Well, Planet She-Hulk #1 is badass. To borrow from @wordballoon.bsky.social, the Lawyer Warrior is watching over Sakaar while Hulk is away. The book looks amazing and I am all-in with the story.

We wanted Orton vs. Aldis and we didn't get it. I'd be down to see Aldis vs. McIntyre. What will it take for WWE to let Aldis lace up his boots?

Apologies to US/ROW readers waiting for Savage Sword of Susan to go up on Topatoco. The shipment has gone missing in transit. This is not great news. Maybe pre-order The Great British-Bump Off: Kill Or Be Quilt wherever books are sold instead?

I just finished Outlaw Showdown #1 and I loved this Western themed EC book. 4 different creative teams each do 10–page stories plus the issue also reprints a classic EC story. I am always glad to see a western this good on the shelves.

Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton has so much heart poured into it. @ryannorth.ca and Mike Norton were the perfect team to spear this. Norton gives Krypto tons of personality and North floods the story with emotion. It will devestate you at times and it will have you melting with joy at others.
