Sailor Moon Eternal Edition 7 by Naoko Takeuchi (Author)- Just the first part of the pegasus arc, where all the scouts have gotten their power ups.

Hey Princess by Mats Jonsson - this was mostly boring, or a waste or whatever. the main character, who is obsessed with women and indie pop is mostly just insufferable. its just tales of all the people he's dated and or boned, more or less, but i mostly just feel sorry that any of those women had to date him.

Tokyo Ghost Volume 1: Atomic Garden by Rick Remender (Author), Sean Murphy (Artist) Broody ole remender here to brood all over my already bad mood. Basically we've all become addicted to technology, except for mary sue main character. the only place tech free is japan, so they go there, but her heavily tech addicted partner relapses and wreaks havoc. Triggering for obvious reasons. And I'm already sort of in a bad mood, but if I had been in a better mood I think I would have enjoyed this more.

Umbrella Academy Volume 1: Apocalypse Suite by Gerard Way (Author), Gabriel Ba (Illustrator) - I guess this is written by the guy from my chemical romance? I definitely did not pick this out because of that. This is just some orphans that become super heroes. the one who didnt have powers becomes the ultimate villian. runaways did it better. but its fine enough i guess.
