Fables #152

Several storylines continue in the relaunched Fables title including the corpse of my favorite Fable of all, super-spy Cinderella, rising up in the medical examiner’s office and coming back to life in the mix of creepy fun fans of the comic have come to know and love. I’m not sure exactly what role she will play in the story to come, but it’s great to have her back.

Moon Knight #12

Moon Knight‘s long battle with Zodiac comes to an abrupt end in Moon Knight #12. The anti-climactic end to the pair’s battle finds Moon Knight bringing along some of the zombie former Fists of Khonshu he brings with him while straddling a path between the living and dead hoping in vain to get to Zodiac in time before the villain adds to his body count.

Black Adam #1

Despite reading about the character for decades, I’ll admit to being a bit lost with Black Adam #1 which takes place before the death of the Justice League (which happened several weeks ago) and features Adam jumping between his super-powered state and into the body of Teth-Adam (who looks pretty damn good for how old it is). As originally conceived, Black Adam couldn’t transform back to Teth as the body would wither away and die. Apparently that’s been “fixed” with modern continuity.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures #4

The four-issue mini-series concludes with the genie forcing G.I. JOE and Cobra into battle where no one can escape until at least one side is wiped out. There’s plenty of action to close things out, but the real story comes when Destro clues in the Joes on how to stop the genie leading to Shipwreck and Polly saving the day (and only Shipwreck remembering the crazy events of the past few days).
