Welcome to another week in the COVID-19 Universe.  Fortunately, the latest restrictions imposed on us have not closed comic shops, bookstores or distribution of new comics.  Here's what's being put into my file this week.  I'm okay waiting as I'm miles behind on all of these titles due to heavy work and fitness commitments:

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #53.LR               

FANTASTIC FOUR ANTITHESIS #4 (OF4)                

BATMANWHITE KNIGHT PRESENTS HARLEY QUINN #2 (OF 6)

DETECTIVE COMICS 1031

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES 11

DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH #3
SAVAGE DRAGON #254
SCUMBAG #2
X-RAY ROBOT #4
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #53.LR
DAREDEVIL #24
FANTASTIC FOUR ANTITHESIS #4 (Brian, I've only gotten to #2. So far nothing earth shattering, but pleasant enough. Note that I wasn't the biggest fan of Waid's previous FF run, but this has been nice.)
MAESTRO #4
MARVEL #2
VAMPIRELLA #15
EVER WAY OUT OGN

Department of Truth pre-orders don't kick in for me until #4 so went to LCS to snag it and discovered they were having a sale, so also grabbed:

Die! Die! Die! #1-13 - Already getting Die from Image so the prospect of getting this as well amused me. Flipping through it, it seemed interestingly demented, so I'm giving it a proper go.

Ludocrats #1-5 - Flipped through this on several occasions but couldn't decide if it was for me. Still not sure, but here we are. :-)

November v.1-3 - Interesting concept, but Fraction can be unreliable so I wanted to get closer to the finish line before trying it. (One left to go.)

Brian,
I have really enjoyed FF : Antithesis. It feels and looks like a comic book. Remember those? ; )

Snake Eyes Deadgame #3- Not a big Liefeld fan (or a fan of non Larry Hama G.I. Joe books) but he made a monetary contribution to my LCS when they were shut down so I'll support him.

Fantastic Four Antithesis #4- Good story, great art and for me, not Dan Slott fan fiction. I've really enjoyed this book.

Maestro #4- I've liked this story. Dale Keown doing all the interiors would make it much better.

Marvel #2- This still has me intrigued.

Shang Chi #3- I'm not getting much out of this unfortunately.

Batman White Knight Presents Harley Quinn #2- This mini has interested me in the whole White Knight universe.

On a side note about FF Antithesis: A "reviewer" on Bleeding Cool gave the first issue a meh review saying something to the effect that it's a book that will appeal to old readers and not really anyone else. It's pretty popular with the younger readers at my LCS but it also made me wonder how many people who read Bleeding Cool didn't check the book out based on one person's opinion.

MARVEL #2 - I just got it for the Dan Brereton X-Men story, which was cute. The art was to die for, though.

THE SCUMBAG #2 - So far this is fun - the usual 'moron ends up with the power to save the world' story but we'll see how it goes.

XO MANOWAR #2 - Eh, not too much to this one.

GRENDEL KENTUCKY #3 - Solid but doesn't feel like the penultimate issue, either. Doesn't have a sense that it's building to that big climax. Maybe it was meant to be longer but they're cutting it off next issue?

John, 
I'm a pretty big XO Manowar fan but the wait between a lackluster issue 1 and #2 caused me to lose interest.
