#5: Is Ted OK? #4
‘Is Ted OK?’ #4 goes even bigger than ever as the story explodes in directions strange and magical
After a massive third issue, ‘Is Ted OK’ outdoes itself once more, achieving dizzying heights of sci-fi madness while grounding the story in the increasingly personal.

#4: The Ultimates #24
The Ultimates #24 ends just as the series began, with a gloriously illustrated subversion of Marvel lore and a full circle moment with some of the team’s members. While I could have easily read more of this series, it still remains one of the best entries in the new Ultimate Universe.

#3: Zatanna #2
Zatanna #2 continues to build up the suspense of seeing the Prime Magus in action. Jamal Campbell treats the reader as a member of an audience to Zatanna’s show. Campbell introduces new and interesting characters as well as enchanting artwork to match.

#2: The Sentry #3
The continued tease and terror of the Void is building, and it’s clear there will be an explosive, heart-wrenching ending for Sentry in the final issue of this four-part miniseries.

#1: Absolute Wonder Woman #20
As things come to an end, I’m very excited to see how this book evolves. I feel that Thompson and Sherman listen and learn from the criticism sent their way and want to grow and evolve with Absolute Wonder Woman, which tells me that this comic will be running long-term. Absolute Wonder Woman #20 is a fantastic conclusion to “Season of the Witch” and a brilliant setup for what’s next.
