Daredevil #5. This issue is arguably the best so far in the run, which is saying a good deal. The injection of Peter Parker as the conscience to the arc is simply just excellent plot development. Not reading the title, just order the graphic novel now, you will likely wait a very long while for a Daredevil story this good.

High Level #4. This is a good example of changing a setting in a book and having it serve a purpose. The characters are separated, placed in a corrupt environment and resolve it by using the societies’ reason for independence to resolve it. Depravity at its worst corrected by its own mode

This group was pretty under whelming. The first three are titles that simply seem done to do them. The War of the Realms books are all standard and progress the story. The Uncanny X-men tie in is a good blend of the X-men into the story without complicating them.  Mirage is a Valkyrie is a solid part of the story and the conflict to help her is pretty cool.

Cemetery Beach is simply just another good issue in a fun ride.

Not a lot to talk about in the list. My two choices are just solid books that continue the theme and stories with good writing techniques. We added the all ages Catwoman OGN Under The Moon which was good but had a few weak points.
