I like what they are doing with Jigsaw and how he's screwing with Tombstone. I am now wondering what Frank's ailment really is since the doctor said there was nothing wrong with his brain. Was he lying? Guess we will find out.

Punisher #2
JIGSAW IS BACK! Frank Castle's most notorious foe, JIGSAW, is back - and this time, he's not launching all-out assaults or wars in the street! Instead, he's taking a more surgical approach to dismantling THE PUNISHER, targeting his body, mind and soul with a game of death designed to spill innocent blood and to push Frank Castle to his absolute lim...

Punisher (2026)
CRIME'S WORST NIGHTMARE IS BACK IN AN ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES! As unflinching and uncompromising as ever, Frank Castle's memory is damaged and he's hunting for answers and criminals alike! He'll get more than he bargained for of both when the notorious and bloodthirsty JIGSAW returns…with THE PUNISHER dead in his sights!
I did like this different take on Superboy Prime. It's also a different take on breaking the fourth wall with him reading comics as if they are real. He gets a job at a comic shop. Ghost of Manchester Black? What? Let's see what going on there.

Superman #36
After the shocking events of DC K.O., Superman is missing. But one hero steps up to take his place…Superboy Prime?! Normally, Prime has only been part of massive DC events, but now he gets a real shot at showing the world he can be just as great a hero as Superman! Superstar artist Dan Mora returns to Superman for an action-packed and fun adventure...
This continues the battle between Diana and Zatanna. It is also revealed that the flaming skeleton is Zatara. I'm still campaigning for a new artist n this book. Sherman is just not working for me.

What happens when you send a witch to kill a witch? Time to find out as the daughters of the most powerful magic users in the universe come together at last, forced into combat with devastating stakes—it’s the Witch of the Wild Isle versus Zatanna Zatara, the Mistress of Magic!
This is really not working for me. We have MODOK being a pansy, and the introduction of a new wild card. This story just seems to be meandering. After three issues, there should be a bit more of a direction, which means this is going to be a 12 to 14-issue story. I don't think I'm on board for that.

I love Jeremy, but do I really need an oversized issue filled with origin stories of characters that are decades old? No, I really don't. In essence, this was a complete waste of money. The only saving point was the art by Dan Jurgens.

The set up in the last issue for this villain was excellent. So, seeing Conan from his point of view in this issue was a great followup. I love the fact that Conan knew he was being observed the entire time. Let's see how this battle goes. It's unusual that Zub takes a story 3 issues. Looking forward tot he wrap upt. Will they end as friends wor with the assassin dead?

Conan The Barbarian #30
A deadly new foe hunts Conan the Barbarian, tracking his spirit wherever he travels – a killer with keen blade in hand and teeth from old prey struch ‘round his neck.
The cult of the Black Stone wants revenge against the Cimmerian and the Son of the Tooth is their weapon of choice.
I'm a big Greg Rucka fan. Met him several times. Nice guy. But I'm sure what's happened to his writing over the past few years. He helped in creating this character and yet there's abolutely nothing new or unique in this jumping on issue. Cain is back in the psychiatrist's office becasue we've never seen that before adn villain is once again her sister who is dead more times that not. I won't be f more

Batwoman. Daughter. Sister. Soldier. Hero. But since she was 10 years old, Kate Kane has lived in the shadow of a prophecy and the machinations of a religion devoted to the end of all things. How do you fight the devil when the devil is real? And how do you win? Acclaimed writer and co-creator of the modern Batwoman Greg Ruck returns to the story o...
I'm not a big fan of this storyline. I understand the urge to shake things up, but adding time travel to the story completely ungrounds the story. Especially with tanks dropping out of the sky. I did enjoy the scenes with Geiger and the children, but I miss the Knight being part of the family. I'm also looking forward to seeing Ashley ARden again. So, let's wrap up the Northener storyline and move more

Geiger not only doesn’t believe him, but isn’t sure he even wants to know. They trek towards Detroit, where the Department of Historical Preservation ...
I'm not a big fan of this storyline. I really don't care about the Bushmaster villain. I would have liked to see more of teamup between Zodiac and Moon Knight, but he scared him away pretty quickly. I really want to see the wrap-up of the Asgardian villain, but McKay just completely forgot that he's still on the run.

I'm not sure why this story even exists. The story ended in the first run. This does seem a little forced, and Thor is just annoying. I'm also over all of the backstabbing from Erik. Why are they even including him in their plans when they know how he is? They should have seen the other betrayal coming as well. These are the worst Vikings ever. Vicking are strategists. The action is good, and so i more

But when things don’t go according to plan, Frey must ultimately decide just what she wants in her own life, and how far she i...
This is a bridge issue. There really isn't any action, but there are some great scenes between Optimus and Duke with Clutch and Hound sitting on the sideline. I'm looking forward to seeing how Williamson continues this epic story.

G.I. Joe #20
OPTIMUS PRIME AND DUKE MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME What does this mean for future of the Energon Universe?
This is just not working for me. Magik comes off as a bratty kid. Not endearing in the least, and the entire setup of the Russian villain isn't working either. They should have kept it partially grounded and not gone completely supernatural. Ashley Allen is just not a good writer when it comes to Magik. I did like her Moonstar more than I thought. Admittedly, I enjoyed the first couple of issues o more

Magik & Colossus #2
PURGE ON ST. PETERSBURG! THE IMMORTAL and his demonic forces have corrupted the Rasputins' homeland! Racing against the clock to root out their villain, the siblings' biggest fight will be…with EACH OTHER? Will Illyana and Piotr be able to settle their differences, or will they be doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past?
This issue started badly. Jessica came off like a complete bitch against Luke. I was turned off immediately. Then, when Mary showed up, she acted like Marvel's version of Harley Quinn. I can't imagine Kingpin being married to her, though. I'll get the next issue and see if it gets better. Not sure why this is advertised as a red band.

As the wife of Mayor LUKE CAGE, she'll have to tread carefully as she forms a dangerous alliance with TYPHOID MARY to track down the killer. But as she delves deeper into Hell's Kit...
I had really high hopes for this one in the first issue - until the end. I don't like the gimmick of giving the apes the powers of the FF. Now they want to get rid of them, and the entire issue is them trying to find Taylor's ship at the bottom of the lake. The en of this issue is the saving grace with the entrance of Doom.

I was a little confused by this issue regarding the powers of the villain. I couldn't tell what was real and what wasn't, and they were able to walk into each other's hallucinations. Again, confusing. It continues to be good, I just wish there were more rules to the villain's powers.

The main story isn't very good. It's a quick and easy mystery without much meat to it. I do like the art. However, the backup story was really good. It's about an Amazon-type woman who goes for short, men with an overblown ego. Did she fall for a real Leprechaun?

This is an interesting story since Conan isn't even in the issue. It's about a boy who was shunned due to a disability and becomes an assassin. I am looking forward to seeing more about this character and I hope we see the shapeshifter again and the sorceress from the previous issues.

This was better than I thought it was going to be. I liked her Magik in the beginning, and then it got drawn out into being a disaster. I didn't know that Moonstar was a Valkyrie. At first I was wondering why Allen was using Norse mythology, but then it made sense.

DEATH AWAITS DANI MOONSTAR! When an ancient, soul-sucking weapon is set loose, it's up to Dani to track it down! But the weapon's deadly wielder won't make it easy for her. After recent tragedies, can Dani trust herself to save those closest to her? Or will her self-doubts lead to even more bloodshed?
I think this should have ended after the first arc. Instead, we get this very depressing follow up story. Pigeon figures out how save them only for his own sister to destroy everything. The question is do we really need this story? If Remenber is going to draw this out to a third arc, I'm probably going to drop it.
