He-Man & the Masters of the Multiverse #6: He-Mania
He-Man & the Masters of the Multiverse #6
He-Man & The Masters of the Multiverse #6 (Seeley, Derenick, Yackley, Temofonte) is a fitting good-bye from a series that we don’t want to leave.

Batman: Gotham Nights #4-5: Clowns to the Left of Me…
Batman: Gotham Nights #4-5
Batman: Gotham Nights #4-5 (Russell, Benjamin, Friend, Sinclair) from DC’s Digital Firsts line land slightly better than previous issues thanks to Russell but still feel like a lot of potential was lost along the way.

DCeased: Unkillables #1-3: Corrupted by the Best
DCeased: Unkillables #1-3
DCeased: Unkillables #1-3 (Taylor, Mostert, Scott, Edwards, Lokus, Temofonte) is an exciting and fast-paced miniseries that hits the ground running to successfully maintain the momentum of the original event. It’s brutally heartfelt and uniquely memorable, so if you haven’t read DCeased yet, now is the time, because you don’t want to miss this one!

Wonder Woman #755: And the Truth Shall Set You Free
Wonder Woman #755 (Orlando, Merino, Cifuentes, Fajardo Jr.) questions just how potent an avatar for truth Diana REALLY is when she’s confronted with a well-intended mistake from her past. It’s largely successful in its endeavor, and hits a comfort zone as far as the title character is concerned that should strike all the right chords with fans.

Batman: Gotham Nights #2-3: Twinkies for the Starving
Batman: Gotham Nights #2-3
Batman: Gotham Nights #2-3 (Grey, Benjamin, Friend, Sinclair) from the DC Digital Firsts line are anything but fresh as the reprinted material is just about as generic as possible.

Swamp Thing: New Roots #4: Rules of Engagement
Swamp Thing: New Roots #4
Swamp Thing: New Roots #4 (Russell, Santuccci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is certainly fun, but it’s also essentially rendered meaningless by its own narrative. If you aren’t committed to reading every issue in the DC Digital Firsts lineup, this is an issue you can skip.

Harley Quinn #72: Trust Me I’mma Doctor!
Harley Quinn #72
Humphries has achieved an iconic status with this run on Harley Quinn, and this arc shows that there are emotional ramifications that can continue to be explored long after this series, but Harley Quinn #72 (Humphries, Abel, Hi-Fi, Sharpe) also shows that the story isn’t nearly completed yet. There might be some new developments for fans to come to terms with, but it’s an enjoyable issue and on par with the quality we’ve come to expect from this team.

Batman: The Return #1 (2011): Sweet Sound of Glory and Order and Architecture
Batman: The Return #1 (2011)
Batman: The Return (2011) (Morrison, Finch, Steigerwald, Sharpe) is a one-shot from an absolute superstar team of creative talent set to bridge two eras as Bruce returns to the cape and cowl following Dick’s time as Batman but this particular issue finds true success in how the Batfamily has held down Gotham in his stead.

The Flash: Fastest Man Alive #3: Science Nerds
What’s a lighthearted superhero romp is derailed by woefully inconsistent art in Flash: Fastest Man Alive #3 (Simone, Henry, Maiolo). Probably not spectacular enough to lure new readers in, and too basic to be of much interest to seasoned vets: this comic lands frustratingly in the middle, resting in the limbo of comics you forget almost as soon as you’re done reading them.
