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.
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #5
Swamp Thing: New Roots #5 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is the story of Swampy attempting to save what he feels to be his own children, and in that emotional crisis we find all of the heart, relevance and depth needed to tell an enjoyably comprehensive story.
DetailsRobin: Son of Batman #1-6
Damian Wayne’s FIRST ongoing series starts here in Robin: Son of Batman #1-6 (Gleason, Gray, Kalisz, Napolitano), a series that takes a deep dive into both his traumatic upbringing as well as his newfound pursuit of self-improvement for a unique coming of age story that breaks through the emotional walls of Damian and exposes a heartfelt character with unlimited potential.
DetailsPlanetary #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.
DetailsFlash #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.
DetailsHe-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.
DetailsWonder Woman: Agent of Peace #3
Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace #3 (Connor, Palmiotti, Sampere, Lucas) Wonder Woman deals with the horrific truth of her actions, and now she must rally the citizens of Gorilla City to fight an alien beast set on pure destruction.
DetailsBatman: 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.
DetailsDCeased: 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!
DetailsWonder 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.
DetailsBatman: 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.
DetailsSwamp 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.
