Adventure Time Pride Special: PB & Marcy’s Infinite Mixtape #1 is a cheeky and cute story that’s the perfect kickoff to Pride Month. It’s a good standalone issue for people who are fans of the characters but might not have finished the show.

‘Baby Garfield’ #2 continues to show us the chaos he causes in a cute story for all ages.

Baby Garfield #3 gives us funny and relatable moments that keep a similar feel to the classic strip comics in modern situations.

Henderson is a triple threat who sets up this mini series for an exciting finale.

Marvel Rivals: Duel of Kings #1 is a fun issue that takes a break from the usual structure of Marvel Rivals Comics and adds to the lore between Namor and Black Panther. Allor’s writing provides fun breaks that focus on Jeff to break the tension between characters. Stunning art by Espin, Morales and Cunniffe brings you into the world of Marvel Rivals and into Wakanda.

Disney Villains: Ursula #1 is a great setup issue but struggles to stand on its own and leaves much to be desired. Bagnoli’s artwork is the silver lining to an otherwise lackluster story.

‘X-Men United’ #3 feels like short setup story rather than a standalone issue.
