Nightwing #75: Return of the Mack
Nightwing #75
Nightwing #75: [Jurgens, Moore, Cliquet, Filardi] You really couldn’t ask for a better return of the great Nightwing than what you receive here.
DetailsBatman #101: What’s Next?!?
Batman #101
Batman #101 (#DCComics @JamesTheFourth @GuillemMarch @tomeu_morey @ClaytonCowles) closes out “The Joker War” story, setting up a bold new era for the Caped Crusader. And any era that includes Grifter is one I’m ready for!
DetailsJustice League #55: Sinister Slaughter
“Doom Metal” finds its mid-tempo groove in Justice League #55 ( @Williamson_Josh Robson Rocha @DHenriquesinks @rfajardojr) , leaning strongly into the inherent strengths of its quest-style story and really running wild with them to great effect. Strong characterization and crisp, detailed art bring it all home. Don’t miss out on this one!
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Robin King #1: None So Vile
Dark Nights: Death Metal – Robin King #1 ( @PeterJTomasi @rileyrossmo1 @ivanplascencia Rob Leigh) takes its title character and fleshes him out in surprising and even nuanced ways. Amid the unhinged terror this tween wonder unleashes without even trying, there’s a character worth caring about! Come for the carnage, stay for the new favorite villain.
DetailsFlash #763: Rings ‘n’ Things
Flash #763 (Shinick, Henry, Maiolo, Wands) is a hollow, forgettable reading experience. From a paper-thin plot to hackneyed emotional beats to art that just doesn’t work, this is one to skip from start to finish.
DetailsJustice League Odyssey #25: All For One
Justice League Odyssey #25
Despite being the end of the series and certainly, the end of some characters, Justice League Odyssey #25 is a fun issue. It is almost a shame that It’s ending, but its exciting to see what’s to come. #DCComics @VincentAbnett @willconrad @rainberedo @andworlddesign
DetailsWonder Woman #764: Goddess Help Me, I Don’t Trust You
Wonder Woman #764
Wonder Woman #764 (Tamaki, Pugh, Fajardo Jr, Brosseau) is a comic that knows how to have fun even in a serious situation, helping to make the issue a worthwhile read for any fan despite falling a bit short on impact. #DCComics #WonderWoman
DetailsBatman and the Outsiders #17: Beyond Batman
Batman and the Outsiders #17
Batman and the Outsiders #17 ( @bryanedwardhill @marcio_takara) is a satisfying sendoff that doesn’t feel like a setup of more to come. Despite this, it leaves plenty of opportunities for its characters to grow and move on beyond the Outsiders. #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.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #4: Resurrection Through Carnage
Dark Nights: Death Metal #4
Dark Nights: Death Metal #4 ( @Ssnyder1835 @GregCapullo @jonathanglapion) finds itself spinning its wheels a bit narratively when it should be charging ahead full-speed. It isn’t a bad issue per se, but it does feel a bit like the story is stuck in neutral. #dccomics
DetailsYoung Justice #19: The Pantheon Trials of Wonder Girl
Young Justice #19
Young Justice #19 is about Cassandra Sandsmark, the granddaughter of Zeus and protege of Wonder Woman, known on earth on Wonder Girl.
DetailsJustice League #54: Mental Funeral
For better or worse, Justice League #54 (Williamson, Xermanico, Fajardo Jr., Napolitano) continues the “Doom Metal” story, but offers little in the way of originality despite some strong character beats. The art is great and suits the tale, but readers might find themselves feeling more ho-hum than blown away.
