Captain Marvel #16 // Review
Things don’t look too good for Captain Marvel. Vox Supreme has her hooked up to a machine designed to harness her powers and the powers of the “Avengers” she’s brought him. But even when you think she’s down, Captain Marvel isn’t out.
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #13 // Review
Ms. Marvel #13 kicks off a brand new story arc, and it starts strong as writer Saladin Ahmed introduces a new character (co-created with Sara Alfageeh). So Kamala's circle of superhero friends expands.

This month’s SFSX feels a lot like a post-mortem on the first six issues of the series.
Sonata #9 // Review
Hine and Haberlin still have yet to bring the series’ full potential.

It IS an entertaining sprint to the climax of the fifth issue.
Wonder Woman #752 // Review
Orlando allows Wonder Woman’s unique personality to save this particular treatment of a familiar adventure fantasy theme.

Castellucci does a pretty good job of making it feel fresh in an issue that has Batgirl confronting her own insecurities while facing a dragon.
Star #2 // Review
In Star #2 writer Kelly Thompson continues to explore themes of trauma and power given to people unable to handle it.
