Red Robin #9

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.

The Question #37

February 4th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

A clever and smart “Blackest Night” tie-in that can’t help but fall prey to the formula of the event.

Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #3

February 4th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Blackest Night: Wonder Woman" #3 begins the wrap up of the "Blackest Night" tie-in miniseries. In other words, this is more "expanded story" than you'd get on the newly deputized Star Sapphire – Wonder Woman.

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.

Doom Patrol #7

February 3rd, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Keith Giffen keeps throwing ideas at the wall, but I'm not sure any of them are going to stick.

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.

Batman and Robin #7

February 1st, 2010 | By Benjamin Birdie

Morrison's Batman title has a good structure, interesting characters, and great pop art.

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.

Justice League of America #41

January 31st, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

James Robinson's "Justice League of America" starts building its new team, finally.

Superman #696

January 30th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Not an awful lot happens in "Superman" this month, but it's still entertaining; doubly so with some great art.

Superman: Secret Origin #4

January 30th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

In what might by Gary Frank's best-looking Superman comic yet, we get new origin for the Parasite and more.

The Atom and Hawkman #46

January 28th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Blackest Night" has resurrected another title from the cancellation pile. This issue is about as close to "Blackest Night" #6 1/2 as we're going to get and it leads straight into February's "Blackest Night" #7.

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.

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.

Supergirl #49

January 27th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

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

Blackest Night: The Flash #2

January 26th, 2010 | By Benjamin Birdie

Kollins' art is superb, Johns' story goes beyond the formula for a very good "Flash" tie-in to "Blackest Night."

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?

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.

Outsiders #26

January 21st, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

A new era for the book begins with a series of missteps and puzzling decisions. Oh, and Philip Tan already needs help from another artist. Not good signs.

Starman #81

January 21st, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

A worthy epilogue to the legendary Robinson "Starman" run.

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."

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.

Secret Six #17

January 18th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

The Secret Six squaring off against the Suicide Squad during Blackest Night seems so natural, it's almost creepy.

Adventure Comics #6

January 18th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Even as an oversized issue, "Adventure Comics" #6 feels a little rushed.

R.E.B.E.L.S. #12

January 17th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

Borges is an inadequate replacement for either Clarke or St. Aubin, but the story has some interesting moments.

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.

Titans #21

January 13th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Titans" proceeds apace, marking time between one big event and the next. In this issue, J.T. Krul gives some more insight into the slow motion splintering of one of DC's oldest teams.

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.

Weird Western Tales #71

January 11th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

Surprisingly, one of the better "Blackest Night" crossovers -- this one embraces its own crassness.

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.

The Great Ten #3

January 8th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

If you ever wanted to see a Chinese Superman in virtually every detail, this is the comic for you.

Doom Patrol #6

January 8th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

Following the "Blackest Night" issues is no easy task, so Giffen, Clark, and crew decide to reflect on what was. This isn't your standard navel-gazing though. It's navel-gazing, "Doom Patrol" style.

Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #2

January 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

So what exactly happened to Mera's nose during her fight with Wonder Woman in "Blackest Night" #6? The answer, my friends, is right here.

Suicide Squad #67

January 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Suicide Squad" of Earth. Rise. This title is just one of many coming back from the dead this month as part of the grander "Blackest Night" tale.

Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds

January 4th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

Any fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes, George Pérez, Geoff Johns, or even Superboy Prime (you may have problems if you fall into that category) will want to look into this book.

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.

Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore

December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Dennis O'Neil and Curt Swan famously de-power Superman in some classic comics from the Bronze Age.

Showcase Presents: Ambush Bug Vol. 1

December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

A great value for some great comics. Plus, Ambush Bug is kind of hilarious.

Blackest Night #6

December 30th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

"Blackest Night" breaks the silence of the "skip week" in full color brilliance as the Black Lanterns set their sights on Earth.

Blackest Night #6

December 30th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Blackest Night" #6 in some ways feels like a fan game come to life, but in a fun and entertaining way.

The Absolute V for Vendetta

December 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Moore's wake up call has aged well, but it's not a great fit for the Absolute format.

Wonder Woman #39

December 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

The "Warkiller" storyline ends here, as one god plays out his hand and another reveals that he has more than a few tricks left up his sleeve. Poor Diana.

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.

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.

Blackest Night: JSA #1

December 23rd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

: "Blackest Night: JSA" continues to expand the saga of "Blackest Night" throughout the DC Universe. This series makes way too much sense, given how many potential Black Lanterns are in some way connected to the JSA.

Azrael #3

December 21st, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Azrael" is definitely finding its voice, and it's probably not what you'd expect.
