Force Works 2020 #2
Force Works 2020 #2 (Rosenberg, Ramirez, Di Salvo, Blee) is another great issue in this mini-series that I really want to turn into an ongoing series. Start writing those letters!!

John Constantine: Hellblazer #5
John Constantine: Hellblazer #5 (Spurrier, Bergara, Bellaire) offers stunning storybook-like visuals and writing so raunchy and British that you’d think Spurrier is the magician himself.

Quantum and Woody #3: Super Ghouls & Ghosts
Quantum and Woody #3
Quantum and Woody #3 (Hastings, Browne, Redmond,Otsmane-Elhaou): Quantum and Woody is the golden standard for comedic action comics on the shelf right now. Straight up.

Wonder Woman #754: Sisters in Arms
Exceedingly poor art further hampers an ill-conceived filler issue in Wonder Woman #754 (Orlando, Melnikov, Fajardo Jr). Suitable for completists only; all other comers would do well to save their money and time.

BANG! #2: Yippe Ki-Yay
BANG! #2
BANG! #2 (Kindt, Torres) continues to deliver a non-stop thrill ride through the pulp archetypes of the late 20th century. This series is a must-read for fans of all types.

Batgirl #45: Made of Tougher Stuff
Batgirl #45
Batgirl #45 (Castellucci, Di Giandomenico, Bellaire, Andworld) is a book that just feels like it is a bit too by the numbers to truly succeed. There are some interesting elements, but hopefully everything is able to come together better in the following issues.

Legion of Super-Heroes #5: The Children’s Crusade
Legion of Super-Heroes #5
Legion of Super-Heroes #5 (Bendis, Sook Godlewski, von Grawbadger, Bellaire) finally starts to snap the series’ narrative into focus, as the past and present collide in some particularly intriguing ways.

Transformers Galaxies #6: If That’s What it Takes
Transformers Galaxies #6
Transformers Galaxies #6 (Leth, Edenfield, Milne, Cruz, Wood, Lopez) remind us that these robots all have different personalities, and not only that but some of those personalities are actually really entertaining.

Justice League Dark #21: The Heart of the Rot
Justice League Dark #21
Justice League Dark #21 (V, Tynion IV, Martinez Bueno, Chung, Leigh) is a strong continuation that maintains a fast pace while bringing in unique visuals to push this exciting story forward. Fans of JLD, don’t miss this one.
Details
Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #10 : Hot Summer Drakulon
Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #10
Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #10 (Chu, Sanapo, Mohan) is an effective hot-summer-desert mood issue, but also a slow and storybuilding lacking one. The art really helps get in the mood of Drakulon, and it leaves us hoping for more as we move forward.
Details
Crowded #12: It’s A Dog-Eat-Dog World
Crowded #12
Crowded #12 (Sebela, Stein, Brandt, Farrell, Rae) is a flawlessly executed finale of an exceptional second arc. It’s a mystery where everyone’s favorite queer rom-com near-future thriller is taking us, but it can’t arrive soon enough.

Deadpool #4: Olly Olly Oxen Free, Kraven!
Deadpool #4
Deadpool #4 (Thompson, Bachalo, Faucher, Curiel Sabino) brings plenty of uniquely stylized action, but it’s also focused on an actual emotional goal for Wade Wilson, which is something you just don’t see all that often. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great look for the character.
