Batman/Superman #1 // Review
While Batman/Superman may be essential reading for those following the metastory of the DC Universe, it has some work to do to justify its own existence.
Dial H for HERO #6 // Review
Dial H for HERO remains one of the most consistently entertaining titles DC has on the stands today.
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #2 // Review
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #2 is an ambitious comic, and its ambition pays off.

Grant Morrison and Giuseppe Camuncoli work together and deliver an excellent detour
Batman: Last Knight on Earth #2 // Review
Batman: Last Knight on Earth #2 is a great issue of comics, and is the crown jewel of DC’s meager offerings on this fifth week at the end of July. Highly recommended
Batgirl #37 // Review
Castellucci and DiGiandomenico handle the transition from the previous creative team quite deftly.
Batman Beyond #34 // Review
Jurgens keeps the action going in an issue the narrowly avoids living-up to the potential of the story.
Martian Manhunter #7 // Review
The messy grittiness of a police assault on a rural human trafficking outpost feels weird and stringy.
