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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If Strikeforce can keep building on this foundation, readers are in for a very entertaining ride.

Strikeforce #1 showed immense potential, but #2 truly delivers on it.

Strikeforce is one hell of a fun time, and few teams are this entertaining to watch.

The biggest negative is that we don't really go anywhere new here, but this team's natural chemistry is enough to make up for that, at least for one issue.

This isn't the strongest issue of the series thus far, but it's another delightful example of how entertaining this team can be, and that's perfectly fine with me.

Anyone can find something to like here, but Tangled fans will simply adore it.

Disney fans of all ages will find something to love about Tangled, making it a win across the board.

There's never been a better time to give Teen Titans a chance, so don't miss out.

Teen Titans is one of the most entertaining team books around, and we just can't get enough of them.

This issue is mostly a slugfest, but it does present some subtle and stirring emotions from Crush, mostly done through her expressions revealing the more vulnerable human underneath her rigid exterior.

Last issue delivered a brutal throw down, but not much else. This issue, on the other hand, manages to balance things quite a bit better and leads to an ultimately satisfying match up between the Titans and Lobo.

Teen Titans is not at all what you expect, and that's a truly wonderful thing.

It's safe to say we're pretty hooked on this team, dysfunction and all.

Teen Titans continues to be one of the darker books in DC's lineup, but it's using that darker subject matter in some interesting ways, and that's why it should end up on your pull-list.

Artist Bernard Chang does some solid work with both Lobo and Crush though, and that final page is definitely worth talking about, but for now this books needs to find some ways to let the light in before it can really hit its stride again.

The personal relationships between the Titans is always where this book shines, and that is the case once more here. We just wish the big payoff lived up a bit more to all the promise it had.

Squirrel Girl is midway through her "War of the Realms" tie-in, and if you're going to tie into a mega event you either need to be meaningful to the main plot or simply entertaining. Squirrel Girl definitely falls into the latter camp, though the first half of the issue is a bit dull.

This has been a fun excursion, but we're kind of ready for Doreen to return to her lovable crew and adventures before we have to say goodbye to the series later this year.

We're glad that Squirrel-Girl is putting "War of the Realms" in the rear view mirror, but the ride's been an enjoyable one nonetheless.

As The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl nears the end of its run, writer Ryan North and artist Derek Charm are trying to make sure the series goes out on a high note, and they're off to quite a start.

Even as Tony and the army of villains continue to show up, the spotlight never truly leaves Squirrel Girl, and you'll remember all the reasons why you love this character and her book by the end of the issue.

Everything you love about Squirrel Girl is here in spades, and as we close in on the series conclusion, we can't think of a better way to celebrate our favorite hero.

Squirrel Girl has been a delight for 50 issues, and thankfully she's going out on a high note.

This return packed everything we love about The Weatherman into one issue, and here's hoping the rest of the series can keep up with that high bar.

The Weatherman has really found a rhythm in its second volume, and we simply can get enough of it.

Writer Jody LeHeup manages to find ways to surprise with every issue, never going quite where you expected and somehow revealing yet another unfortunate layer to what happened after Earth fell.

It might be a minute before we see what comes from that huge last page hook, but the series has proven it is more than worth the wait.

The Weatherman deals with some heavier subjects and a rather dark world, but it knows when to lighten the mood with humor.

There's a lot to process here, but when it all comes together you can't help but love the results.

The isn't going to make or break your War of the Realms experience, but X-Men fans will still find enough here to enjoy it.

Granted this is not truly necessary to understand the main event, but we don't regret our time with the series in the slightest.

Both new and longtime WWE fan will find something to love here, and it's the perfect way to kick off 20 more years of SmackDown.

It feels like X-Force is finally figuring out what it is, and we couldn't be happier.

The best Cable stories are the ones that ground the more eccentric elements of time travel and prophecies with an emotional core. It took a minute to find in this arc but Ed Brisson maximizes that to the betterment of the overall story at play in X-Force #8.

The series has really developed a charm all its own, and here's hoping it can close out this story with a bang.

This storyline didn't change the world, but it was definitely a worthwhile adventure for those who decided to take the journey.
