February 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Red Robin – Tim Drake – returns to Gotham City and finds Killer Moth waiting for him as a nice welcome mat.
Red Tornado #6
February 4th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
The most recent attempt to put the spotlight on Red Tornado comes to a close –- a merciful close that left me hoping for more Red Tornado soon. The character deserves better.
Azrael #3
December 21st, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Azrael" is definitely finding its voice, and it's probably not what you'd expect.

J. T. Krul continues his exploration of the Black Lanterns that would rise around Titans Tower.
Adventure Comics #4
November 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
In what is surely to be the strangest "Blackest Night" tie-in, the joke is getting a little old.
Booster Gold #26
November 13th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Booster Gold" uses up all the extra pages this month in a "Blackest Night" tie-in that features a rather apt guest hero as well as undead villain.
Lobo: Highway to Hell #1
November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Sam Keith's art has never looked so weak, and for seven bucks an issue, this story isn't worth your time or money.
DCU Halloween Special 2009 #1
October 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Continuing a DCU tradition, this issue features a bunch of fan favorite characters celebrating the Halloween season. The efforts put forth for the stories contained in this issue -- as well as the results -- are mixed.
Azrael #1
October 26th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The writing in "Azrael" makes me want to read more, but the artist choice isn't right for the script.
Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance #6
October 21st, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Super Young Team battles Rising Sun and Mister Mind in this metafictional, high-action finale.
R.E.B.E.L.S. #9

Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape #6
October 14th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
DC’s most ‘out there’ book this year concludes, offering some answers but not enough.
Adventure Comics #3
October 14th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
It's a shame Geoff Johns and Francis Manapul's run is almost over, because "Adventure Comics" is awfully fun right now.
Teen Titans #75
October 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
DC has decided the seventy-fifth issue of "Teen Titans" needs to be celebrated. Well, sort of. Beast Boy returns to this team, and another former "Teen Titan" also winds up back at the tower.

Eric Trautmann and Marco Rudy turn "The Shield" into a modern war comic with surprising success.

Tim Drake thinks Bruce Wayne is alive. Dick Grayson disagrees. That means they must fight and the victor determines Bruce’s state of existence.
Solomon Grundy #7
September 3rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Kolins's textured art is a treat, but the "story" -- concluding here, sort of, after a stretched-out seven issues -- is non-existent.
Batman: Streets of Gotham #3
August 20th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Batman: Streets of Gotham" still doesn't feel as off-beat and different as advertised, but it's proving to be entertaining.
Superman: Secret Files 2009
August 16th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Codename: Patriot" has begun over in the Superbooks. This is a pricey way to get caught up to speed, but for the most part, it is very informative.

August 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Geoff Johns, Francis Manapul, and Clayton Henry successfully show that both Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes have a place in today's comic market.
Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance #3
July 22nd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
It’s convention season in the DCU as the Super Young Team attend one devoted to them! Expect big crowds, long lines, overpriced foods, and a supervillain attack. Just like San Diego.

Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps #1
July 15th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps" tackles two familiar Lanterns and one new addition, but these origin stories don't quite spark enough interest.
Batman Confidential #31
July 5th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Batman Confidential" begins to introduce a monstrous Russian bear, but this story is slow-moving if beautiful.
Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance #2
June 20th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Fill-in artists already? That doesn't bode well for this miniseries.
Batman: Streets of Gotham #1
June 17th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
In its debut, "Batman: Streets of Gotham" seems less the street-level version of a Batman title that we were promised, and more like an extension of Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen's run on "Detective Comics." Now with added Manhunter
Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape #2
June 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Experimental, trippy, obtuse, and quite possibly brilliant, “Escape” continues with Nemesis no closer to answers concerning his stay in Electric City.
Booster Gold #21
June 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The subfeat – er, uh, the "Second Features" start here, with the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle sharing staples with the man who helped him get started, Booster Gold. Booster, however, is a little busy confronting the cowl.
Red Robin #1
June 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Red Robin" is off to an uneven start right out of the gate, but there's certainly potential in its destination.
Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance #1
May 20th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Why bother with superheroics when you can dress up, look cool, get drunk, and dance? Right? Then why is the Super Young Team so unhappy with that lifestyle and why can’t they leave their new satellite headquarters?
Booster Gold #20
May 17th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Booster Gold" seems determined to shed more sales figures with a dull and slightly pointless fill-in.

May 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Ivan Brandon and Marco Rudy present a haunting wonderland for Nemesis.
Teen Titans #70
May 5th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Vigilante #5
April 28th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The second installment of the "Deathtrap" storyline plays its way through the latest issue of "Vigilante," featuring a creative team that is a throwback to 1988.
Outsiders #17
April 28th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Peter J. Tomasi's reinvigoration of "Outsiders" continues on behind the dynamic duo cover treatment, this one featuring Geo-Force and Black Lightning.
Secret Six #8
April 15th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
"Secret Six" slows down for an issue to show us some characters at work, but mostly play.
Booster Gold #19
April 13th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The cover says it all. This issue features 100% more Booster Gold -- without having to add any pages! Also, this issue features the return of Rip Hunter's chalkboard!

The Outsiders #16
March 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The latest incarnation of "The Outsiders" begins to pick up the action, and it's a not bad if slightly slow debut.
Azrael: Death's Dark Knight #1
March 22nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Fabian Nicieza and Frazer Irving introduce a new Azrael, and the result brings back good memories of the previous incarnation of the character.
Black Lightning: Year One #6
March 19th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Black Lightning: Year One" ends, just as you knew it would with this sixth (of six) issues. Van Meter and Hamner deliver a solid conclusion.

March 15th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Dan Jurgens's first storyline comes to a conclusion and shows promise for more to come.
Solomon Grundy #1
March 8th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Solomon Grundy" is born on Monday, but his comic was released this Wednesday and reviewed on Sunday.
Teen Titans #68
February 26th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Teen Titans" seems to ignore the past two issues in order to provide a curiously upbeat story... set in Hell.
Robin #183
February 18th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
This may be the final issue of “Robin,” but Tim Drake is still kicking butt and taking names, and protecting Gotham until someone takes over as the new Batman.
Nightwing #153
February 12th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Last Rites" winds down and so does this title. The final issue of "Nightwing" attempts to tie a bow on the adventures of the former Boy Wonder.
Blue Beetle #35
February 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The penultimate chapter in the adventures of Jaime Reyes finds the "Blue Beetle" once more balancing legacy, family and friends. While this might be the second-to-last issue of this title, it's not too late to join the fun.
Hellblazer #251
January 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Peter Milligan's first issue of "Hellblazer" starts off slow, but there's potential for what's to come.
Justice League of America #29
January 21st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Len Wein returns to the JLA after a long absence in a story that's mostly worthwhile for its novelty value.
