1. Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #3 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Tom Taylor / Art: Juann Cabal / Colors: Nolan Woodard
Great book. Perfect mix of humor, suspense and action. The art is aces too. Looking forward to the next issue.

2. Avengers: No Road Home #2 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Al Ewing, Jim Zub & Mark Waid / Art: Paco Medina & Juan Vlasco / Colors: Jesus Aburtov
This was a really good read (I’m a sucker for narration). Great art. Big shocks at the end. Better than the main Avengers title by a mile. (Hold that thought…)

3. Miles Morales: Spider-Man #3 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Saladin Ahmed / Art: Javier Garron / Colors: Jay David Ramos
This was a fun, old timey feeling adventure. The art continues to dazzle. I love this book.

4. Black Order #4 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Derek Landy / Art: Philip Tan & Marc Deering / Colors: David Curiel
Lots of story and action packed into this book. Nice art captures it all. Good little bits too, including a Black Swan backstory and a traitor revealed.

5. Avengers #15 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Jason Aaron / Art: David Marquez / Colors: Erick Arciniega
Surprisingly enjoyable book. Nice mix of the two storylines. Good action and really nice art. Big improvement.

6. Hulkverines #1 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Greg Pak / Art: Ario Anindito / Colors: Morry Hollowell with Andrew Crossley
I’ll admit, I bought this book for it’s cover, but I was pleasantly surprised. Nice art, fun story, plus the Leader! What’s not to love?
