Swamp Thing: New Roots #7
These DC Digital Firsts have struggled to overcome the rather mundane approach to storytelling and Swamp Thing: New Roots #7 (Hester, Mandrake, Hi-Fi, Sharpe) just fell into that same pitfall. It’s not a bad book, it’s just not one you will remember for long after reading, and that speaks to the untapped potential these books have.
DetailsJohn Constantine: Hellblazer #6
John Constantine: Hellblazer #6 (Spurrier, Campbell, Bellaire) is visually terrifying with writing so relevant that it is even scarier. Spurrier, Campbell, and Bellaire offer a great Constantine issue that is meant to be read this very moment.
DetailsHarley Quinn: Make ‘Em Laugh #1
Harley Quinn: Make ‘Em Laugh #1 (Russell, Braga, Guerrero, Dillon) is a visual treat full of humor, overt insanity and wacky irreverence. As Gotham’s most notorious villains continue to arrive, it quickly becomes easy to see that no one can steal the show from Harley.
DetailsSHAZAM #12
SHAZAM #12 (Loveness, Peterson) is a stand alone fill-in issue that at first feels unwelcome but actually turns out to be a lovely tale in the greater story of Billy Batson.
DetailsThe Flash #755 (Williamson, Sandoval, Tarragona, Prianto) brings “Flash Age” to a rip-roaring conclusion, offering twists, turns, and one genuine shock that are sure to bring readers back for more! This is the best this title has been in ages – don’t miss out!
DetailsWonder Woman #756 (Orlando, Merino, Cifuente, Fajardo Jr.) goes a few steps beyond typical superhero punch-’em-ups by layering the drama with moral and philosophical underpinnings that have no easy answers. While not a game changer by any means, this issue definitely stands above standard superhero fare!
DetailsJustice League #46
Justice League #46 (Venditti, Xermanico): the team advances the assault on Tartarus to free Jim Corrigan, so the Spectre will once more be under control! Don’t miss out on the action!
DetailsBatman Secret Files #3
Batman Secret Files #3 is a very well done look at one faction of Batman’s villains while turning the spotlight inward at the Caped Crusader himself.
DetailsBatman #92
Batman #92 (Tynion, March) is dominantly a groundwork issue setting up later development but does feature some of the most fleshed out Punchline development to date.
DetailsCatwoman #22
Catwoman #22 (Sevenbergen, Allred, Downie) is a fun-loving and action-packed issue with moments of heart.
DetailsBirds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1
Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 (Simone, Miranda, Kalisz, Lanham) leans heavily on great characterizations for a story that knows how to have a good time, but lacks the impact necessary to elevate the series beyond casual fun.
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #6
This is a series that goes right to the heart of what Swamp Thing stands for, and while the story can feel predictable, rest assured the end we find in Swamp Thing: New Roots #6 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is something you won’t see coming. It’s a wonderful twist that will have you thinking about this book long after reading it.
