I'm not really sure where things go from here, but that unpredictability is half the fun of this series, and things only look to get more epic from here.

Spider-Boy continues to be an absolute delight, and the more we learn about his world and his past, the more undeniable this book becomes.

It still feels odd to be moving across country as opposed to tackling the events of the past few issues head-on, but I'm giving the series the benefit of the doubt that it will all connect down the road.

The sheer amount of threads at play in the series is impressive, but as always, it's the characters and their continued evolution that stands above everything else, and "House of Brainiac"'s second chapter has that in spades.

Hal Jordan has had quite the journey thus far, but Green Lantern #10 shifts from his own personal evolution to the macro-level problems facing the entire Green Lantern Corps. That shift doesn't work without everything writer Jeremy Adams has built across the first nine issues of Green Lantern, however, and the investment pays off in a significant fashion now that Hal is mixing it up with the other Lanterns.

House of Slaughter continues to bring powerful and meaningful stories into the Something is Killing the Children universe, and that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon.

Well, they got me on this one. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Return #2 had a wealth of big surprises, but while issue #3 has fewer of them, the impact might be greater overall.

The internal conflicts of the Thundercats have proven to be just as compelling as any call to arms, but Thundercats #3 says why not have both.

Just when you think Blue Beetle is ready to move the heat to a low simmer, it zigs and throws everything into the pan at once, and it's proven to be a winning mixture once more.

There are some stellar sequences, including several involving White Ranger and the Tigerzord, and Johanna Nattalie's lettering makes those moments pop off the page. There are other scenes though where it can be difficult to sort out exactly what's happening, with everything sort of blending together.

Ranger Academy has been an absolute delight, but issue #6 is making a strong case for best issue so far.

It will be intriguing to see where this goes, as that will be the true test, but as as a reveal and continue character study, Vengeance of the Moon Knight #4 is another home run.

Feral already has its claws hooked in, and fans of Stray Dogs should absolutely add this to their wishlists.

This was a delightful debut, and those looking for a lighthearted adventure in the world of the Ghostbusters will not be disappointed.

"Darkest Hour" has delivered across the board, and this sets the stage for the next major chapter in a truly satisfying way.

The Dead Lucky delivered a satisfying finale to one of the Massive-Verse's most intriguing characters, and set things up well for the future.

It's all building to what looks to be a thrilling and intense final battle, and everything seems to be coming together at the perfect time.

The series seems to be clicking at just the right time, and hopefully that momentum is retained as we move into the final moments.

The adventures of Marvel's most unexpected gem continue in Spider-Boy #5, though a subtitle to this series could easily be "the sad state of mentors and parents."

Spider-Woman #5 moves the overarching story forward but does so through personal and vulnerable character-centric interactions, and I'm truly intrigued to see where this series goes next.

Superman continues to be one of the best series in comics, and somehow it seems to only be getting bigger and bolder from here.

J. Michael Straczynski and Mike Choi seem to have something special in U & I, and U & I #2 brings the comic book's title into focus in a big way.

Longtime fans will also be rewarded with welcome but unexpected returns, and while the central mystery remains, everything else continues to take major steps forward.

This is a welcome return to form, and it really seems that altogether, fans are witnessing the beginning of a new golden era of Green Lantern, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

House of Slaughter is setting the stage for something big, and it all starts right here.

The Return certainly made an impression with its debut, but issue #2 truly showcases the series' potential, and sets up a host of intriguing threads that make it a book no Power Rangers fan should miss.

This was a major step forward from a promising launch, and if the series continues to take steps like this as it progresses, fans are not going to want to wait to jump in.

The mix of action, personal growth, off the wall charm, and fun is something no fan of Giffen or Blue Beetle will want to miss, so make sure you don't.

Ranger Academy has impressively found a way to carve out its own distinct space in the Ranger mythology in a rather short amount of time, and the franchise is all the better for it.

Don't sleep on "Darkest Hour," because you will assuredly regret it.

Radiant Black #28.5 was a masterclass in storytelling, and after that last page, it will be a minute before I'm ready for issue #29.5.

Radiant Black's two-pronged approach to the Catalyst War has been something altogether unique in the comics landscape, and yet also challenges certain character biases for fans of the series.

The bond between Carol and Yuna has steadily coalesced over the past few issues, but it truly comes into its own in Captain Marvel #5, and Captain Marvel's world is all the better because of it.

While the fight is thrilling, this issue overall isn't the strongest in the series, but what it sets up will hopefully pay off for even bigger things down the line.

The entire book benefits from the talents of artists Paco Medina and Ty Templeton and colors Erick Arciniega and Dee Cunniffe, and the I'm genuinely interested in where this series goes next.

To say I'm conflicted on the latest developments in Spider-Woman would be an understatement, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Spider-Woman #3 hit longtime fans with a gut punch of a cliffhanger, but issue #4 decided to follow that up with a right hook that had me reeling.

Superman has been on a truly stellar run for sometime now, and that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.

Blue Beetle has been building to a final confrontation between Jaime and the Blood Scarab, and while that battle is finally here, it ends up taking a truly unexpected turn.

This was a one-two punch that completely delivered, and one that no Green Lantern fan, regardless of era, should miss.

The book leaves plenty of questions, but right now the ride itself is so thrilling that I really don't mind waiting a while longer for those answers.

There are some twists throughout the issue that will get longtime fans talking, though just catching up with what the characters have been up to is engrossing all on its own.

Some of the other characters will get additional moments to shine in future issues, and at times the artwork isn't as strong in emotional sequences as it is when swords are clashing. Despite those flaws, Thundercats #1 has set the foundation for a promising adventure, and it should only get better from here.

J. Michael Straczynski and Mike Choi return to the Resistance Universe with Artists Writers & Artisans' U & I #1, and it's a trip from start to finish. I mean that in the best possible way, as at no point was I ever not immersed in this off the wall story.

Power Rangers Unlimited: The Morphin Masters is a must-read for Ranger fans and "Darkest Hour" readers alike.

Spider-Boy is simply a homerun for me, and Spider-Boy #3 is a perfect embodiment of all the things I love about the series.

Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #4 brings Saladin Ahmed, Juan Ferreyra, and Joe Caramagna's disturbing Spidey tale to its big conclusion, and it's a fitting end to what has been an unexpectedly captivating tale.

Bibi truly is the heart and soul of The Dead Lucky, and the series is at its strongest when she is front and center. That said, The Dead Lucky #11 manages to find a welcome balance between following its lead hero and building out its grander plot, leading to an issue that moves the Bibi forward as a character and Morrow as a villainous force.

"Darkest Hour" continues to live up to its name, but this feels like a major turning point, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Well, I was not prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that is Spider-Woman #3, and I'm not really done process it either.

I'm still excited for Jackpot's future, but this issue didn't push the character forward in the way that I'd hoped.

This has been a thoroughly entertaining series so far, and while issue #4 takes a small step back, I'm still excited to see what wonderful chaos issue #5 can bring to the party.

Coupled with an exciting cliffhanger, Superman #10 simply hits it out of the park.

While this isn't 100% necessary to the overall "Beast World" event, it still provides major details and crucial context, and Titans fans will find plenty to enjoy if they decide to pick it up.

Captain Marvel has found its rhythm, and things should only get better from here.

Green Lantern jumps into the past in issue #7 and answers a host of major questions in the process.

Marvel's "Gang War" event has been an unexpected but incredibly pleasant surprise thus far, and while Miles Morales: Spider-Man #15 isn't as critical to that storyline as other tie-ins, it's still quite excellent on its own.

Blue Beetle #5 keeps the momentum moving and sets the stage for a grand final battle, so don't miss out on one of DC's best.

Ranger Academy has become one of the books I look forward to most each and eery month, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Moon Knight has been one of Marvel's top comic books since this amazing team took over, and that doesn't look to be changing in 2024.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic came out of nowhere and delivered the one of a kind Batman story I didn't know I needed, and hopefully it's not too long before we see where this world and its lovely cast of characters goes next.

The story being told throughout is compelling and for major fans the other history and lore are all incredibly rich and rewarding, but for the casual fan, this might be a skip.

It does seem that some big answers are on the horizon, and once some of those questions are answered, those areas of the book should fall right into place.

While things don't seem to be getting any easier for the Rangers, "Darkest Hour" only seems to be getting better with every issue, and here's hoping the trend continues.

Spider-Woman's first issue set up two major mysteries, and one in particular is quite important to long-time fans. That leads right into Spider-Woman #2, and the book once again leans into the strength of "Gang War" as an event to create a compelling series tie-in.

. Writer Steve Orlando has highlighted the characters trademark humor and aspects of his family relationships, but Astonishing Iceman #5 puts Bobby's altruistic nature on full display while showcasing a newfound fearlessness after the trauma of the Hellfire Gala.

This is the crossover I did not know I needed, but I'm so glad it's here.

Shift is simply fantastic, and a must get for franchise fans.

The touching ending and holiday vibes of both stories round out a wonderful set of adventures that fans of the character will absolutely love, and if you're still on the fence, might just win you over in the process.

Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #3 takes the series into unexpected directions once more, and the return to form is most welcome.

Superman has rarely been better, and the series only seems to be getting better from here.

Green Lantern continues to capture the heart of what makes this character and this mythology so special, and the ride only looks to get more wild from here.

The very end does tease something intriguing, but it's not enough to overcome what's already transpired, leading to a finale that unfortunately doesn't stick the landing.

"The Final Moments of Moon Knight" has officially arrived, and yet in many ways, Moon Knight #30 reads like a hopeful beginning as much as it does a heartwrenching conclusion. Jed MacKay, Alessandro Cappuccio, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Cory Petit craft a thrilling, heartfelt, and ultimately satisfying ending for Marc Spector's story that also sets up an exciting new era for the Moon Knight legacy.

All of the various elements came together quite well in Radiant Black #27.5, and of the two, this is the issue that left me wanting more.

Granted, there's nothing we didn't necessarily know revealed about Marshall throughout, and when compared to issue #27.5 there are some elements that I preferred, but overall this is still a strong issue that is setting the stage for bigger things to come.

Blue Beetle consistently hits it out of the park, and issue #4 continues the winning streak.

Cat Fight's vintage spy thrills and constant surprises has been a highlight of this year's pull list, and hopefully the ending will bring this adventure to a satisfying close.

Ranger Academy has truly discovered its stride, and things only look to go up from here.

The mixture of distrust, fear, paranoia, and trauma would be compelling even without the Stranger Things world to play in, but as an extension of that world, it becomes something all the better, and an easy recommendation to any fan of the franchise.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic has evolved past being simply a Batman Beyond story and more a story of two halves of Gotham fighting for survival, and that's part of what's made the series so fascinating.

It remains to be seen if next issue's answers will make that last reveal hit like it needs to, but as an issue unto itself, Moon Knight #29 was a home run, and next month can't get here soon enough.

This is absolutely one of the best series in comics, but it's also one of the most rewarding experiences you'll read all year, and I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Spider-Woman #1 is a hell of a start, and hopefully, things only get better from here.

One of the biggest changes in Captain Marvel's new series is the comic book's supporting cast, and it's always a bit dicey to switch up something that works to try something untested. The risk is paying off though, as writer Alyssa Wong has already found a welcome rhythm for Carol Danvers and Yuna Yang.

This is just bombastic fun, and should only get better when Kong enters the picture.

"Darkest Hour" continues to live up to its namesake, though as always the Rangers are at their best when their backs are against the wall.

City of the Dead hit the ground running, and the series finale didn't miss a beat.

New story threads abound throughout the issue, and Joshua Williamson pulls at just the right ones with expert precision, revealing new layers to what's happening now and teasing important elements for what is to come.

The villain storyline woven between everything isn't as compelling as Iceman's own story, and there's a lengthy block of text in the form of a letter that slowed everything to a crawl, but those are relatively small issues that don't bring down all the things that clearly work. Hopefully we get more teacups down the line, but even if this is the only one, it's one I truly enjoyed.

Green Lantern #5 sets a high bar moving forward, and I couldn't recommend it more.

While the beginning of the issue could have sped things up a bit, it's a small complaint for an otherwise stellar finale, and I'm eager to see what's next for all involved.

Red Goblin has been one of 2023's most pleasant surprises, and I'm happy to report it also nailed the landing.

If the series can continue to subvert expectations, Spine-Tingling Spider-Man will thrive, so while I enjoyed the debut more, the series is still on the right track.

There's a lot happening throughout Blue Beetle #3, but one can't help but first acknowledge how stunning this series continues to be.

House of Slaughter kicks into high gear in Part Four of Alabaster, but it's the crescendo of tension unease that allows that brutal chaos to become so effective.

The Dead Lucky seems to be hitting its stride, and things only look to get more entertaining from here.

Consider me sold on Ranger Academy, and I think any Power Rangers fan will find something to enjoy as well.

Writer Dan Slott kicks off the issue with a fun pun-filled team-up with Spider-Man, but the book really starts to hit its stride when Spider-Man takes a back seat to Bailey.

Stranger Things: The Voyage #1 completely surprised me, and I can't wait to see what other mysteries this tale of the sea holds.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic has been superb through its first three issues, and while issue #4 is a different beast in some ways, it's no less compelling.

A new era begins in Captain Marvel #1, a series from writer Alyssa Wong, artist Jan Bazaldua, colorist Bryan Valenza, and letterer Ariana Maher, and it's off to quite the stellar start.

"Darkest Hour" has lived up to its name through and through, and Power Rangers fans should absolutely take notice.

Radiant Black just stomped on the gas pedal and left everything in the dust, so if you haven't jumped on yet you have some catching up to do.

This issue was captivating from beginning to end, and the wait for issue 35 is going to be excruciating.

When Astonishing Iceman #3 shines, it shines brightly, but several elements hold it back from reaching that next level.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong is off to a strong start, and if it can strike a balance in "screen time" between the heroes, villains, and monsters, we could be in for a great time.

The issue's frenzied pace allowed the ending to sneak up a bit unexpectedly, but that's credit to the story and the final collision that the arc has been building towards.

I didn't expect to be so taken with Spine-Tingling Spider-Man #1, but after just one issue, you can absolutely count me in on what comes next.

For its 850th issue anniversary, DC's Superman didn't skimp on the content, and those who have enjoyed this new era of the series will find much to love.

The adventure itself is largely self contained, but I greatly enjoyed my time with it, and thank any fan of the character will too.

Green Lantern is already hitting its stride and continues to make one of DC's biggest heroes the best he's been in years.

House of Slaughter has discovered yet another breakout character, and hopefully we won't have to say goodbye anytime soon.

There's quite a bit happening within the pages of Moon Knight: City of the Dead #4, but the book's North Star is strong enough to keep things on track and the reader from losing their way.

Jaime might not be at the top of his game at the moment, but Blue Beetle the series surely is.

Ranger Academy is finally here, and if the debut is any indication, this is set to be a truly delightful adventure.

Red Goblin continues to be one of Marvel's hidden gems, and issues like this cement its top-tier status.

Sheena lives up to her name in Shenna: Queen of the Jungle Fatal Exams #2, and the book shines brightest when she's allowed to simply be her badass jungle warrior self. When the book shifts to her alter-ego to get to the bottom of the mystery, it can be a bit more hit and miss, and some segments just feel completely out of place.

Avengers #5 is not as strong as other issues in the series, but it features some welcome moments that Avengers fans will want to see, and it sets up the team for quite the comeback.

In a year that's been stacked with impressive Batman stories, Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic has shown it not only stands beside those stories, but may even surpass them.

Writer Cullen Bunn delivered some cool moments throughout the series, and at the end of the day the series did what it set out to do, but ultimately there just wasn't anything outside of that that I could get invested in.

"Darkest Hour" has already gotten off to a fantastic start, and I cannot wait to see what's around the next corner.

There are the occasional moments where the dialogue feels just a bit too over the top, but overall City of the Dead continues to explore the Moon Knight mythology in delightful ways, and issue #4 can't get here soon enough.

Spirit World is truly something special, and the only disappointment is that there's just one more issue.

There's plenty of room for more adventure, and hopefully the adventure will get to continue, but even if it doesn't, fans of the series will find a lot to love in this second chapter swan song.

The Dead Lucky #9 is another solid entry in the series, and it seems we could be heading to something even better when issue #10 rolls around.

I'm eager to see where Marcel's story of bitter truths and self reflection takes him, and I think fans of the series will find this Interlude well worth their time.

Erica vs. Cutter was always going to be thrilling, but the attention to detail to everything that surrounds that inevitable collision is shaping up to make it something truly special.

Superman's highly anticipated new arc "The Chained" kicks off in Superman #6, and it was well worth the wait. Writer Joshua Williamson picks up from the shocking cliffhanger of issue #5, and things take a swerve that forces Superman into unfamiliar territory.

All in all, Astonishing Iceman has highlighted the best aspects of the character while further expanding the man behind the powers, and I'm greatly looking forward to what's next.

The comic book's almost vintage heist vibe continues to impress, and after that last page surprise, Cat Fight #4 can't get here soon enough.

Issue #4 starts out promisingly enough, but by page 10, those hopes start to lose steam, and by issue's end, they are all but up in flames.

Green Lantern #3 offers a brilliant one-two punch for Lantern fans of all kinds, and it's not something you should be missing.

The sense of tension and unease found within House of Slaughter #17 is unreal, and the mystery at the center of this story and the lead trying to uncover it are both equally as compelling.

Despite that one potential pitfall, Red Goblin continually discovers new layers in the central host and symbiote dynamic, and I simply can't get enough.

It's a wonderful time to be a Blue Beetle fan, and this newest era is off to one hell of a start.

While some of the Black Spectre plans and plot aren't as strong, the relationship between Hunter's Moon and Moon Knight and their discoveries along the way are well worth your time.

Sheena's school life can bring the pace down a bit too much at times, but there's still fun moments in these sequences as well. Some moments don't quite land, like in one particular tear-filled panel later in the issue, and there are some clunky moments of dialogue or artwork that pop up randomly. That said, I greatly enjoyed Sheena: Queen of the Jungle Fatal Exams #1, and I'm looking forward to seeing where this wild ride goes.

Cullen Bunn has successfully created an unstoppable monster in this hostless Carnage, but that's also made the battles just feel like truly one-sided affairs, and after a while you can't help but want the other team to get a win. The hook at the end of this issue is promising, but it also feels like it could be a bait and switch, and I really need our team to get a win or two to keep me invested.

Overall though, this is a stellar celebration worthy of the franchise, and every fan should not hesitate to give it a look.

The ending of the issue has the most to offer, but if you're not already invested in this event there's just not much that feels additive to what MacKay is doing in the main series.

With that massive hook at the end topping things off, Neo-Gothic #2 is just too damn good, and you should absolutely be reading this series.

"The Darkest Hour" is finally here in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #111, and it more than lives up to the foreboding title.

City of the Dead never quite goes where you expect it to, and the theme of Moon Knight's past continually catching up to him is a strong one. I'm eager to see what lies ahead.

The Dead Lucky hits the ground running with an explosive fight that can't help but impress, and just when you think it's over artist French Carlomagno and colorist Matt Iacono come back for round two and show you just how much of a powerhouse Bibi can be.

Death of the Venomverse #2 lives up to is title with an ever growing death toll, and the team of Cullen Bunn, Gerardo Sandoval, Jim Campbell, Victor Olazaba, and Clayton Cowles lean into the brutality and spectacle that the premise commands.

Something is Killing the Children has truly never been better, and issue #32 will easily go down as one of my all time favorites of the series.

Spider-Boy is officially here to stay, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Early on Spider-Boy was a small but still delightful highlight of the series, but he's quickly become my favorite part of the book, and that is cemented in Spider-Man #11.

This isn't a must read, as it doesn't tie into anything in the current run, but for longtime fans who want to see a unique and rewarding spin on times past, this is certainly worth their time.

Writer Jed MacKay set the table for the Ashen Combine to become a genuine Avengers-level threat, and that promise is realized in Avengers #4.

The scenario has been teed up quite nicely, and issue #17 is all set to shift into overdrive.

If you're a fan of either character, there's no question you should pick this up.

Red Goblin's most notable duo might have taken a bit of a backseat here, but the series as a whole looks to have benefited from it in the long run, and this series continues to only get better with time.

Spirit World is one of my favorite new series of the year, and that doesn't look to stop anytime soon.

2023 is truly shaping up to be the year of Superman, and the Superman Annual is a perfect example as to why.

I'm always up for a new spotlight on Iceman, but it's even better when it's this damn good.

Writer Bill Willingham teams up with artist Leonardo Manco and letterer Taylor Esposito to create a world that feels true to the original's overall look and aesthetic while increasing the level of detail and brutality.

It's not very new-reader friendly, but I still enjoyed Grim #12 quite a bit, and I'm excited to see what comes next.

Moon Knight #26 delivers a fantastic hook but also a deep dive into one of the best Moon Knight additions in ages, and the series looks to only get better from here.

Carol and T'Challa's exchanges are especially great, and while a few pieces of dialogue try a bit too hard, it's a small hiccup in an otherwise excellent issue, and I can't wait to see these bigger than life battles play out when Avengers #4 hits.

Whether you're a long time fan or someone looking to start something new, I couldn't recommend Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #1 more.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #110 gets "Darkest Hour" off to a thrilling start, and Power Rangers fans better buckle up for quite the ride.

Summoner's War: Awakening has been a delight since it launched, but with the added emotional weight in issue #4, it only seems to be getting better from here.

Bibi's life never fails to get a bit more complicated, though that only makes things more compelling for those reading along, and Dead Lucky #7 fits that bill perfectly.

City of the Dead captures what's allowed this new era of Moon Knight to thrive while adding its own flavor and style to the mix, and it would seem that Moon Knight fans have a whole new reason to look forward to new comic book day.

HyperForce fans will find a lot to love, and hopefully this means we'll get to see more of them down the line.

Radiant Black is never afraid to soar to new horizons, but it will always be the heart of its characters that moves the engine forward.

Something Is Killing The Children continues to be one of the best series in comics, and issues like this only cement its status.

Cat Fight's debut showed potential, but Cat Fight #2 lifts that ceiling tenfold and showcases just how much potential the series truly has.

There are a few elements in the book that feel like they've been explored quite a bit in the past, but there's enough that feels new to offset that, creating a worthwhile trip for those who dare.

Moon Knight #25 exudes style, brutality, and intrigue, and is a must read across the board.

Red Goblin has been such a welcome surprise, and issue #6 only continues that trend.

Spirit World #3 is a breath of fresh air and goes to show how wonderfully limitless and at times terrifying the magical world of DC can be.

Fence: Redemption has something for everyone, and those that dive into this one of a kind world will not regret it in the least.

A host of questions get welcome answers in Junk Rabbit #4, but the heavy exposition that comes with those answers hampers the book's pace, especially when you see story points coming from a mile away.

First Blood is fittingly a perfect place to start and in more ways than one.

Spider-Man's "Maxed Out" storyline has felt like classic Spider-Man through and through, and while that feeling remains in Spider-Man #10, surprisingly those aren't the elements that made the biggest impression in the conclusion.

Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have an innate ability to identify the critical elements of a character and showcase them in a way that leaves fans with a welcomed new appreciation of what they do and what they mean to the larger world around them. The same is true of Marvel's Thor Annual #1, though Thor isn't the only recipient of this attention and effort.

Hell to Pay has been a wild ride and at this point I'm quite invested in seeing how things play out from here, and Book 1 can't get here soon enough.

Nostalgia #2 was lacking some of the father son dynamic that made the Nostalgia #1 so compelling, and thankfully that is back in full force with Nostalgia #3, and even with an added element of intrigue to boot.

If you're on the fence with The Coinless, I think you'll find this to be well worth your time, and longtime fans will definitely not want to miss out.

Summoner's War: Awakening has become one of my favorite worlds to visit, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Vanish has been one of the most emotionally taxing stories in recent memory for me, as you can't help but root for Oliver to get his life back, and the finale in Vanish #8 may be the hardest hitting issue to date.

Bloodline: Daughter of Blade comes to a thrilling close in issue #5, and the future of the character looks brighter than ever.

Artist Simona Di Gianfelice, colorists Raul Angulo and Jose Enrique Fernandez, and letterer Ed Dukeshire know how to craft a Ranger fight, but it's really the Lord Zedd vs. Mistress Vile showdown that steals the show.

Nightwing has rarely been better, and issue #105 is another brilliant example of why.

After a promising debut, Nostalgia #2 takes a while to get going, but once we hit the issue's second half the book starts to build momentum, steering us towards the relationship that seems to be the heart of this noir tale.

The ship based combat was a bit underwhelming, but when the characters are in the forefront there's a lot to like here, and I'm excited to see where this entertaining adventure heads next.

Banshee's powers make every page come alive, and when the story moves to darker places, the team hits just as hard, delivering one of the series' most unexpected heartbreaking moments so far.

Captain Marvel #50 is understandably heavy at times, but also brilliantly funny and hopeful, and it's a lovely conclusion to what will be considered a classic run on the character. Higher, Further, Faster indeed.

Green Lantern is off to a truly stellar start, and it is likely to only get better from here.

Writer Jed MacKay is able to flesh out Marc's other personalties without derailing the momentum of the story, and in just one issue Morpheus makes quite the impressive as well, with an arc that feels earned despite of how compact it is.

Writer Scott Hoffman successfully steps over from the realm of music into the world of comics with a new ComiXology Original series Nostalgia, weaving elements of his own life into an offbeat but thrilling noir adventure.

Bishop: War College's grand finale hits the ground running and brings the story to a satisfying close, and looks to have achieved its goal in shining a light on an eclectic and compelling group of heroes.

There's simply nothing else like Hell To Pay in comics at the moment, and as writer Charles Soul and artist Will Sliney continue to build out the world, it only mesmerizes that much more.

There's moments to enjoy, but I'll be happy when Red Goblin is able to get back to what it does best.

Dan Slott and Mark Bagley's Spider-Man has succeeded in capturing the tone of a classic Spider-Man adventure, with the artwork dialogue, and premise coming together beautifully at times. There are other times however where the book's tone and dialogue shift from classic to dated, and while Spider-Man #9 has plenty of stellar moments, the ever shifting balance of those two tones can't help but take you out of the story.

Cat Fight is off to a fantastic start, and I'm quite intrigued to see where this thrilling tale of thievery goes next.

Bishop: War College feels like it's nearing its peak right as we move into the final book, and hopefully that means the finale will be even better.

Dudley Datson and The Forever Machine might have been a bit slow at times, but I've truly enjoyed my time with the series, and the ending was a major part of that.

Radiant Pink showcased why Eva is a true gem in the Radiant franchise, and the team saved some of the best for last.

The future looks bright as ever for Summoner's War: Awakening, and issue #3 can't get here soon enough.

Supermassive 2023 #1 pulls together its stellar cast of heroes and weaves in classic adventuring elements to create a gorgeous and thoroughly entertaining team-up; both longtime fans and those jumping in for the first time will find something to love.

The more the haze on how to root for lifts the more this series picks up steam, and issue #7 is easily one of the best issues yet.

Bloodline is as addictive as ever, and hopefully the series only gets more entertaining from here.

House of Slaughter has truly come into its own with "The Butcher's Return," and I cannot wait to see what lies in store from here.

While I'm happy to move forward with less Zordon-focused storytelling, the issue delivered and set the stage for even bigger moments down the line, and I enjoyed every minute.

Red Goblin might just be my biggest surprise of the year, and at this point I'm Normie and Rascal for life.

Superman continues to fire on all cylinders, and is unquestionably one of DC's best and brightest.

Assassin's Apprentice tees up chapter two brilliantly, but chapter one has been stellar across the board, and chapter two can't get here soon enough.

Captain Marvel #49 is spectacular, and if issue #50 is this good, the series will cap off in sensational fashion.

Hal Jordan is back on Earth in Green Lantern #1, and it seems like the change of pace has done wonders for him, as the series captures his charisma and fearlessness while showcasing how those can be some of his biggest weaknesses in the ever-changing world around him.

I truly enjoyed every chapter of Stargirl: The Lost Children, and I'd read it all over again in a heartbeat.

I didn't have a Moon Knight and Venom team-up on my bingo card this year, but after what writer Jed MacKay, artist Alessandro Cappuccio, colorist Rachelle Rosenberg, and letterer Cory Petit accomplished here, I'd sign up for more in a heartbeat.

The world of Radiant Black continues to surprise and impress, and that doesn't show any signs of stopping anytime soon.

The central premise of the issue, Spider-Boy's inclusion, and the artwork all hooked me, and the future of this series look brighter than ever.

Blue Beetle: Graduation Day lives up to its name with a captivating finale that sets the stage for many more stories to come.

Plush has been a series unlike anything else I've read, and though there aren't as many surprises in the finale, that didn't keep it from delivering a brutally fulfilling conclusion.

I have no idea at times who to root for, but I simply can't turn away, and I need more answers ASAP.

This series has yet to find the perfect balance between its split storytelling, but when the series hits it really hits, so hopefully there's more of that to come in future issues.

House of Slaughter #14 is heart wrenching but also continues to explore captivating themes of family and abandonment, creating a one of a kind gut punch that deserves any comic fan's attention.

Writer Melissa Flores has swiftly stacked the odds against them by pulling together several longer running threads and providing a few surprises along the way, and that's before we even get to that cliffhanger ending.

Red Goblin's main antagonist hasn't really captivated me yet, but as long as Normie and Norman are at the book's core, this series has my complete attention.

The first Summoners War series was a delight, and with Summoners War: Awakening #1, it hasn't lost a step.

Superman #3 meets the high bar of its predecessors and continues to plant the seeds of what's to come in stellar fashion, and I couldn't recommend it more.

Assassin's Apprentice has become a series I look forward to each and every month, and the table is set for even bigger things in the future.

This is the issue fans have been waiting for ever since Bloodline: Daughter of Blade was first revealed, and you won't be disappointed.

Captain Marvel is heading towards its epic finale, and if issue #48 is any indication of what to expect, fans are in for something truly special.

Sometimes a comic doesn't truly come into its own until the final act, with a single major revelation re-contextualizing the pages that came before. Such is the case with Moon Knight #22, which makes a welcome spotlight shift towards Tigra while still having a profound effect on Marc Spector.

Writer Kyle Higgins is an expert at lulling you into a false sense of security and then hitting you with a knockout blow, and that is on display once more with a delightful sequence on the expansion of the Radiant brand.

Hell to Pay #4 finally brings the book's main antagonist into the spotlight, and though there's a sizable runway before takeoff, the end result is worth the wait.

Sweet Paprika: Black, White, & Pink is charming, endearing, hilarious, romantic, and off the wall in the best ways, and for fans of the original, this is a must buy.

Radiant Pink #4 captures the fantastical sense of fun that makes this series shine, as should any issue that has you battling a planet of armored cats with lasers. Yes, that is a thing, and it's awesome, as is the snappy banter from writers Meghan Camarena and Melissa Flores.

The issue delivers a satisfying end to this current chapter, and I was quite entertained throughout this latest Spider-Verse adventure.

Blue Beetle: Graduation Day has fulfilled its premise in so many ways to this point, and the finale looks to end this fantastic series in epic fashion.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II has been a pure adrenaline rush of a series thus far, and issue #4 continues to speed along at record speed.

Something is Killing the Children continues to be one of the best comics in the market, and issue #40 is another prime example of why.

Stargirl: The Lost Children feels like nothing else DC is creating right now, a vintage throwback with a modern fantastical twist, and I simply cannot get enough of it.

The team behind Inferno Girl Red have created something truly special, and issue #3 had me falling out of my proverbial seat.

The evolving relationship between Zordon and the Rangers is always one of the book's more fascinating points, and that continues to be the case here, made all the better by Grace and Zordon's more vulnerable conversations. Things are starting to heat up, and the series should only get better from here.

This oddball adventure walks a path all its own, and every month I can't help but get whisked away in the delightful insanity.

Superman #1 was truly outstanding, setting a high bar for issue #2, and yet somehow issue #2 cleared it with ease.

Granted, the overarching narrative doesn't move forward that much, but I was riveted the entire way through, and I'll take more issues like this in a heartbeat.

This series just hasn't clicked for me yet, but there are some quality pieces on the board, and hopefully those can come together as the story continues.

A few odd panels here and there can't deter from an otherwise fantastic issue, and this arc has been one of my absolute favorites in this already impressive Captain Marvel run.

This series has hit a new high point with "The Butcher's Return," and if you're not jumping in you are missing out on simply stellar storytelling.

Red Goblin came out of nowhere for me, but so far I'm immensely enjoying it, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

There's an extensive amount of dialogue occupying the page, but Kelly, Bellaire, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou keeps thing from becoming overwhelming. I'm completely invested at this point, and the hooks only sink in further with every issue.

Bloodline: Daughter of Blade had a killer debut, and though issue #2 narrows down its focus a bit, it doesn't lose any momentum.

You know an issue has your attention when you arrive at the end and it feels as if no time has passed. That's what happened with Moon Knight #21, made even more impressive by the fact that Moon Knight isn't even in the majority of the story.

Blue Beetle: Graduation Day has been simply stunning from the very beginning, but issue #4 might just be one of the series' best looking issues yet.

Radiant Black excels at finding new ways for its characters to evolve, all while keeping an eye towards the future, and it's safe to say it will only get better from here.

Spider-Man #6 recaptures the fun and surreal nature that's been the highlight of this series while also moving certain characters into fresh directions, and here's hoping the upcoming finale can stick the landing.

There are quite a few heady concepts in play here, but I was hooked from beginning to end, and I'm on the edge of seat to see where this all goes.

Inferno Girl Red #2 has only made the wait for the first chapter's finale all that more difficult, and issue #3 can't get here soon enough.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles always seems to find a way to reinvent what this crossover and this team-up can be, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II #3 shakes things up again in a wonderfully zany way.

Plush is such a quirky mix of gore and charm, though issue #4 eases up on the gore just a bit with stellar results.

Radiant Pink #3's title of "The World's Worst Love Story" couldn't be more apt, and while the story lives up to that title, that's only part of why this particular issue is so entertaining.

When Slaughter is actually involved, the book is as good as ever, and while I will always want to see her featured more, I can't argue that the second half of the issue didn't lose one ounce of steam.

With the shaking up of the status quo in Action Comics, it's officially the dawn of a new era for Clark Kent in Superman #1, and that new era is off to a sensational start. Superman's always been iconic but it can be easy to lose sight of why, and Superman #1 beautifully captures the spirit and genuine heart of DC's most powerful hero while also evolving his extended cast and his relationship with his biggest villain.

The fact that this universe is continuing delights me to no end, and Batman: Beyond the White Knight showcases just why this universe is so special.

"Revenge of The Brood" is shaping up to be a standout of this already great run, and it's all building to a truly epic conclusion.

After a small detour with some promising ideas, House of Slaughter seems to have recaptured its early magic, and it seems even better things are in store.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has done a lovely job of balancing the book's two Ranger teams, but there's just something special that happens when they interact. Issue #105 takes this to heart and is all the better for it.

I won't call it filler because I did enjoy aspects of the issue, especially Peter and Silk's relationship, and the artwork by Mark Bagley, Edgar Delgado, John Dell, and Joe Caramagna is perfect for the spin on this vintage adventure. As part five of an ongoing story though, the fact that there's so little movement is disappointing.

Assassin's Apprentice is a series I now look forward to each and every month, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

There is inconsistency throughout the issue though, and the villains in the midst of everything didn't exactly grab me. This could still turn into something great, but it's off to a rocky launch.

Red Goblin #1 was a truly pleasant surprise, and I'm eager to see what lies right around the corner.

With an equally distinct and vivid art style coupled with it, Bloodline: Daughter of Blade #1 is everything I was hoping for, and the future for the character and this world couldn't be brighter.

"Moon Debut" by Danny Lore, Ray-Anthony Height, Le Beau Underwood, Scott Hanna, and Rachelle Rosenberg also impresses, and while there are campy moments, it doesn't feel out of place due to the era it takes place in, and how it comes full circle is ultimately satisfying. Moon Knight is used to stacking wins at this point, and I simply don't see that changing.

Radiant Black's never afraid to take chances and seek creativity, and rarely does that not pay off. The same can be said for Radiant Black #21, as Kyle Higgins finds a stellar way to twist traditional concepts, such as a government connection. Only in Radiant Black would you have superheroes working with the USPS on apprehending supervillains, and Higgins never misses a chance to mine that golden premise for comedic gems.

Blue Beetle: Graduation Day is shaping up to be something special, and issue #3 is a brilliant example of why.

The pace does slow though when things move into history lessons, and when the action does pick up, there are times where it just doesn't have the weight you feel the moment should carry. Things do leave off in an interesting place though, and if issue #5 can hit the ground running, we could be in for something great.

The twisting supernatural adventure that is Hell to Pay continues to surprise in issue #3, and while it is disappointing we don't get a ton of follow up on that cliffhanger, there's so much other intrigue at play.

This was a stellar introduction to what promises to be a fan favorite, and issue #2 can't get here soon enough.

Seriously, this comic book is just gorgeous, but like always it has the heart and thrills to back it all up.

Plush continues to baffle me in a lot of ways, but that's actually one of its charms.

Even if you've been missing out on "Dark Web," do yourself a favor and do not miss the excellence that is Dark Web: X-Men.

At times the artwork can be a bit too clunky and lacking in detail, but overall I couldn't have been more enamored with Jace's return, and I think you will be too.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has done wonders for its villains within the pages of the comics, and few have benefited from that more than Rita Repulsa. That's why it might be easy to assume that there's not as much left to explore with the character, but Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #104 wastes no time in putting that theory to bed.

Stargirl: The Lost Children has been such a wonderfully pleasant surprise, and issue #3 continues the book's upward trend.

The world of Assassin's Apprentice feels has a weight and aura to it that makes hooks you in despite its at times unwelcoming grit.

It's sad to say goodbye, but Batman: Urban Legends saved one of its best for last, and I couldn't recommend it more.

Jed MacKay's ability to hone in on small aspects of Moon Knight's mythology that haven't really been explored yet is second to none, and that once again fuels the series in Moon Knight #19.

There wasn't a dull moment to be found, and what's amazing is this battle is only getting started. Something Is Killing The Children has never been better.

This latest adventure has been wonderfully thrilling, and it is only getting better from here.

Radiant Pink hit the ground running and thankfully issue #2 keeps the momentum going.

When we're in the midst of the Spider-Verse but keeping the focus on two of the more delightful characters, the issue rocks, and when the book hits you with a Spider-Verse twist you aren't expecting, it rocks. When things are just moving around and setting plot points, it's just not that interesting, and hopefully, Spider-Man #5 can find that sweet spot and balance things out.

Sean Murphy, Dave Stewart, and Andworld Design have created such a stunning and unique corner of the Batman universe in White Knight, and frankly, I'm sad that another chapter is about to come to a close. If the finale hits as hard as this though, we're in for something truly special.

Blue Beetle: Graduation Day is an easy recommendation, and it only looks to be getting better from here.

With a sure-to-be thrilling throwdown on the horizon, I simply can't get enough of this series, and if you're keeping up with "Dark Web" it's an absolute must.

It would be easy to fall short of expectations with a sequel, but Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II #1 instead builds off the foundation set in the original series and jumps straight into the delightful moments only achievable with this particular pairing, and by issue's end the foot is firmly planted on the gas pedal moving forward.

Moon Knight #18 thankfully sticks the landing too, once again showcasing how Moon Knight so wonderfully fits Jed MacKay like a blood-soaked glove.

Coupled with the ongoing quest to find the deadliest Pizza Delivery man ever, you've got yourself a chance for comedic gold.

To be honest, Plush #2 is a gory shock to the system, and while I'm still trying to process it all. I have figured out that I need to know what's happening and how all this ends.

Batman: Urban Legends has been on a roll as of late, and Urban Legends #22 continues that trend with three more stellar adventures in the Batman universe.

The Rangers find themselves in a whirlwind of change, and while returning foes and powerful new ones are certainly putting them on their heels, the most captivating battles are happening amongst themselves. That's where Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has always shined brightest, and writer Melissa Flores continues that tradition here, exploring the fractures that have started developing within the team but also within how the team views Zordon's overall approach.

After Something is Killing the Children spun its wheels for just a bit, the series is thankfully back in stride, opening up with an unexpected moment in time that did wonders for Riqui.

Stargirl: The Lost Children #1 was one of the month's most pleasant surprises, and issue #2 meets that same high bar.

Sometimes it is all about how you stick the landing, and in that regard Stuff of Nightmares absolutely killed it.

Unfortunately, the bulk of this issue just doesn't have the emotional weight it is clearly going for.

Quite a bit of world-building can be found in Assassin's Apprentice #1, though it sets about doing so mostly through dialogue, and that helps keep you bonded to Fitz's journey through this harsh and cold world.

If the goal was to get me invested in "Dark Web," mission accomplished, and if the mission was to deliver one of my fave Marvel team-ups of the year? Well, looks like they knocked that out of the park too.

Hell To Pay continues to deliver intriguing surprises, saving a major curveball for last, and one that teases a much grander scope.

While Nathan and Marshall's ever-evolving friendship continues to be the book's foundation, Radiant Black has also developed a stellar supporting cast of heroes, and Radiant Black #20 starts to move them all into position for a truly epic adventure.

At times the artwork can be a bit inconsistent from page to page, but it didn't happen often enough to take me out of the adventure, and Captain Marvel and the X-Men continue to be a winning combination

Damage Control saved some of its best chaos for the finale, and Gus is right in the center of all of it. That's what makes it all work though, as writers Adam F. Goldberg and Hans Rodionoff utilize him perfectly throughout in both comedic moments and moments of revelation.

It's a lovely end to what has been an amazing ride, and hopefully, this isn't the last we see of this wonderfully unique wrestling world.

Once that final hook clicks into place, it all makes for a stellar debut and a series that no Radiant fan will want to miss.

The stakes couldn't be higher in Spider-Man #3, and yet everything feels remarkably status quo for the heroes.

If you're looking for a series that brilliantly encapsulates the hero at its core, look no further than Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #1.

At times certain characters feel a bit too simplistic, but the over-the-top nature of it all and unpredictability helps overcome that, and there's a lot of fun to be had here. -

The first few pages of this story seem a bit stilted and in comparison to later parts of the book, but despite its slow start I am rather captivated and eager to see where this all goes.

This new era of Power Rangers hit the ground running and at this point shows no signs of slowing down in the least.

Stuff of Nightmares lives up to its title in its third installment, furthering Isaac's descent into madness while also introducing new elements of intrigue that should make the finale all the more compelling.

Vanish seems to be hitting its stride with issue #3, and issue #4 can't get here soon enough.

Murderworld: Avengers #1 winds up being one of the most pleasant surprises of the week in comics, and I look forward to seeing where this particular tale goes from here.

There was still plenty to love though, so while it wasn't the strongest issue of the series, it was still easily worth recommending.

I didn't know what to expect from Stargirl: The Lost Children #1, but it didn't matter, because what I received was fantastic, and I eagerly await the rest of this miniseries.

Overall though, another stellar issue of one of the most thoroughly entertaining Bat-books out there.

Hopefully, issue #5 can find that wonderful mix that drove issues 1# and #3, but there is fun to be had here. It just didn't click with me.

Do A Powerbomb is already a modern classic and a true must-read for any wrestling fan, and I cannot wait to see how this thrilling adventure unfolds.

There's no shortage of action in Dudley Datson and The Forever Machine #3, though the book soars most when two inventors are simply having a conversation... and one of them is a dog of course.

It deserves recognition that Alessandro Cappuccio and Rachelle Rosenberg were absolutely born to work on a Moon Knight series, and Moon Knight #17 is a shining example of why.

You are correct, everyone loves giant robots, but there's substance in the layer underneath as well, and that's where Radiant Black continues to do some of its best work.

This is likely the calm before the sheer chaos that is on the way if that ending is anything to go by, but I've really enjoyed this adventure so far, and that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon.

At times certain characters, namely Cyclops and War Machine, look just a little off, but otherwise, the artwork is solid and especially stellar when a fight kicks into gear. I couldn't be more excited to see where this goes, and it's a perfect time for a Captain Marvel and X-Men adventure.

Damage Control is simply marvelous fun, and the series seems to be hitting its stride at the right time.

Hell to Pay #1 is immensely ambitious, and though it has flaws, it succeeds in hooking the reader on a truly distinctive and promising premise, setting it apart from everything else out there in more ways than one.

Murphy and Dave Stewart don't know how to create a book that isn't simply stunning, and that attention to detail only makes those heartfelt reunions and heartbreaking twists hit that much harder. I simply adore this series, and Book Six is no exception.

Scarlet has really turned into something with a vibe all its own, and I'm excited to see where things head next.

The relationships among the Rangers have always been the book's central core, and thankfully that is still the case here too. Power Rangers seems to be in great hands.

There's something charming and so peculiar about this trip down horror lane, and I can't help but want to know how it all ends.

Vanish's debut was stellar, and while Vanish #2 does stumble a bit out of the gate, by issue's end it managed to recapture my attention and bring welcome additions into the fold.

Aquaman: Andromeda saved its best issue for last, crafting an Aquaman story unlike anything else.

Crypt of Shadows delivers more hits than misses and is a fitting way to ring in Halloween for Marvel fans.

Dialogue is king in Moon Knight #16, which is saying something when a book looks this stunning.

This was a fun issue and a solid start to a new arc, but hopefully, even better things lie ahead.

Things start a little slow, but by issue's end I was unquestionably hooked.

Overall, I enjoyed this issue from beginning to end, and love how this series continues to find new avenues of the Dark Knight to explore and isn't afraid to take chances, and this issue is a perfect example of that in action.

Captain Marvel #42 definitely feels like a tie-in to A.X.E., but it has some fun with the larger premise and keeps the focus on the delightful series cast.

Do A Powerbomb is as compelling as ever, and thankfully it still has even more tricks up its sleeve

Bringing Once & Future to a close effectively was always going to be a tall order, but issue #30 meets that high bar and delivers a satisfying closing to this thrilling chapter with a wink towards what the future could hold. I already can't wait to jump back into this story once more from the beginning.

Basilisk #12 delivered a satisfying and thrilling ending, one that I will be thinking about for quite some time.

Slott and Bagley's Spider-Man hits those classic Spidey notes while also adding in a few new riffs of its own, and you can absolutely sign me up for what comes next.

While there are several outstanding Batman books on the market right now, Beyond The White Knight deserves to be recognized as one of the best, and somehow it just keeps getting better.

Overall the issue isn't bad, it's just okay, and that might be a letdown after such a fantastic start. Here's hoping issue #3 finds that comedic goldmine once again.

Everything has come together brilliantly in House of Slaughter #9, and if that continues, "Scarlet" could end up becoming one of the biggest surprises of the year.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100 is absolutely everything you hoped it would be, and the perfect way to turn the page as we head into a new era.

Radiant Black #18 is everything I love about comics wrapped into one issue, and I couldn't recommend it more.

While this genre is a bit hit and miss with me in general, Stuff of Nightmares #1 genuinely immersed me into its unsettling and at times gruesome world, and you can consider me captivated.

There are still quite a few questions to answer, but that's part of the fun of it all, and while this grittier world might not be for everyone, I'm already 100% all in.

The series may have taken a little longer than people had hoped, but it's still become one of the most consistently excellent books in DC's catalog.

Captain Marvel's trial of magic has come to its satisfying end with issue #41, and longtime fans of the series will delight in how Kelly Thompson brings so many threads together while also pulling at new ones that will undoubtedly lead to new storylines down the line.

Do A Powerbomb can simply do no wrong, and issue #4 continues the series' march towards classic status.

If you're looking for an adventure full of fun and bombastic action, look no further.

Dudley Datson and The Forever Machine #2 carries over the momentum from issue one's chaotic ending and then expands the parameters of the story 10-fold.

The love story between Paprika and Dill is not one that I expected, but it is absolutely one I'm glad to have read, and I honestly can't wait to read it all over again.

Frankly, this issue is worth it just for that Reese and Marc scene alone, and as a whole, Moon Knight #15 is one not to be missed.

While I'm sad this series is marching towards its end, it's making for some of the best comic storytelling ever, and I wouldn't miss any of it for the world.

Artist Letizia Cadonici and colorist Francesco Segala are on their A-Game here, creating an issue that fits perfectly within the world and overall vibe of the ever-expanding Slaughter-verse and yet still stands on its own.

The Death Ranger's story isn't over yet, but if you're invested in what happens next, this is an absolute must-read.

Batman: White Knight Presents Red Hood might have only lasted two issues, but it packed quite a bit into those two issues and then found a way to somehow make Beyond The White Knight's ongoing story even better in the process.

I truly enjoyed getting to know these oddball characters and following them into whatever fantastical scenario they get lost in. Damage Control was a truly pleasant surprise and delivered a world of charm and mayhem that I cannot wait to return to next month.

Magic is one of the most popular games in existence for a variety of reasons, with the strength of its heroes and world being a major part of the franchise's appeal. Those new to that world who aren't as familiar with its many citizens and landmarks are always looking for a path into what so many already adore, and Magic: Ajani Goldmane #1 might just be one such path.

Radiant Black is always full of surprises, and the fun doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon.

Sure the answer of Thor's origin is revealed, but the journey there is as important if not more than the destination, and it turns out this story was one worth waiting for.

While messing with magic has rarely gone Carol's way, it has led to some wonderful storytelling and discovery of what makes Captain Marvel so great to begin with, and thankfully it's not over yet.

Do A Powerbomb is beyond special and I couldn't recommend it any more.

With five stories to choose from, Batman: Urban Legends #18 truly offers something for every type of Batman fan, and without a doubt deserves a spot on your pull list this week.

It isn't required reading mind you, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the first issue, and the promise of seeing Moon Girl and the X-Men team up is more than enough to keep me hooked for issue #2.

With one issue to go before the monumental Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #100, Power Rangers #22 impressively sets the tone and the stakes for the high-profile event while also delivering several unexpected moments along the way.

As things build the series continues to get more complex and more enthralling, but the series hasn't yet maximized its potential, and hopefully Book Three will be the issue to bring it all together.

Red Hood #1 does a wonderful job of setting the stage for a new dynamic duo, and now that the stage is all set, issue #2 should be off to the races right from the start, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Power Rangers fans are in for a treat, but if you're a Pink Ranger fan specifically, you are truly in for something special.

Sweet Paprika continues to twist expectations and evolve its cast in ways both bold and subtle, and it's one of the books I look forward to most each and every month.

This has already been one of Moon Knight's all-time best runs, but it refuses to settle and instead continues to reach impressive new heights, and it seems to be only getting better from here.

Once & Future #28 is filled with brutal twists and turns that will surely throw longtime fans for a loop, and while that's always been a series hallmark, things hit a bit close to home this time around.

Aquaman fans will find all sorts of shining character moments to love, but as a whole, the series wasn't as much of a home run as I hoped it would be.

The pieces are all here to create something special, but right now it still doesn't feel as if all of those pieces are clicking into place

This seems like another major turning point in a series full of them, and I'm once again intrigued to see where this dizzying rollercoaster ride takes us next.

It's been a wonderful ride, and hopefully, it's not too long before Satomi is back in the spotlight.

Something Is Killing The Children is one of the most captivating stories in comics, and that doesn't look to end anytime soon.

It can be quite challenging to follow up a superb first issue, and yet Do A Powerbomb #2 does just that, simply shrugging off pressure of any sort.

Dudley Datson and The Forever Machine was not at all what I expected, but that ultimately made it even better in the end, and I think you'll find something to love here as well.

The ultimate team-up has happened in Godzilla vs. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #4, and this book has truly become as bombastic as you hoped it would thanks to the arrival of Ghidorah.

The classic detective feel of "On His Worst Nights" is a nice way to cap the issue, and while I wouldn't say any of these are must-reads, any Batman fan will find something to enjoy.

Captain Marvel has grown exponentially as a character and a hero thanks to her time in the world of magic, and if this is any indication, we still haven't seen just how far this character can truly go.

Moon Knight brought its first-year run to a thrilling close with issue #12, and issue #13 halts the momentum just a bit to put some promising elements into place.

Power Rangers #21 effortlessly bounces between a broader cosmic adventure and the always unpredictable journey of being a parent.

As we get further away from the Eltarian War the prices paid in that conflict become more and more apparent, and the subtlety is welcome and appreciated.

Once & Future is one of the best to do it, and somehow the series only continues to get better.

This issue was fantastic from beginning to end, and while I wish we had hit this gear sooner, I'm not complaining now that we're here!

Batman: Beyond the White Knight continues to hit new heights, as issue #4 delivers some long-awaited conversations and reveals that kick the larger narrative into overdrive.

Granted, this story isn't required reading in the slightest, but the back and forth between Giles and Spike is worth the price of admission alone, and longtime Buffy fans will likely be quite entertained.

Amongst the Power Ranger battles we all know and love is a welcome focus on the many forms family can take as well as the toll grief carries and how everyone deals with it in their own way, and it all comes together for an issue that no Power Rangers fan should miss.
