Clearly you didnt read the afterwords of the first issue. He specifically said each month will be different, in the same world but also can stand alone.

This hunted event isnr bad but theres either some twist thats going to hit hard or thos event will go down as missed opportunity. There is just something missing and I can't figure out what it is.

Home to Thor's beloved humans. Home to heroes and gods alike. Now, at last, it burns. And Thor won't even be there to see it.

While not a ground breaking tale, this spidey book really focuses on the things that make him a great character. Paired with an awesome art team, you really can't go wrong.

• Spider-Man fights foes that live eighteen miles beneath Earth's surface, but he doesn't fight alone!
• If Spider-Man and his mysterious ally survive and make it back topside, they're going to need the whole neighborhood to chip in!

DDJamesB reviewed Immortal Hulk #15 Mar 26, 2019
This was a good read that really advanced the plot. The tone of this book is just so different than anything out the only downfall I have is as a new hulk reader it does rely on things of hulk past and I'm really not that in tune with hulk history. The art is excellent.
• Dr. Leonard Samson is a gamma mutate and part-time super hero who recently came back from the dead.
• He's been wanting to discuss that with an old patient of his... But he's not here to see Bruce Banner.
• Take a seat on the couch, IMMORTAL HULK. It's going to be quite a session.

NoShape reviewed Criminal #2 Feb 14, 2019
Um... Okay then? I hope this seemingly random jump to a completely different story (taking place decades later I believe) comes to something, because in and off itself it's kind of a silly cheap trick. That aside, the story itself is... pretty good. It still has that super strong narrative voice that Brubaker does so well, and Phillips are is, of course stunning, but there's something insubstantia more

I will be honest. If you are into criminal this issue is awesome. Its a prequel in a sense to a lot of the criminal books that follow the lawless family. It has great writing and art.
