Minotaur #1
Five years ago, a government supercomputer triggered the Singularity: an explosion of technological superintelligence heralding an unimaginable tomorrow. At least, it almost did. Within moments, a failsafe activated. The plug was pulled. The future was aborted. But something leaked in those first picoseconds, through wire and wave. And now? The fut...
What a banger of a first issue! Combines so many things that I love about comics: weirdness, an attitude of self criticism, beautiful art, ugly people, multimedia shenanigans, and a commentary on the past, present, and future.

It’s a great issue in a great series.
Assorted Crisis Events #9
Are you poor, desperate, huddled, massive? Do you live in a dark age, a depression, one of the many historical periods of slim pickings and no options? Welcome to the TEMPS, the first crosstemporal employment app! The past and future are filled with low skill, low wage gigs! Gigs such as: Cobbler’s assistant in plague-era Europe! Salvager in the ru...
Probably the best ongoing marvel comic.
Would be rated higher if art was better. It’s very house style.
Captain America #13
CAPTAIN AMERICA: HELL'S ANGEL! VICTOR VON DOOM has captured the soul of Captain America, dragging him to an unfamiliar battlefield to use him as an unwilling weapon. As Steve Rogers struggles to survive in a world he doesn't understand, the world he left behind needs him more than ever. And ARMAGEDDON draws ever closer...
This was a bit of a yawn fest.
Absolute Flash #17
The Flash and the Rogues work to liberate Colorado from Grodd’s control, but can they save Grodd as well as the town?
Best candidate for "Most Underrated Comic On the Racks"? This thing deserves much more attention!
The Hab #2
The walls of THE HAB are closing in the next bloody chapter of Eisner-nominated writer Joshua Dysart (UNKNOWN SOLDIER) and Eisner Award-winning artists David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS) and Bill Sienkiewicz’s (NEW MUTANTS) groundbreaking horror tour-de-force. NOWHERE TO RUN. Trapped inside their would be refuge and cut off from a dying world, Tuttle Bar...
The art look a little rushed this issue.
Still very good storytelling.
Bleeding Hearts #6
It’s the 11th Annual Outbreak! For months, hordes all over the world have been preparing to celebrate the unholy origin of our species with a week of Bone-Tower building, ritual Live One hunts, live food, undead music, and so much more! You are what you are—be proud of that and of death’s victory over life!
In life we as mortal people get to read and write. Pretty pictures with nice words that take us to our childhood for a little while. Bleeding Hearts is non of this for it tells of a monster that is better than the humans they kill.
The art and pacing are a privilege to read and this arc has left this old reader feeling a sense of wonder, that we can still produce such wonderful horror. This

Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #1
Before he was Clayface, Basil Karlo was one of the hottest stars in Hollywood. As he breaks out of Arkham once again, he’s ready to stage his comeback, but there’s just one problem: Someone already beat him to it, and Basil Karlo is already a massive star. But if that’s true, what’s next for the real Basil? And what does his predicament have to do ...
The Mortal Thor #12
SECRETS AND LIES! Sigurd Jarlson has love, friendship and a human soul. The man called Blake has none of these...but he has the one thing his enemy doesn't. Donald Blake knows exactly who and what he is...and he's ready to tell Sigurd everything. Somewhere in the city, a man with a hammer is learning the truth...
what can I say this is the best marvel title in decades the golden standard right now.

The Mortal Thor #11
HORNS OF THE MINOTAUR! Dario Agger doesn't remember the Gods of Asgard. He doesn't remember what it is about Sigurd Jarlson that... irritates him. But when Dario Agger is irritated - with a man or a god - he has a very simple solution. Murder. Somewhere in the city, a man with a hammer has nowhere to go but down...
I’m really enjoying this story.
But this is a seriously decompressed issue.
Some of the art looks fantastic. Some of it looks rushed.
Two pages spend on a mediocre double page spread that added nothing to the story.
The Fury of Firestorm #4
Lorraine has tracked down Dr. Martin Stein, but what she learns in the processcould mean the end of Firestorm and Ronnie Raymond!
Obviously jack grimm was her dad.
Absolute Batman #22
As the Robins nest in Gotham’s backyard, and Batman faces ultimate defeat, Harley Quinn’s origin is revealed. How does Harley connect with Ark M, and how did the Robins fledge from hatchlings to birds of prey? The call of more than one predator will be answered in this issue.
I want to love this but it has serious pacing problems.
Daredevil #4
MATT MURDOCK is being pursued by the new and dangerous OMEN. A violent offender with a trail of corpses in his wake, he means for Matt Murdock to be next, with only DAREDEVIL between the two!
Give these guys doom patrol next.
Or the flash.
Deadman #2
Our eschatological escapades continue in this definitive depiction of DC’s Deadest Do-Gooder! An unknown species of demon has eaten the heaven-bound soul of a highway cyclist…compromising the sanctity of Earth’s Spiritual Math…and threatening the fragile glue that holds everything together! At the behest of goddess Rama Kushna, Boston Brand—a.k.a. ...
This is how you stick a landing.
Hopefully we get a deluxe hardcover of these 12 issues.
And a sequel!
Absolute Martian Manhunter #12
It all comes together here: green and white, life and death, husbands and wives, fathers and sons, free will and fate, crime and punishment. Beginnings and endings. Why do people do the things they do? Read this issue to find out.
Good lord. What a book. I love this series. What an ending that does just an outstanding job encapsulating not just so many themes from this book, but the thesis of the Absolute Universe as a whole. Camp & Rodríguez completely stick the landing here with one of the book's best issues, if not its very best. There isn't really more I can say other than that, if you haven't read this series, you need more

The closest to Moore and Veitch we've had in DC for many years.

I didn’t know who Jose Luis Soares was but damn can he draw a comic.
Punisher #6
"THE LONG BULLET" Starts Here! AN ALL-NEW ENEMY FINDS FRANK CASTLE! Powered by rage and a mechanical prosthesis keeping him alive, who or what is COLLATERAL DAMAGE?! And what do they want from the Punisher...other than HIS LAST BREATH?!
