4.5/5
Thief of Thieves #12
Thief Of Thieves #12 highlights the best of what the series can offer. Between brilliant set-pieces that play well into the genre, an interesting father and son dynamic and all variants of cat-and-mouse plot lines,
Thief Of Thieves #12 keeps the action and suspense high on every page.

GODZILLA #10
It goes without saying by now that I am a huge Godzilla fan, so I get to review these comics in a special way. The Ongoing sadly has been all over the place in terms of quality. One thing's for sure, it has ranged from consistently average to good. The problems include a poorly developed human cast, the story was generally uninteresting sometimes, and Godzilla himself was just a plot device. This final act has been getting some pretty big hype. The first part was great, but the second was sadly very average when compared to its predecessor. The humor with the human characters is sometimes too quirky. Despite being disappointed in the past, I had high expectations for this tenth issue. Thankfully it has surpassed them, this might just be the best issue from the series yet. (Rodan is back!)

Locke And Key Omega #3
With the exception of that one extraneous scene,
Locke & Key: Omega #3 is another great issue that marches us inevitably closer to Tyler, Kinsey, Bode, and Dodge's final bow. I'm both eagerly anticipating and dreading the next issue, when it looks as though all hell will really break loose.

Jericho Season 4 #2
When attempting to continue a canceled property in another medium there are certain hurdles that need to be to dealt with. First and foremost is the translation of the previously continuing narrative. By that I mean, how much do you actually bring over to a potentially new or uninitiated audience? For each creative team the answer is guaranteed to be different and in this case it's rather self evident.
