Valkyrie: Jane Foster #3: To Realm Unseen
Valkyrie: Jane Foster #3
Valkyrie: Jane Foster #3, written by Jason Aaron and Al Ewing, does little to push the plot from the first two issues forward. However, with the stunning art and colors by CAFU, Perez, Tormey, Poggi, Irving, and Aburtov combining with the closing, at least for now, of Heimdall’s story, it makes for a good standalone issue.

Gwenpool Strikes Back #2: Sex Sells?
Gwenpool Strikes Back #2
There’s something about Gwenpool Strike Back # 2 (Williams, Baldeon, Aburtov) has tone that reminds me of the memes and trashposting that is rampant on social media, straddling the line between humor/trolling and a kind of satirical commentary of culture. Or I could be thinking too hard and this is merely meant to be a “fun” comic that is not for me.
