Legion of Super-Heroes #6
Despite great art and well-written and snappy dialogue, Legion of Super-Heroes #6 (Bendis, Sook, Von Grawbadger, Bellaire, Sharpe) is only a so-so book, brought down by Bendis’ historical problems with pacing and plotting.
DetailsBatman and The Outsiders #13
Batman and The Outsiders #13 (Hill, Melnikov, Plascencia) shows an inkling of potential in an otherwise dull series. It is time for the Outsiders to leave Batman’s shadow.
DetailsNightwing #71
Nightwing #71 (Jurgens, Cliquet, Filardi): This is the first time in awhile that the stakes have really felt appropriately heavy for someone of Nightwing’s ability. That alone makes this issue worth picking up.
DetailsHarley Quinn: Breaking Glass
Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass (Tamaki, Pugh, Mangual) is a graphic novel of substance, depth of character and remarkable artistic execution, utilizing a grounded approach to Harley to confront socially relevant issues directly with tact and emotion. Go buy this book. #CWPride

DetailsAmethyst #3
Amethyst #3 (Reeder, Louise, Downie): A passing issue in the middle of a captivating story, but by itself not telling much and with some lacks in characterization and plot holes that make us want to place it with later issues to see where the story goes.
DetailsCatwoman 80th Anniversary 100 Page Super Spectacular #1
Join Comic Watch and DC Comics in saying a very happy, 8oth birthday to Catwoman with the Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-page Super Spectacular!
DetailsHarley Quinn #73
Harley Quinn #73 (Humphries, Basri, Hi-Fi, Sharpe) is just another incredibly fun and heartfelt issue that capitalizes on all the best parts of the character, even if there are a few strange decisions (looking at you Booster)!
DetailsYoung Justice #15
Young Justice #15 (Bendis, Walker, Timms, Godlewski, Eltaeb, Abbot) is anything but kids stuff. A maturely written book about a teenage superhero team that features beautiful art and execution.
DetailsWonder Woman #757 (Orlando, Merino, Cifuento, Fajardo Jr.) gets tripped up on its own attempted cleverness, resulting in a deux ex machina that causes the conclusion of “The Four Horsewomen” to not only fall flat, but not even be a conclusion at all.
DetailsSuperman #22
Superman #22 (Bendis, Maguire) sees the series return after the COVID-19 induced hiatus to deliver an anti-climactic finale to an otherwise extremely well-done arc in “The Truth”.
DetailsDark Knights: Death Metal #1 (Snyder, Capullo, Glapion, Plascencia) is more fun than a barrel of used death metal CDs. Big, fun, and utterly over the top, the fate of the DCU being at stake couldn’t possibly be a louder power chord!
