Fairy Tail: First page of the MangaPanda chapter confirms that Fairy Tail Mavis is the official pre-sequel (GDI Borderlands) to the main series while Grey's story is a spinoff.

Bleach: SpoilerThe Soul King is okay, he ate the Yomi Yomi Fruit so he'll be back in a chapter or two. Kind of good to see Kubo keeping Orihime as useless as ever.

One Piece: SpoilerRest in Peace in Pieces Mick Jagger.

Spider-Verse is over, but so far Kaine is missing and the author avatar is barely scratched. I really hate Silk. Spider-Woman is moving on from Avengers, and getting a new costume. On one hand it's not the body paint, which is a step in the right direction. On the other it's basically Wonder Woman's old new costume, which no one at all liked.

Black Vortex - They 90s eXtremed Rocket Racoon and Fear Itselfed X-23.

Walking Dead - SpoilerSo ... she's into necrophilia?

Thor - SpoilerI've narrowed my suspicions to either Jane Foster, New Environmentalist Girlfriend Introduced Last Volume Who's Name I've Since Forgotten Since She's Also Fallen Off The Face Of Midgard, or One Of Three Future Granddaughters (or all three in a fusion). Listed in order of likelihood.

Toriko: Ball grabbing leads to monkey spanking.

Based on the foreshadowing at the end of the chapter it's probably going to be Ukitake.

This is the reason why I pretend that Bleach ended when they imprisoned Aizen.

Bleach: SpoilerUkitake summons Shuma Gorath as an assist. Sakura-Man is calling out to Sasuke Sousuke to have him go help Naruichigo to stop Madarach.
One Piece: Coming Soon - The "People's" Elbow

Bleach: Spoilerwell, whatever. Not surprised in the least.

Just because.

Teh "prequel".

No kidding.

Bleach: SpoilerI know I've said this multiple times already, but I am really ready for this ******** to be over with so I can move on. Sigh.

Western Comics:

Marvel:

Avengers World: Roberto's initial takeover didn't go as planned. Or maybe it did? Either way knowing the result of the time jump makes it so the tension is every bit as tense as when Alfred got stabbed during Gotham last week.

Avengers: All those Alien races the 616 joined to combat the Builders & then Thanos are now teaming up to take Earth out & save Universe 616. Both sides are joining up with the Guardians to stop the threat while Reed & Black Panther take Valaria's idea of "learn how not to lose" to the extreme.

Question: Is Cyclops' phoenix egg plan being covered more thoroughly in the X-Men books?

Rocket Raccoon: Gritty days of future past type story. Still fun though. Skottie Young no longer doing the art, but still writing it. New artist fits the story well.

Guardian's Team Up: I would read just about anything written by Bendis with art by Adams, so the fact that it's a Team Up book (which usually blow) is just a bonus.

Image has a lot of strong books going right now, so if you're not reading any of these & are looking for something good I'd recommend it.

Rat Queens: Elder god squid beings with the ability to give you sex dreams attack the Rat Queens, before they take the fight to the big bad. Also, new artist starts this issue as the artist that created the book was removed after a domestic violence charge. Can't really draw a girl power book while you're wife beating trial goes on. I really liked the old art more so than the new (as it fit the tone of the book better), but the new art is good too (just different, but a little less "fun") & the writing is still clever.

Black Science: This is probably the 2nd most original book I'm currently reading (behind the next title I talk about). If you aren't reading it, its like sliders Crossed with a gritty Lost in Space reboot. Don't get attached to any one character. If you are, after a jump to a new world things get more complicated (women, right?) after SpoilerGrant's return.

Saga:
The plots of all 3 groups moves on!

Manga:

Dragonball: Return of Frieza
Akira Toriyama is doing a 3 part manga version of the new movie coming out this year. This is the best Dragonball related thing to happen since they put out a decent new Dragonball video game a couple weeks ago. Frieza gets resurected by Pilaf & vows to train to get stronger. Apparently, the Frieza we new was such a strong prodigy he never really trained, so we're to assume that by him training for 4 months he'll get as strong as SS3 Goku.

Thankfully, Toriyama has ignored GT entirely so unless you count Gotenks & Veggito (or whatever Goku transformed into in the last movie), I think SS3 Goku is as strong as the Dragonball crew gets.

Bleach:
I feel like I've been waiting for it to get good again since the fight with Uliquera (sp?) ended.

Fairy Tale:
While it's still fun, I feel like it's gonna be years before they get the guild back together at the rate they're going.
