King in Black #3 continues to pay off three years’ worth of buildup from the Venom series, and features an epic battle between gods.

Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon #1 is a solid beginning to a new Iron Fist story, featuring his trademark mysticism and martial arts.

Maestro: War and Pax #1 sees Peter David start a new adventure with an old character. Maestro plans to wipe out any opposition.

The Union #2 takes the time to delve into its characters and how they work as a team, though it sacrifices the tie-in elements of its story.

Amazing Spider-Man #57 feels a little overpacked with plot points, though it contains a highly emotional confrontation and great art.

Immortal Hulk #42 is a packed issue, as we check-in Gamma flight, news reporter Jackie McGee, and we go down to the ‘below’ to visit the Leader and Bruce.

S.W.O.R.D. #2 sees the space-based organization begin responding to the attack on Earth by Knull. But Director Brand has more up her sleeve than expected.

In Star Wars: Darth Vader #9, the Dark Lord of the Sith must fight off Ochi of Bestoon and assassin droids if he is to uncover his master’s secret plot.

Gwenom vs Carnage #1 sees Gwen trapped on earth with one of the few symbiotes not susceptible to Knull’s influence. This makes her a target.

The Chris Claremont Anniversary Special is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest comic book writers on the planet and his work.
