Justice League Dark #22
Justice League Dark #22 (V, Tynion IV, Martinez Bueno, Nahuelpan, Fernandez, Chung, Leigh) finds strength in the exploration of humanity, the natural order of chaos and how we can influence it with our own story, getting right to the heart of what this entire series has been about. It’s a can’t miss issue for sure.
DetailsAction 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.
DetailsALPHA FLIGHT #4 (1983)
Alpha Flight #4 (1983), (Byrne, Yanchus), tells a story of science fiction. Marrina’s origin revealed, but is it too late to save her from her captive’s torture? Someone is not thrilled about a secret love affair between two Alpha Flight members!
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.

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.
