Scalped #34
February 5th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
“The Gnawing” concludes with a lot of bloodshed and tremendous work by Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra.
Superman: World of New Krypton #12
February 3rd, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
At the end of the day, the thing I liked the most about "Superman: World of New Krypton" may surprise you.
Justice League: Cry for Justice #6
January 27th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
After the tizzy created by last issue's dismemberment, this issue promises to be quite the treat for those readers that have been anxiously awaiting the big reveal.
Green Lantern Corps #44
January 21st, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Guy Gardner continues his red ring-powered rampage, delivering his own unmitigated brand of justice to everyone in his path. There are some other lanterns in here too.
Phantom Stranger #42
January 20th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
". . . the Stranger comes when the Stranger is needed." Evidently the Stranger is needed to advance a subplot of "Blackest Night."
Adventure Comics #6
January 18th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
Even as an oversized issue, "Adventure Comics" #6 feels a little rushed.
Superman: World of New Krypton #11
January 9th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
This overwrought series has dragged on far too long, and we don't even get Pete Woods drawings on every page anymore.
Green Lantern Corps #43
December 17th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
To celebrate Christmas, Guy Gardner puts on a red ring, so he can decorate Oa in green and red. Or maybe this has something to do with "Blackest Night."
Adventure Comics #5
December 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A good series goes off the rails here, as Superboy Prime invades the DC offices, literally.
Superman: World of New Krypton #10
December 7th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
What happens when a stagnant society refuses to change?
Justice League: Cry for Justice #5
November 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Another campy issue played as straight as can be, and infectiously fun even in its gruesomeness.
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.
Green Lantern Corps #42
November 15th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The sound and the fury have started to become tedious, and a major plot event suffers because of it.
R.E.B.E.L.S. #11
November 15th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Andy Clarke is one of the best artists working in superhero comics today. And while this isn't a great series, it's better than you might expect.
The Great Ten #1
November 4th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Finally, the Great Ten get their own book as this first issue spotlights Accomplished Perfect Physician and China’s internal problems.
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.
Superman: Blackest Night #3
October 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
This sidebar of the "Blackest Night" saga wraps with the heroes being heroic and evil slinking off into the shadows. Of course it also points back to the main "Blackest Night" title.
Scalped #32
October 17th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A quick-moving issue as things somehow continue to get worse for both Red Crow and Dash Bad Horse.
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.
Green Lantern Corps #41
October 14th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
As things get worse for the Green Lantern Corps, this title just keeps getting better. Most of the fan favorite GLs have a chance to shine in this issue.
Superman: World of New Krypton #8
October 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Superman's two regular titles might be lackluster these days, but "World of New Krypton" is where it's at.
Justice League: Cry for Justice #4
October 9th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Cry for Justice" continues on, with less crying, but the same amount of unnecessary torture, infighting, and grumpiness. Jay Garrick and the Shade appear to make things a little more interesting.
Superman: Blackest Night #2
September 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Superman and Superboy keep trying to punch Black Lantern Earth-2 Superman into submission, but punching doesn't work so well against the Black Lanterns. The Earth-2 Superman is not the only Black Lantern they have to worry about, either.
Wednesday Comics #12
September 23rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Many satisfying conclusions, and a job well done.
Superman: Secret Origin #1
September 23rd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Geoff Johns and Gary Frank offer a fresh new take on an old story. What's that? You've seen fresh new takes on Superman before? Well, this one is also a good read too.
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 Corps #40
September 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
This issue of "Green Lantern Corps" might be a bit confusing for new readers, but there are rewards for those who've been around before now.
Justice League: Cry for Justice #3
September 3rd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Justice League: Cry for Justice" is improving slightly, but it's still got a long way to go.
Scalped #31
August 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Oh yes, Dash Bad Horse is in for some fun, and it's not the kind of "fun" that's actually much fun at all. (For him.)
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.
Blackest Night: Superman #1
August 19th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Blackest Night: Superman" goes exactly where you'd expect, only at half the speed.
Green Lantern Corps #39
August 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
This is a heap of intergalactic madness, and it's quite a good complement to "Blackest Night."
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.
Adventure Comics #1
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.
Superman: World of New Krypton #6
August 8th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The S-shield numbering flips here, starting with a new #1, and changing to a red background. Appropriate considering "Codename: Patriot" involves a bit of military posturing.
Justice League: Cry for Justice #2
August 5th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Not as laughably quotable as the first issue, this campy comic goes for the high drama and almost succeeds in its own way.
Wednesday Comics #3
July 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
One third of the stories are great, but just as many are less than spectacular.
Gotham City Sirens #2
July 23rd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn want to know Batman’s identity and they’ll do anything to get Catwoman to tell them.
Scalped #30
July 17th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
"The Gnawing" begins, and things fall apart in another excellent installment of Vertigo's best ongoing series.
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.
R.E.B.E.L.S. #6
July 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"R.E.B.E.L.S." continues to be a wildly entertaining space opera that showcases Tony Bedard's skills as a writer.
Superman: World of New Krypton #5
July 11th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Courtroom Kryptonian drama and a surprise ending from Robinson, Rucka, and Woods. But it's not enough.
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 Corps #38
July 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The "Emerald Eclipse" storyline concludes, but this issue doesn't serve to simply mark time nor does it sit as a transition issue. This is an issue for Lantern fans -- new and old -- to start taking the journey into "Blackest Night&quo
Justice League: Cry for Justice #1
July 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The long wait for the James Robinson-penned Justice League title is over! Wait. This is the first James Robinson Justice League title. The one that got him the gig to write the other one.
Gotham City Sirens #1
June 25th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Gotham City Sirens" seems like a good idea, but the series needs a backbone, and fast.
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
Batman in Barcelona: Dragon's Knight #1
May 28th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Batman's European adventure pits him against Killer Croc.
Vigilante #6
May 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Thank whichever deity you worship that this lame crossover event is finally over. What's more, the true resolution happens off panel. Save your money and read the review.
