DCeased: Dead Planet #2 – ShadowFall
DCeased: Dead Planet #2
DCeased: Dead Planet #2 (Taylor, Hairsine) is a must on every DC fan’s pull list! The action and gruesome scenes are some of the best you will see in any comic nowadays. An addicting read that has fans wanting more every time.

Flash #758: Double Your Pleasure
Flash #758 (Williamson, Duce, Kolins, Guerrero, Hi-Fi) throws everything, the kitchen sink, and Barry Allen’s long-forgotten future kids into the mix, trying to stir the pot and make “Legion of Zoom” interesting. It doesn’t succeed. Williamson’s run is suddenly running on fumes, his usual big ideas relegated to also-ran tropes that readers have seen countless times before.

The Last God #7: Giving People Hope
The Last God #7
The Last God #7 (Kennedy Johnson, Federici, Gho, Napolitano) is a strong and necessary continuation of the overarching story that finds it’s greatest success in scaling back on the epic high fantasy just slightly and focusing on intimate character development.

Teen Titans #43: Fear Leads to Hate, Hate Leads to Anger, Anger Leads to Your Teammates Waling on You
Haven’t checked out Teen Titans in awhile? #43 (Thompson, Merino, Ferreira, Maiolo) is a helluva starting point. Things are getting dark for the team, and that couldn’t be better for readers.
DetailsCatwoman #23 …Sometimes The Boogeyman is Real
Catwoman #23
Catwoman #23 (Northcott, Murphy, Plascencia, Napolitano) Off to an exciting new adventure for Catwoman in Isla Nevada where she may not be the most dangerous cat!
DetailsBatman and the Outsiders #14: We are the Outsiders, After All
Batman and the Outsiders #14
Batman and the Outsiders #14 (Hill, Soy, Gandini) is a pleasant surprise in a series that seems to have had a slow start. Hill has several power dynamics going with Batman, Lady Shiva, and Black Lighting that could be extremely interesting, which just might be the spark the series needs.
DetailsHarley Quinn Black + White + Red #5: Harley Knew How to Get Things Done
Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #5
With every page being a lot of fun to look at, it’s difficult not to have a great time with Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #5 (Rossmo, Bennett). However, it just doesn’t deliver the depth of character promised from such a strong premise.
DetailsAquaman #61: Who Run the World?
Aquaman #61 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) is that rarest of gems: a comic that arrives with no fanfare and is utterly flawless in its execution from start to finish. Don’t miss out on the best Aquaman in a quarter-century.
DetailsWonder Woman #759: “Do the Math…”
Wonder Woman #759
A bold new era for Diana begins in Wonder Woman #759 (@marikotamaki @mikeljanin #jordiebellaire @droog811 @JimLee @Sinccolor @DCcomics) as the new creative arrives and brings along new allies and old foes!

Doom Patrol Weight of the Worlds #7
If you haven’t been following the series, there likely isn’t a rush on picking it up anytime soon especially with a lackluster ending due to early cancellation, but for fans who have stuck with it, Doom Patrol: Weight of the World’s #7 (Way, Lambert, Derington, Allred, Bonvillain, Bowland) does capture a lot of the fun and heart that made the series worthwhile to begin with.
DetailsStrange Adventures #3: Femme Fatale
Strange Adventures #3
Aside from some narrative oversights which drag the tale down to the merely passable, this is a deeply enjoyable read.
