Akiko #51: I love the cover. The inside was pretty standard Akiko fare. "The Beebles" was very amusing, with nice tributes to the originals. "Beeba's 'Bot" needed more book storage. And "Akiko at the Age of Eighty" was bittersweet in a lot of ways. I was kind of hoping for a longer story, and maybe we'll get another one soon. I hope.
Empire #4: Brutal. This is not for the weak of heart. And all the various plots are pulling together now, into what should be a final resolution. Very brutal. And that's not my idea of shopping, either. Ick.
Assembly #1: Shon lives with her sister Elaine, because her parents died in the service, along with just about every other family member. That's the set-up, and you would expect the rest of the issue to follow Shon... but it breaks away into a mecha fight that is a little gruesome (good thing this isn't in color) due to it happening in the middle of a populated city with no time for evacuation. It's got me curious, though, so I'm waiting to see what the next issue brings.
Still to review: Usagi Yojimbo, Justice League Adventures, and Supreme Power.
