Comic Reviews
KILLER INFLUENCES #1 (IDW CRIME)

FANTASTIC FOUR #13 (MARVEL COMICS)
No one has ever said the smartest member of the Fantastic Four is Johnny Storm.
Recent decisions (including that mustache) are prime examples why his plans need to be vetted. His latest idea is one heck of a doozie.
The City Beneath her Feet #3 (Dstlry)
The story Tynion is telling isn't really about action or mystery. It's about making a connection with someone you probably never thought you would connect with and figuring out what to do when that love can't be expressed because it would ruin the other person's life. To me, that's real love, and it's what makes this story hit as hard as it does.
The Mortal Thor #12 (Marvel Comics)
Hello there! Padawan J here, the resident Star Wars expert from the ODPH! This week I'm going to be reviewing the 12th issue of The Mortal Thor from Marvel Comics!

THE DEADMAN #2 (DC COMICS)
All souls don’t exactly go to Heaven.
When an unknown demon devours an innocent soul, this offsets the balance of Earth’s spiritual math. Boston Brand becomes involved in finding out why before everything ends.
JSA #21 (DC COMICS)
No one is safe from this wrath of vengeance!
The Spectre has been without a host since Darkseid attacked the JLU in the beginning of DC K.O. In Jim Corrigan’s absence, a void has been created with nothing sustaining. Heroes have stepped up to offer themselves as sacrifice but one might have given the Spectre the fuel for more chaos.
Star Wars: Rogue One - Saw Gerrera #1 (Marvel Comics)

THE PUNISHER #6 (MARVEL COMICS)
After the Punisher has taken care of Jigsaw, you would think he would get a bit of a reprieve. But unfortunately for Frank a new threat has reared its head in NYC. All the Boroughs are his shooting gallery and he’s working with bullets that defy logic and physics. Is Frank Castle finally going to be out gunned?
RADIANT BLACK #43 (IMAGE COMICS/MASSIVE-VERSE)

BATMAN /GREEN ARROW /THE QUESTION : ARCADIA #4 (DC COMICS)
The end of the road has come for a trio of heroes.
Batman. Green Arrow. The Question. All three have united under very different circumstances. Assassination attempts. Human trafficking. Dirty business dealings. What is supposed to be a utopia is far from that in reality.

GODZILLA #12 (IDW Publishing)
The war between Biolantress and Godzilla comes to an end, and who will be left standing? However, the impact of the actual battle is far less damaging than the psychological damage that Jacen goes through in this one. Plus, finally we get a direct tie in and crossover with another Kai-Sei title!
ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #20 (DC COMICS)
