Batgirl #44
Batgirl #44 (Castellucci, Tormey, Sotomayer, Andworld Design) might be filled with beautifully illustrated epic high-fantasy dragons and magical swords, but it is a story about the fears of love through and through, taking readers on an emotional roller coaster that ends with a dramatic twist that no one will see coming.
DetailsIn its ninth issue, Angel is given a shiny new coat of paint as it morphs into Angel & Spike (Hill, Melnikov, Titov), but there are still so many underdeveloped characters and narratives here that it’s going to take a lot more than a couple of new characters to save this sinking ship.
DetailsBloodshot #1
Join Comic Watch this Sunday morning as we look back at Bloodshot #1 ( Sweirczynski, Garcia, Lozzi, Gaudiano, Hannin, Steen), a truly remarkable issue that helped inspire the exciting new Bloodshot live-action film!
DetailsSupergirl
The 100th special episode enriches from the best comic books, both relying on its established mythos and creating engaging narratives for new viewers.

DetailsPunisher: Soviet Part 4 – A Girl With a Heart as Big as the Sky
Punisher: Soviet #4 (Ennis, Burrows, Ortego, Woodard) is a pretty downbeat affair, with huge swaths of exposition buttressed by compulsory action sequences. The art is flat and the writing seems to just be going through the motions. Everyone involved is better than this!
DetailsPeter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham #3
Peter Porker, Spider-Ham #3 (Wells, Robson, Arciniega) gives us a great example of why “funny animal books” were such a big part of early comic book history.
DetailsRed Sonja #14
My only gripe about this comic is that it ended and I cant wait to add Red Sonja #14 (Russell, Q, Kelly, Otsmane-Elhaou) to my collection!
DetailsJustice League #42
Justice League #42 (Venditti, Lopresti) are producing a consistently classic Justice League story that is fun but feels like it lacks depth.

DetailsThe Amazing Mary Jane #5
The Amazing Mary Jane #5 (Williams, Gomez, & Lopez) finds its biggest strength in its difference from general Marvel fare. But when it turns towards action, the charm starts to fade.
