 Magik #7    Being a long-time fan of Illyana, I've been picking this up. After a slow start, it's been gaining momentum.  4/5 

 

Lazarus Fallen #1 It's been awhile since I read Lazarus,so it took a re-reading to get myself back in Forever Carlyle's world. Glad to be back.  3.5/5

 

Immortal Thor #25  The "death" of Thor. Getting ready for a reboot. Still, a good read.  4/5

 Blood & Thunder #2 3.5/5  Pretty entertaining,art is just OK.Still reminds me a bit of Moore's Top Ten mixed with Judge Dredd & Barbaric. 

 Assorted Crisis Events #4 4/5  A unique look at How Time Flies literally, all caused by a "crisis event" ala DC, although  it could be any comic book company's Big Event. 

 Battle Beast #2  5/5  Picked up #1 because of FOMO, and I'm glad I did. This book is a blast! I'm not really into Invincible or other Kirkman titles, but this one has me hooked!

Death of the Silver Surfer #1  3/5  Bought this because I like Greg Pak's writing. An intriguing start. If you have the power over death...?

 Be Not Afraid #1 4/5 I'm a sucker for exorcist-style horror, and this did not disappoint.

 Imperial #1 3.5/5  Was going to pass on this, mostly because of cover price (6.99) but then I figured what the Hickman, so...

Pop Kills #3 4/5

Well, the Adam Hughes cover got this series some pop-fizz! (sorry) An off-beat concept, but works well. 

The Thing #1 4/5 Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. A good take on an old favorite.

                                                      

 

Hyde Street #6 5/5  A great issue that brings together our creepy cast. Twilight Zone-type fun!

 Blood and Thunder #1  4.5/5  Bought this because I saw Robert Kirkman had his name on it.  Reminded me of a cross between Top 10 and Barbaric. Good models.

 We're Taking Everyone Down With Us  #2  4/5  The jury's still out on this one,but an interesting read/concept so far.

Resurrection Man #1 5/5  Taking an obscure hero from the past and turning it into a treatise on life, death, and the universe makes this more than a super-hero book.

Daredevil:Cold Day In Hell #1  5/5  Another book I picked on a recommendation. Reminiscent of Dark Knight Returns, but different enough.

  The Mummy #1  2/5  Didn't care for this, maybe it will get better. Artwork was poor, and story only slightly better. Loved the other Universal Monsters,but this one...nah.

 Jumpscare #1  3.5/5  Interesting concept.  Girl can call upon any horror-movie weapon that she's seen to fight monsters.  Good enough to come back to.

 We're taking Everyone Down With Us #1  4/5  Wasn't interested in this, then read a preview...A young girl discovers a side to her dad she didn't know. Is he a good guy or a bad one? Perspective?

 Absolute Martian Manhunter #1  4.5/5  Another book I was going to pass on,but FOMO and good reviews got me thinking otherwise. Another Absolute re-working of a classic hereo,and it's better by far than the old edition.

 Absolute Wonder Woman #6 5/5  The best of the Absolute line, although the one above is pushing it.    This issue keeps up the excellence.
