Back Matter:

As Winter Soldier, he doesn't verbalize once in the entire issue; he's all menace with no posturing or quips.

Standout Moment: The fight with (and eventual death of) Nightcrawler in a panel evocative of Miller's Daredevil.

Back Matter:

Here's hoping that the series find its footing once it advances past the "building the team" stages.

Standout Moment: Spider-Woman double finger guns. Bzzt!

Back Matter:

The Energon Universe remains a near endless source of delight. Every book in this line consistently knocks it out of the park.

Standout Moment: A tie between the panel of Mercer's extraction and the reveal of Clutch behind enemy lines.

Back Matter:

Cantwell writes some great Superman in this book: a humble, genuine, not quite "aw, shucks" but close, Superman who clearly loves what he does.

Standout Moment: Superman's ineffectual punch and the way that the ensuing dust cloud obscures his word balloon.

Back Matter:

It's horror with heart and you feel for this family as it's assailed from all angles, including from within, because even as we see Kevin apologize to Mara, a few pages later we see her violently attack her father.

Standout Moment: Mara's expression while she doomscrolls.

Back Matter:

I rather enjoyed the clever bit of writing where Orion knows that he must do what his father has asked of him but he self-sabotages his own chances because he is struggling with the moral dilemma of it all.

Standout Moment: Orion's title card panel.
