Harley Quinn #68
Harley Quinn #68 (Humphries, Basri, Hi-Fi. Sharpe) is a fun one-shot Christmas story that is very much on brand for the series, full of clever holiday puns and wacky chaos only this character can deliver.
DetailsBuffy is still Slayer-in-absentia in issue #10 (Bellaire, Lopez), so the focus falls on Robin and Rose instead. Unfortunately, neither character has been developed enough to carry the narrative weight of the issue…
DetailsAnnihilation Scourge: Nova #1
Annihilation Scourge: Nova #1 (Rosenberg, Roberson) does an excellent job adding some true human elements to an otherwise outlandish yet fun story.
DetailsNomen Omen #3
Nomen Omen #3 (Bucci, Camagni, Amelia) lays the old world mythology on heavy in this intriguing journey into faeryland.
DetailsDeathstroke #50
Deathstroke #50 (Priest, Pasarin, Pagulayan) brings this daring and underrated series to logical conclusion despite a number of roadblocks along the way.
DetailsYoung Justice #11
Young Justice #11 (Bendis, Timms, Eltaeb): John Timms’ art is fantastic and stylish, but I just couldn’t find enough to care about in this issue.
DetailsThe Magnificent Ms. Marvel #10
With some stellar art and an intriguing twist at the end, The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #10 (Ahmed, Jung, Vlasco, Herring) manages to prove worthwhile despite mostly acting as a filler to set up what’s coming.
DetailsDr. Doom #3
Dr. Doom #3 (Cartwelll, Larroca) deals with the aftermath of Dr. Doom’s death. Will the world be a happier place or dive into chaos and destroy itself? The answer might surprise you.
DetailsGhost-Spider #4
Ghost-Spider #4 (McGuire, Miyazawa, Kampe, Herring): Gwen may have been stood up by two friends, the Jackal is stalking her, but at least band practice went well!
DetailsThe Amazing Mary Jane #2
The Amazing Mary Jane #2 (Williams, Lopez, Gomez) is an enjoyable story with well-done art, but as Mary Jane’s first miniseries, it feels like it could be Mysterio’s first mini instead.
DetailsGoosebumps: The Horrors of the Witch House
Despite using the correct formula for a successful story, Goosebumps: Horrors of the Witch House (Tipton, Smith, Fenoglio, Pinto, Miesner) falls flat, having none of Stine’s spooky magic.
DetailsDetective comics #1016
Detective Comics #1016 (Tomasi, Mahnke, Kirkam, Baron, Leigh): The art was fantastic and we finally have an ending for one of the most tragic sagas in Batman history, even if it wasn’t what everyone was expecting.
