Captain Marvel #20
With both a foundation of Carol’s origins in Kree lore and plenty of spectacular action, Captain Marvel #20 (Thompson, Smith, Di Benedetto, Bonvillain, Cowles) certainly stands out as one of the better tie-in issues we’ve seen so far from the series.

Maestro #1: My Own Worst Enemy (EARLY Spoiler-Free Review!)
Maestro #1 (David, Peralta, Keown) is no mere nostalgia trip. It’s a dark, masterful look into the psyche of Marvel’s most powerful force, and the world that ultimately forces him to become the worst, most vile version of himself. This is a stunner of a comic with a huge legacy to fulfill, and it more than does so as the entire creative team rises to the challenge – and then some.

Harley Quinn #75
While it’s always sad to see a comic like this come to an end, Harley Quinn #75 (Humphries, Basri, Rossmo, Hi-Fi, Sharpe and many more!) sends the ongoing series out with a bang. It’s full of wacky humor, tons of cameos and even an introspective look at the ever evolving identity of Harley Quinn. Though we say goodbye to the series here, the future is as bright as ever for Harley Quinn!
