This was one of those nights Lizzy knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep. She did that thing where she thought too hard about falling asleep and now she was in the familiar cycle of waking sleep. This stress dream kept waking her up in a panic. Each time she fell asleep, she would dream there was a woman in the corner of her ceiling, arms spread out against the wall, just staring at her.

Eternity Girl #4 (of 6) (Vertigo)
Magdalene Visaggio (W) Sonny Liew (A)
This book is about something else entirely. It’s about rejection, neglect, depression, anxiety. It’s about all of those things and about a girl who just wants to exist without pain. How does she accomplish that without losing it all? How do any of us?
Sideways #5 (DC)
Justin Jordan (W) Robert Gill (A)
So uh, weird shit is gonna happen in this issue? I mean, based on solicitations, the next few issues are going to rip my heart out in a psychedelic sorta way. Like maybe a portal to that weird “Yellow Submarine” dimension is gonna open up in my aortic valve. Yeah, that’s a fun picture.

Matthew Rosenberg (W) Stefano Landini (A)

Wonder Woman #48 (DC)
James Robinson (W) Jesus Merino (A)
Fun little sidebar with the annual last week, but now we’re back on track with some funky fresh jams. Diana basically wished some angry Gods into the universe when she broke the source wall with her magical metal armor made from hope and friendship. Okay, part of that wasn’t true. You figure it out.
Old Man Logan #41 (Marvel)
Ed Brisson (W) Dalibor Talajic (A)

Venom #2 (Marvel)
Donny Cates (W) Ryan Stegman (A)
“I don’t want to sound too cocky but this venom comic we are making is way better than Watchmen” – Ryan Stegman April 9th 2018. He’s not wrong.

Oblivion Song #4 (Image)
Robert Kirkman (W) Lorenzo De Felici (A)
This book is quickly becoming about one man’s quest to right a wrong via suicide. Somehow way sadder.
Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #305 (Marvel)

Copperhead #19 (Image)
Jay Faerber/Scott Godlewski (W) Ron Riley (A)
One of them creators is back. That’s cool and sad. Seeing as it’s probably because the book is ending in four issues. Aw.
Mister Miracle #9 (of 12) (DC)
Tom King (W) Mitch Gerads (A)
Bad things are gonna happen. I just know it.
After a night of tossing and turning, Liz had fallen asleep by sheer power of will. Maybe only for a few hours, but dammit, she had won. The morning light broke through her blinds and as she reached for her phone, her heart stopped. Her entire body froze in panic as she looked at the wall. The woman was still there.
