Aero #4 // Review
Liefen has an excellent understanding of pacing.
Absolute Carnage #4 // Review
Absolute Carnage #4 is dumb action, and thank God for it.
X-Men # 1 // Review
It’s a Summers family reunion!
Gwenpool Strikes Back #3 // Review
If you want nothing more than fanservice this story is great—you can see your favorite heroes fight one on one in their swimsuits. But fanservice isn’t enough to carry an entire story.
The Immortal Hulk #24 // Review
A must-read. If you’re a horror fan, it’s a must-read. If you’re neither of those things, you should probably still give it a try
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #8 // Review
If the theme of Kamala's journey thus far has been growth and development, then this issue shows the often-overlooked consequences of these phenomenons. Saladin Ahmed writes about topics like corporate expansion and workers rights through the lens of a superhero/supervillain power struggle. Artists Joey Vazquez and Alex Arizmendi, colorist Ian Herring, and letterer VC's Joe Caramagna lend their talents to this very topical story.
Loki #4 // Review
The issue continues a very satisfying opening arc for the young title.
Powers Of X #6
The last remaining secret is revealed!
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #11 // Review
The writing alone makes Miles Morales: Spider-Man #11 still a worthwhile read, but the use of fill-in artists really hurts this issue.
Black Cat #5 // Review
Felicia’s emotional somersaults in and amidst the action is great fun.
Doctor Strange #20 // Review
A strange, little diversion into another place and a distant conflict serves as the end of a series.
Ghost Rider #1 // Review
Ghost Rider #1 is a compelling first issue, showing a great deal of promise.
House Of X #6
Xavier and the Quiet Council lay down the law.
Punisher Kill Krew #3 // Review
Frank Castle’s rampage of revenge draws in the unstoppable Juggernaut!
Superior Spider-Man #11 // Reivew
The endgame for Otto vs Norman is at hand. Is the die truly cast?
Fearless #3 // Review
The themed anthology format works strikingly well, especially in an era of high-priced individual comics.
Ghost-Spider #2 // Review
McGuire and company maintain a remarkably balanced work/life/superhero balance in the issue.
Avengers #24 // Review
Fun mutations of action that take full advantage of the weirdness.
Powers Of X #5
More of the building blocks of Krakoa are revealed!
