WOLVERINE #2: Your Own Worst Problem
WOLVERINE #2
WOLVERINE #2 (Percy, Kubert, Martin, Petit) is a superb effort with all the elements of art working together with the writing for an excellent second installment that leaves you wanting more.

Action Comics #1021: Too Much Justice
Action Comics #1021
Action Comics #1021 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Janson, Anderson, Sharpe) is a crowded issue that concludes an arc that had already strayed away. A few fun action sequences save the issue, but not by much.

The Red Mother #4: Daisy’s Daily Grind
The Red Mother #4
The Red Mother #4 (Haun, Luckert, Dukeshire) remains haunting and, at moments, striking, but its predictable narrative structure and artistic shortcomings can get in the way of an otherwise creepy and compelling story.
Details
Amazing Spider-Man #42: Gog in The Machine
Amazing Spider-Man #42
Amazing Spider-Man #42 (Spencer, Ottley, Fairbairn) is fun, despite a slower pace and a break from the “heavy” story that the title is involved in.
Details
The Flash #752: O Mother, Where Art Thou?
Flash #752 (Williamson, Porter, Hi-Fi) slows down just a hair and gives its protagonist some space to breathe… in Heaven? Things aren’t what they seem, but just because the story has swerved into new territory, doesn’t mean “Flash Age” should be missed!

Giant Sized X-Men: Nightcrawler #1: Haunted Mansions A-Go-Go
Giant Sized X-Men: Nightcrawler #1
Giant Sized X-Men: Nightcrawler #1 (Hickman, Davis, Lopez, Cowles): Want a taste of the original Excalibur with a side order of jump-scares and a truckload of absolutely amazing art? Yes? Then grab this issue.
Details
Aquaman #58: Peace in Our Time?
Enough praise cannot be heaped on just how great the current Aquaman run is, and issue #58 (DeConnick, Mendonca, Fajardo Jr.) is no exception. Character-first, subtle, and with wholly gorgeous art, this book is quietly one of DC’s best right now.

The Immortal Hulk #32: The Creeping Terror
The Immortal Hulk #32
Immortal Hulk #32 (Ewing, Bennett, Rodriguez): Terror and lies creep into the minds of the population as monsters prepare to devour the planet and leave nothing behind but death!
Details
Spawn #306: The Monster Who Killed Our Future
Spawn #306
Hope you’re ready for an all-new direction, because Spawn #306 (McFarlane, Tan, Glapion, Gho, Orzechowski) is a beautifully disorientating turn into unknown territory that fans simply won’t see coming.
Details
Hawkman #22: Hawkwoman’s HERstory
Hawkman #22
Hawkman #22 (Venditti, Pasarin, Albert, von Grawbadger): Truly, this whole saga of Hawkman is worth reading because of issues like this one.

Hellions #1: (SPOILER FREE) To Hell in a Hand Basket
Hellions #1
Hellions #1 (Wells, Segovia) offers solutions to the problem of anti-social mutants in the New World Order with a misfit team of wildcards under the command of Sinister and Kwannon.
Details
Teen Titans #40: Hell Awaits
Although normally a reliably entertaining title, Teen Titans #40 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) chooses to play it far too safe and winds up being an exercise in banality instead. The art team saves it from being a complete wash, at least.
