Samurai Doggy #1 - In a post-apocalyptic industrial world a robot vulture saves a puppy from certain death. Yeah the first few pages alone of this book is enough to make any animal lover's heart hurt but I promise you the pain is worth it for this read. The Samurai Doggy is on a path of vengeance 20 years later. He’s going after the man who murdered his mother, stole his brothers, and left him for dead. With his ever constant mechanical companion at his side to help make it happen. Following the only lead he has through a big city gets him practically nowhere, except almost stolen from. A small kid in trouble just looking to have some fun is someone he can’t resist helping right? Wrong. But a new potential lead on his siblings has him switching his mind real quick. Besides, nothing bad has ever happened at a carnival, right?

  

Deadliest Bouquet #1 - Rose, Violet, and Poppy are three sisters who were all raised by their single florist mother. The years have caused them to drift apart but the untimely death of their mother brings them sharply back together. This issue is one that the more I kept reading this, the more interested and invested in the series I became. Things slowly begin to unravel to show that nothing is really what it seems with these ladies. They’ve lied to their families and run from their problems for years but now they can’t anymore. The sisters are going to have to face the trauma from their childhood soon. That laced with the constant innuendos and flashbacks that make it seem like both they and their mother have some type of physical, almost assassin-like training. I definitely want to see how this mystery unwraps. I’m curious to see if the bouquet of sisters already have a killer in mind or if we’re going to get to see some sneaky recon mission in the next issue.

  

Love Everlasting #1 - The vintage art style of this series is so fun, and it really helps to set the tone to match the old dialogue and way people used to live. Joan is an ordinary young woman, she’s moved to the city to start her life and find happiness and love. Only she’s hoping to find it in her best friend's boyfriend. Or one of them. But every time Joan is about to reach her happy ending things change. The world shifts and once again she’s starting at square one, looking for love and having swoon worthy moments with new men, but she slowly starts remembering her first love, and the one after that. This issue manages to keep the reader constantly guessing as to what exactly is going on, and Joan herself is aware or in control of the situation. Though she always starts off at the same point in her life she never questions it at first, only when the new lover appears do she seem to remember the last. Is this a story of reincarnation, multiversal travel? I need the next issue already so I can find out.

  

Ms. Marvel & Wolverine #1 - If you haven’t already watched the Ms. Marvel series on Disney+, go do it! This is one of those attempting to build more interest in an ongoing character series and I am 100% buying into it. The show was so much fun and made me want a new Ms. Marvel anything to come out so I can have more of her fun character in my life. It’s nice to see Marvel going back to this team-up, Wolverine was Kamala’s first partner on a mission and getting to see them work together again after she’s gotten better at the hero gig and see how she’s changed is such a unique experience for the long time Ms. Marvel fan. So it’s Ms. Marvel, Wolverine and a few X-men against some… robot locust? A whole swarm, actually, so many it’s enough to blanket the entire city if they aren’t careful. This issue does a good job of utilizing well known characters as well as some not so well and using all their powers together to problem solve, eventually, and always at the behest of Wolverine. Now I'm even more curious as to what shenanigans Ms. Marvel will get up to with Moon Knight in the next issue.
