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.

Punisher: 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!
