Pick of the Week:
Nailbiter #20 - Wait. No. That didn't happen. There is no way I read what I just think I read. Let's backtrack a little bit. Barker and Finch wrap things up nicely in Atlanta, but as they close in on arresting Vaughn for the string of former Buckaroo residents who have been murdered, he mentions a mysterious Master who might be part of the cause as to why residents of Buckaroo grow up to be serial killers. Barker is dealing with her own flashes of violence and fears she might turn at any moment, but this new development is very promising. Joshua Williamson is a big tease. Whenever he reveals more, you realize that there is still much more that remains hidden. All I know about the mystery, is that it is so big and horrifying, that the FBI and others who know about it will do everything they can do so it remains hidden. They won't stop it, they will only cover it up. At least Finch's partner, Carroll, who recruited Finch to Buckaroo way back in the first issue, is finally waking up from his coma. Without spoiling anything, it is worth the wait for his awakening.
The Rest:
The Walking Dead #151 - Robert Kirkman gives us a very interesting Walking Dead this week. It opens with some good old fashioned zombie hunting, but the meat of this issue is what might be ultimately setting up Rick's downfall. All he is wants is the trust of the people, but all he is doing is putting his people in charge. It seems like he is opening the door for Negan to plant a seed of mistrust in one of his caregivers to really shake things up. The revelation at the end was pretty good, but I think Rick's tunnel vision is going to lead to his end. Not sure why, but I feel that he only has a few more issues left before Negan finally does him in.

Obi-Wan & Anakin #2 - The steam punk adventures of Anakin and Obi-Wan continue as they attempt to find who sent the distress call on the ancient Jedi frequency. The waring factions on this planet, the open and closed, appear to have no middle ground. After their planet was left for dead, these two competing factions have been vying for control. While the main story is entertaining, the gem in this issue is the flashback that gives us a glimpse of how the Emperor began to corrupt a young Anakin. We don't see much, but possibly enough to bring me back for issue #3.
