Restoring the old status quo, Venom #6 reunites Eddie Brock with his beloved symbiote! It's effectively a relaunch, and it's going to be interesting to see where we go from here.
Most #0 issues essentially set the scene. Not Secret Empire #0 - this dives straight into the plot. If you want to know what's going on in Marvel, don't sleep on this one.
"Burning Down the House" has been a strong arc, but sadly, the resolution is a little lacking. Still, this issue of Suicide Squad bodes well for the future.
The X-Men's ResurrXion may be relaunching the franchise, but some key names are sticking around. One of them is Cullen Bunn, who's earned a lot of respect from X-Men fans over the last years. Bunn's tremendous Magneto run proved just how well he can blend the dense continuity of the franchise with new-reader-accessible plots, and the last year's seen him helm Uncanny X-Men, a book that proved to be a real fan-favorite. That was particularly impressive given X-Men fans were generally dissatisfied with the franchise's overall direction.
Star Wars #30 is a strong issue, but it's sadly undermined by an uncomfortable concept. If you can get past the continuity issues, though, you should enjoy it.
Last year, writer Nick Spencer shocked Marvel fans across the world with Captain America: Steve Rogers #1. This issue revealed that Steve Rogers - Captain America himself - had become an agent of Hydra. By the second issue, we'd learned just how this had happened; Steve Rogers's past had been rewritten by Kobik, the living Cosmic Cube.
