#5: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #9
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” #9 is a visual wonder and emotional intestinal punch

#3: Giant Size Dark Phoenix Saga #1
“Giant Size Dark Phoenix Saga” #1 Review: Heart
Marvel’s next stop in X-Men history brings her to one of the most famous tragedies in the hugely sized Dark Phoenix Saga #1. More than simple Retread, Lanzing, Kelly, and Reis, bring out emotionally resonating stories that are deeply involved in the original story. At its heart is the meaningful connection between the X-Men and the first woman to join one of the most recent ones, and these very different women struggle with similar internal battles. It’s still not known why Kamala was particularly enveloped in this time travel adventure, or whether Bruno was swept through the Timestream, but Khan is beginning to gain the power of mutants. However, Marvel is about to enter a world where “mutant power” completely means something. Plus, stick to the end of the matter for a gorgeous little retrospective on love between Cyclops and Phoenix.

#2:Magik #6
In “Magik” #6, Ilyana Rustina returns to Limbo to help her friends in need
Magik #6 is another illustrious example of the exemplary work Ashley Allen does with Ilyana Lastina in this book. Each problem delves deep into Ilyana’s internality and explores the character’s motivations and worries. A key element of Magik is that you can learn about Illyana through your relationship with support characters. Whether it’s Cal, Dani, Madeline Pryor, we get new aspects and aspects about Illana, who are not completely fleshed out with other writers who have characters in their books. This book is one of the most definitive runs featuring Ilyana Rustina as Magic, and it is refreshing to see how Ilyana is characterized by a capable writer who understands how Ashley Allen works.

#1: Supergirl #2
“Supergirl” #2 raises interests in shocking ways
In addition to the story itself, Campbell throws some Easter eggs for Kara fans in the form of a pre-crisis suit for the character. She eventually settles into something that 1970s Supergirl fans enjoy, but she also throws another iconic look from the 1980s. Fans are easy to identify. Overall, Supergirl continues to fly Sky High in terms of story and art.
