#15> THE JOCKER – Part One
Alfred reveals to Bruce the story of the man he’s been chasing for years. Enter: Joker! Scott Snyder and Jock reunite for an epic tale in the Absolute Universe!
(S) Scott Snyder (A) Jock
Smurfs Take> Wild end to the last story arc and no one came out the same on that one. Now we get the character and story every fan has been looking forward to and has been building since issue #1. Just who is the Jocker?

#27> MEGATRON STRIKES BACK!
The Decepticons make their move to rescue one of their most powerful members from the Autobots.
(S) Robert Kirkman (A) Mike Spicer
Smurfs Take> Some very interesting twists in the last few issues leading to some new characters and the return of fan favorites. Thankfully they haven’t gone crazy with Megatron yet, but all that could change with this issue. I love that every character has their own personality and are not just background or filler to fall in line and just move the story along. Title of the year? Maybe?

-Man #23> You think we're going to tell you what happens in the penultimate issue of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN? That would be spoilers galore! Just know it's building to a finale you won't want to miss!
(S) Jonathan Hickman (A) Marco Checchetto, David Messina
Smurfs Take> Sooo much fun and every issue has left me hungry for more. Hickman has exceeded all expectations with this series and now we get to the boiling point, and there is absolutely no one safe. I’m taking bets on who makes it out at the end and it’s not Peter that’s for sure.

#2> RULE ALL MONSTERS! The INFERNAL HULK's conquest of Earth has begun! Hulk turns his eye to ATLANTIS, where an ancient evil has slept for eons awaiting the call of the Mother of Horrors… but will NGATHIIL THE ENDLESS be content to serve Hulk, rather than rule Earth in his mother's place? Meanwhile, Earth's Mightiest Heroes frantically scour the Earth for the only one who MIGHT hold the key to victory! Where - if he's even still alive - is Bruce Banner?
(S) Phillip Kennedy Johnson (A) Nic Klein
Smurfs Take> I liked the first issue but, in some ways, almost felt like a repeat or rehash. It’s a different direction; that’s for sure and I really want to see this explode into something great but not sure just how slow a burn it’s going to be. It has me hooked right now because I desperately want to see where it goes and kind of digging the new Hulk.

#1> In a world consumed by shadows...one man becomes The Darkness. Jackie Estacado is back! Thrust into a supernatural war between the dark and the light in a no-holds-barred adventure where the edge of our reality grinds against supernatural forces grappling for control over each other and the waking world.
Mafia Hitman Jackie Estacado was both blessed and cursed on his 21st birthday when he became the bearer of The Darkness, an elemental force that allows those who wield it access to an otherworldly dimension and control over the demons who dwell there. Forces in the world rise up to face Jackie and the evil his gift represents. There is one small problem in this story…evil is good.
From co-creator Marc Silvestri (The Darkness, Cyber Force, Batman and the Joker: The Deadly Duo) with the universe-shattering first issue art by Ed Benes (Birds of Prey, Superman, Justice League of America), followed in issue #2 with ongoing series artist Raymond Gay (Gunsligner Spawn, Bloodletter, TMNT, Medieval Spawn), comes an explosive new era of The Darkness!
(S) Marc Silvestri (A) Ed Benes, John Livsay, Matt Banning
Smurfs Take> I love Darkness back in the day and excited to see it return back to the shelf. I’m not sure what’s instore for us and how well this will translate but excited none the less. The interiors look amazing even if Marc isn’t doing them, but he is writing the story so I’m sure it’s going to have that warm feel as before.

They’re not just at Freddy’s anymore.

In 2023, Blumhouse’s box-office horror phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the blockbuster game series by Scott Cawthon, became the highest-grossing horror film of the year. Now, a shocking new chapter of animatronic terror begins.

One year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town’s first ever Fazfest.

Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends.

But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades.

The cast of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 includes returning co-stars Theodus Crane as Jeremiah and the legendary Matthew Lillard as William Afton. The film features new characters played by Freddy Carter (Shadow and Bone, Pennyworth), Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park, Seinfeld), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters franchise, Annabelle Comes Home) and horror icon S***t Ulrich (Scream, Riverdale).

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Emma Tammi and is written by game series creator Scott Cawthon.

The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum and Scott Cawthon, who together produced the first film. The executive producers are director Emma Tammi, Beatriz Sequeira, Christopher Warner, Russell Binder and Marc Mostman.

The first Freddy’s film opened to a record-shattering $80 million in October 2023 and went on to earn almost $300 million worldwide.

Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Freddy Carter, Theodus Crane, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, with S***t Ulrich and Matthew Lillard

#15> WHO WILL SURVIVE THE DREADNOK WAR?

Duke and Cobra Commander are confronted by an enemy they never expected.

But the Dreadnoks aren’t far behind...

The twice-monthly G.I. Joe epic continues RIGHT HERE.
(S) Joshua Williamson (A) Tom Reilly, Jordie Bellaire
Smurfs Take> The appearance of a fan favorite character that never appeared in the classic cartoon series. Surprised and ecstatic in the choice along with how well thought out this story and series has been to date. It’s really giving me the feels of the early days of the Marvel Joes run but with better character choices. Excited to see where the war takes us and expecting to see this end with the “Capture of the Cobra Commander”.

#4> DROP THE SMOKE – Part One
As Bruce Wayne investigates the Crown of Storms, Batman pursues Anarky and discovers a criminal conspiracy hiding in plain sight that will change the game for crime and criminals in Gotham City…and the world!
(S) Matt Fraction (A) Jorge Jimenez
Smurfs Take> This has been a great read for me so far. Everything I loved about Batman back in the day and a massive step forward to where we are. Now that we have a working foundation it’s time to get with the story! Matt has set a wonderful stage with some not so common characters that should lead to an interesting story. I can easily see this becoming a must have run.

#1> STEPHEN STRANGE, STRANDED! After becoming Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, Strange lost his chance at redemption - and revenge against Doom - when Loki murdered Thor, cutting Midgard off from the other nine realms. With no way home and few allies remaining in Asgard, Strange travels to Alfheim to investigate an emerging crisis. But in an unfamiliar land, can Strange prevent elves and angels from going to war over a mysterious coffin? Maybe with some help from Heven's own ANGELA! Derek Landy and Ivan Fiorelli join forces for a bold, new era of Doctor Strange that will take him on a true JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY…
(S) Derek Landy (A) Ivan Fiorelli
Smurfs Take> Of all of the characters I expected to end up in Asgard (Hulk mainly) Doctor Strange was the last one. That being said I love this idea and about time we get a little more time with Angela. Strange suffers from the same issues that Iron Man does, great start or solid idea that falls apart or doesn’t go anywhere. I loved the series that focused on the cost of magic and the prisoner Strange had locked away in the basement. A little more action might be called for and this could very well deliver, a very wild DND champagne awaits us.

#3> HAUNTED! Gwen Stacy takes the investigation of her father's death into her own hands-and sets out to unmask Spider-Man! Meanwhile, Spider-Man Noir's got another new rogue on his hands-meet PLASMA-MAN!
(S) Erik Larsen (A) Marika Cresta
Smurfs Take> I might have said this last month but….Larsen’s love for Spider-Man shines in this series and is unlike any of the other Spider stories out there. It’s making me all the more excited for the Netflix series coming with Nick Cage even more. Solid story, solid character, even better world.

#9> PART NINE
Somewhere in Coast City, Jo Mullein is babysitting a comatose Hal Jordan…at her ex-wife’s place. Awkward doesn’t cover it. Meanwhile, Agents Simon Baz and Kari Limbo are getting closer to the mysteries of Evergreen–and so is Hector Hammond and his top assassin…the man called Nemesis!
(S) Al Ewing (A) Jahony Lindsay
Smurfs Take> Take the war of light and just amp it up to 10K! Taking the GL lore and just twisting it beyond anything the fans have ever experienced is masterful and crazy all at once. There is a lot going on in this story, I mean a lot and at some points in the story a little overwhelming as it draws from a lot of different things and characters that we have seen over the years. Absolutely worth the read for existing fans and anyone who has ever been interested in the character.
