Supergirl #39: I’M the Hero
Supergirl #39
Supergirl #39 (Houser, Stott, Peter): For a series that came back with a good purpose, it’s lost its direction by being caught between two event stories while not capitalizing on either.

Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3 (of 4): Say Hi To the Bad Guy
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3
All things taken equally, Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3 (Tynion IV, Epting, Fernandez, Filardi) isn’t a bad comic per se. But it is a step back from the slam-bang fisticuffs of previous installments. There’s some great interplay between Joker and Lex, and the table is set for the (supposedly) final throwdown with the Batman Who Laughs. It’s a table-setting issue, which is fine, but it is dragged down by inconsistent art. It’s a table-setting issue, which is fine, but it is dragged down by inconsistent art.

Strange Adventures #1: Truth is Rarely Pure and Never Simple
Strange Adventures #1
Strange Adventures #1 (King, Gerads, Shaner, Cowles): If you’re in the mood for some complex, surprisingly astute analysis of western colonialism wrapped in a patina of 1940’s all-American pulp, pick up the first issue of Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ Strange Adventures. It’s well worth the cover price.

The Magnificent Mrs. Marvel #13: Never Trust a County Fail
The Magnificent Mrs. Marvel #13
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #13 (Ahmed, Vasquez, Vlasco, Herring) gives us an intriguing new character in Amulet. However, due to its placement between a big arc and an even bigger cross-title event, it doesn’t seem to do much else.
