- Writer: Chip Zdarsky
- Artist: Rafael De Latorre
Continuing the tie-in to the larger Devil’s Reign arc, Elektra finds herself pitted against Kraven the Hunter. Hoping to use old secrets against her, Kraven is shocked to discover Elektra has revealed all to Daredevil. Although it never really ends, the actual fight takes less than half the issue with various flashbacks to Elektra’s past, revealing a painful truth to Matt Murdock, and Kraven finding a new type of leverage to force a rematch.
The next issue should offer more of the pair going at it while Elektra’s old mentor enjoys the show. And now Elektra has the Thunderbolts to worry about as well. The longer tale, should she survive, we see teased as the possibility of Elektra and Daredevil teaming up to take out out the Hand. To get there, however, first she must survive Kraven and Devil’s Reign.

Hawkeye – Ronin
- Title: Hawkeye – Ronin

“Ronin” is notable for people telling Kate (Hailee Steinfeld) to stay away from Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner). This includes her mother (Vera Farmiga), Clint himself, and Yelena (Florence Pugh) who shows up in Kate’s apartment for a little chat about her new best friend. Starting here, and continuing through the series finale, the scenes between Kate and Yelena prove to be some of the best of the series (although we don’t get nearly as much interaction between Yelena and Clint as I expected).

Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy #1
- Title: Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy #1 (of 5)
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Ethan Sacks
- Artist: Will Sliney
The times are different, but the setting remains the same. Star Wars: Halcyon Legacy #1 introduces us to the luxury cruise ship Halcyon which has a habit of inviting trouble over the years.
In the present, pirates under the command of Crimson Jack arrive looking for a Resistance spy aboard the ship to sell to the First Order. In one flashback we are teased with a battle between Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress. And, in the flashback that takes up the bulk of the issue, we get Jedi Knight Nib Assek and her Padawan Burryaga Agaburry fighting to save the ship from the Nihil.
Earning the cover, the comic is really of interest for the inclusion of a Wookiee Jedi who gets to show off some piloting skills keeping the Nihil at bay until help can arrive.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to a mystery involving the Three Investigators whose mantra of “We Investigate Everything” leads them on a search for a priceless gem known as the “Fiery Eye.” When his great-uncle dies leaving him clues to fortune, the Three Investigators take Gus’ case which involves solving a series of riddles which may eventually lead to the discovery of the cursed gem that many others as searching for as well.
Part of the hunt takes a page from the Sherlock Homes story “The Adventure of the Six Napoleons,” when Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw, and Bob Andrews believe, in one of the story’s many red herrings, that the Fiery Eye might have been hidden in one of the busts which made its way to the Jones Salvage Yard. However, things turn out to be much more complicated as clues will need to be deciphered before the case comes to a satisfactory conclusion.
