1. Amazing Spider-Man #17 (Marvel) ★★★★★
Writer: Nick Spencer / Art: Humberto Ramos / Colors: Edgar Delgado
Ramos’ art is always a joy. The fight scenes here are epic. Spencer provides a nice mix of narration & dialog, along with twists that I did not see coming. I’m in.

2. Avengers: No Road Home #5 (Marvel) ★★★★
Writer: Jim Zub, Mark Waid & Al Ewing / Art: Sean Izaakse / Colors: Marcio Menyz & Erick Arciniega
This is a really good book. I love Wanda’s narration and the reveal at the end. The art is aces.

3. The Long Con #7 (ONI Press) ★★
Writer: Dylan Meconis & Ben Coleman / Art: EA Denich / Colors: Fred C. Stresing
Back to adventure in this big battle isssue. The last third got a bit confusing, but the end promises more fun to come.

4. Uncanny X-Men: Winter’s End #1 (Marvel) ★★
Writer: Sina Grace / Art: Nathan Stockman / Colors: Federico Blee
Surprisingly solid wrap up to the Iceman solo story. The outing outrage seemed a bit late in the game, but I get it. Unfortunately, Stockman’s art continues to hurt the book.
