Blood Hunters (2024): Vol. 2 #1

Aug 7, 2024

Erica Schultz hasn't missed once and Blood Hunters #1 seals that deal. I really enjoyed Blood Hunters #1-4, so I was ecstatic to see she was continuing the team of Dagger, Elsa, Hallow's Eve and White Widow. Now with the Blood Coven and Spider-Man in the mix, I'm more excited than ever. The Blood Coven is an exciting factor to add in as I'm looking forward to seeing them in action even more. With the Blood Hunters team, I really enjoy them working together as they seem like people who just wouldn't work together, but Schultz does a great job with their banter and tension.

Blood Hunters (2024) #3

Jul 3, 2024

All three stories within Blood Hunters #3 were excellent. Each one gave so much and left me wanting an entire comic run dedicated to the single story. The Blood Hunt event has been stupendous and this made me even more excited for what's next.

Blood Hunters (2024) #4

Jul 17, 2024

Satana and the Blood Bar was a fun read about a business owner having to work around the Blood Hunt, and the business owner just so happens to be a succubus with magical powers. Once More into the Darkness was the conclusion but still left you wanting more. I was ecstatic the words "just the beginning were written at the end of the story. I can't wait to see Elsa, Hallow's Eve, Dagger, and Yelena working together against the Blood Hunt.

Daredevil: Woman Without Fear (2024) #2

Aug 21, 2024

Erica Schultz has written the Woman Without Fear quite a few times, and I feel she nails each time. Everything from the inner dialogue of Elektra to the banter between her and Punisher was exciting to read. Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #2 is excitement all the way through. I just wish I had more of it to read, but I suppose that tells you how fun this comic is. This run has been exciting and fresh so far and I can't wait to read the third installment.

Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII (2024) #3

Jul 24, 2024

With the excitement of the movie coming this week, I can't get enough of these two together. Deadpool and Wolverine have a friendship that knows no bound, or a bromance as Deadpool would call it. Both have high respect for each other, even if it's not said out loud. This was the perfect run to read leading up to Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine. The creative team killed it with this run!

Deadpool (2024) #5

Aug 21, 2024

Deadpool #5 keeps the excitement going strong with excellent fights, fantastic banter, and creative 4th wall breaks. I really love seeing how Deadpool's mind is on his daughter's wellbeing while still holding true to the characteristics that him who he is. I think Cody Ziglar does a really great job at showing a different side of Deadpool without diminishing what we all know and love about his character. It's interesting how he integrated Ellie into Deadpool's day to day life flawlessly while making her into a powerhouse just like her dad.

Dracula: Blood Hunt (2024) #3

Jul 17, 2024

The third installment of Dracula: Blood Hunt does an incredible job at continuing with as much excitement as the first two. I think this one was written with more intensity especially when dealing with Brielle's illusion. You could really feel her terror when she sees what she could become if she were to join Varnae. But you could also feel her anguish when she took that phone call from the person who pulled her out of the illusion. All in all, this is expertly written to have you feel every emotion that plays out in each panel.

Endless (2024) #1

Jul 10, 2024

I found this comic to be very captivating throughout Endless #1. I'm very excited to read the rest of the run as it's said to be a difference universe or a different life in each installment. Overall, this felt really refreshing to me. Hats off to the creative team!

Kid Venom (2024) #1

Jul 10, 2024

I think the writing was fantastic. It kept me on captivated in every panel very easily. The story was fun with twists and turns I didn't see coming. This felt like a Venom comic, but a much more serious and substantial version of it.

Neptune (2024) OGN

Sep 4, 2024

All in all, I'd say this was a homerun. It had so many complex elements that were tackled perfectly by the creative team. You find yourself becoming attached to the main character as well as his ghost sidekick, and finding yourself getting emotionally attached the the story itself. It's easy to lose yourself in this graphic novel. I look forward to seeing what the creative team comes up with next.

Nyx (2024) #1

Jul 24, 2024

I really enjoyed the first installment of NYX and can't wait to see what comes next. The storyline was a lot of fun with Kamala meeting other mutants that are living without a secret identity. Kamala is one of the most loved comic characters and I think she was handled perfectly in NYX #1. The dialogue was very modern and felt authentic to her character. The comic was an exciting ride that had a few twists and turns that kept the excitement flowing throughout NYX #1.

Scarlet Witch (2024) #2

Aug 20, 2024

I am LOVING what Steve Orlando is doing with this run! It's mystical, it's hard-hitting, it's beautiful. Involving the Queen of Nevers with Wanda was such a great choice and a creative way to showcase Wanda being even more of a badass than she already is. I can practically hear the third edition calling my name as a sit here wanting more and more.

Scarlet Witch (2024) #3

Aug 21, 2024

Overall, I think this was a really strong continuation from the first two installments of Scarlet Witch. I absolutely love what Steve Orlando is doing with this run and Wanda's character. Judging by all the callbacks to different times in Wanda's life, I say Orlando has a great grasp on who Wamda is as a character and knows how to use her.

Something is Killing the Children #39

Jul 24, 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed how this installment enriched the Something is Killing the Children series. It stayed true to Erica's character while making her journey relatable to readers. The portrayal of Erica's emotions was perfectly suited to the storyline, and the therapist's role added depth to her character, revealing even more dimensions. Overall, this issue felt grounded and authentic, which I found particularly compelling.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2024) #3

Jul 31, 2024

Something I really enjoyed was seeing Gwen in such a vulnerable space and having her see her dad come to her to comfort her. While it's been known that she misses her life back on her former universe, it was heart wrenching to see how much she truly missed her dad. It was beautifully handled by Stephanie Phillips. With each installment, the writing shows just how talented a writer Phillips is. There's so many complex factors in this run, and they're all handled gracefully and with ease.

Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider (2024) #4

Aug 28, 2024

As a Stephanie Phillips fan, I think she does a fantastic job with Gwen and her multiversal problems in the Spider-Gwen: The Ghost-Spider run. The fourth installment felt like it was more for continuity rather than storyline events. I like seeing how the other Spiders are handling Gwen and the problems that have been brought with her arrival in 616. I think it all ties in very well together for the overall story. Another thing I like it seeing Gwen having to deal with the classic Spider-Man villains. All in all, Phillips has me hooked on this run and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Spider-Society (2024) #1

Aug 14, 2024

The plot was exciting with a surprise attack from the Sinister Squadron, along with Madame Web's powers not working, and not even mentioning the surprise twists in the comic. Something I really enjoyed seeing all of the personalities come out from the members of the Spider-Society through their own dialogue. I think it would be really difficult to write a comic about so many different characters who are so connected, but Alex Segura really did well with it. Personally, I would have liked more explanation on a couple things, but I'm sure that'll happen in due time.

Ultimates (2024) #2

Jul 10, 2024

I loved that the continuation of The Ultimates #2 continued the excitement of the first installment, even more so in my honest opinion. Deniz Camp really excelled at showing the many emotions that go into this story. Whether it be the cockiness of Midas or the grief of Captain America, it was nailed perfectly.

Venom War: Carnage (2024) #1

Aug 21, 2024

I enjoyed the plot of this comic a lot. It's interesting to see Carnage in a vulnerable state but to do everything in his power to find what he needs. I'm really interested to see where this goes. Although, I liked the writing of Venom War: Carnage #1, I did really want to see how Carnage ties into the Venom War. Time will tell on that.

Venom War: Spider-Man (2024) #1

Aug 14, 2024

Personally, I loved everything about this comic. It felt like an old school Spider-Man story, along with new modernized aspects such as a certain new hero assisting Peter and Venom. I really loved the dialogue between Venom and Peter, showing how truly different they are and why Peter is right in not wanting to bond with Venom. The Venom War event has been excitement after excitement and this comic was no different. I look forward to seeing what's next!

Venom War: Spider-Man (2024) #2

Sep 4, 2024

All in all, I think this was a lot of fun. Any time Venom and Spidey get together, it's usually a good time, but this felt different with a different dynamic between the two. Spider-Man with his never-ending positivity and Venom in his vulnerable state of mind makes for a very different kind of bond. Venom War: Spider-Man #2 is a great continuation of its predecessor, and I can't wait to see what's next.

Venom: Separation Anxiety (2024) #3

Jul 24, 2024

I really like how many twists and turns are in this run. Venom: Separation Anxiety #3 does a great job with continuation of the overall story while adding new factors into the mix. There's so much going on throughout the comic, but it flows very nicely and doesn't feel forced in the least. David Michelinie does an excellent job at keeping you hooked to every panel, while sitting on the edge of your seat.

Wolverine: Blood Hunt (2024) #4

Jul 24, 2024

Tom Waltz knocked it out of the park, yet again. This ending installment of Wolverine: Blood Hunt was a perfect conclusion. The action played loudly throughout the entire run, but especially in Wolverine: Blood #4. I really loved the different plot twists throughout the comic. I wouldn't have been able to guess most of what took place would actually happen. Above all, I really appreciate how this comic kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

X-Force (2024) #1

Jul 31, 2024

So far, X-Force #1 has me hooked with how compelling the comic was. It gave just enough to keep you wanting more. I enjoyed the dialogues between each character, especially Deadpool with the X-Force members. I feel Geoffrey Thorne has a firm grasp on the characters to their core and it shows very well in this first installment. The writing was very well balanced with action, dialogue, and even some humor throughout the comic. I can't wait to see X-Force #2!

X-Force (2024) #2

Aug 28, 2024

Admittedly, I didn't find X-Force #2 quite as strong as its predecessor, but it was still really entertaining. The character's are written with great chemistry which shows throughout the comic. So far, I'm really enjoying this X-Force team together as I feel they work really well together. Sage was a fun focal point of the comic, as it's a magic versus technology plot. All in all, I think this was a good continuation of the X-Force series, which makes me excited to see what's next.

X-Men (2024) #2

Aug 14, 2024

As I said, the dynamic written between the characters is top notch. I really like how the characters are written to work with each other. The chemistry shows loudly, which really showcases Jed MacKay's talent as a writer. There's some humorous banter between the characters, which felt really casual and done with ease. The X-Men played off each other so well, that it really felt like they've been a team longer than two issues.

X-Men: Blood Hunt (2024): Laura Kinney the Wolverine #1

Jul 17, 2024

As I always say, Stephanie Phillips never misses. X-Men: Blood Hunt- Laura Kinney The Wolverine #1 is such a wild ride of mutant goodness. I love seeing Laura and Scout working together but also at odds with each other. The dialogue was written in a way that you can see their both frustrated with each other, but still will do what needs to be done for the other. My one and only complaint is that I want more of it right this second!
