Steam by Shaenon K. Garrity (Emily Holden, Artist)

If you've also felt there's some sort of secret key to winning at the universe and understanding people then you're probably going to like this. Ruby, an escaped science experiment only programmed to fix things is also a barista and the thing she's become focused on fixing is people's love lives. This story is kind and sweet and was a delightful place to inhabit for a while.

Something is Killing the Children Vol. 9 by James Tynion IV (Werther Dell'Edera, Artist)

A solid entry in a solid series that I've been reading since issue 1. In this volume we're with a young Erica who has not earned her Black Mask and ceased training with her mentor Jessica. It's an intersting look at Erica (who has pretty much been herself since she was taken) but it's a far more intersting look at Jessica Slaughter and her past. I'm already looking forward to more.
