow.

Overall this was a solid introduction to the world of Valhalla, and hopefully issue #2 can build on its momentum.

One of the best parts of the game is the back and forth between Sigurd and Eivor, so hopefully, we'll get a bit more of that next issue, but even without that there's a solid adventure tale here.

Artist Martin Tunica and colorist Michael Atiyeh convey weighty impact with each blow, and I've never winced so much as I do when I see that "slckk" sound follow someone's blade.

I never thought a team of bug-themed villains could be this much fun, but Zeb Wells has thoroughly proven me wrong.

Avengers is the epitome of a whirlwind rollercoaster ride, and we're definitely here for it.

Aaron has a reputation for making revelations like these mean something in the long run, and if that's the case once gain in the "Age of Khonshu," Moon Knight fans are in for one amazing ride.

Jason Aaron and Javier Garron are all about twisting expectations, and boy do they live up to that reputation here.

The issue may drag a bit at the beginning, but by issue's end it's all worth it, and hopefully, the next issue can keep the momentum going right from the start.

Avengers has taken Moon Knight and made him relevant to the Marvel Universe in a bold new way, and the next issue can't get here soon enough.

"The Age of Khonshu" started with a bang but unfortunately ended with a bit of a whimper.

The issue is perhaps a bit too ambitious and could've cut some of the Phoenix stuff, but overall it sets up a Mephisto story that's managed to get its hooks in.

We're back in a familiar place by book's end, and time will tell if this has the meaning to the story it implies, but as of right now, this feels like a must-read for those invested in what comes next, and it's an easy recommend.

Not going to lie, I wasn't exactly looking forward to this arc of Avengers, but this first issue hooked me quite a bit, and I'm eager to see where we go from here.

If the arc can ride this momentum and find an ending as creative as its character lineup, this will be one of the more entertaining Phoenix stories in recent memory.

Some parts of the issue feel a little on the filler side (though incredibly gorgeous filler to be fair), but it seems things are moving in the right direction by issue's end.

A lot of things are happening but not a lot of meaningful progression is made, so hopefully, next issue's conclusion can change that.

"Enter The Phoenix" has been an action spectacle, and that is the case once more with the big finale, which also delivers on its promise and reveals the next true host of the Phoenix.

This issue hit me much harder than I expected it to, and I think it will for just about all Batman fans too.

The series' title carries high expectations and Batman/Superman #1 meets those expectations head-on.

Some lines and plot developments miss the mark a bit, but overall this is a rollicking good time with two iconic heroes, and we're looking forward to what the future holds.

Batman/Superman features quite the rollercoaster-meets-chess-match between the Batman Who Laughs and the World's Finest, and #3 stacks the deck further in the villains' favor.

Batman/Superman has been an entertaining ride thus far, but #4 doesn't spend as much time focusing on the series' biggest strength.

Batman/Superman #5 puts the best aspects of the Worlds Finest at the forefront once more, and that's why the series ends its first arc with a bang.

We can't say enough about Nick Derington and Dave McCaig's art, which at first doesn't seem like the best fit but with one splash page completely won me over, and the duo create some fun and lively action scenes together.

If you're looking for a solid Superman and Batman team-up story this will fit the bill, though it had the potential to be even better.

The issue sets up this adventure with everything it needs to fulfill its potential, and from here on out it should have no problem soaring.

It all makes for a fun if relatively light adventure featuring two of DC's biggest icons, and that's plenty to warrant some of your time.

Batman/Superman's "Atomic" arc got off to a promising start, but with its conclusion, it feels like we're right back where we started.

Artist Max Raynor and colorist Alejandro Sanchez are up to that summer blockbuster challenge as well, and are the perfect fit for this quite delightful DC popcorn flick.

This take on Batman and Superman is big bombastic fun, and I'm here for it.

Sometimes you just want to grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy some blockbuster action, and Batman/Superman #14 is that to a tee.

We then get a touching moment of honesty between the two heroes that you can't help but smile at, and while some of the other elements of the book don't hit those similar high marks, it's an enjoyable team-up that left a much bigger impression than I expected, and what a welcome surprise.

I didn't really know what to expect when I started Batman/Superman #16, only that it would be different than what has come before, and it most certainly was. Granted, the core premise of Batman and Superman teaming up is still the focal point, so not too big of a shift, but it's the execution that really shocked me, though I came away impressed.

This isn't a must-read mind you, but if you want a surprisingly dark battle through a more lighthearted prism and some genuine laughs out loud moments, this might be the perfect book for you.

At times I had to wonder what the heck I was reading, but by the end of Batman/The Maxx #4, I did have a good grip on this team-up adventure, though that doesn't mean I enjoyed it.

If you're a fan of the character and the artistic style you'll definitely find something to love here, but as I can attest to, it's not a book that everyone will get the same level of enjoyment out of.

This comic makes a stellar impression with its cover alone, and thankfully that holds true throughout the remainder of the issue.

Batman Curse of the White Knight delivers with every issue, and it looks to get even better from here.

It might be set in an alternate universe, but if you're a Batman fan there's no reason you shouldn't be reading Curse of the White Knight.

Sean Murphy and Matt Hollingsworth are once again on their A-game with Batman: Curse of the White Knight #5 and the series continues to reveal intriguing new layers of the Wayne legacy and Batman's relationship with Gotham.

Curse of the White Knight is anything but cursed, and we can't wait to see how it all ends.

This isn't the strongest issue of the series, but it sill packs amazing visuals and an emotional punch into the book's big conclusion, and brings this phenomenal series to a close...for now.

If you're looking for the traditional Mr. Freeze story this is not it, but that's far from a bad thing, so if you're looking for something new you should definitely give this take on the classic Batman villain a shot.

There's a lot of potential here, but those looking for a bit of depth might not find what they're looking or.

White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn moves this world forward in new and interesting ways and shines a light on one of the best characters in this inventive take on the Batman mythos, and I couldn't recommend it more.

Granted, this issue wasn't quite as strong as issue #1, but that's more because the series set a rather high bar right out of the gate, and issue #2 continues the book's winning streak.

There are quite a few iterations of Harley Quinn out in the world, but I can already say that this is by far my favorite, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

This has become a series I genuinely look forward to each and every month, and at this point, it's a world I never want to leave.

I can't compliment this series enough, and it seems to only be getting better.

I knew this day would come eventually, that being the day I would have to say goodbye to this exceptional series that quite honestly took me by surprise. That said, that love of the series all meant that my expectations were rather high, which is why it's wonderful to say that Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn easily surpassed those expectations and brought this delightful series to a satisfying close.

Bloodshot is an adrenaline rush from the opening page, and it manages to keep your attention throughout the issue.

BOOM! Studios' new one-shot Buffy: Every Generation puts Buffy in the spotlight once more, but it also takes a minute to feature two previous slayers, and it's in those stories where this volume truly shines. Unfortunately, those don't come until later in this one-shot, so the comic doesn't make the best first impression.

Seriously, Captain Marvel has never been better, and we can't wait to see more.

Artist Annapaola Martello does a nice job filling in for Carmen Carnero, and while overall this isn't a must buy, Captain Marvel fans will not regret picking it up.

If you want a Captain Marvel book that will make you smile, this is the issue for you.

Captain Marvel is at her best when her back is against the wall, and writer Kelly Thompson seems to know that. It's in these moments that fans get a glimpse of the person underneath all that power, showing just how human and relatable Carol is, and reminding us why we fell in love with the character all those years ago.

Hopefully, the next issue will bring with it a few more answers, but this series is already delivering on its initial promise.

Carmen Carnero and Tamra Bonvillain are on their A game here as well, delivering in both the intimate conversations and the city to space spanning battles alike. If you want to know what makes Captain Marvel a hero, look no further.

This is the hero fans first fell in love with, and it's great to see her shine.

Coupled with that hook of an ending, it appears "The Last Avenger" is off to a thrilling start, and we can't wait to see how this thrill ride ends.

"The Last Avenger" got off to a powerful start, and while this issue slows the pace down just a bit, we do get some welcome answers to the central mystery.

Even without an all-too compelling villain, the hook is firmly in place for one epic conclusion, and we can't wait to see how it all ends.

Fans of Carol and her beloved crew of friends will love this thrilling conclusion, which sends The Last Avenger out in style.

This isn't necessary reading, but those who love seeing these characters interact will be in for a treat, and you're guaranteed to crack a smile by issue's end.

Captain Marvel has become the Supreme Accuser, and Captain Marvel #18 is one hell of an introduction to the new status quo.

Captain Marvel #19 will have every Captain Marvel fan smiling from ear to ear, and yes, Lauri-ell is already one of the best new additions of 2020.

This issue has everything a Cap fan could want, so if you miss out, it's your loss.

This rollercoaster ride of an arc not only introduced a delightful new character into Carol's world but also found a way to make a tie-in more rewarding than the series it tied into, and what a joyful ride it's been.

Writer Kelly Thompson shocked the hell out of me in Captain Marvel #22, tying into a one-shot that revealed a much harsher yet incredibly intriguing future that Cap managed to help.

It's amazing to see the world of Captain Marvel: The End expanded in such a rich way in "The New World Part Two," and writer Kelly Thompson not only adds new layers to this alternate reality but also delivers more compelling questions about the future of it.

One of the biggest highlights of this arc though continues to be the team of heroes Thompson's assembled, and after meeting all these wonderful characters it's going to be hard to eventually say goodbye, and fingers crossed we don't have to completely when all is said and done.

While this arc might be ending very soon, Thompson, Garbett, and the entire Captain Marvel crew have only made me love this new reality even more, and I hope we get to return to it someday soon.

"The New World" definitely made a big impression, and while I'm sad to leave, it was more than worth the price of admission.

This is going to end terribly mind you, and the characters know that too, but it's going to make for an unforgettable story with all the heart at the core of it that makes this series work so well, and I'm in for all of it.

They seem to be having an absolute ball creating this crazy world, and you'll have just as much fun getting lost in it.

Death Metal reigns in a bit of the crazy for issue #2, but if anything that might have made it a stronger issue overall, and we cannot wait to see what awaits us in issue #3.

Death Metal #3 doesn't shy away from the insanity that has fueled the series so far, but it injects the intrigue and heart the series needs to make sure we all care about the outcome.

This series has taken on some large concepts, but so far it's hit most of them out of the park. Hopefully, it can do the same with that last page, and the good news is it certainly has momentum on its side.

It's not the strongest issue of the series, but has its share of amazing moments, and it should be a rollercoaster ride to the finish line.

Writer Scott Snyder knows how to create an epic scene, and this issue is full of them, all pulled off brilliantly by artist Greg Capullo and colorist FCO Plascencia.

Writer Scott Snyder, artist Greg Capullo, inker Jonathan Glapion, and colorist FCO Plascencia created a massive and action-packed battle on the ground while simultaneously continuing to spotlight the heroism and leadership of Wonder Woman in a one on one with The Batman Who Laughs, and while there are many moving parts here in regards to both, they ultimately delivered a rollercoaster of emotions that any event of this scale demands.

I've enjoyed a lot of what Death Metal and the Dark Multiverse have to offer thus far, and there's even more original and interesting takes on classic characters in Dark Nights: Death Metal - The Mutliverse Who Laughs. That said, your mileage is going to vary a bit, as none of these stories really add anything significant to the core Death Metal story.

It's a fitting way to end a harrowing but phenomenal series, and what a ride it turned out to be.

Amongst all the fun is even a little bit of heartbreak, and it's that unique blend of comedy, emotion, and irreverence that makes Deadpool #1 an instant classic.

Kraven the Hunter as a villain is an interesting choice here, and so far I'm still waiting on the big hook to really draw me into this conceit. That said, everything else is just so delightful, and I still can't get enough of it.

In short, this book is perfect, and I simply can't get enough.

We finally get the big throw down between Deadpool and Bootleg Kraven, and while it delivers some glorious moments to be sure, it doesn't quite hit the highs established by previous issues.

This issue is classic Deadpool, but it's the book's sneaky heart of gold that will really make it all worthwhile.

Deadpool hasn't been this entertaining in quite some time, and this is easily one of the books I look forward to most every month.

This is the best Deadpool has been in ages, and luckily the streak doesn't show any signs of stopping.

Few creative teams are as perfect a compliment to their character as Kelly Thompson and Gerardo Sandoval are to Deadpool, and you need look no further than Deadpool #8 for a delightful example of that in action.

This issue might not hit the previous highs of the series, but it's still damn entertaining in a number of ways, and you won't regret giving it your time.

The series has been stellar and deserved to go doing its own thing and not having to tie into anything else. Still, the team pulled off a delightful finale, and this is easily one of the best Deadpool runs ever.

Here's hoping the story can catch up to the visuals next month, because there is the promise of a cool story here.

If you're looking for the best Batman and Robin book in some time, Detective Comics is the place to be.

This has been a bit of a slow burn, but if this story can stick the landing we might have something special on our hands.

The Arkham Knight's comic debut comes to a close, though it doesn't completely reach its potential.

Batman and The Spectre might be more comfortable in the shadows, but they truly shine here.

This team up of Batman and the Spectre has resulted in a visual tour de force for Detective Comics, and part two of the adventure is just as addicting as part one.

In short, this is a fine Batman/Joker story, but don't expect any fireworks.

It doesn't happen very often but every now and then we get to see Bruce Wayne in action rather than the Batman, and as seen in the latest issue of Detective Comics, that can be quite compelling when handled the right way.

At one point while reading Detective Comics it felt like I was reading a DC version of Kong: Skull Island, which might seem odd upon first hearing it. That said, that aspect of the story was quite enjoyable taken on its own, and is probably one of the book's strongest points.

Artist Christian Duce and colorist Luis Guerrero to a lovely job bringing the battle between Deadshot and Bats to life as well, but Clarence and Hiro clearly steal the show.

This book is a testimony that it doesn't have to be all Batman all the time for Detective to be engaging, and there's real promise in what this book establishes going forward, but it isn't a must read.

Hotshots is simply a blast, and here's hoping the fun doesn't stop anytime soon.

So far the charm and personality of the book haven't been overwhelmed by the Celestial elements, and hopefully, next issue's finale can continue that streak.

This creative team truly captures what makes Domino and her friends so enjoyable, and we'd happily sign up for another round.

Dragon Age fans are going to eat this up with a spoon, though we do hope there's a lot more Fenris throughout the rest of the series.

Writers Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir know this world inside and out, and it shows, especially in how they weave in events from Dragon Age II organically into the story.

It is a bummer that the book feels as if it's about to take off in an awesome direction by the book's last page, but it also leaves you rather hopeful for the future, and that's not a bad thing in the slightest.

All in all, it's a lovely start, and we can't wait to see what happens to our merry crew next.

Throw in a solid hook for next issue and you've got yourself the beginning of a promising journey.

The blend of futuristic tech and high fantasy really makes this series pop visually, while the heart and endearing family unit keep all the fantastical elements grounded, making for a series that you won't want to put down.

Dryad is a breath of fresh air, and for those looking for a unique story of family set in a world of possibilities, this is most definitely a series for you.

Dryad continues to subvert expectations, and I cannot wait to see where this crazy adventure goes next.

This isn't the strongest issue of the series, and at times it feels like the story doesn't move forward enough, but it's still a book worth checking out.

Things are probably going to get worse before they get better for this family, but the nuanced family dynamics and science fiction magic mixture that Dryad offers has us in for the long haul.

Road To Empyre: The Kree/Skrull War has a tall task to achieve, but it manages to stick the landing and then some by issue's end.

Granted, this is not necessary to Empyre or as a single issue in the least, but if you like Conan team-ups, you're going to enjoy this little detour quite a bit.

There's just not another comic out there like Ether, and writer Matt Kindt and artist David Rubin are impressing once again with Ether: The Disappearance of Violet Bell #1.

Few comics are as charming and visually inspired as Ether, and it shows no signs of changing anytime soon.

The main narrative takes a bit of a backseat here, but the adventure is still wildly entertaining. That said, we're hoping that next issue the story takes a step towards the main plot line, as that's the hook that got us into this adventure in the first place.

Rubin is at the top of his game here, filling each page with bright and vivid colors and dynamic action sequences that always play out differently than you're expecting, and Kindt's cast of lovable characters fill each and every scene with personality and wit.

Excellence lives up to its name in spades.

Writer Brandon Thomas creates a thrilling concoction that combines the weight of family, surviving grief, conflict of compromise, and defying insurmountable odds in a world that may be birthed from magic but feels incredibly real.

Excellence lives up to its title yet again with issue #4, and if you aren't reading this series yet please do yourself a favor and fix that ASAP.

Despite the fantastical aspects of the book, Excellence is a very personal story of how someone deals with loss, with anger, and with pain, and whether you're rooting for him or not, you'll be hooked until the very last page.

This is one of the best series in comics, and you're missing out if you don't give it a chance.

To say we recommend Excellence is an understatement, and if you give it a chance we promise you won't be disappointed.

Excellence lives up to its name once more, and if you read one book this week please make it this one.

Excellence has lived up to its name for some time now, and while the story has only grown more ambitious, it has yet to miss a single step.

There's nothing ordinary about Excellence, and as the dominoes fall this epic tale isn't slowing down in the slightest.

The individual motives and conflicts present in this awfully grey continue to evolve and expand in unexpected ways, and while you definitely will need to go back and read issue #9 to get in the proper head space, the series continues to live up to its name without fail.

Fallen Angels doesn't hold back in the slightest, but if you give it a chance you'll find an X-Book unlike anything else in "Dawn of X," and that certainly has us coming back for more.

Fallen Angels won't be for everyone, but if you're looking for a better understanding of who Psylocke really is, this is definitely worth checking out.

Fallen Angels has easily been one of the most intriguing X-Books in the "Dawn of X" era thus far, but unfortunately, #3 really drops the ball.

This book started out strong, but it seems were' going in the wrong direction, and here's hoping things get back on track next issue.

If you're willing to overlook some flaws though Fallen Angels #5 has some interesting things to offer.

Fallen Angels ends without making much of an impression, and that's really a shame.

There's a lot to enjoy about this Road Trip, though it would've been even better if some of its concepts, especially regarding Reed and the family dynamic, had been pushed a bit further.

DC Comics' history is filled with cosmic tales of the Green Lanterns, but few if any have ever presented quite as compelling a concoction as Far Sector.

If you've been looking for a fresh take on the Green Lantern Corps, stop looking, because you've just found it.

Far Sector continues to be one of the most refreshing Green Lantern stories in years thanks to a compelling central conflict and dazzling visuals.

Trust us, you'll want more of Far Sector as soon as you give it a chance, because ring-slinging has rarely been this good.

Far Sector continues to be a visual tour de force, but the latest issue is building a strong case for its lead hero as well, and that is perhaps the most welcome new addition.

Far Sector has a wonderful way of translating complicated concepts into very human stories, and that is certainly the case once more in Far Sector #7.

There's simply nothing quite like Far Sector out there right now, and if you give it a chance you likely won't regret it.

If you haven't given Far Sector it's due yet, it's time to change that ASAP.

Far Sector continues to be one of the best books DC releases month in and month out, and if you're not on board you're simply missing out on a modern classic.

N.K. Jemisin hits hard from the opening page and keeps the foot on the gas from that point forward, rolling Jo, Syzn, and Marth into the chaos to try and keep the city from destroying itself.

This book is really the tale of two halves, and while the second half drags things down, it's hard not to still recommend the first half.

A title like Future State: Justice League carries with it high expectations, especially with a lineup as promising as this. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite hit that high bar, but some of that is due to the nature of the story the series is trying to tell.

Sometimes less is more, but Future State: Green Lantern looks to be the exception to the rule, as its three drastically different stories each deliver individually while also providing a unique prism through which to explore and appreciate the Green Lantern mythos.

All it took was one issue and one badass ending sequence to make this one of the best "Future State" series to date.

Two of my favorite DC characters are Aquaman and Mera, and if you told me that in 2021 I would be perfectly fine with neither as the lead in an Aquaman comic, I would've told you to take it easy on the wine. Somehow that's happened though, as writer Brandon Thomas, artist Daniel Sampere, and colorist Adriano Lucas have combined to deliver an inspired and wholly unique take on the Aquaman mythos, and all I want is to follow Andy and Jackson on their next grand adventure.

There are several elements of Future State: Justice League that work extremely well, including the core premise regarding the differences between this new League and the original. The exchanges between Yara and Jon highlight this core concept in an organic way, and I love the idea of Joshua Williamson showing us the team getting to know each other in real-time, but the execution is just a little clunky.

Just like before, if you're a Green Lantern fan, this is a pull list must, and the future looks awfully bright for the ring slingers.

If you're looking for some serious story substance this is not your jam of course, but if you're up to having some fun in the Gears universe, you've come to the right place.

Generations: Shattered was a most welcome surprise, and Generations: Forged can't get here soon enough.

It all results in an issue that takes a long time to not say very much, nor does it move the overall plot forward in any substantial way until the very end, and its zeniths aren't sufficient to overcome those flaws.

Whether you're looking for an entertaining adventure between two of your X-Men favorites, a thoughtful and action-packed journey through the mind, or another step forward in the evolution fo the X-Men, you'll find all of it in Giant Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost #1.

Go Go Power Rangers continues to be the standard for Ranger comics, and we can't wait to see what's next.

This issue was a bit more unpredictable than I was expecting, but that's nothing but a positive, and I can't wait to see where things go from here.

You might not fall in love with every piece of this issue, but you'll find yourself loving where it's going by issue's end.

This is the perfect mixture of depth and fun, and any Power Rangers fan will be over the moon for it.

No this isn't necessary reading, but you'll find it hard not to love this dynamic duo by story's end. We're pretty sure that's the point of this story, and if that is the case, mission accomplished.

We're loving this new spin on White Light, and while there is a bit too much decompression here, the fresh elements more than make up for that drawback.

It really feels like a book of two halves, and if next issue can deliver more of what the second half did well, we're in for a treat next issue.

It all results in an unexpected but certainly welcome detour that gives fans a fresh perspective.

Go Go Power Rangers is saving some of its best stories for last, and longtime fans of the show will find a lot to love in Go Go Power Rangers #29.

Go Go Power Rangers #30 is still worth checking out, but don't expect to be floored.

Go Go Power Rangers is nearing the end of its sensational run, and while we're sad to see it go, it's probably happening at the perfect time.

The time jumps are still a little confusing, and while it was nice to see some of the threads tied up, we didn't exactly learn anything new, making it feel a little less impactful. That said, Go Go set a high bar for Power Rangers comics, and it certainly went out on a high note.

Go Go Power Rangers: Forever Rangers #1 closes out this chapter of the Power Rangers universe in style.

This is a must read for any Green Lantern fan; we promise you will not be bored for a single moment.

The Green Lantern Season Two started off in a bold new fashion, and #2 looks to continue that trend, but ultimately fumbles along the way.

This is a bit of a mixed bag, and while it features some stunning art and delightful moments, the unevenness keeps it from achieving greatness.

It feels like quirky filler, and the bright spots aren't enough to compensate. Here's hoping next issue can chart a better destination.

At times this series can lean too far into its eccentricities, but this issue found a compelling balance, and here' hoping that doesn't change.

This is the quirky Green Lantern book we initially fell in love with, and it's nice to see the series return to form.

The Green Lantern Season Two has been a bit of a mixed bag in recent issues, and unfortunately that trend continues with issue #7.

Green Lantern continues to be one of DC's best books, and this is another perfect example of why.

At the end of this, it feels like we went in a giant circle, and some of the blanks still feel like they need filling, resulting in an issue that I probably need to read again to fully comprehend but honestly don't want to.

Every aspect of this issue has managed to hook me in some form or fashion, and if the rest of season two can deliver a similar experience, this could be one hell of a ride.

Green Lantern #1 pulls the spotlight from Hal Jordan and places the franchise in John Stewart's ever-capable hands, and the supporting cast Thorne is building out is truly stellar.

While there are a host of characters to take in, it all will rise and fall with Belzebeth and Parallax, and so far there are well deserving of the spotlight, exhibiting a raw magnetism that keeps you invested in not only the big picture but also the more personal one, and it makes for a book that is simply not like anything else on stands.

This issue has great moments marred by an overwhelming amount of exposition and plot, and here's hoping #3 finds the balance of the series' debut.

The story also manages to surprise at several points, but the battles themselves are a bit lacking, both in action and in terms of visuals.

Grit is one of the most intriguing books I've read as of late, taking a premise we've seen before and tweaking the mixture just enough to create something wholly unique. I've still got plenty of questions, but I'm definitely sticking around to get the answers.

Grit's debut issue made a strong impression, but it's the second issue that cements this off-kilter series as one to watch.

The issue is gorgeous thanks to the work of Mitch Gerads and Travis Moore, but unless the finale delivers a big surprise this story is not sticking the landing.

Hit-Girl brings the Hollywood arc to its big conclusion, though for all the over-the-top action it doesn't exactly end with a bang.

If you're looking for a science fiction thriller that paves its own path, look no further than Infinite Dark.

Infinite Dark #8 brings this tension-filled storyline to a close, at least for now, and it's a satisfying end to this pleasant surprise of a series.

The dynamic duo at the heart of the story are enough to justify the price of admission, and the future for Inkblot seems pretty damn bright.

There are some delightful moments here, but overall it still hasn't delivered all the promise that the premise shows.

It's not an issue I would read again mind you, but it certainly left an impression, and I think it will leave one with you as well.

There are some shining moments, especially in that shadow-filled ending sequence, but overall things are a bit bland from page to page. Kick-Ass' latest arc is off to a promising start, and hopefully the rest follows suit.

Writer Gerry Duggan, artist Luke Ross, colorist Carlos Lopez, and letterer Cory Petit deliver an action-packed adventure with a poignant twist, and it's more than deserving of any reader's time and attention.

If you're looking for something that tugs on the heartstrings in all the right ways, look no further than Klaus.

Few tie-ins these days are as satisfying as Emperor Hulking, and if you pick one tie-in to buy, this one is definitely the one to grab.

Otto and Hades are magic together, and I cannot wait to see what else they can do.

Ludocrats seems to have found its rhythm, and hopefully it can keep the momentum in issue #3.

There is a cool tester between the story and how Major X got his weapon, but that's just not enough to make this a must read.

Major X continues to be a most pleasant surprise.

Not as high as issue #1, but still quite solid.

The promise is here for an interesting universe, but the slugfests slow that progression down a bit too much in issue #4.

The X-Istence and the mystery behind the X-Ential is quite compelling, though in issue #5 things get a bit confusing.

Overall, the issue acts as a solid finale, but doesn't rise to being a great one.

Marauders #1 is off to a killer start, and has absolutely everything I want in an X-Men book.

Marauders #2 reveals a fresh and welcome new side to the hit series, even if it doesn't hit the high bar of its phenomenal debut.

Marauders is only getting better with time, and if you miss out on one series, don't let it be this one.

It doesn't get any better than Marauders, and you should not be missing out on all the fun.

Marauders continues to showcase why it's the best X-book around in #5, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

In short, Marauders is awesome, and we couldn't recommend it any more.

This series has yet to make a misstep, and we couldn't recommend it any more.

We can't say enough about how good Marauders continues to be, and it doesn't show any sign of changing.

Marauders consistently weaves a compelling and satisfying one issue story while still slowly rolling out other threads, and this issue continues that run of excellence.

Marauders has become the flagship X-Book for a variety of reasons, though if we had to single out one particular reason to explain its success, it would be its ability to maneuver between various tones with ease.

Marauders has been the gold standard of "Dawn of X," and that trend isn't ending anytime soon.

Marauders continues to set a high bar for "Dawn of X," and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

"X of Swords" continues to flow through the X-Men line, but as Marauders shows, never at the expense of the characters we've grown to love in their individual series.

"X of Swords" continues to zig when you expect it to zag, and who knew a dinner party would be one of the most exciting issues of the series yet?

Not going to lie, I'd be fine with this entire crossover taking place in this series, but since that can't happen, I'm just going to look forward to when Marauders picks up the "X of Swords" baton once more.

Marauders earned its place as the best of "Dawn of X" for a reason, and it shows no signs of giving up the title anytime soon.

Just when it looks as if Marauders might take a step towards a filler story, it switches gears and ends up bringing a long-running arc to a fitting close and in many ways a new beginning.

While this wasn't my favorite issue of the series thus far, it's still another lovely example of why this series is a must-read each and every month.

Marauders is a consistent highlight every month, and this time around is no exception.

Matthew K. Manning packs in a delightful mix of humor and action and Jon Sommariva and Protobunker deliver some lovely visuals throughout, resulting in an issue that any fan, regardless of age, can pick up and enjoy.

If you're looking for an Avengers book that can provide a bit of fun for longtime fans and provide the perfect jumping on point for new ones, this is your jam.

There are some lovely bits of humor here and the ending shows potential, but you can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed.

The visuals on the Black Panther side of things are solid though not as on point as previous issues, so all in all this is a solid book but doesn't do enough to hit that higher tier.

This isn't the strongest issue of the series, but if the next issue can deliver on the promise established here, we're in for quite a treat.

This was a solid arc, but overall doesn't reach what it could've been.

This isn't the most complex Black Panther adventure, but it's certainly an entertaining one.

This is the perfect book for a new Captain Marvel fan, but longtime fans will definitely have some fun and find themselves smiling as well.

Marvel Action: Captain Marvel is a genuinely fun adventure romp perfect for any age, and any Cap fan is going to love it.

This collection isn't as strong as Marvel Comics #1000, but it does have some entertaining stories if you're willing to overlook some sizable filler.

Sometimes the message is still worthwhile despite somewhat clumsy execution, and that happens to the case for Captain Marvel: Marvels Snapshots.

Marvel's Skrull family drama is simply fantastic, painting a vivid picture of loss, grief, and expectations.

In short, this series has been a delight, and we can't wait to see how it ends.

We're sad to see Meet the Skrulls go, but man, what a ride.

There are some absolutely stunning pages here, including the latest appearance of the new Green Ranger, and we're eager to see more of what Renna can do. If Parrott can do for Zordon for he's already done with Rita Repulsa and Alpha-1, we are in for something special.

The Green Ranger story doesn't move forward all that much, but Billy's reactions move it a bit in subtle ways, and the series as a whole is now on a much more interesting trajectory.

Mighty Morphin is starting to pay off the more compelling story seeds it teased at its launch, and the series is all the better for it.

The big reveal is finally here, as Power Rangers fans finally get the long-awaited reveal of the new Green Ranger.

Yessir, I am here all day for the Grace Sterling Green Ranger show thank you very much.

Granted, it's only one issue so far, but this is exactly what any fan of the Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could want in a crossover.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hit the ground running with a phenomenal debut issue, and somehow they managed to catch lightning twice.

If you're a fan of either franchise, you owe it to yourself to give this a chance! Promise, you won't be disappointed.

Whether you're a fan of one franchise or both, you're going to love this ride, trust me.

This has turned out to be one of the most entertaining crossovers in comics and has set a new high bar for what crossovers can be.

. One of the most original Power Rangers stories in years just continues to get better.

"Power Rangers Beyond The Grid" has been nothing but ambitious, and it delivers a truly satisfying conclusion.

"Necessary Evil" blends classic concepts with bold new ideas, and it's safe to say the post-"Shattered Grid" era is off to one fantastic start.

"Necessary Evil" got off to a great start, and the future's only looking brighter.

If you've been sleeping on Power Rangers, trust us, it's time to get on board!

Past issues have featured one side of the story holding up the other, but here both sides are holding their own, and it's a truly wonderful thing.

The Omega Rangers really get a chance to unleash in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #44, and artist Daniele Di Nicuolo and colorist Walter Baiamonte take advantage of it.

Last issue teased one hell of a battle, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #45 delivered on that promise in spades.

This book is everything you love about Power Rangers distilled into one fantastic issue, and the next adventure cannot get here soon enough.

This Omega Mighty Morphin dynamic is quite the combination, and is something any Power Rangers fan will love in spades.

This issue and this series has everything a Power Rangers fan could want, with heart and action in equal measure, and things should only get better form here.

Things are building at a fever pace, and the anticipated conclusion can't get here soon enough.

Power Rangers is best when it leads with heart and backs it up with stylish action, and luckily "Necessary Evil" has both in spades.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers might be ending soon, but it is determined to go out in a blaze of glory, and that blaze kicks off in style in Power Rangers #51.

I don't know what to think yet of the new opponent, and some of the visuals don't meet the high bar of the battles later in the issue, but those nitpicks aren't enough to take away from the book's combination of epic action and relatable characters, and it seems the series is going out on a high note.

Getting to see these villain faves hold their own was a delight, and there's more than enough here to warrant an addition to your pull list.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers nears its big conclusion in issue #54, and while it contains all of the Zord battles and stylish action you've come to expect from Power Rangers, this doesn't feel like your typical Ranger story.

It has been a long and rewarding journey up to this point, but before the new era of Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers begins, it's time to end the current Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series, and thankfully the creative team more than delivers.

This is everything a Ranger Slayer fan could want in a solo adventure, and the only disappointing part about it is that it had to end.

Once & Future storms out of the gate with gorgeous visuals, a delightful cast, and an intriguing central premise, so do yourself a favor and jump on in because you won't regret it.

Every scene leaves an impression, and trust us when we say you've never seen the legend of King Arthur quite like this.

Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora swung big with Once & Future, and they absolutely hit out of the park.

Once & Future is simply like nothing else out there right now, so do yourself a favor and join the adventure.

Everytime I feel Once & Future has hit its ceiling it shatters it the very next issue, and that is the case once more.

There have been many takes on King Arthur, but few have reached the high bar set by Once & Future.

Kieron Gillen, Dan Mora, Tamra Bonvillain, and Ed Dukeshire deliver a visually stunning Indiana Jones-style adventure with a King Arthur twist that just doesn't feel like anything else in comics.

Once & Future is a comic I look forward to every single month, and once again it has not disappointed.

Writer Kieron Gillen continues to intertwine the old myths and stories with a sarcastic and meta-awareness that gives the series a welcome edge.

Action, humor, and wit abound in Once & Future, making for another can't miss issue.

Few books consistently hit as high a bar as Once & Future does month in and month out, and if you're not joining in on the fun you are missing out.

We are going bigger with the legends and myths fueling this whole thing, but hopefully, that means the payoffs will be that much larger as well.

Excellence is the standard here, and that doesn't show any signs of changing.

Once & Future continues to be one of the best comics around, and that isn't likely to change anytime soon.

Once & Future continues to be one of the most compelling and unique series in comics, and while this issue can get a little heady at times, it still adds even more richness to an already rich world.

With an equally epic battle about to spill out into Otherworld, the series is as thrilling as ever.

Once & Future is a staple of my most anticipated books every month, and while this isn't my favorite issue of the series to this point, it's still one I would gladly recommend.

If you're going to read any new Power Rangers comic, you need to make it this one.

Power Rangers shattered expectations with its first issue, and issue #2 continues to shake things up in ways you never seem to expect.

Writer Ryan Parrott has added so many new layers and characters to the Power Rangers mythology, and he's done so yet again with the addition of the Horrid.

It's good that by issue's end we're back on track with the main plot, but this was definitely worth the pit stop.

As the world of Power Rangers expands so do the possibilities, and Power Rangers is running with those opportunities in a truly delightful way.

To say I was excited for Power Rangers Unlimited: Heir to Darkness would be an understatement. As an avid In Space fan, seeing that world and its amazing characters explore in a fresh way is right up my alley, and despite my incredibly high expectations, Heir to Darkness more than delivered.

Drakkon New Dawn surpassed my expectations, and the next issue can't get here soon enough.

Drakkon New Dawn continues to subvert expectations, and the big conclusion can't get here soon enough.

The big conclusion to Power Rangers: Drakkon New Dawn is finally here, and boy does it deliver.

This series has been a delight all the way through, and we're counting down the days until we get to see more.

While the powers and the stylish suit will get all the attention, it's really the person behind the powers that steals the show, making Radiant Black one debut you should not miss.

The action is big, but it's the evolving and at times tense relationship between Nathan and his father that acts as the book's foundation, and as long as that balance is maintained, Radiant Black looks to be a winner month in and month out.

Dynamite's Sacred Six #1 is one of the most intriguing team books I've read in some time, though I don't quite have a complete handle on what it really is just yet.

This isn't necessary reading, but if the upcoming story can build off this in a big way, it is more than worth your time.

Savage Avengers #6 presents quite the entertaining pairing of The Punisher and Conan, and while enjoyable it could have been even better if there was more to the plot than just getting from Point A to Point B.

Some artists are simply born to draw certain characters, and evidently, for artist Patch Zircher and colorist Java Tartaglia, that character is Shuma-Gorath. Seriously, their take on the villainous entity is all sorts of disturbing, but then again that's how it should be, so it's certainly a job well done.

As for the narrative, at the moment it just isn't that compelling, but for some the team's unique chemistry will be enough to overcome that flaw.

Savage Avengers is way more fun than I expected it to be, but it's all about the clashing of personalities and less about the clashing of swords.

Savage Avengers has some fun parts, but there's still something holding it back from its full potential.

This is one of the best issue of Savage Avengers yet, and the future looks quite promising.

Savage Avengers is at its best when it injects the usual superhero fare with a bit of edge, and issue #12 is a perfect example of this.

If you can get past all the cannibalism, Savage Avengers is a pretty entertaining read, as writer Gerry Duggan seems to be having a ball with the dream team assembled.

Who knew that the team of Conan, Magik, Juggernaut, and the Black Knight would be one of my fave team-ups of 2020, but lo and behold that is indeed the case.

Savage Avengers hit a high note last issue, and while this one doesn't quite reach the same high bar, it's still an exciting and brutal adventure.

This isn't mandatory reading, but if you've enjoyed the series thus far and want to see a delightful side adventure, this could very much be your jam.

I never know quite what to expect from Sea of Stars, but I do know it will always create something truly one of a kind.

There's a lot to like here, but to truly reach its potential both sides of the story need to hit the same bar.

If you were hoping for less heartbreak from Sea of Stars, then issue #9 is going to knock the wind out of you.

Seven Secrets delivers high-octane action, an intriguing premise, and gorgeous art, and it seems BOOM! has yet another huge hit on its hands.

Seven Secrets delivers a stellar sophomore issue, and this is definitely a series to watch.

The biggest secret to Seven Secrets' success is its at times brutal honesty, and there's no better example of this than Seven Secrets #3.

This might not be the strongest issue of Seven Secrets, but it might be the best looking one by far.

This is a classic adventure movie, and the artists seem to revel in making each one shine with a unique personality all its own.

The best part is that it's unclear where the book goes from here, and that unpredictability is what the series needed most and what makes the future so bright.

The Faerie world allows the team to flex a bit and create a world that doesn't look or feel like anything else out there, and here's hoping we get to return at some point because it's simply gorgeous.

It's been a long time coming, but Seven to Eternity #14 is finally here, and it's a lovely reminder of how thought-provoking and wonderfully creative this series can be.

Adam is easily one of the more complicated heroes in comics, and the Mud King is just as complicated, making for one of the more interesting duos in recent memory.

I have absolutely no idea how this will end, but then again that's kind of the fun of it, and the finale cannot get here soon enough.

Some of the dialogue is also a bit over the top for the sake of it, but by the end of this issue you'll be excited to see where this rag tag group goes next.

Sharkey The Bounty Hunter is hitting on all cylinders, and the future looks pretty bright.

You don't want to miss out on this.

Something is Killing the Children fills you with a sense of dread even in the most mundane situations, creating a mystery that you won't forget anytime soon.

Something is Killing the Children is best when it balances the investigative elements of Erica's search and the brutal action that comes with the job, and in #3 the balance is a bit off.

There is a distinct lack of action here, but it appears we're getting that next issue, and hopefully we'll get a few more answers to our bigger questions as well.

We still need more answers of course, but there's plenty here to hook just about any horror fan.

Something is Killing the Children #6 shines a spotlight on the world behind the monsters and those that hunt them, making the issue one of the most compelling so far in the series.

Something is Killing the Children has struggled with pace at times, and while #7 does start off a little slow, things soon kick into gear, and the issue never looks back.

The mix of small town life and this larger than life monster story make for a compelling mix when all the ingredients are present, and that is certainly the case here.

There's way more positive than negative, but the issue doesn't quite find that magic balance.

It just goes to show how great this series can be when all aspects of it are hitting on all cylinders, and here's hoping it stays that way.

Some of the simmering relationships and elements are finally coming together here, and artist Werther Dell'Edera and colorist Miquel Muerto delver another round of unnerving visuals, making this issue the complete package.

The series has hit its stride as of late, and the winning stream continues in Something is Killing the Children #12.

Artist Werther Dell'Edera and colorist Miquel Muerto's artwork continues to deliver brutal brutal action and expressive moments aplenty, and issue #14 can't get here soon enough.

Something Is Killing the Children has been on a roll, and while issue #14 isn't quite as strong as last issue, it's still a stellar entry in the series.

With a satisfying conclusion to "Archer's Peak," the road forward is full of possibilities, and we're eager to see where the journey takes us.

As long as the book continues to reveal new layers of its leads along the way, we couldn't be happier to be on this thrilling ride.

Anyone who's watched a paranormal investigation show knows the various tropes of the genre, though even knowing what you're in for doesn't often mean it won't be effective. Bowen McCurdy and Kaitlyn Musto's new series Specter Inspectors manages to successfully take those tropes and expectations, twist them up a bit, and add a welcome amount of sarcasm and humor to the recipe, resulting in a quite tense but also surprisingly funny paranormal tale.

Specter Inspectors has the perfect mix of adventure, comedy, and horror, and you owe it to yourself to get it on all the fun.

Spencer & Locke isn't quite like any other comic series, and that's a great thing.

Spencer & Locke isn't quite like anything else out there, and that's more than a compliment.

Spencer & Locke is something wholly unique, and it just might win you over if you give it a chance.

Spencer & Locke is at its best when it plays with perception, keeping you unsure of what is real and what is in Locke's head, and vol. 2's finale has that in spades.

Spider-Woman's new series is finally here and it absolutely delivers.

It turns out this was the absolute perfect team for Spider-Woman, and things are only getting better from here.

Representing Spider-Woman as a threat and a force to be reckoned with is something of a mission statement for the series, and so far it's delivering on this in spades.

If you're a Spider-Woman fan and you're not reading this, you're missing out on one fantastic celebration of the character you know and love, and that would be quite a shame.

Writer Karla Pacheco loves to put Jessica Drew through the wringer, and while it's crushing some times, it does make for some fantastic comics.

That's fine though, as the other aspects of the issue made up for it in spades, but hopefully we can get more concrete answers next time around.

On the art side, artist Pere Perez and colorist Frank D'Armata deliver a stunner every time Jess is in the spotlight, though not just in showing off her skills. Their rendition of a serum overdosed Jess is one I won't get out of my mind anytime soon, and when you throw in that final page hook, it makes for one of the most painful yet compelling issues of the series yet.

Who knew that the pairing of Spider-Woman and Octavia Vermis would turn out to be so utterly delightful?

Pacheco and Perez have pushed Drew into some uncomfortable but ultimately compelling directions, and thankfully the ride is far from over.

Pacheco stops wrecking our collective hearts and emotions with a conclusion that brings in some well-earned light at the end of the tunnel but still pushes Jess and her relationships in compelling ways, wrapping up one hell of a ride that any Spider-Woman fan should not miss out on, and if you did it's time to fix that ASAP.

At times it can be a little confusing to sort everything out on the more cluttered panels, but overall there's quite a bit to like about Starcadia Quest, and we're definitely in on this charming space adventure.

Stray Dogs #1 is better than even I expected it to be, pairing a sinister mystery and compelling characters with a classic and expressive visual aesthetic. It's not something that comes around every day, and if enjoy trying new twists on classic comics premises, this should be at the top of your list.

I had an idea that Stray Dogs would be an emotional rollercoaster for me when I read the first issue, and I was completely accurate in that assessment. Thing is, that's also accurate of issue #2, which punched me in the heart once again but in unexpected ways, making the impact all that much bigger.
