Death of the Silver Surfer #2 finds Norrin Radd navigating a world increasingly hostile to heroism as he continues his desperate efforts to protect Earth. While humanity’s suspicion and fear grow, Bureau of Alien Neutralization agent Kelly Koh adapts her tactics, luring the Surfer into battle by unleashing the Hulk. Meanwhile, far from Earth, corporate villain Dennis Harmon digs through Galactus’s corpse in search of power cosmic remnants. Writer Greg Pak elevates the stakes and deepens Koh’s characterization, showing her not as a one-note antagonist but a determined, complex foil to the Surfer. Artist Sumit Kumar continues to deliver with a dynamic blend of modern visuals and Jack Kirby homage that gives the series its cosmic grandeur.

This Ends Tonight #1 kicks off with a bang as Gerry Duggan unleashes a chaotic and stylish crime thriller that’s equal parts Tarantino and fever dream. Sisters Anna and Katie are thrown into a nonstop gunfight across Las Vegas when their family’s old enemies resurface, and the action rarely lets up. Duggan knows when to drop shocking bits of backstory, using exposition like a weapon, while the plot constantly shifts gears, keeping readers off-balance in the best way. Jae Lee’s artwork excels both in the frenetic shootouts and the strange, surreal interludes that hint at deeper layers to the story. This debut is a wild ride that promises two more installments just as unhinged.

Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1 officially kicks off the main event, and it’s an absolute spectacle. After a string of entertaining one-shots, the Mole Men ignite a catastrophic battle beneath New York that unleashes not only a rogue Celestial but the wrath of Godzilla himself. The Fantastic Four quickly rally Marvel’s heroes, but Godzilla is an unstoppable force, and the Mole Men’s scheme has only just begun. The creative team finds the perfect tone—serious enough to create stakes, yet self-aware enough to embrace the inherent absurdity of the concept. It’s monster-versus-superhero mayhem at its finest, and with four issues left, this one looks to be a glorious showdown for the ages.

Solo's Picks:

Godzilla Destroys the Marvel Universe #1 delivers exactly what the title promises—a bombastic showdown between the King of the Monsters and the biggest heroes in the Marvel Universe. When Mole Man awakens Godzilla using a mysterious new form of vibranium, it sparks chaos in New York as the monster unleashes fury on both the surface and underground. The Fantastic Four call in backup, but even Marvel’s mightiest struggle to slow Godzilla’s wrath. The action is relentless, and the book does a great job showing just how overpowering Godzilla is, with even the combined efforts of heroes like Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man proving futile. A standout moment comes when Quicksilver dashes through New York saving civilians, beautifully rendered in a dynamic double-page spread. This is a pure action book, and for fans of monster mayhem, it’s an absolute blast.

The World to Come #2 dives deeper into the mystery surrounding the new Wakandan king, providing much-needed context after the twist ending of issue one. Through a flashback to ten years earlier, we see Agent Ross’s decision to go on the run, pulling him into a complex web of obligation to Wakanda. The issue uses non-linear storytelling to slowly reveal the fall of T’Challa and the rise of Ketema, a non-Wakandan whose claim to the throne is already stirring controversy. While the structure may frustrate some readers, the storytelling remains compelling thanks to its worldbuilding, political intrigue, and excellent artwork. Ketema makes a strong impression in this issue, his confidence and combat prowess adding intrigue to his claim. Despite some narrative murkiness, this is a visually stunning and thought-provoking continuation.

Predator: Black, White, & Blood #1 is a brutal, stylish, and surprisingly consistent entry in Marvel’s anthology series. These themed collections often feature a mix of quality, but this one hits hard from cover to cover, making it a standout among the Black, White, & [Color] line. Each story captures a different flavor of Predator carnage, but Joe Kelly’s opener steals the show with a sharply written, morally gray lead and a killer cliffhanger. Brian Level’s work in the “Once and Future” segment deserves special mention, using stark black-and-white contrasts and textured shadows to evoke real horror. Whether you're a die-hard Predator fan or a casual reader, this collection offers slick storytelling, memorable characters, and art that elevates the carnage into something haunting and beautiful.
