Cable v5 #1
Creative Team: Fabian Nicieza (W) Scot Eaton (A)
Synopsis: THE FUTURE MUST NOT COME TO PASS!
All the signs are here: The Neocracy is coming - and with it comes not only the end of mutant-kind but all of humankind as well! As if rescuing Young Nate from the ongoing threat of Orchis weren't enough, can Cable root out this growing threat and decimate it before the Neocracy has a chance to take hold? But is he already too late to change the future?
Score: 7.0 (Fine/Very Fine--Haven't read a Cable comic in eons but this wasn't too bad. Outside of rescuing his stupid-looking younger self, I don't know much but I'll read #2 to know if I really want to keep reading it.)

Jackpot #1
Creative Team: Celeste Bronfman (W) Joey Vazquez (A)
Synopsis: ALWAYS BET ON RED! A GANG WAR TIE-IN!
Mary Jane Watson, A.K.A. JACKPOT, gets her first solo super
story since her debut in ASM #31! New York City is in chaos as
the super-powered criminal gangs are at war, and it's all hands
on deck! It's a baptism by fire, but, come on, this is Mary Jane.
What CAN'T she handle?!
Score: 8.5 (Very Fine Plus--Decent story, great art. Just a pointless one-shot filler to buy during an event where it has no
real purpose and if it does in the future it should've been told in Amazing Spider-Man instead of the BS story that was told in
#39 with Spidey & She-Hulk fighting random monsters.)

Hellblazer Dead in America #1
Creative Team: Si Spurrier (W) Aaron Campbell (A)
Synopsis: John Constantine has cheated death once again--but
his heart's not beating, his body is decaying, and he, his friend
Nat and his son Noah are on the run in America, wanted for
murder. Naturally, it's all John's fault--it always is. But as it turns
out, Dream himself needs John's help. Something terrible has
taken root in America, and it's using the sand from Dream's
pouch to impose its will. If John can put a stop to it, he might be
able to parlay that favor into a chance to save all their lives--but
he's going to need help from someone he hasn't spoken to in
years. Someone he wasn't always...all that kind to. Someone...or
some...Thing?
Score: 9.2 (Near Mint Minus--Like the story plot. I don't care for the art outside of John talking to Sandman.)

Avengers Twilight #1
Creative Team: Chip Zdarsky (W) Daniel Acuna (A)
Synopsis: In a gleaming new world of prosperity, Captain America is no more. But Steve Rogers still exists, floating through an America where freedom is an illusion, where THE AVENGERS are strangers and his friends are long dead. But is the Dream? How do you assemble Avengers in a world that doesn't want them? PLUS: A behind-the-scenes look at the making of this issue!
Score: 4.0 (Very Good--Alternate reality book for so the lack of creativity is already low and a total waste of $5.99. Just bring back the What If? series if you want to tell alternate reality stories. I'm not a fan of Acuna's art. Just buy the Skottie Young cover and take the L on a crappy story.)
Cobra Commander #1
Creative Team: Joshua Williamson (W) Andrea Milana & Annalisa Leoni (A)
Synopsis: Miniseries Premiere
The Rise of Cobra Begins HERE. In a world where the Cobra
organization hasn’t formed, one man’s sinister plans to utilize
the mysterious alien substance known as Energon send
shockwaves across the globe. Who is Cobra Commander?
Where does he come from? And what horrors is he planning
to unleash that will rock the world – and maybe the universe –
to its core? Red-hot writer JOSHUA WILLIAMSON and artist
ANDREA MILANA kicks off the second of four action-packed
miniseries that will introduce the best and worst humanity has
to offer in the Energon Universe.
Score: 9.8 (Near Mint Plus--Best comic of the week! This is
the retelling of the animated origin of Cobra Commander. Great
art for the tone especially the coloring. It's violent in a nice subtle way for censorship. The ending reveal was the best part. I ended up re-watching the intro to G.I. Joe The Movie. Best animated intro ever! A lot of great variants! Buy 'em all!)
