Harleen #3
Harleen #3 (Sejic, Downie) is the ultimate cautionary tale of DC’s most tragic couple. Is this the story that the character truly needed to be told right now? That’s for the reader to decide. However, if we are going to retrace the traumatic and toxic origins of Harley and Joker’s relationship, I believe this is the way to do it.
DetailsJustice League #38
“The Justice/Doom War” nears its final chapter in Justice League #38 (Snyder, Jimenez, Sampere).
DetailsSuicide Squad #1
Suicide Squad #1 (Taylor, Redondo) arrives and carries with it a familiar sense of apprehension for old school Squad readers. Anybody could be offed at any moment as Task Force X returns to its past glory.
DetailsBasketful of Heads #3
A stressful, head-scratching (heh) issue, Basketful of Heads #3 (Hill, Leomacs, Stewart, Bennett) continues to deliver twists, turns, and terrors that make readers excited for more.
DetailsBatman vs. Ra’s al Ghul #3
Batman vs. Ra’s al Ghul #3 (Adams, Robins): Beautiful artwork and odd, whimsical story, greatly weighed down by lots of unnecessary dialogue that doesn’t actually make much sense.
DetailsWonder Woman #83 (Orlando, Mendonca, Raapack) It’s Diana vs. Cheetah, with Silencer throwing herself into the middle! But what at first glance appears to be a by-the-numbers superhero throwdown is anything but – instead, it’s a lesson on who Wonder Woman is and what makes her unique among superheroes!
DetailsThe Batman’s Grave #3
The Batman’s Grave #3 (Ellis, Hitch, Nowlan, Sinclair, Starkings) continues to take a hyper-realistic look at the intricacies of being The Batman and what implications may lie in the more mundane moments of his life.
DetailsCollapser #1-6
With the arrival of Collapser #6 (Way, Simon, Kyriazis, Peter, Bowland) the final issue in the awkwardly insightful series from DC’s Young Animal, we find a story that is encapsulated by the struggle for self identity and expression, as well as what it means to be happy.
DetailsLegion of Super-Heroes #2
Legion of Super-Heroes #2 (Bendis, Sook, von Grawbadger, Bellaire) is one of the most breath-takingly gorgeous books on the stands today – but is the story beneath more than just paper-thin filler?
DetailsHarley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4
Overall, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4 is a good, not great continuation in the mini-series. It has plenty of fan service but not quite enough depth of plot to carry the story forward in a meaningful way.
DetailsWonder Woman : Dead Earth #1
Wonder Woman : Dead Earth #1 (Johnson, Spicer, Wooton): This is a brutal, beautiful story which strips Wonder Woman down to the bones of the myth — then polishes those ruins until they absolutely glow.
DetailsHawkman #19
Hawkman #19 (Venditti, Oliffe) Robert Venditti is still managing to tell a good story that elevates Hawkman’s already rich lore and it’s still fun and enjoyable.
