#2: Transformers #24
“Transformer” #24 marks the end of the Golden Age
Transformers #24 is the end of an incredible golden age for this property, and hopefully the beginning of a new silver age under Kirkman. The book has long been proven since it defeated the odds and proved that there is no one left to prove to us, especially as one of the greatest victories of a licensed comic book history. There was always more than just eye-opening.

#1: Supergirl #5
“Super Girl” #5 is a super cute super pet adventure
Overall, Supergirl #5 is the perfect standalone issue for both DC fans and animal lovers. It has a brilliant attitude in using the Silver Age ratio trop when it comes to the mayhem-causing Cryptonian animals. It also gave space to heartfelt moments like crypto and candy, enjoying food together, and feeling of tinitano and stripes was achieved after saving orphan kitten. Kara and Lesla are not prominent in this issue, but their absence works in the favor of the super pets. Because they allow them to be completely wild and unleashed, making them one of the best stories in Superman Line comics.
