Deadpool #1

Deadpool #1

A new volume of Deadpool begins here with murder, mayhem, and fun. I think Deadpool always works best when he has someone to play off of (other than just his banter to the reader). The new comic finds that character in Deadpool’s symbiote “daughter” Princess who has her father’s taste for bloodshed and murder. The first issue follows the pair around trying to kill their latest target, whose portal ability makes it a bit harder than normal, before teasing us with the introduction of the comic’s first new big bad who is apparently quite interested in the hero’s healing ability.

Vengeance of the Moon Knight #4

Vengeance of the Moon Knight #4

Following the same format of the other issues in this series, Vengeance of Moon Knight #4 continues the rotating members of the Midnight Mission taking a seat on Dr. Andrea Sterman‘s couch. This time it’s discussing the loss of Marc Spector and his anger to seeing someone parade themselves as a Fist of Khonshu. While working through his issues, we also get sequences of Tigra and Hunter’s Moon tracking down the new Moon Knight leading to his unmasking.

SHAZAM! #10

SHAZAM! #10

I’ll admit to being a bit confused by turn of events here. During the Captain‘s battle with Black Adam the family’s home was destroyed. The gods have rebuilt the home. Great! However, the family was planning to relocate and move out of this house so did those plans fall apart as the story only makes sense if the family is moving into the house the gods have messed with (but if so why do they have to move in?).

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #4

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #4

When people around Gotham City start turning into gargoyles (or, more accurately grotesques as Velma points out), Mystery, Inc. helps Batman and Robin investigate. Batman is able to surmise people are turning into copies of nearby gargoyles. However, since Gotham City is full of the things that discovery alone doesn’t solve the problem. However, when Oracle can’t find a single reference to any of the victims online, Batman begins to suspect the truth of what is going on.

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6 concludes the comic adaptation of the Disney+ television show giving us Obi-Wan Kenobi sacrificing himself to ensure Leia‘s escape, the Jedi’s encounter with Darth Vader on Jabiim’s moon, and the epilogue on Tatooine. The sixth issue of the six-issue mini-series doesn’t add anything new to events from the series but does offer a nice moment between Kenobi and Leia (a reimagined relationship that throws all kinds of chaos into the events of the original Star Wars) and of course the lightsaber duel between master and pupil (which stole a bit too much for my tastes from the superior episode of Star Wars Rebels).
