Dark Knights: Death Metal #1: Eaten Back to Life
Dark Knights: Death Metal #1 (Snyder, Capullo, Glapion, Plascencia) is more fun than a barrel of used death metal CDs. Big, fun, and utterly over the top, the fate of the DCU being at stake couldn’t possibly be a louder power chord!

Lois Lane #11 (of 12): Death and the Maiden
Lois Lane #11 (Rucka, Perkins, Troy) proves the creative team not only still has tricks up their sleeves, but have planned this series out to the Nth degree.

Swamp Thing: New Roots #7: Of Course, it was a Cursed Thing
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.

Wonder Woman #756: Wonder Women
Wonder 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.
