Stillwater #11 - I like the time jump. The new regime isn’t much better than the last one.  I’m expecting chaos to ensue.

Unbelievable Unteens #4 - Not a bad ending. I know Perry didn’t like this but I enjoyed it.

Deep Beyond #10 of 12 -Whoa! An unexpected plot twist!  Good issue rolling towards the end.

Primordial #3 of 6 - I liked this issue.  Like most Lemire tales, it’s a slow burn but feels worth it. More progression with the animals in space and likewise with the scientists on earth.

Clear #3 - not really enjoying this as much as I should be.  It’s not a bad story but somehow I’m jut getting interested.  Maybe I’m not as much of a fan of Snyder as everyone else?

House of Slaughter #2 - I’m not finding Jace is Aaron as interesting as Erica Slaughter but seeing the machinations of the House gives this series a bump.  Still liking this overall.

Radiant Black #10 - I think I’m done with this series.  I didn’t care for this issue and I’ve been losing interest for awhile.  I feel kind of bad because I know Rodney loves this.

That Texas Blood #12 - Good end to this satanic arc.  I’m still really enjoying this crime comic.

Time Before Time #7 - Ooooo! Nice plot twist this issue.  Damn time travel can really mess you!

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #33 - the beginning of the end for Kretch I think.  As well as his dead arm.

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #34 - if ever there was a poster boy for not doing drugs it’s this kid.  What an idiot.

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #35 - lol. How is it possible these two screw ups found each other? And are probably going to be the only ones left alive by the end of this? LOLOL.

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #36 - Really good issue.  Who knew a hippy named “Love” could be such a bad ass samurai. Gonna miss this book when it ends.

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #37 - back on the road again with Beth, Nina, and Orson. And things are going bad as usual.

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #38 - The last Amy Racecar story as we finally understand what it’s all about and how it fits into Beth’s life.  Excellent.

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #39 - Annie, Vic, Love, Chandra, and Kretch - the pieces are all starting to fall together.  The series is racing to the end and it’s getting more exciting!

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #40 - Annie, Vic, Love, Kretch, Chandra, Spanish Scott, Orson, Beth - this one has almost everyone! Everyone is closing in on Beth, the money, and the drugs. Big ending has to be coming!

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #41 - All the characters are in the same place now and the sh!t has officially hit the fan.  That big ending I was predicting? Yeah, it’s arrived!

Stray Bullets: Sunshine & Roses #42 - Ahhh.  And now we’ve come full circle.  Great second series.  This final issue came out in Aug of 2020 with a third series called Virginia planned.  Not sure if Covid is the reason it got delayed or not but I can only assume that’s why.  If and when it’s released I’ll definitely be there.

Serial #9 - (edit - added just now. I was trying to wait, still going to try and hold off for a week or so  Grin)

************************************

Iron Man #12 - Ummmm, okay... yeah. Not gonna sugar coat it, this sucked ass. I did enjoy the issue prior to this, but I could see where I was getting a little worried and with this issue, not only did all the worry come to the forefront, it went worse than I thought it would. I will certainly read the last issue of this arc that will (hopefully) be in the next issue, but... yeah...  Undecided

Eternals: Thanos Rises - A very in-depth history of Thanos' mommy and daddy  Grin Almost got a little confusing, but I slowed down, swiped back on or two times to the chart  Cheesy and was able to not only understand it all, but gobble it all up!

Nightwing #81 - This is the penultimate issue of my purchases. The next issue is where I stopped buying this title day of release and started the process of the excruciating 6 months wait. I was originally going to make this issue my last (the last one I paid for I mean  Wink) but I just had to postpone my switching to DCI and grab the issue after this one almost completely because of the way this one ended. This was probably my favorite issue so far. Not solely due to the ending, but also everything between the covers. From the little nuances of the art (like the t-shirt Barbara is wearing when Dick wakes up  Cheesy Cheesy to the names of the boats to the art change all the way to the pup being just so damn... puppy'ish) all the way to the just damn brilliant F'n writing, this is one DC book I just look for month after month. A true gem!!

Magic Order 4-6 - I had forgotten most everything about this title, including what a great damn mini-series it is. I must have never finished this the first time (maybe?) as it my way at times, because this truly hit me hard this time through. Really one of Millar's best in my eyes. I have already snagged the first issue of the next volume but I am going to try... TRY to wait for this new series to be completed before starting it. If it is half as good as this one I will have no complaints.
Of course now I want a Zatanna book this well done

I remember reading this back in the day but can’t remember what my final thoughts were.  I didn’t realize a second series was out.  Sounds like something I should get.
