Thumbs up for the delightfully daffy M3GAN 2.0. I don't know if the turn from horror to straight-up sci-fi action will be what audiences want, but I had a ball with it. Hit or miss, I love that they took a big swing and tried to make a summer blockbuster out of M3GAN.

If people participated in every election rather than waiting to be "excited," and if they voted in their best interests rather than against them, we wouldn't be in a situation where people crave radical change. I'm so exhausted with people letting things turn to shit and then being angry about it.

Really dug the first three episodes of #Ironheart! Cool to see Dominique Thorne flesh out Riri past WAKANDA FOREVER. The whole cast is terrific, but I especially loved Lyric Ross and Alden Ehrenreich, whose role totally caught me by surprise. This is solid street level Marvel all the way.

In true Flash fashion, Jeff Lemire starts to speed things up with this issue. Several major supporting characters are introduced, and we're not done with the rogue reveals yet, either. This is quickly becoming a favorite for me in the Absolute line.

The first issue was solid but also was, unavoidably, burdened with a lot of setup. Here, we really get to see the kind of fun Slott is going to have playing in the DC sandbox. Terrific issue with so many cool bits and an intriguing new wrinkle to Superman's powers.

It's crazy that this book lost the artist that defined it and was arguably the key component in building its initial fan base, but that it's arguably only gotten better since. I didn't think that was possible, but the way Dev Pramanik stepped up in the wake of Alessandro Cappuccino's exit is wild.

An interesting issue as Deniz Camp shows how Tony is thinking outside the box when it comes to getting an Ultimates group together that can feasibly stand up to the Maker. I had to put my real world cynicism aside to enjoy it as the politics of this issue are naive to the point of being insipid.

This is a rock solid Avengers run that kind of flies under the radar. Jed MacKay has been doing right by Earth's Mightiest Heroes from the start, and this current Masters of Evil arc has been a high point. Thumbs up to guest artist Andrea Broccardo, who makes this action heavy issue look terrific.

All of these Godzilla one shots have been surprisingly good. Until this one. Sadly, this is the first dud of the bunch. Oddly enough, this is about on the level I expected these to be at from the start, but they ended up being insanely kick ass. This one is fine, at best. It's definitely a letdown.

This run continues to master the art of being consistently ok. I'm still picking it up, so I can't complain about it too much. But that said, the way this book never hits the gas is something. Its best aspect is how Saladin Ahmed writes Logan. His interior voice for him is always on point.

I went into this with a preemptive sense of disappointment due to the fact that this conclusion to a major arc had a fill-in artist. Turns out, I shouldn't have worried. Emilio Laiso does a spectacular job filling in for Stegman and Diaz. On the scripting end, Jed MacKay crushes it as usual.

Being kind of exhausted with multiverse stuff, I fully intended to pass on this. But I ended up giving it a shot anyway, and to my surprise, I've been loving it. A fun, fast-paced script by Kyle Higgins and Mat Groom coupled with sleek, gorgeous art from Luciano Vecchio. Thumbs up!

Apparently, no one told Johnathan Hickman and Esad Ribic that a corporate crossover didn't demand their A game, so they went ahead and brought it anyway. Holy crap, full credit to these guys for going so hard with this across all four issues. This is going to endure nicely as a trade collection.

I'm starting to hope we might get all three in a movie together. I mean, if Frank can show up, why not DD? Whatever happens, I'm at least stoked for Punisher and Spidey to be a guarantee.

It's been years since I've watched its predecessors, so I can't accurately rank where 28 YEARS LATER falls in the series, but I don't need a refresher on DAYS or WEEKS to recognize this as an absolutely top tier zombie film in its own right. Some real emotional depth to this amid the zombie action.

Cool! Between ASM kicking ass, the animated series mini coming in the fall, and now this, there's a wave of awesome Spidey stuff happening. And that's on top of the fact that Miles' book, Venom, and Carnage are all currently killing it. Good times!

Ok, I feel very safe in saying that Joe Kelly's ASM era is solid. I wasn't concerned that going from Larraz to JRJR would be anything other than smooth, but this week's issue confirms it. Great start to the 2nd arc, with Kelly keeping the romantic and professional subplots bubbling along nicely.

Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra are a dream team on this book. If you've ever been a Turtles fan, this book'll give you what you're looking for. It's just wall to wall fun, featuring sharp characterizations and brimming with action. Ferreyra's pages are just jaw dropping.

On paper, the Absolute universe take on Bane shouldn't work. I mean, it's objectively ridiculous, essentially just "Hey, what if Bane was bigger? Like, stupidly huge!" But my God, they pull it off. A lot of what's in AB sounds like a parody of itself, but Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta make it work.

Holy crap, this sounds freaking cool. Kelly came to play with his ASM run. I love to see it. aiptcomics.com/2025/06/17/a...

I made the mistake of giving this series a shot this week. I say "mistake" only because I knew I'd probably like this and would then be drawn into adding yet another title to my already overstuffed pull list. Well, that's exactly how it went! This is a really good book. Will keep reading.

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by how much I like this. It was such a genius move to put Eddie and Carnage together. Carnage on his own has never been that interesting to me. He's too evil to add up to much as a character. But to have him and Eddie in a constant war of wills, now that's cool.

This book continues to be a jewel in the current X line. There's a unique warmness to this book and even ramping up things up to have the team face their first major X baddie didn't knock its vibes off at all. Every move that Ewing and Carnero make feels organic.

Ryan North and R.B. Silva keep on crushing it with this event. It's strong on every level. My only slight complaint isn't with the series itself but with the fact that for an event that is so huge, its wide line impact seems so minimal. When this was announced, I imagined a Dark Reign situation.

This was a very cool surprise. While I didn't expect it to be bad at all, I also didn't expect it to kick as much ass as it did. Writer Sam Humphries and artist Ton Lima really came out swinging hard with this. By issue's end, the full team hasn't been assembled yet, so we're just getting started.

I'll be honest, I don't quite get these GSXM one shots. As with the first one, this also has an unsatisfying main story that's redeemed by its gorgeous art (from Rod Reis) and a back up story (from Steve Foxe and Lucas Werneck) that ends up saving the whole thing from being a waste of time.
