Iron Man #150 – Loved this one. A really fun, high‑stakes battle between Doctor Doom and Iron Man set in the Camelot era.

Spoiler

And yes—this is the first appearance of Morgana Le Fey in the Marvel Universe, making the issue even more of a classic.

Spectacular Spider-Man #200 – Another great blast from the past. Tons of energy, great action, and a really satisfying fight sequence throughout. Just a joy to revisit.

Absolute Batman Ark‑M #1 (One‑Shot) – The Absolute Batman world continues its dive into horror with the origin of Arkham Asylum, and it absolutely delivers.

Absolute Superman #15 – Excellent start to the new arc. My only concern is the world drifting too close to the main DC universe—I hope it keeps its unique identity. Still, I love where things are headed next issue.

Batman #5 – Really enjoyed this one, especially that ending. Hilarious. This series might be leveling up.

Batman / Green Arrow / The Question: Arcadia #2 – Another strong issue. This trio works so well together, and the art continues to shine.

—————————————————————————————

DC K.O.: Knightfight #3 (of 4) – A strong issue, and you can tell they're saving the real punch for the finale. That last page is absolutely going to hit Jimmy right in the feels.

DC K.O. #4 (of 5) – I'm conflicted on this one. The back half fires me up for what's coming, but the opening—

Spoiler

the first meeting between our heroes and their Absolute counterparts—

[close]

lands with less weight than it should. It feels like a moment that deserved more drama. I'm still debating whether this is a must‑read for Perry, though it's guaranteed to piss him off either way.

Redcoat #15–16 – I've missed this series, and these two issues set the stage for what might be its strongest arc yet. Simon actually finding some happiness is a nice change... if only his past didn't have such sharp teeth.

Marjorie Finnigan, Temporal Criminal #6–8 – Not one of Ennis' stronger outings, but still a wild ride. I think I've finally outgrown his more juvenile tendencies, and this run convinced me I'll probably steer clear of his work going forward.

Sisterhood: A Hyde Street Story #1–4 – A Hyde Street tale of sorority hijinks gone horribly wrong, told in classic Geoff Johns fashion. Not exactly what I expected between the two best friends, but the added drama works. A decent read overall.

The First #12 – I really like this book. A small but interesting crossover with Crux, plus more insight into Wyture, which feels important for the whole CrossGen line.

Sojourn #3 – I'm really enjoying these characters, and a dungeon escape always helps. Even Greg Land's art looks good here—shocking, I know.

Sigil Vol. 3 – "The Lizard God!" (Collects #15–20) – A fun arc. Sam hops between other Sigil‑bearer worlds, including a quick stop on Meridian. Most of the story takes place in a Conan‑like realm with a bearer similar to himself. Loved this one.

Planet She-Hulk #1 – Huge thumbs up. Stephanie Phillips absolutely nails this one; it's the exact opposite experience from some of the other recent launches. Big energy, big fun.

Death of the Silver Surfer #5 (of 5) – And here we go again with the trend of swapping out iconic characters for replacements nobody's invested in... including me. This ending didn't land. Thumbs down.

Legion of Super-Heroes #21 – Emerald Empress was a blast here. I'm genuinely excited to see what her new Fatal Five lineup could look like.

Legion of Super-Heroes #22 – The mystery around Sensorgirl was more compelling than the actual villain fights, but that's fine—the real story is clearly the larger plot brewing behind the scenes, and I'm definitely in for where it's heading.
