Quite a light week for me this week:
Supreme Blue Rose #3
Still beautiful to look at and still dense and a little mystifying to read. Diana Dane is continuing to search for Ethan Crane and is experiencing lucid dreams that give her more information about a revision gone wrong. As well as calling back to the revisions from Alan Moore's run, this reminds me of the theme of "huge cosmic event gone wrong" from Ellis' own newuniversal.
Avengers #35
At the start of his run, Hickman never really convinced me to invest in Ex Nihili as a threat, or later on as an ally. I still don't care. The Sunspot / Cannonball scenes are good, though.
Multiversity: Society of Superheroes
Fantastic stuff. Something brilliant on every page, I really hope Multiversity can keep up this level of quality.
Thor God of Thunder #25
The comics equivalent of a clips show. Not bad as such, but a very anticlimactic end to what has been a tremendous series.
Fables #144
I doubt anyone needs a recommendation for Fables by this point, but just wanted to note that I think the last couple of arcs have been some of the best in a very long time.
The Wicked + the Divine #4
Yes, it's still excellent. Sometimes it's the little touches that mark out a great book, like the show not tell of the sprinkler water failing to touch Lucifer.
