Legion of Super-Heroes #7
Legion of Super-Heroes #7 (Bendis, Sook & von Grawbadger, Byrne, Bellaire, Sharpe) delivers another pretty but otherwise inessential issue, filled with talking heads and little forward plot movement.
DetailsAmethyst #4
Amethyst #4 (Reeder, Louise, Downie): Amy Reeder’s art and how it relates to the emotional narrative highlights this story every time, and it’s what ultimately makes it appealing, engaging, mesmerizing, and a story worth following, even if it sometimes gets lost in its main conflict.
DetailsHarley Quinn Black + White + Red #7
Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #7 (Henderson, Downie) is another strong entry with enjoyable artwork that falters just slightly in relying on the well trodden path of Harley’s relationship difficulties for a predictable story.
DetailsJustice league #50
The writing for Justice League #50 (Spurrier, Lopresti, Ryan) is superb, and the twists, while familiar, add layers of depth!
DetailsStrange Adventures #4
Adroit art is, in Strange Adventures #4 (King, Shaner, Gerads), unfortunately shackled to a grinding cog of a story. Let’s hope that this is merely a workmanlike pause in the artistry, rather than the whole of the story.
DetailsSuicide Squad #7
Suicide Squad #7 (Taylor, Sampere, Albarran, Lucas, Abbott) is a welcome bit of durable superhero storytelling, full of the action, character work, and great art readers expect.
DetailsThe Dreamig: Waking Hours #1
The Dreaming: Waking Hours #1 (Wilson, Robles, Lopes) takes the baton from Simon Spurrier in a magnificent stride. Wilson’s writing feels right at home in The Dreaming and Sandman Universe. A great story with killer art, The Dreaming: Waking Hours should not be missed!
DetailsYoung Justice #17
Young Justice #17 (Bendis, Walker, Godlewski, Abbott, Elraeb) is a great jumping-on point and the calm before the storm issue in what looks to be a very explosive time for the team!
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal – Legends of the Dark Knights #1
Please do not buy Dark Nights: Death Metal – Legends of the Dark Knights unless you have the disposable income to do so. It isn’t worth your time or hard-earned money, unless you’re a hardcore completist. There are moments of fun, but they’re lost in the deluge.
DetailsBatman #96
Batman #96 (@JamestheFourth @JorgeJimenezArt @tomeu_morey @ClaytonCowles) injects a strong emotional core into “The Joker War” while possibly quietly introducing a new character.
DetailsDCeased: 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.
DetailsFlash #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.
