Just Deadpool Corps and Warrior Four for me. Light week.
Deadpool Corps had them talk Champion into joining the team, only for it to be a trick (Again), and they left Dogpool behind on accident. So OK issue, nothing standout, and I'm starting to wonder if I should be looking for a jumping off point or just how long they expect this series to run.
Thor and the Warriors Four, however, was nothing short of a hoot. Take, for example, how it opens with Thor and Beta Ray Bill, who thanks to Energizer shall forever more be known as "Thorse":
Thor: Back! From outer space. Beta Ray Bill: Thor, when you pummeled those Skrulls, you should have seen the look upon their faces. Thor: Aye, friend Beta Ray Bill. It was quite the adventure! BRB: Yet...I should not have made them open the airlock. Thor: No, no. I should have made them leave that key. BRB: If I had thought for one moment they would be back to vex us anew...
It took me a second read-through to get the joke, but it was one of those laugh out loud moments once I got it. The rest of the issue was just as good - it's just a really fun, really cute comic that managed to fill the gap currently left by Guardians of the Galaxy as my favorite book, even if it's just a miniseries.
