Every now and again it is good to have given someone the benefit of the doubt. We often tell people that you should give a writer two, if not three, issues to lay the exposition to a story. Many times this does not result in a ramp up, but rather an off ramp. This week I am happy to say that having given the writer (Cliff Chiang) room to fix a story resulted in my willingness to read another issue.

  • Catwoman Lonely City #2
  • The Me You Love In The Dark #1
  • Nice House on the Lake #3
  • King of Spies #2
  • Amazing Spider-man #67 Chameleon Conspiracy part 1
  • Amazing Spider-man #68 Chameleon Conspiracy part 2

  • Amazing Spider-man Chameleon Conspiracy Giant Size
  • Ghost Cage #1
  • Break Out #1

  • Eve Volume 1
  • She Hulk #1 (2022)
  • Doctor Doom #8
