Very solid book. A little silly, but I also think that's what makes it work.

End of Life #1
Professional hitman Eddie Stallion has messed up. He’s accidentally robbed the Raven, a high-ranking boss of the international cabal of assassins the Menagerie, of which Eddie is a member…or he was. Now with a price on his head, Eddie chooses to hide in the one place everyone knows he’d never go…the small midwestern town of Pluto, home of his estra...
The whole issue was fun until the end. Not that it ended horribly, it just abruptly ended. Sad to see this series end. It was a lot of mindless fun.

Gunpowder Prophets #5
It's showdown at the blood moon. The Argentos have found their daughter, and she has found her power. Can Huck and Marley survive a three-way battle that threatens to break reality itself? They're sure gonna try.
Started off really strong and then got into a little bit with the other cult that's been watching. I haven't really been given us to care about them as much yet.

Minor Arcana #14
The penultimate issue of the poignant third arc!
Overwhelmed with life in Limberlost and all that surrounds her, Theresa turns inward to look for answers. Despite good intentions, her desire to help others has placed her in the center of chaos.
Can she hold all of the pieces of herself together, or will she fall apart unde...
There's a decent amount of threads in this story. Sometimes I'm a little lost. The book has a good balance of chaos, weirdness and humor to make up for it though.

American Caper #4
Once upon a time William and Marnie were happy, healthy, progressive newlyweds in Chicago. Now they’re angry parents in Wyoming. She’s DM flirting with the Order of 1780 Militia while she and gambling addict William load up on junk food. Meanwhile, Orson’s boss lays out plans for dealing with the FBI, as Freddie Abel, recently escaped from prison, ...
This was one of the better issues. Sometimes the issues feel by the numbers. This one felt like it had a little more purpose.

Exquisite Corpses #10
A desperate mother is caught in the middle of a rivalry between two of the greatest assassins in the world. A paramedic will stop at nothing to try to save the people of her small town. And a burnout puts his life on the line against one of the most terrifying killers in the game to protect two innocent kids.

This arc hasn't been as cool to me. It's kind of a little bland.

Captain America #7
A CAPTAIN'S CRUSADE! Red Hulk's fear of a second Doctor Doom rising from the ashes of Latveria spurs him into taking drastic action, just as Captain America discovers there are those within the war-torn country who see a path to a brighter future. Can Captain America bring their dream within reach, or are there too many forces stacked against him?
It's ok. There was some cool pages, but it's mainly Pete just rushing into a fight with Ben.

Amazing Spider-Man #22
TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! The era of space/earth Spider-Men comes to an end and everyone is left to pick up the pieces. We are about to enter DEATH SPIRAL so Spidey better take a deep, deep breath.
It's a pretty cool series. Good dynamic between Frank and Matt. Pretty solid art.

Daredevil / Punisher: The Devil's Trigger #4
THE DEVIL'S WORK IS NEVER DONE! Surrounded on all sides by criminals and killers, DAREDEVIL is in over his head, as he's the only thing standing between THE PUNISHER and four deadly crime families!
This might be one of the worst comics I've ever read in quite a bit. It was extremely boring and the dialogue/ exposition was horrendous.

Deadly Hands Of K'Un-Lun #1
THE SEVEN HEAVENLY CITIES ARE FALLING! As demonic forces march their conquering army across the SEVEN HEAVENLY CITIES the only one who can stand in their way and restore order is IRON FIST! However, as more cities fall and the demonic forces swell, he'll need to rely on some unlikely allies to face the incoming onslaught. But will the combined forc...

This might be slightly generous, but I loved this issue. The art was great, the Lemire run type story. I enjoyed it.

Marc Spector: Moon Knight #1
MOON KNIGHT: MISSING! Marc Spector has been many things - an Avenger, a Fist of Khonshu, a Karnak Cowboy and now... KIDNAPPED?! But by whom? And why?! Don't they have any idea they've trapped MOON KNIGHT?!

Didn't provide a great punch for a number 1, but I am intrigued by what this story might turn in to.

The Thing on the Doorstep #1
MINISERIES PREMIERE
Daniel Upton and Edward Derby have been best friends almost their entire lives, right up to the point Daniel shoots Edward dead in the Arkham Sanitorium-a crime Daniel swears he didn't commit, despite all the evidence. What happened on that fateful day in Arkham? What is the truth behind this seemingly mindless act of viol...
This might be my favorite one so far. This had a cool story, even if somewhat predictable.

Terrorbytes #5
An off-world laboratory, built to conduct the most dangerous experiments possible, mysteriously returns to Earth, creating panic.
I really enjoyed this issue. Not a ton happened, but it at least felt meaningful.

W0rldtr33 #18
The W0RLDTR33 gang are some of the most wanted individuals in America-which means Amanda absolutely, under no circumstances, can contact her own children. But Gabriel planned for that. Gabriel planned for everything. And Detective Silk is starting to catch onto that pattern.
I've never read a comic where so little actually happens, but it's so interesting at the same time.

END OF STORY ARC
THE NORTHERNER: DEAD AMERICA, PART 2
The mysterious Northerner can't explain how he's been torn from the Civil War and dropped into the wasteland after the Unknown War-and the last man willing to guide him is Tariq Geiger, the Glowing Man. But as enemies close in, and old ghosts resurface, the Northerner's arrival may b...
The scenes are brutal. Id give it a higher grade if the revenger she was getting felt more sweet. This is the second issue in a row where the person she got revenge on didn't really care.

Devil on My Shoulder #3
She was tortured and abused for forty days by five boys. Two of those boys are now dead at her hand and the next is lined up to get their retribution. But how can Tee get into his fortress home? Or past his monstrous bodyguard? And where is the Fifth Boy? We learn more about the dangerous past of Father Guerrero as Tee's bloody revenge continues. ...
This issue was just another usual for Venom recently. Pretty corny and not very exciting.

Venom #254
WAR IN THE STREETS! Mary Jane Watson is piloting the Venom Symbiote, five hundred pounds of wisecracking alien goo monster. Whitney Frost is piloting the Madame Masque Battlesuit, two tons of A.I.M.-constructed, missile-loaded murder machine. How many beloved New York landmarks will perish in the wake of their fury? Let's count! One... two...
I felt like we were on such a roll with the last few issues that when this one started, I wasn't feeling the ghost cat thing. By time the issue ended, it had me hooked and ready for the next.

Feral #20
Lucky the Tomcat is now king to the Pet City cannibals and no one can touch him thanks to his killer attack dog, Moosh.The indoor cats only have one choice: ESCAPE PET CITY OR DIE! Elsie has a plan but will anyone go with her after everything she's done?Nothing will be the same after this issue. Don't miss out!
A solid issue. I just feel like it didn't have the punch the earlier issues had. Still a fun, entertaining book.
