Dark Nights: Death Metal – Speed Metal #1 ( @Williamson_Josh @eddybarrows @ebercomics) isn’t the most jaw-dropping comic you’ll ever read, but it’s a meat-and-potatoes race against time with awesome characterization that at last brings Wally West’s Rebirth-era comeback to a satisfying conclusion. Flash fans, you dare not miss this comic!
DetailsFlash #762 ( @Williamson_Josh @MrHowardPorter @hificolor @swands @dccomics) brings writer Josh Williamson’s 100-issue tenure to a close with a quietly mind-blowing thesis on what makes Barry Allen such an astounding hero. This is one for the record books, folks.
DetailsCatwoman #25
Catwoman #25 oozes style from the first page. The creative team’s love and understanding of the main character is one that lays a marker down early to excite fans that Catwoman is in very capable hands! @therightram @fdoBlanco @fcoo @TENapolitano
Details“Doom Metal” kicks off in Justice League #53 (Williamson, Xermanico, Farjardo Jr.), and although the art is gorgeous, the plot feels threadbare and by-the-numbers. There’s definite potential for growth – due more to overarching narrative promise than anything technically delivered here – but it may take another issue or two to reach it. Turns out, not even death metal can rock at an eleven every time.
DetailsBatman #99
Taking full advantage of stunning artwork, Batman #99 builds on powerful characterizations with emotionally charged developments in the Joker War to set the stage for an exciting finale. @JamesTheFourth @JorgeJimenezArt @Tomeu_Morey @ClaytonCowles
DetailsNightwing #74
Nightwing #74 ( @thedanjurgens @ryanbnjmn @Blasterkid @rainberedo ) After many teases and plot twists, this issue finally delivers the goods and gives fans the moment they’ve long been waiting for ever since “Ric Grayson” hit the scene!
DetailsFlash #761 (Williamson, Porter, Hi-Fi, Wands) fires on all cylinders, slapping readers upside the head with the biggest, fastest, leanest celebration of all things Flash in years. Everybody is here and the water’s fine… jump on in! If you love or even merely like the Flash, this issue is a can’t-miss!
DetailsWonder Woman #762
Wonder Woman #762 delivers intriguing character drama that brings something new and fresh to the series’ lore while still punctuating all the right elements that make WW such a timeless character. @marikotamaki @carlobarberi @santorellimatt @droog811
DetailsHawkman #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.
DetailsSuperman #25
Perhaps less of a villain that originally announced, Synmar is introduced in Superman #25 (@BrianMichaelBendis, #Reis, #Ferreira, @DannyMiki_ @Sinccolor @DavidLSharpe) and it is clearly poised to be a complex threat moving forward.
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Trinity War #1 (Snyder, Manapul, Herring) is a fun romp through crises past as the stakes are upped, but it also doesn’t forget to have some heart and strong character beats. Don’t mistake this comic for being a throwaway just because it’s a tie-in – it’s essential!
DetailsLegion of Superheroes #8
The Trial of the Legion of Super-Heroes finally begins in issue #8 (Bendis, Too Many Artists To Name, Sharpe, Bellaire), where the writing finally rises to the consistent excellence of the art.
