*X-23 vol.20
by: Marvel comics
(X-23 and Jubilee are having a night on the town when X-23 spots a pimp, the pimp that took over "Zebra Daddy"'s territory, that would be the pimp that had control over X-23 some time back. X-23 and Jubilee end up a crim stomping rampage hunting down every connection in one night and freeing a huge number of girls from the sex slave buisiness. This doesn't go un-noticed. Black Widow has been scouting X-23 while she was doing all this. Black Widow considers it a rare lapse in planning, X-23 had no where to send these "damaged girls". But Black Widow is extending an invitation for X-23 to join the Avengers Academy as a future Avenger. and if the add in the back of the book is any indication it looks like she's going to accept. X-23 will be fighting with or along side Ghost Rider, Red Hulk, and Venom in the near future)
*Godzilla Legends vol.3
by: IDW books
(I really hate that this is a one shot, because its clearly the start of another story. It also doesn't highlight Titanosaurus at all like its supposed to. We instead get a psychic kid and a psychic institution. the aliens from the third planet of the Black Hole "Simeans" plan to use the kid and their Mecha-Godzillas to take over the earth as the kid has mind linked with Titanosaurus. and it ends on a cliff hanger.)
*Artifacts vol.12
by: Top Cow
*Artifacts vol.13
by: Top Cow
(I am really glad I got both together, because they are one long of the same thing with 12 being mostly action. Basically this is Top Cow's "Final Crisis" a reset of their universe. with only minor changes. Finnegan is still dead, the Rapture is now on Tilly instead of the priest guy. Also there is a moment between pages in issue 13 where you should insert several of the last Witchblade comics as it shows that Sara has left New York to Chicago, Danny (the Angelus) is now Gleason's partner. Also when reality got re-written it looks like the Darkness, Jackie got control over what happened to a certain extent. Seeing as it apparently cost Sara killing her own daughter to revive the universe, its not clear if she remembers or has just completly blocked out the memory. Jackie's girlfiend Jenny is alive again and Hope is also alive again, Jenny now being her mother and Jackie still her father. Jackie also made it a point to hunt down the curator and kill him, brutally.)
*Witchblade vol.151
by: Top Cow
(following the last issues where she left New York and Artifacts we see Sara in Chicago, the issue starts with her in jail and the issue is basically explaining how she got there. She is now a private detective. Chicago police arn't especially happy about a New York ex-cop being a private dick on their turf. To make matters worse she is still hunting down supernatural things, which is getting her mixed into some issue with some fleshy witchblade wannabe that ages its victims. The local cops find her right after she beats down one user, they just see her dragging what looks like an old woman out of an alley.)

"Boneshaker" - is a story about about family and there just happens to be zombis as well and a mad scientist. Thats all you get
"It happened One Autum" - I dont think you would like it. Its a love story how they cant admit that they love eachother and then when they do, cant keep there hands off eachother

*Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters vol.11
by: IDW comics
(Godzilla vs Battra and Rodan, that sums up the entire issue)
*Fantastic Four vol.602
by: Marvel comics
(I need to learn not to grab comics just because I see Galactus on the cover. The F4 are always up to stuff that seems to contradict other stuff going on in the other comics. But it seems Reed Richards has summoned Galactus, mistakenly thinking the Kree assaualt on Earth...which for me just reading Annihilation Earthfall makes no sense, is this death forshadowed that Galactus warned them about. But it turns out the true event is just starting as a bunch of Celestials show up.)
