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.
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.
JSA vs. Kobra #6
November 14th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The chess match between Kobra and the JSA comes to close in this issue, but their interwoven story doesn't end here.
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.
Batman and Robin #6
November 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
A slightly disappointing issue of "Batman and Robin," but even here there still glimmers of excellence.
Batman/Doc Savage Special #1
November 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A typical team-up special that follows the format to a tee, which is disappointing from a writer of Brian Azzarello’s skill.
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.
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.
Doom Patrol #4
November 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doom Patrol" has its least amount of gloom yet. . . just in time for "Blackest Night." No, that wasn't a joke.
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.
The Last Days of Animal Man #6
November 1st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Buddy Baker's crimefighting career ends in this issue. Of course, this story is set in the not-so-distant future.
Ambush Bug: Year None #7
October 31st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Issue #7 in this 6-part series is a disjointed disappointment.
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.
Blackest Night: Titans #3
October 29th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Blackest Night: Titans" ends here with a revelation of how to attack the Black Lanterns and a resolution that promises to bring many of these Titans to the main action.
Green Lantern #47
October 28th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The main tie-in book to "Blackest Night" continues to entertain on multiple levels.
Blackest Night #4
October 28th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A largely inconsequential issue unless you like boring speeches about being a hero and watching Barry Allen run around.
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/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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Blackest Night: Batman #3
October 19th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Of all the spin-off "Blackest Night" mini-series so far, it's Batman that turns out to have the winner.
Booster Gold #25
October 17th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Booster shares a moment with Batman and Blue Beetle tries to keep Black Beetle from sharing anything -- including air!
R.E.B.E.L.S. #9
October 15th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
R.E.B.E.L.S. continues to feature the adventures of Vril Dox and his crew as they attempt to thwart the machinations of Starro the Conqueror. In this issue, Adam Strange and Captain Comet join the fray.
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.
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.
Doom Patrol #3
October 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
BOTH stories are worth reading 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.
R.E.B.E.L.S. Annual: Starro the Conqueror #1
October 9th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
When Grant Morrison wrote "JLA," Starro was one of the first characters he pitched across his League. In doing so, Morrison elevated the character of Starro. Bedard builds upon that elevation and delivers a great read.
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.
Strange Adventures #8
October 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The series you forgot existed ends in a way that is rather forgettable.
Blackest Night: Titans #2
October 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Blackest Night: Titans" is rapidly proving to be every negative pre-impression that you heard about the "Blackest Night" crossover.
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.
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.
Wonder Woman #36
September 30th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
A warrior without a country, Wonder Woman's path takes her back into conflict with Achilles. This issue also features a breakup, an uneasy alliance, and the start of a new storyline.
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: 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.
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.
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.
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.
The Brave and the Bold #27
September 20th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
Almost a year ago, it was confirmed that J. Michael Straczynski would be the regular writer of "The Brave and the Bold". For his first issue, he goes back to the tried and true team-up formula of "Batman and . . ."
Batman and Robin #4
September 19th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
The bombastic artwork by Philip Tan detracts from the story, but this series continues to be an odd and wonderful look at the new caped crusader.
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.
