Demo, Volume 2 #1

February 4th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

“Demo” returns and it’s like the series was never gone with a story about a woman haunted by a dream where a woman dies.

Detective Comics #861

January 31st, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Jock steps in to draw three issues of "Detective Comics," and Rucka's script matches his new artist perfectly.

Supergirl #49

January 27th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

So that's what "Supergirl" is like when the title is not trapped in crossovers.

Catwoman #83

January 19th, 2010 | By Benjamin Birdie

"Catwoman" suffers from formatting restrictions and uninked rushed-looking art, but still delivers on its premise.

Batman #695

January 19th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Tony Daniel is putting a lot of characters into the mix, but nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

Nation X #2

January 14th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

The second anthology issue that explores life on Utopia is a mixed bag aimed at longtime X-fans rather than the more casual reader.

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder Vol. 1

January 4th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

One of the most infamous books of the past five years, there’s more to this book than many give credit.

Detective Comics #860

December 26th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

This may be the last great issue of "Detective Comics" for a while, but great it is.

Batman #694

December 19th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Tony Daniel makes this issue feel like the middle of an event, and that's not a bad thing.

Nation X #1

December 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Nation X" is another one of the mutant anthology mini-series that Marvel likes so much, but it doesn't quite hit its mark.

Detective Comics #859

November 26th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Pound for pound, the best superhero comic being published right now.

Supergirl #47

November 23rd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

This issue of "Supergirl" isn't really about Supergirl at all, but that said it is still enjoyable.

Detective Comics #858

October 30th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

As though I needed to develop a man-crush on a comic book artist. This issue is crush-inducing, so read at your own risk.

Batman #692

October 29th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

Tony Daniel's first issue as writer/artist of "Batman" is already a step up from "Battle for the Cowl."

World's Finest #1

October 29th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

The DC Universe has frequently embraced the concept of legacy, frequently using old names in new ways to keep a brand alive or to spawn new ideas. "World's Finest" returns from the idea bin with a fresh team-up and a load of fun.

Dark Reign: The List — Wolverine #1

October 28th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Noh-Varr and Fantomex team up to save the World. Oh hell yes.

DCU Halloween Special 2009 #1

October 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

October 19th, 2009 | By James Hunt

“Web of Spider-Man” returns as an anthology title.

Captain America Theater of War: Operation: Ghosts of My Country #1

October 10th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Another "Captain America: Theater of War" story, this one features very little of Captain America himself, and chooses to focus on his spirit and influence.

Detective Comics #857

September 24th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Williams, Stewart, Hamner, McCaig... best looking superhero comic you’re going to find on the shelves.

Wednesday Comics #12

September 23rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Many satisfying conclusions, and a job well done.

Wednesday Comics #11

September 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

The weaker strips in "Wednesday Comics" are still on shaky ground, but the best pages are still worth the price of admission.

DMZ #45

September 15th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

What does a DMZ zone do with a nuclear weapon? Anything they want, of course.

Young Liars #18

September 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

I come not to bury “Young Liars,” but to praise it. . .

Batman #690

September 3rd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

Judd Winick and Mark Bagley's run starts winding down before it really even gets started.

Detective Comics #856

August 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

J. H. Williams III continues his amazing artistic performance on the lead Batwoman story. The Question back-up is completely skippable.

Ex Machina #44

August 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

As "Ex Machina" prepares for its endgame, the answers start coming for anyone who's still around to listen.

DMZ #44

August 14th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

A small-scale story comes to a close with big emotions.

Wednesday Comics #6

August 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Halfway through the 12-week “Wednesday Comics” series and the quality remains high with gorgeous art and ever-improving writing.

Detective Comics #855

July 29th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

J.H. Williams III. Cully Hamner. Best drawn superhero comic book you’re going to see this month. Guaranteed.

Kid Colt #1

July 29th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

This "Kid Colt" one-shot is really a compilation of four eight-page installments, and that original format didn't do this story any favors.

Dark Reign: The Sinister Spider-Man #2

July 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Bachalo's art is the highlight of this otherwise erratic issue.

Wednesday Comics #3

July 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

One third of the stories are great, but just as many are less than spectacular.

Supergirl #43

July 25th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

The latest issue of "Supergirl" makes me happy for the appearance of New Krypton, because it makes stories like this possible.

The Amazing Spider-Man #600

July 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

If you always wanted to see Hydro-Man escape via toilet, then this book is for you. Of course, the fact that this thing clocks in at 100 pages might interest you too. Oh, and Octo-hostages, but no Octo-mom.

Wednesday Comics #1

July 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Wednesday Comics" doesn't just live up to the hype, it actually surpasses it. It really is that cool.

Wednesday Comics #1

July 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Art is king in DC’s new 12-issue weekly series that recalls the Sunday comics pages, using a broadsheet format. 15 pages of gorgeous art on giant pages. Not too shabby.

Batman #688

July 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Dick complains about fighting with a cape and struggles to earn Damian’s respect just like he did in another Bat-book only a week ago. Too bad Frank Quitely couldn’t draw this book, too.

June 29th, 2009 | By James Hunt

Reed and Bachalo pit Venom, the “Dark Spider-Man,” against Spider-Man’s natural enemy: J. Jonah Jameson.

Detective Comics #854

June 25th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

Sometimes, it really is worth the wait.

Marvel continues to celebrate their 70th anniversary with yet another special featuring characters from Marvel's past.

Young Liars #16

June 19th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

An absolute masterpiece of craft and storytelling as David Lapham takes a break from the ongoing narrative to focus on a new character and a different type of issue construction.

Supergirl #42

June 17th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

With Superwoman's identity -- and life -- blown to pieces, this title takes a turn, as a plot for revenge against Supergirl begins to percolate.

Batman #687

June 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

An epilogue to "Battle for the Cowl" might not have been so bad, had "Batman & Robin" #1 not already been released. Instead, it just feels like a step backwards.

Madame Xanadu #11

May 31st, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

Michael Kaluta stops in for a few issues on "Madame Xanadu," and the end result is breathtakingly beautiful.

Supergirl #41

May 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Supergirl" wraps up its first major story under Sterling Gates, with an ending that makes you hope for an epilogue to smooth things over.

Batman: Battle for the Cowl #3

May 22nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Batman: Battle for the Cowl" concludes with an ending that makes you feel a little bad for Tony Daniel, because the deck seems stacked against him.

Young Liars #15

May 14th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Danny tries to get the old gang back together, revealing that maybe not everyone died. Or maybe they did and he’s just crazy. Or maybe they didn’t and he’s still just crazy. Who knows?

Madame Xanadu #10

May 4th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Featuring a star-studded cast of DC Universe mystical superbeings from yesteryear, the first story from Vertigo's "Madame Xanadu" draws to a close.

Detective Comics #853

April 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

The conclusion of "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" is strong, but in a position where it can't possibly live up to expectations.
