Rorschach #3: Heartland Paranoia
Rorschach #3
In Rorschach #3 (@TomKingTK @jfornes74 @Dragonmnky), the creative team has managed to get me invested and hopefully future issues can keep up this high quality of work. #DCComics #BlackLabel

Rorschach #2: We Have “The Question” at Home
Rorschach #2
Blending gritty detective storytelling with near minimalist art, this creative team is weaving a great mystery, though as it continues, I hope it finds more ways to tie into the Watchmen universe outside of just a few references and the titular heroes name.
DetailsPunchline #1: Hoping the Joke Sticks the Landing
Punchline #1
Punchline #1 (@JamesTheFourth Johns @Mirkand @rfajardojr): Tying her identity so close to such a prominent villain has a chance to overshadow her bright future, the creative has a chance to create a lasting character in Punchline! #DCComics
DetailsRorschach #1: You’re Trapped in Here with Me
Rorschach #1
Whether ambivalence to this issue is due to fatigue from Doomsday Clock, the HBO show or just simply wanting the world of Watchmen to take a rest, Rorschach #1 (@TomKingTK @jfornes74 @Dragonmnky) doesn’t create the highest of hopes for this series as it just seems superfluous at best.
DetailsBatgirl #49: “Batgirl’s Dead”
Batgirl #49
Batgirl #49’s (Castellucci, Rodriguez, Bellaire) rushed and anticlimactic ending (as mandated by an editorial cancellation) knocks down what could have been an amazing five-issue arc if it needed to be. The concept is solid, but time – and cancellation – wait for no man. Or girl.

Hawkman #27 – What’s Old is New Again
Hawkman #27
Robert Venditti and his team continue to make this one of the best written comics that DC is currently publishing and one of the best drawn as well.
DetailsDetective Comics #1023: Of Jokes and Owls
Detective Comics #1023
Detective Comics #1023 (Tomasi, Walker, Hennessey, Anderson) still stands as one of the best Batman books being released right now, especially when there are SO MANY to choose from!

Batman/Superman #8: A Mutual Respect
Batman/Superman #8
Batman/Superman #8 (Williamson, Derington, McCaig, Hill): Williamson is telling a great story with Batman and Superman combating their greatest threats and he’s bringing over talents like Nick Derington to help tell those stories.
Details
Red Hood: Outlaw #44: Back to the Middle
Red Hood: Outlaw #44
Red Hood: Outlaw #44 (Lobdell, Pantalena, Prianto, Peteri): If you were a fan of Lobdell’s New 52 Red Hood and the Outlaws and hoped that stories of that ilk would continue, this is certainly the issue for you.

Machine Man 2020 #2: Pray to Your Fleshy God!
Machine Man 2020 #2
Machine Man 2020 #2 (Gage, McDonald, Sanchez-Almara): This book was a ton of fun and worth bearing the name of Machine Man for what has proved to be a VERY good event so far.
Details
Runaways #31: Cannon Fodder Finale
Runaways #31
Runaways #31 (Rowell, Genolet, Cunniffe): Overall, this was a dark and fitting end to one of the better Runaways arcs since the book restarted!
Details
Hawkman #22: Hawkwoman’s HERstory
Hawkman #22
Hawkman #22 (Venditti, Pasarin, Albert, von Grawbadger): Truly, this whole saga of Hawkman is worth reading because of issues like this one.
