This week is a little more catch up but also a few I have avoided. The best of them is Daredevil #25, the continuing story of Elektra and Matt Murdock as it roles in and out of love and reality. Matt is in prison, Daredevil is not. The lead in to Daredevil Woman Without Fear was worth the 22 pages.

Not All Robots #4 actually made me concerned about the future in the comic. Robots going obsolete and dealing with being replaced hits a little too close to home. This added to the human uprising and the scary nature of the new version of robots. The parallel to our current political environment of rallies and name calling (both sides) made this a little uncomfortable, good but uncomfortable.

Beta Ray Bill #5 was a let down. I enjoyed the first few but they fell right back to Asgardian wins against Asgardian devil. I hate that. The five issues were not wasted, I just hoped for an original conclusion and a little less orange color as the page count dwindled.

Sorry for the late publishing on this one. I forgot to push the button.

I decided to wrap up a few older titles I read to just catch up the piles. Spider Woman and Captain Marvel both are favorites of mine and rather than pick two or three issues, I will cover these and one new one.

Spider-Women wraps up the “Mother” story that began with this runs issue #1. Long term readers will get why this took so long but new readers should pass on this one. Family history is never easy and the 70’s base story is just too much to invest in.  That being said, I appreciated the mental state of the issues. Fear combined with long term family problems and anger at a close friend all bubble together. Jess will never be the same after this, but that might be a good thing.

Captain Marvel is a time travel arc. We all know how I love the title but time travel, again? The Marvel characters do show the endearment held for Carol Danvers and what her absence does to the timeline, but we knew this already. Knew “children” of heroes, some X-Men and I just want to scream about Kang for a year.

Minor Threats is a Patten Oswalt creation which I did find interest in. A criminal reform book, you should give this a chance if you want something out of the norm. Forgive the minor transition issues and focus on the larger point, a villain trying to get out.
