Swamp Thing: New Roots #6
This is a series that goes right to the heart of what Swamp Thing stands for, and while the story can feel predictable, rest assured the end we find in Swamp Thing: New Roots #6 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is something you won’t see coming. It’s a wonderful twist that will have you thinking about this book long after reading it.

Birds of Prey on Black Label: Generic Title
Birds of Prey
Do yourself a favor and just skip Birds of Prey (Azzarello, Lupacchino). A very pretty book with no imagination and a high price tag.

Teen Titans #41: The Power Within (Is as Cheesy as it Sounds)
Teen Titans #41 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) shows the writers of this book running on fumes, as “Djinn Wars” comes to a jaw-droppingly easy conclusion and the characters keep circling back to their inherent mistrust of Robin, who continues to be stuck in neutral right now as well, unable to admit his mistakes. A once-great book that has apparently run out of ideas, the art is stellar, but that’s about it.

MYTHOS: X-Men #1 (2006): Let’s Have a History Lesson
MYTHOS: X-Men #1
There is no getting around it, Mythos: X-Men #1 (Jenkins, Rivera, Caramagna) is frustratingly subpar. There just isn’t much to be gained aside from some enjoyable visuals that can’t be better substantiated by going back to the 1963 classic #1 issue this story is based on.
