Comics from the last month or so:
221-222 Absolute Carnage 3-4
223. Agents of Atlas 1
224. Agents of Wakanda 1----- I really like this group of characters. I like that Jim Zub likes to play around with the more obscure Marvel characters.
225. Amazing Spiderman 30
226. Alpha Flight: True North 1------ Great character work. It's the first time in years that most of these characters have actually had personalities rather than the ciphers they've been reduced to over the years.
227. Avengers 24
228. Avengers: Loki Unleashed---- So nice to read a Roger Stern Avengers book again
229. Black Knight 1---- Pulled this out of the collection re-read. I love Dane Whitman but was dissapointed in this series so dropped it right away. Black Knight in WeirdWorld is a fun idea, but I really miss Dane as a scientist. I think that aspect of his character has been ignored for far too long.
228-233. Daredevil 6-11---- Daredevil has yet to fight a single "super villain" so far in this run, but the storyline has been gripping and intense. I don't necessarily agree with all the moves Zdarsky has made with Matt, but I trust wear he's going with this. Can't wait to read more.
234. Damnation 3
235. Doomsday Clock 11
236.-239. Flash 74-77
240.Flash Forward 1
241. Future Foundation 2---- This is the last issue for me. This is not a good book at all.
242.-243- Guardians of the Galaxy 9-10---- This arc is not as strong as the first one. Still looking forward to seeing how Cates wraps up this run.
244-245. History of the Marvel Universe 2-3
246. House of x 5
247. Immortal Hulk 24
248. Invaders 10-- Serpent Crown! Roxxon! Classic Marvel Universe greatness.
249-250. Mister Miracle 11-12---- Heard about the ending and just kept putting these off. I finally got around to reading them and while I was really hoping this story was going someplace else, I can live with this ending.
251. Punisher 15
252. Sonata 2
253-256. Thor 14-16/ King Thor 1---- Aaron's run will go down as one of the greatest next to Simonson's and Lee/Kirby's
257. Valkyrie 1-2

barely touched comics in the last month so might as well do a summary
[B]Empowered[/B] 10
lasted the first volume and an issue or two in the second one then realized I started skipping whole panels and dialogues cause I didn't really care about what's happening.
[B]Nailbiter[/B] 5
"look at me, I'm so cool and mysterious! Isn't true crime the hot new thing right now?"
I don't want to be mean but that's just the impression I got. Also the art does nothing for the world building (lack of backgrounds) and it just felt mediocre. Dropped it after 5 issues.
[B]Batman Dark victory[/B] 14
I remember liking this much more before but I think I'm done with Sale's art, doesn't impress me any more and I don't know Loeb knew what the hell will happen at the end while he was writing. It was a chore to finish it.
[B]Baltimore[/B] 41
Mignola making stuff up as he goes along, surviving purely on the fact that he is Mignola. Felt very half assed, like a hobby project but it's still entertaining enough to finish it. The ending was a huge let down though.
[B]Moon knight by Lemire[/B] 11
Didn't care for it, had a feeling of "been there done that". Can't even remember what happened in the issue when I decided to stop reading.
The art was very good though.
[B]Doctor Strange by Donnie Cates[/B] 12
Somehow Cates managed to write a 12 issue run that heavily relies on Aaron's previous run and half of it is just an event tie in (and I haven't read that event, no idea what's it about) and it's still an absolute blast.
Funny, energetic, creative and Bats, Strange's new talking dog sidekick is the best, grumpiest boy ever. Loved it.
[B]Venom by Donny Cates[/B] 12
So much hype and such a let down.
It's not horrible but it's lacking the energy and humor of Cates' previous books. Also Eddie Brock as Venom as one of the least interesting characters to me on every level. It's a good enough read but I was not impressed.
[B]Immortal Hulk[/B] 15
Creative but it feels like this could be so much better out of continuity, just going all out on the madness. Also feels like a Swamp thing rip off a bit. Kinda got tired of the whole thing by issue 14 so not sure if I'll continue.
That's 106 issues
Total: 836
Best of the batch: Dr. Strange by Cates, especially issue 2.
