Justice League of America #41
January 31st, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
James Robinson's "Justice League of America" starts building its new team, finally.
Green Lantern #50
January 28th, 2010 | By Benjamin Birdie
Industry veteran Doug Mahnke fills the role of artistic clean-up batter, and "Green Lantern" #50 is his grand slam.
Superman/Batman #68
January 21st, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
Remember that one-off issue Joe Casey wrote in October that was followed by three unrelated issues? Yeah, this one picks up from there and also ties into “Our Worlds at War.” Eight years later? What?
The Power of SHAZAM! #48
January 14th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Cover dated eleven years after "The Power of SHAZAM!" #47, and priced a mere 49¢ more than "The Power of SHAZAM!" #47, "Power of SHAZAM!" comes back among the rest of the Black Lantern titles rising from the ranks of the can
Action Comics #885
January 14th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
"Action Comics" continues to be a 100% Superman-free read for all those comic book fans with Superman allergies. All the same, the title does live up to its name with this issue, in both the main story and the backup.
Jonah Hex #51
January 12th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A pleasant issue that leaves a good impression after reading.
The Mighty #12
January 11th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
The series reaches its conclusion with a final battle and forward-looking ending.
Justice Society of America #34
December 26th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Bill Willingham's first solo issue of "Justice Society of America" reminds me a lot of the old Geoff Johns "JSA." That's a good thing.
Green Lantern #49
December 26th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Ed Benes comes in as John Stewart goes all military on a bunch of Black Lanterns. Unfortunately, it's the worst issue of the series so far.
The Brave and the Bold #30
December 19th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Straczynski is living out the dreams of many a fanboy in his time on "B&B," as he connects random characters. Saiz takes it from there and the duo delivers a book that is consistently enjoyable.
The Authority: The Lost Year #4
December 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A few fantastic pages at the end can’t make up for the boring issue that precedes it, as this is a textbook example of going through the motions storytelling.
Action Comics #884
December 13th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Lois Lane steals the show here; unfortunately, the stars are actually Nightwing, Flamebird, and Captain Atom
Jonah Hex #50
December 5th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Darwyn Cooke returns with a new style for this oversized tale of triumph and (mostly) tragedy.
Justice League of America #39
November 26th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Paco Ramone of Earth. Rise." More haunting words have not been set forth in any segment of "Blackest Night" to this point.
Green Lantern #48
November 25th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Larfleeze and Atrocitus share a delicate moment, and Sinestro bears his feelings to Hal Jordan. This issue also contains a few other Lanterns and some promises made under duress.
The Brave and the Bold #29
November 22nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Feel like reading a comic where the only point is telling you how much better life was four decades ago? Yeah, me neither.
The Authority: The Lost Year #3
November 22nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A mediocre, average comic book that must compete with a never completed comic that had the potential to be great. The comparison is not kind.
Flash: Rebirth #5
November 19th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
While the story's a bit slowly paced for a tale about the Flash, this issue reveals something hugely significant.
The Mighty #10
November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The secret origin of Alpha One revealed. Spoiler: His evil is nothing new, and this comic is very good.
Green Lantern #47
October 28th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The main tie-in book to "Blackest Night" continues to entertain on multiple levels.
Superman/Batman #65
October 26th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Peter Johnson and Matt Cherniss write "Superman/Batman" with an overly-familiar story, but the art here is lovely.
Justice League of America #38
October 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
James Robinson and Mark Bagley begin their much anticipated run on "Justice League of America" in this issue, which also straightens out some timing concerns fans may have had about the books that are currently hitting the shelves every month.
Green Lantern #46
October 3rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
"Blackest Night" leads to some "Uneasy Alliances," indeed. And Mahnke's the right man to draw that type of thing.
Justice League of America #37
September 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
This issue is the last issue before the much-anticipated creative team of James Robinson and Mark Bagley climb aboard, but that's not the entire story. The JLA (sort of) appears here too.
Superman/Batman #64
September 24th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A prelude to an unannounced story that won’t happen until January at least (if then)? A clichéd, boring story at that! Don’t get this comic.
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.
Green Lantern #45
September 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Blackest Night" sweeps across the galaxy in an issue of "Green Lantern" that doesn't feature Hal Jordan, yet is still chock full of action and excitement.
Justice Society of America #30
August 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
It feels like the new "Justice Society of America" creative team is still finding its footing, here, although there are a couple of amusing moments.
Action Comics #880
August 17th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Codename: Patriot" brings the battle to Earth. One small problem: Earth has this thing against New Krypton. Captain Atom also takes a step forward in this issue.
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.
The Mighty #7
August 6th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
This is becoming more and more of a horror comic, and it's quite good.
Justice League of America #35
July 30th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The Royal Flush Gang attack Las Vegas and the Justice League arrive to thwart them. Well, at least some of the Justice League.
Justice Society of America #29
July 29th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
A new era begins for the Justice Society of America -- New members! New threats! New creative team! New review!
Wednesday Comics #3
July 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
One third of the stories are great, but just as many are less than spectacular.
Action Comics #879
July 19th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Captain Atom joins the ranks of the second features in this issue featuring another installment about the Kryptonian sleeper agents.
North 40 #1
July 14th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Avoiding overly decompressed stories is an admirable goal, but Aaron Williams and Fiona Staples seem to go too far the other direction in "North 40."
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.
Green Lantern #43
July 8th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Billed as a Prologue to "Blackest Night," this issue welcomes Doug Mahnke to the Green Lantern corner of the DC Universe, just in time for a world of creepiness.
The Mighty #6
July 6th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
I was worried "The Mighty" might lose steam with the loss of Peter Snejbjerg, but it's just as, um, mighty as ever.
Jonah Hex #45
July 2nd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A kind of Crisis on Infinite Westerns has entered stage two in this issue.
Justice League of America #34
June 25th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Dwayne McDuffie's run ends more with a whimper than a bang. Sure, there's a bang or two in this issue, but the overall package is spoiled by the events that led to this point.
Green Lantern #42
June 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
War is about to break out among the different colors of Lanterns. You'd almost think there was a big crossover storyline just around the bend. Oh, hang on...
Superman/Batman #61
June 22nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
In many ways this is a throw-away story in "Superman/Batman," but it's so fun and so gorgeous that you'll find yourself enthralled none the less.
The Brave and the Bold #24
June 19th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The Milestone characters begin a run on "The Brave and the Bold" as co-stars. First up is Static, so why not pair him with Black Lightning?
Flash: Rebirth #3
June 11th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Geoff Johns's Flash sci-fi epic feels a bit out of step, but the ambition is impressive
Justice Society of America #27
May 28th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Jerry Ordway brings Bob Wiacek with him for an adventure featuring characters Ordway drew once, and others he can only claim as being inspiration for.
Superman/Batman #60
May 22nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Yet another universal mash-up occurs in this title, except that's the title of the issue. This one takes the Titans and the Justice League and offers some interesting new characters and concepts.
The Brave and the Bold #23
May 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Two characters from disparate futures meet up in what should be an epic for the ages. Unfortunately, it has a little After School Special flavor baked into it.
