Transformers #7

Transformers #7

The Autobots and Decepticons stick to themselves in Transformers #7. The Autobots lick their wounds, struggling to keep repairing their brethren from Cyberton, and dealing with the fallout of recent events. Arcee attempts to console Carly whose hatred of Starscream and the Decepticons has only grown since Cliffjumper was unable to kill him, and we also get a story about the Autobot who taught her to be such a fearsome soldier (whose remains are found on Cybertron). And Optimus Prime has his first side-effect of Sparkplug‘s sacrifice.

Amazing Spider-Man #47

Amazing Spider-Man #47

Interrupted on an unexpected date, even more unexpected in that it was going so well (before running out and stiffing Shay with the bill, that is), Spider-Man crashes into action to help Betty Brandt who has gotten in more than a little trouble searching for something that can clear Ned Leeds. After taking care of the thugs, Spidey has more trouble on his hands with the arrival of an erratic Ben Reilly, now apparently calling himself Chasm (complete with questionable costume), along with Hallows’ Eve and the Queen Goblin.

Darth Vader #45

Darth Vader #45

Having decided to join the Imperial Schism, a faction in favor of replacing Emperor Palpatine for the good of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader finds himself on Tython looking raid a former Jedi Temple of precious Kyberite. The issue has two main pieces that make it an interesting read, and for those who haven’t been following this Schism storyline (like me) there’s still plenty to enjoy. First we get the loyal Enric Pryde and his discussions with others in the party who lack his steadfast loyalty to the Dark Lord of Sith with their own, less glorious, examples of Vader’s actions.

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.
