Made me chuckle every time.

I'm excited for ResurrXion. Everything I'm hearing about it is pretty encouraging. I think the realized the M-Pox story was a misstep.

I understand the idea, totally. Just makes a tragic death even sadder, IMO.

I know. We can never get too much Ben Reilly though! :-)

He's got a good handle on Kara for the most part. However, I hope she thaws a little bit and shows a bit more appreciation for how hard her foster parents are trying. That's about the only thing I didn't like about the first two issues of Supergirl. I know she's a teenager, but they too can have moments of gratitude!

Very pleasantly surprised by the new Director. I liked that he made a lot of logical points and seemed pretty reasonable. I hope they don't make him an out and out villain.

Plus, Hickman was honest throughout his whole run. There would be no hand-holding.

I need to re-read it, but Hickman is hard to top when it comes to great moments. Thor kneeling before the Builder, Thor giving Cap the drink not meant for normal men, Thor and Eden discussing heroism. There were also some fantastic moments like that in nearly every issue of Secret Wars.

Me too! I was worried that Tim's "death" wouldn't be mentioned. Instead I was pleasantly surprised to find it's a shroud that hangs over all of the character interactions.

Those were also my three standout books this week. Just tremendous stuff all around.

Yes, how does Vision get through all of this and still get to be a hero and an Avenger without undoing the whole story? His confrontation with Wanda was the highlight of the issue for me.

Trinity was fantastic! I loved the acknowledgement of New 52 Supes by both Diana and Bruce. I know they need to move forward, but from a character sense, it makes sense that it would take time to build trust.

I'm really hoping Croc puking during team missions becomes a running gag. Pretty damn funny.

Yes, I liked the beginning quite a bit. That bond between Kirk, Spock and Bones is the core of Trek to me!

Beyond was just fantastic! The last third is phenomenal!

Solid list.

Switch in IV for VI and we have almost the exact same top five!

Love Star Trek IV. Trek was always about the character interactions for me, and that one had them in spades!

Maybe the best single episode the show has ever done.

Absolutely shocked that Future Quest wasn't the featured comic this week. I thought it was a lock!
