The Visitor #2
The Visitor #2 (Levitz, Kim, Arreola) is like a season finale that has you ready to flip a table in protest that you’ll have to wait for the next installment (but in a good way.)

The Last God #4: Welcome to the Pinnacle
The Last God #4
The Last God #4 (Johnson, Federici, Gho) is a visually stunning continuation of this richly dark and complex fantasy epic, once again remaining focused on the important stories at hand without getting lost in its own intricacies.

Daredevil #17: Guilty As Sin
Daredevil #17
Daredevil #17 (Zdarsky, Fornes, Woodard) is very good and continues the excellent storyline that’s been going on for seven issues. But, I’m ready for this phase of Daredevil to be over.

Criminal #12: All Good Things Must Come to an End
Criminal #12 (Brubaker, Phillips): “Cruel Summer” comes to a stark, gut-wrenching conclusion, bringing the current volume of Criminal to a close and with it, many of the book’s over-arching subplots. A master class in sequential storytelling, it’s almost a cliche to say about this book at this point that comic’s don’t get any better than this.

In Runaways #29 (Rowell, Genolet, Cunniffe), the creative team makes this another great issue, even if fairly okay by its own standards.

Terrifics #24: Apocalypse Factory!
Terrifics #24
Terrifics #24 (Yang, Davila, Cifuentes, Protobunker, Napolitano) is a wild ride to say the least, but amid the chaos we also find one of the most shocking and epic developments surrounding the team so far, helping to end the rather bizarre arc on a true high note.
Details
Olympia #2: That Don’t Impress Me Much
Olympia #2
While Olympia #2 (Pires, Diotto, Cunniffe, Myers) is attempting to develop some sort of nostalgic charm, it falls flat under the lightest scrutiny, relying too much on a mix of homage and shock value.
