Hello and welcome back to Saturday Morning Panels! You know the drill. Each week the Multiversity staff lovingly scours the new releases to find you, our dear reader, our favorite panels and moments. And we have a fantastic line up for you this week!

So kick-back, watch out for spoilers, talk about your favorites in comments section below, and enjoy!

“Daredevil” #14: Zdarsky, stop making me feel bad for Fisk. I don’t like these conflicting emotions! (Also, shout out to Charles Soule for allowing this status quo shift to stand at the end of his run and for Zdarsky for running with it.) – Elias Rosner

“Dead Eyes” #3: Dracula may have been a blood-sucking aristocrat but not even he would stoop to this level of penny pinching. – Elias Rosner

“Die” #10: Hey, when nerds get married, that’s their vow. Tell me I’m wrong. – Robbie Pleasant

“Die” #10: Be still my AARRRRTTTTTT. – Elias Rosner

“Doom” #3: Hell. Ah, you mean Doom’s vacation spot. Or was that Hel. Bah! All Shall Vacation Before DOOM! – Elias Rosner

“Everything” #4: Yeah Reuban! Half-priced everything for 7 soul payments of the best thing to happen to this town! – Elias Rosner

“Five Years” #6: *Soft golf voice* Wonderful dismount and a solid shooosh but I’m worried that he just might not stick the landing. – Elias Rosner

“The Magnificent Ms. Marvel” #10: Spider-Man warned you about this, Kamala. This very exact thing. This is why people need to listen more to Spider-Man. – Robbie Pleasant

”Marauders” #3: Right, thank you. Mr. King, do you have anything to declare? – Greg Ellner

“Ruby Falls” #3: This panel is such a fantastic encapsulation the loneliness and tension in these characters. Don’t sleep on this mini y’all. It’s almost over but damn is it good. – Elias Rosner

“Vinland Saga” Vol. 11: See, even Floki is down with the kids these days. Look at that perfect T pose. – Elias Rosner

“Vinland Saga” Vol. 11: And that, my dear Vikings, is How the Grunch Stole Baldr. – Elias Rosner

“X-Men” #3: Not sure about this Golden Girls reboot yet… – Robbie Pleasant

And now, a celebration of “Deathstroke,” which wrapped up this week:

“Deathstroke” #5: Everything I learned about parenting, I learned from Slade Wilson. – Brian Salvatore

“Deathstroke” #11: n “Deathstroke” #11 there are no easy answers. The issue is an exploration of violence in Chicago through the eyes of a contract killer. Writer Christopher Priest leaves the audience with more questions via Slade Wilson’s answer to the solution for gun violence in the very last panel of the issue. The panel is a metaphor for Priest’s run that always kept readers on their toes. Instead of providing a solution, Priest makes sure readers are asking the right questions. The issue takes a stance on gun violence without being overt, challenging weighty topics that most titles (especially comics published by the Big Two) are afraid to talk about. Penciler Denys Cowan captures a beautifully stoic emotion from Slade in the panel with the color fading to black and white with Jeromy Cox. Exploring violence through a bloodstained comic book assassin can leave lesser comic book writers in a sea of clichés. “Deathstroke” #11’s final panel was the tipping point where I realized just how unique “Deathstroke” is. – Alexander Jones

“Deathstroke” #25: Looks like the villains are also reading all the things I’m currently reading in grad school. – Kevin Gregory

“Deathstroke” #31: Only Deathstroke and Wintergreen could find the time to argue like an old couple whilst plummeting to the ground via aircraft. – Devon Browning

“Deathstroke” #50: Priest takes one last opportunity to expertly sidestep Slade having a genuinely heartfelt moment…by dropping a hulking abomination in through the ceiling.
