Nonetheless, the art does work for the story North is constructing and emphasizes the more lighthearted nature of the issue. Fantastic Four #1 is a fun issue that delivers an exciting new adventure starring the heroes that created the Marvel Universe. With Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four releasing at the end of July, the company's First Family is ready to take over the limelight.

Nicieza also knows his Godzilla history, incorporating connections to multiple films from various periods. A new type of Sentinel is revealed in this issue, and it is a robotic combination of three different Godzilla villains from his history. Tsugunai Robotics is even directly connected with Godzilla Raids Again, the second film in the character's history. Whilst the narrative of Godzilla vs. X-Men #1 doesn't fully jell with the mutant pathos, the comic is still incredibly pleasurable to read front and back, featuring some of the most amusing action scenes yet in the Godzilla vs. Marvel comics line.

Like all great legends, Aaron doesn't give the comic a true ending, but not in an unsatisfactory manner. The writer gifts Thor and Godzilla a new myth that will go forth forever, with neither ever backing down in life or death. If there's one downside to this comic, it's that some of Aaron's dialogue can be flat. Thor's characterization is mostly described through the omnipotent narration rather than through his words, which works out for the comic, but doesn't give Thor much personality. It's also possible that Aaron made Godzilla too overpowering, yet Godzilla's power made Thor feel like an underdog, making the final clash between the two titans that much more satisfying. Aaron and Kuder present a modern-day epic with two of the most recognizable legendary figures in current human society. Godzilla vs. Thor is the template for transforming superheroes and Kaiju into modern-day myths, stories that we will pass down for generations.

Godzilla vs Spider-Man isn't a highlight of this line of Godzilla Marvel comics, with the 80s throwback being more of a hindrance than anything. The issue is still filled with plenty of fun webhead action that makes the story fun, but superficial.

Humphries' and Lima's New Avengers #1 is a competent yet imperfect first issue. The darker characters don't fully mesh with the over-the-top story Humphries is constructing, but the action and coloring are great. It's too early to tell if the series will reach the same heights as Bendis' definitive run on the title. Nonetheless, the new comic may still have time to shine when more of the roster make their grand appearance. Maybe when the full team is formed, we can finally see what kind of chemistry they will have, potentially enhancing the story.

MarvelMarvelThe violence in Predator vs. Spider-Man may go overboard for some people, with several readers potentially finding it too edgy or try-hard. Nevertheless, the excessive violence gives these Predator vs. miniseries its identity. Readers should know what they're getting into by the time of the third miniseries. There's a particular standout moment where Skinner rips off the skin of a man's face with his bare hands. If that seems too much, it's probably best to skip this mini. Yet this may be the perfect mini, if that is more up your style.

He brings in plenty of sci-fi action, with Noto supplying some of his most beautiful work yet. Noto has had a storied career with Star Wars, providing multiple fan art and covers for a franchise that clearly means so much to him. Noto's early pages are thrilling, featuring Luke and Rynn's space battle against a surprise attack. Everything about Segura's and Noto's Star Wars #1 is fulfilling and satisfying, but it didn't reach the heights of previous comics published by Marvel. The era between Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and Episode VII: The Force Awakens is still mostly unexplored by the Star Wars extended media, so it's interesting to see what direction Segura will take the characters.

Overall, Hellfire Vigil is a great comic and worth reading. The issue may have multiple different writers and artists, with some sections working better than others, but it reads coherently. Vigil is a beautiful snapshot of a recent era of X-Men comics while offering some interesting teases for the future.
