Birds of Prey on Black Label: Generic Title
Birds of Prey
Do yourself a favor and just skip Birds of Prey (Azzarello, Lupacchino). A very pretty book with no imagination and a high price tag.

Teen Titans #41: The Power Within (Is as Cheesy as it Sounds)
Teen Titans #41 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) shows the writers of this book running on fumes, as “Djinn Wars” comes to a jaw-droppingly easy conclusion and the characters keep circling back to their inherent mistrust of Robin, who continues to be stuck in neutral right now as well, unable to admit his mistakes. A once-great book that has apparently run out of ideas, the art is stellar, but that’s about it.

Justice League Dark #22: Are Our Stories Not Worth Saving?
Justice League Dark #22
Justice League Dark #22 (V, Tynion IV, Martinez Bueno, Nahuelpan, Fernandez, Chung, Leigh) finds strength in the exploration of humanity, the natural order of chaos and how we can influence it with our own story, getting right to the heart of what this entire series has been about. It’s a can’t miss issue for sure.

Green Lantern Season Two #3: Thunder On Wonder Mountain
Green Lantern Season Two #3
Green Lantern Season Two #3 (Morrison, Sharp, Orzechowski) continues the fun and adventurous one-and-done storytelling of the series so far, but Morrison’s script is brought down by so-so art by Liam Sharp, who handles art and colors this issue.

Planetary #10: The Light in Blackest Night
Planetary #10
After the dramatic events in the last issue which saw the release of a fictional individual into our own reality thanks to the Four, Planetary #10 (Ellis, Cassady, Depuy, Baron, Cline) unsurprisingly takes the series in a new direction as the stakes and players become more clear with every issue.

The Flash #754: Reverse-Flash Facts
Flash #754 (Williamson, Sandoval, Prianto, Terragona) may have a couple of blindingly obvious plot holes that exist due to an overuse of gimmickry, but that doesn’t stop it from being a flat-out FUN comic. Sometimes, pure escapism is all you need.
