Doomsday Clock #12
The wait is over and Doomsday Clock #12 (Johns, Frank, Sinclair, Leigh) is available today. SPOILERS AHEAD for an event that will surely go down as one of the most well-crafted superhero events in the history of comics.
DetailsDoom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #6
With contrasting artwork and a rather flimsy plot, Doom Patrol Weight of the Worlds #6 (Way, Lambert, Francia) leans hard into the zaniness and as a result, becomes too disjointed to hold up alongside the rest of the series.
DetailsHarley Quinn: Villain of the Year #1
Harley Quinn: Villain of the Year #1 (Russell, Norton, Hi-Fi, Sharpe) has a few redeeming qualities, but not enough to make it a worthwhile issue in the event’s already overloaded lineup.
DetailsDeathbringer #1
Deathbringer #1 (Quinn, Peeples, Prianto) wasn’t my favorite of the introductory one-shots, but with decent art and good writing, it was still an enjoyable experience.
DetailsBatman and the Outsiders #8
Batman and the Outsiders #8 (Hill, Soy, Gandini, Cowles) is a great step in the right direction for the series, capturing a fundamental sense of heart for the team while entrenching them deeper in a dangerous mystery that is sure to explode at any moment.
DetailsSuperman #18
Superman #18 (Bendis, Reis, Prado, Sinclair, Sharpe) reveals the Man of Steel’s identity to the DC Universe at large but what will the underlying impact to the character of Superman be as we move forward?
DetailsRed Hood: Outlaw #40
Red Hood: Outlaw #40 (Lobdell, Messina, Lokus, Peteri): There might be a clear direction for this, but I just don’t see it and honestly, you’d be better off skipping this one.
DetailsIn Lois Lane #6 (Rucka, Perkins, Eltaeb), General Sam Lane is dead… now we mourn. Rucka and Perkins deliver a bravura-force meditation on loss, mourning, and lack of closure.
DetailsTales from the Dark Multiverse: The Judas Contract #1
Tales from the Dark Multiverse: The Judas Contract #1 (Higgins, Groom, Raney, Hi-Fi, Orzechowski) is an interesting take on the tale, but it lacks the same heart as the original story.
DetailsDark Knight Returns: The Golden Child
Is Dark Knight Returns: The Golden Child #1 (Miller, Grampa, Bellaire) a return to form or an act of hubris? Step back into the grim ‘n’ gritty world of the Dark Knight and see!
DetailsYear of the Villain Ocean Master #1
Year of the Villain Ocean Master #1 (Watters, Mendonca) takes a deep look into the heart of a deep villain. In today’s culture, will society allow a villain to be just plain evil?
DetailsJustice League #37
Justice League #37 (Snyder, Jimenez, Sanchez, Napolitano) is a fun issue full of small, Crisis-esque moments as we build to the conclusion of “The Justice/Doom War”.
