Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3 (of 4): Say Hi To the Bad Guy
Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3
All things taken equally, Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3 (Tynion IV, Epting, Fernandez, Filardi) isn’t a bad comic per se.

The Flash #750: A Hero for All Ages
Though not quite the profound statement it wants to be on all things Flash (though it comes close!), issue 750 (Williamson, Sandoval, Segovia, & so many more) of this legendary title is still a wonderful testament to the staying power of its titular hero, his legacy, and what the future holds.
