Action Comics #1022
Action Comics #1022 (Bendis, Romita Jr., Miki, Anderson) continues to show how well Bendis and Romita Jr. work together. The dust is still settling since the previous issue, but a strange family reunion leaves Superman with more questions than answers.
DetailsBlack Lightning
As with many superhero shows, “Black Lightning” starts off a little weak and uninspired, but it quickly picks itself up and sets itself apart. It is helped both by a strong metaplot building up over the years and a cast that feels both intense yet very real.
DetailsAquaman #59 (DeConnick, Rocha, Henriques) shifts and spins its narrative deftly, keeping readers off-balance as to who is responsible for Andy’s kidnapping. Don’t ask questions, just check out the best Aquaman run in years ASAP!
DetailsMYTHOS: X-Men #1
There is no getting around it, Mythos: X-Men #1 (Jenkins, Rivera, Caramagna) is frustratingly subpar. There just isn’t much to be gained aside from some enjoyable visuals that can’t be better substantiated by going back to the 1963 classic #1 issue this story is based on.
DetailsGreen Lantern Season Two #3
Green Lantern Season Two #3 (Morrison, Sharp, Orzechowski) continues the fun and adventurous one-and-done storytelling of the series so far, but Morrison’s script is brought down by so-so art by Liam Sharp, who handles art and colors this issue.

Warren Ellis and Tom Raney’s Change or Die gave us versions of the tropes who could change the world.
DetailsAvengers #33 (Aaron, Garron, Keith) pits Moon Knight against the Avengers… and prevailing?! Leaps of logic aside, this issue is a surprising amount of fun, setting the stage for a big mystery by baiting the narrative hook so well. This is a great place for readers to jump on if they haven’t already!
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #5
Swamp Thing: New Roots #5 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is the story of Swampy attempting to save what he feels to be his own children, and in that emotional crisis we find all of the heart, relevance and depth needed to tell an enjoyably comprehensive story.

Details4 Kids Walk into a Bank
4 Kids Walk into a Bank (Rosenberg, Boss, Mauer) is an incredibly charming tale that steals from everything and makes no bones about it. It is an instant classic well worth your time and money.
DetailsReady Player One
This story works on paper—a nostalgia fueled, quest driven coming-of-age story, complete with romance and social commentary—so maybe it should have stayed there.
