Suicide Squad #1
Suicide Squad #1 (Taylor, Redondo) arrives and carries with it a familiar sense of apprehension for old school Squad readers. Anybody could be offed at any moment as Task Force X returns to its past glory.
DetailsBasketful of Heads #3
A stressful, head-scratching (heh) issue, Basketful of Heads #3 (Hill, Leomacs, Stewart, Bennett) continues to deliver twists, turns, and terrors that make readers excited for more.
DetailsBatman vs. Ra’s al Ghul #3
Batman vs. Ra’s al Ghul #3 (Adams, Robins): Beautiful artwork and odd, whimsical story, greatly weighed down by lots of unnecessary dialogue that doesn’t actually make much sense.
DetailsWonder Woman #83 (Orlando, Mendonca, Raapack) It’s Diana vs. Cheetah, with Silencer throwing herself into the middle! But what at first glance appears to be a by-the-numbers superhero throwdown is anything but – instead, it’s a lesson on who Wonder Woman is and what makes her unique among superheroes!
DetailsThe Batman’s Grave #3
The Batman’s Grave #3 (Ellis, Hitch, Nowlan, Sinclair, Starkings) continues to take a hyper-realistic look at the intricacies of being The Batman and what implications may lie in the more mundane moments of his life.
DetailsCollapser #1-6
With the arrival of Collapser #6 (Way, Simon, Kyriazis, Peter, Bowland) the final issue in the awkwardly insightful series from DC’s Young Animal, we find a story that is encapsulated by the struggle for self identity and expression, as well as what it means to be happy.
DetailsLegion of Super-Heroes #2
Legion of Super-Heroes #2 (Bendis, Sook, von Grawbadger, Bellaire) is one of the most breath-takingly gorgeous books on the stands today – but is the story beneath more than just paper-thin filler?
DetailsHarley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4
Overall, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4 is a good, not great continuation in the mini-series. It has plenty of fan service but not quite enough depth of plot to carry the story forward in a meaningful way.
DetailsWonder Woman : Dead Earth #1
Wonder Woman : Dead Earth #1 (Johnson, Spicer, Wooton): This is a brutal, beautiful story which strips Wonder Woman down to the bones of the myth — then polishes those ruins until they absolutely glow.
DetailsHawkman #19
Hawkman #19 (Venditti, Oliffe) Robert Venditti is still managing to tell a good story that elevates Hawkman’s already rich lore and it’s still fun and enjoyable.
DetailsFar Sector #2
Far Sector #2 (Jemisin, Campbell, Bennett) dives ever deeper in the City Enduring and its resident Green Lantern as Jo begins to gain a better understanding of just how pervasive a lack of emotion can be.
DetailsDetective Comics #1017
Detective Comics #1017 (Taylor, Blanco, Kalisz) In an age where every conflict is near universal, it’s always refreshing to have something small-scale.
