Batman: Last Knight on Earth is a complex narrative that transcends your standard Batman story. Buckle up for the gospel of Batman.

Batman: Last Knight on Earth continues to be a bold new take on a classic character that embraces an important take when discussing the future of Batman stories.

A great collection of stories that has flaws just like the central character. I recommend any Batman fan read this to get some great perspectives of the character in five great stories.

Black Stars Above is a comic that explores humanity in the face of the unknown, and how we confront the cosmic mysteries all around us. It uses an epistolary narrative framework to explore the vast and uncultivated environment of 19th century Canada through the lenses of horror, historical fiction, and mystery while revealing the impact nature can have on people very different from ourselves.

Black Stars Above #2 is a suspenseful, exciting, and terrifying trek through the limits that explores the human condition and the limits of sanity. Nadler, Cha, Simpsion and Otsmane-Elhaou are bringing something new to the current state of horror comics.

Ultimately, it comes back to providence and the notion of Amor fati.  Do we simply accept the plans that the divine have for us?  Do we love them equally, good or bad, as though they are inevitable, or do we shatter them and defy providence?  That is where the journeys of Arthur Tanner and Eulalie differ, and that is the quandary of Black Stars Above #3.

British Ice is a fascinating debut from Owen D. Pomery, that exemplifies that places have character through simple, elegant, and economic design work and storytelling.

While a little scattered and awkward at times, Russell crafts a masterful story that has something for everyone.

This is a really fun read and a nice way to take a break from some of the heavier comics with your favorite villains.

Overall, it is a solid collection of mostly great stories written by a great selection of writers and drawn by a great selection of artists. It gets bogged down a bit in the middle, but I would recommend it overall.

Dial H for Hero is an exciting and energetic return for a beloved DC property. It brings the most original character in comics history into the future while paying homage to the past.

Dial H for Hero is Miguel's grounded and authentic journey through the absurd yet heroic world of super powers. Quinones continues to shine while showing off his epic versatility through numerous different art styles.

We may think we know how much to expect from a 20-page comic book, but Humphries, Quinones, Gibson, Sharpe, and Deyn are here to shatter those expectations with a book that is filled to the brim with humor, character, style, and intrigue.

With Downfall, Asano examines the purpose of the artist as a creator and a person as Fukazawa struggles to find inspiration for a passion that may no longer exist for him.

Electric Warriors #5 initiates an epic conclusion between the Electric Warriors and Lord Preceptor that leaves the fate of the Intergalactic Compromise in question.

Event Leviathan #1 is a visually spectacular book with a lot of potential, but it ultimately falls flat in its attempt to draw you in for the large event or satisfy any doubts or questions you may be having.

A solid continuation filled with frustratingly little information,Event Leviathan #2 remains an issue where you come for the spy drama but stay for Alex Maleev's beautiful art.

With no real, substantive discussion about leads in Event Leviathan #3, the DC Universe's clandestine organizations, or any actual feelings regarding what is going on, Event Leviathan'smystery is beginning to grow stale. Luckily, Alex Maleev is still here to save the day.

Ghost tree promises to be a meaningful miniseries by establishing a small world and cast of characters that can't help but feel familiar. Sit back, open the issue, and prepare for a thoughtful story that encourages reflection.

Curnow, Gane, Herring, Kinzie, and Mowry continue to use heavy themes deliver an important message about appreciating the world around us.

Ghost Tree continues to excel as a meaningful and thought-provoking comic with every issue.

Ghost Tree intelligent, important and powerful, and will spark all kinds of emotions from deep within your core. It's a true collaborative effort from Curnow, Gane, Herring, Kinzie, and Mowry that is nothing short of brilliant.

A fantastic issue that is somehow able to balance a grand scale heist story with a close-up police procedural. There are also plenty of great additions to the DC cosmic universe in both the writing and the art.

The Green Lantern #4 brings the spaghetti western to comics in a spectacular cosmic fashion that defines the true meaning of the words Intergalactic Lawman.

Its a great issue and a great introduction to the final arc of Venditti's run. I can't wait to see how this epic battle ends!

A wild ride filled with smooth talking, shady deals, careful planning, and imminent danger.

High Level #1is a natural evolution to dystopian sci-fi that existentially ponders the limits of human existence and the balance of practicality versus philosophy.

High Level #2 continues to craft a captivating journey through a cyberpunk future that tests the strength of willpower and faith.

VerdictHigh Level is a look about how various types of people would adapt to an apocalypse-style future in ways that are humanizing even in the face of the grotesque.

High Level #6 is a somewhat muddled and fascinating ending to a story with a lot of promise. Hopefully we get another chapter to resolve the hanging threads.

Ice Cream Man #11 is gripping and enticing as we follow Will through the reality TV house of horrors and learn a little more about the ice cream man's dark layer sometimes called "The Sweet Place."  The full and complete use of every element of each page keeps readers at a slow pace to make sure they feel every funny, frightening, and uncomfortable moment in the issue. 

Ice Cream Man #12 brings a powerful conclusion to a fantastic arc full of genre manipulation and truths that cut deep.

Through a masterful and unique use of structure and the comic book medium, Prince, Morazzo, O'Halloran, and Good Old Neon tell a reflective story that proves they know the medium inside and out.

I have never been more excited to review a series, and reading this first issue only builds my anticipation. I hope Tynion makes sure that Justice League Dark stays this well-written for a long time.

For anyone that like a little scare in their comics, I fully recommend this read. Once it gets over the hump of exposition, we might be in for a golden age ofJustice League Dark.

Tynion is doing amazing things with the magical DC Universe and the horror comic genre. This series is my favorite thing DC is putting out right now and I can't wait to see how it continues.

Tynion to a step inward from expanding the magical mythology of the DCU in order to focus on character, and it really paid off.

Justice League Dark continues to present itself as a beautiful, well-thought out exploration of the magical DC Universe, this time with a lot more characterization and heart along with it. Each issue has something new and always leaves me wanting more.

One of the scariest and most entertaining issues yet,Justice League Dark #7 is a great take on the classic horror comic that could serve to be a little less wordy.

Justice League Dark continues to be a terrific, horrific, and underrated series that more need to appreciate.

Its difficult to discern whetherJustice League Darkis redefining magic within its pages or whether this creative team's transformative ideas are magically writing the comic for them.

Justice League Dark continues to be a beautiful tale of magic and struggle as all hope seems lost within the magical community of the DC Universe.

Justice League #11 is a brilliant chapter in an arc wrought with destruction at the hands of the Lords of Order. This creative team does an astounding job of always providing enough magic to amaze while always keeping us wanting more.

Justice League Dark #12closes its giant battle between order and chaos with high-octane action sequences, raw power, and a core belief in humanity, proving that the Justice League Dark do have what it takes to go up against the Otherkind.

Justice League Dark #13is a satisfying bridge and wrap-up from a fantastic arc while laying the groundwork for what is to come.

The Witching War begins with an exciting issue reminding you of why you love this team, even if it does have a few flaws.

A fantastic conclusion to an event that seemed to do everything right. If you like horror, magic, fantasy, over the top battles between god-like figures, or strong character and world building, I recommend this book to all of you.

A fantastic introduction to a new large event. I am looking forward to how all of these characters are going to get to work together and I cannot wait to see more. Luckily, I'll only have to wait a week.

That being said, I am still on the edge of my seat and will continue to look forward to this series.

I am being harsh on this issue because the first two set such a high standard. Hopefully the final issue really hits home for this otherwise amazing miniseries.

This is as close to a perfect comic book as I have ever seen. It is entertaining in its own right while promising so many entertaining stories to come.

I know some mystery, intrigue, and questioning is a good thing in comics, but it does not feel like much of a team origin here. While Sejic's art steals the show, the fact that Williamson is simply throwing these characters into a high stakes situation without warning or explanation and hoping reader go along for a ride, and that is not good storytelling.

The visually stunning artwork is only more disappointing wants you realize it is only an exquisite husk for a relatively empty interior devoid of meaning

This is a book without purpose. The book lost its artist after two issues, and even Williamson himself is ditching the title after issue 6. I have faith Dan Abnett will be able to give purpose to this team as he has to Aquaman and the Titans. Until then, the my outlook on the title is quite pessimistic.

One more issue 'til Abnett. One more issue 'til Abnett. One more issue 'til Abnett.

This was a forgettable arc that calls into question this books entire existence. I sincerely hope Dan Abnett will prove why it has one.

Justice League Odyssey #6 is a fresh start that shows the potential of the great cosmic odyssey the series could be. The book isn't quite there yet, but with Dan Abnett at the helm, we are well on our way.

Justice League Odyssey #8is just that: an odyssey that is undeniably cosmic. With a marvelous art teams that brings a remarkable style and texture to Abnett's vision, the feel of this book is that of a stunning adventure that stands out from the other team books in the DCU.

Justice League Odyssey #10is a stunning and mystifying build to what is sure to be an intense confrontation with Darkseid.

Justice League Odyssey #11 continues to add new an exciting elements to the mythos of DC Cosmic while weaving a unique and unpredictable narrative.

Justice League Odysseycould honestly be considered as the best Justice League title out right now with how much it's advancing DC cosmic with every issue. Abnett is fearlessly braving the unknown of the DC Universe with new and exciting additions each in every issue. This issue, it was the Zamarons. What's next?

Orlando and Rossmo pull off a brilliant introduction to a character-defining origin retelling centering around the importance of being true to who you are. J'onn J'onzz may not be from Earth, but this series will make us all a little more human.

A magnificent second issue that builds upon the first while introducing us to elements of tragedy and connecting us to characters from a world away who may not be so different after all.

Martian Manhunter #4 is scary and painful. It uses frighteningly powerful truths to ask us to reconsider the glue to the Justice League that we thought we always knew.

Ultimately however alone J'Onn and Ashley may appear to be, we the readers are here, anxious to see J'Onn become the great leader we know he can be.

An exciting and powerful beginning of a brand new adventure while continuing to build on the world and themes set before.

A powerful story about the heartbreaking cycles of abuse and toxic masculinity that can and do occur in our world.

Young, Corona, Francois-Beaulieu, and Piekos revisit themes from Middlewest #10, this time providing a beacon of hope that the cycle of abuse can be broken.

Middlewest #15 is a book of mostly setup with one or two amazing emotional moments sprinkled in. Young, Corona, Francois-Beaulieu, and Piekos are clearly holding out on us before the epic conclusion.

An excellent start to an exciting sci-fi series that subverts the being abducted by aliens in a really fun way.

Pandemica #1 fails to deliver on its captivating premise. While having a promising concept, the book chooses to focus through an uninteresting lens instead of giving more attention to the voices that matter.

Hopefully the story can paint a direction more clearly next time, but I highly recommend giving this book a try for the visuals alone.

I didn't think I would enjoy a crime drama told through this medium, but I could not have been more wrong. Pearlis only two issues in, and it is already one of my favorite miniseries ever.

A little more convoluted than previous issues, but still a great example of visual and written storytelling.

Beautiful written and visual storytelling that is being told at a pace that is slightly too slow.

Pearl #5 iscaptivating story of pain, beauty, and the relationship between the two with excellent written and visual characterization from Bendis and Gaydos.

Pearl #6is a thrilling and rewarding conclusion to the first arc of a fantastic story of young love and organized crime told through brilliant writing and breathtaking visuals.

Pearl #7 illustrates the limits of comic book storytelling through the crime narrative. Extremely down-to-earth while including an incredible amount of detail, its an eye-opening looks at Pearl and her relationships. Despite the fact that Pearl is about to face a much larger world while on the run, we the readers know her better than ever. Its an amazing book that turns flaws, imperfections and alterations into art and beauty.

Pearl #8is an intriguing and beautiful journey into the mystery of Pearl Tanaka as she travels the world in search of her past while possibly finding love on the way. Next issue, secrets are sure to be revealed by Yakuza members in Japan, and who knows wherein Pearl's fate rests.

Devastatingly beautiful and joyfully haunting,Pearl #9 is a unique art form in sea of comics.

Resonant #1 is a firestorm of raw emotion, anxiety, and fear that any horror buff is going to appreciate. The creative team is able to invoke powerful emotional responses with ease.

Resonant #2 shows what a firestorm truly is and can be as the creative team continues to use raw visual and written emotion to pump the reader full of all the anxiety, trepidation, and dread you could want from the survival horror genre.

While Resonant #5 continues the story on the surface, the issue reveals some fundamental problems that suggest the story has lost its way.

A solid premise with a murky vision, Sea of Stars #1 is a great combination of a cosmic look and design with family, adventure, and survival elements.

She Said Destroy proves to be a magical first issue with big ideas, powerful leads, and worlds that inspire awe.

She Said Destroy is a beautiful melting pot of genres with something to offer everyone while still carrying it's own signature style thanks its subversive takes on light and darkness.

Corallo, Kangas, Nalty, and Ujimori continue to demonstrate the importance and power of faith through meaningful dialogue and powerful characters.

This is a solid first issue to a funny and lighthearted series. Hopefully they will do a little more to keep readers invested, but for now I can say that I am pleased enough to warrant reading another issue. I look forward to a more meaningful connection with Derek in the future.

The comic is still a little dry, but I don't have a problem with them taking their time to set things up.Sideways #2 showed us some good emotion, and I am excited to see the rest of the characters develop. The artwork improved for me in this issue and I look forward to the future of this comic.

The comics is making improvements in some areas and taking steps back in others.Sideways #3showed some good action sequences, but the series really needs to manage its tone better. I am not giving up on this series, but I am hoping things settle down soon.

This issue shows why readers should get behind the New Age of Heroes initiative. The series has improved with each issue and Sideways #4 shows how great an original hero like Sideways can really be. I hope the humor and character development continue to be captivating.

I love DC comics with all of my heart, and it pains me whenever I have to give a bad review. Unfortunately this is on the worse end of comics I have read, but I am hopeful that they can pull things around.

Best issue yet in a series that's been very up and down for me so far. I hope to see more of the same in the future.

I do not give out 5 stars very often, but this is the best issue of Sideways yet and I can't wait to see where this goes.

The dialogue could use some work, but in general,Sidewayscontinues to amaze me.

While the story represents a bit of a setback for me, the fantastic characterization supported by solid art really helps drive the story forward.

Overall, a fantastic homecoming for Derek, Rocafort, and all of the street level elements that make this series great.

A perfectly satisfying issues that is building up to the beginning of the end. There isn't really anything special, but I am excited for what is coming.

Sideways #12 is a series of collisions that just don't work. Whether it be the past and the present, two distinct art styles, the stale and the original concepts of this series, or the surprising yet flat finale,Sideways #12does its best but largely doesn't fit and fails to impress.

Derek James remains the one great consistency in a series that has been very up and down for me since the beginning. Hopefully the series can return, quite literally, to being more down to Earth and support Derek James going on more local adventures, which is what he does best.

Something is Killing the Children is a deeply personal book that cuts deep with its brutality and personal content. It adds personality and real emotion to horror and is definitely a must-read.

Giffoni, Doe, and Krotzer, tell a tale rooted in connection and truth while wrestling with relevant themes of imperialism and conquest.

Superman: Leviathan Rising is a brilliant issue from a a large creative team that's sure to keep you waiting in anticipation forEvent Leviathan later this summer.

This is a well executed effort at something completely unique to the superhero genre from a seasoned creative team that knows how to shake things up and make you laugh.

A completely unique and unexpected take on a somewhat forgotten character in the superhero genre that will always keep you on your toes.

With Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #3, Matt Fraction has proven that he knows Jimmy Olsen and can craft a compelling book around the character. Each issue is constructed in short segments that differentiate it from everything else on the market while keeping it compelling. It'll be fun to see how everything fits together in the end.

Superman: Year One #1 had the potential to be an all-time classic Superman origin that instead shows the destructive power one decision can make on an entire story. Instead,Superman: Year One #1is a tale best forgotten.

A hilarious, entertaining, and ridiculous second issueSuperman: Year One #2 is a wild ride from Miller, Romita Jr., Miki, Sinclair, and Workman.

Sebela, Hickman, Saxon, and Otsmane-Elhaou unveil and address a side of humanity we'd rather not admit exist and create a conversation around what to do about it.

Sebela, Hickman, Saxon, and Otsmane-Elhaou use Test #2 to help us realize that "No pain, no gain" can be easily abused, and that it's okay to not be okay.

A delightfully chaotic blend of humor, caution, and sci-fi, Test #3 brings big and bold elements into Laurelwood and Aleph Null's life.

The Last God may just be DC Black Label's boldest, most ambitious, and best title yet with a phenomenal creative team and unreal multimedia experience of epic proportions.

The Last God is an all-around work of art with incredible worldbuilding, phenomenal design work, and a lot of heart.

The villain feels like an instant classic, but some other aspects of the writing and storytelling definitely do not. Maybe my expectations are unreasonably high for Bendis, but I hope to see some better Superman in the issues to come.

This is a strange one because its like a meal with some of the best side dishes I've ever had, but a lackluster main entre.

Bendis continues to surprise me with how quickly and easily he is grasping one of the biggest characters in comics. If only every writer could approve and adapt like he can.

Amongst all the changes and big news surrounding DC's comics and movies right now, I hope that Bendis and Superman will stay constant for awhile.

The positives are great and the negatives are things I can look past for the time being. What matters write now is that Bendis is confirmed a good choice.

I cannot be more proud to say that this is the first series/miniseries/run that I have reviewed from start to finish. I did not immediately jump on board the Bendis bandwagon just because he started writing Superman, but boy he did not hesitate to win me over. I was overjoyed when Superman was given a family as a new layer to his story, in fact, that is what convinced me to pick upAction Comics andSuperman. Now Bendis is adding new dynamics with Superman learning more about his Kryptonian heritage than he has in a long time, as well as a further look into his relationship with Kara. I think this series is a start to the next evolution of Superman and I could not be more excited for what is in store.

Beginning with an exhilarating first issue, The Plot starts with a sense of horror you welcome as you sit around a campfire but finishes with a sense of dread that sticks with you long after you finish the last page.

A powerful look at the consequences of actions driven by rage and pain. Layers of myth and horror explore heavy themes of marginalization and suffering through a divine and cosmic lens.

Honestly, I don't know what to think of this yet. There is a lot of good and some bad, but no matter what I am along for this wild ride.

This comic is going to take a little while to get going, but I am a patient man so it's okay. I know that something this unique will definitely be worth the wait.

Slow and steady improvement is all a comic needs to keep me going, and this comic delivered improvement in spades. I can't wait to see how a new arrival to the series impacts things.

I love where the story is going and I hope it builds up to something soon. Orlando always has a plan, and luckily, Hawkman's presence in next issue is a lot more warranted.

This story is monumental, multiverse-threatening story you never knew you needed. Continue reading to see how our heroes face off against some of the baddest and most powerful villains of the multiverse!

Besides sometimes not following through with guest characters,The Unexpectedkeeps getting better and better.

An epic final showdown that everyone is sure to remember with unbelievable art from Ronan Cliquet, Jeromy Cox, and Carlos M. Mangual, but some confusing treatment of a promising character in Alden Quench.

Albeit a little rushed,The Unexpectedfinale bridges together numerous important events across the multiverse through a beautiful allegory of creation and destruction that highlights the importance of the artists in this world.

Trust Fall #1 is a mystifying crime thriller that uses the genre's conventions to tell a deeper story of family, truth, and loyalty.

Wonder Twins #1 evaluates youth and its relationship to being a hero in ways other series do not by recognizing that young characters have just as much to teach their peers and elders as they have to learn.

InWonder Twins #2, Mark Russell, Stephen Byrne and Dave Sharpe use Zan and Jayna's fresh perspective to make important and insightful commentary on the prison institution. It's the comedy, wit, and political commentary ofLast Week Tonightnicely packaged in a superhero comic in order to inform as well as entertain.

Wonder Twins continues to be a comic for all ages that will entertain and educate about the problems of today while never giving up hope to be the best we can be as a society.

Wonder Twins #4 provides insightful commentary on dating that, unfortunately, can apply to all ages.

With Wonder Twins #6, Mark Russell, Stephen Byrne, and Dave Sharpe deliver a poignant and powerful conclusion to one of the of the most honest, topical, and necessary comics on the shelves.

Wonder Twins #7 proves why the title deserved to be extended with Mark Russell, Stephen Byrne, and Dave Sharpe delivering hard-hitting moments, plenty of heart, and a whole lot of humor.

Along with Jan Duursema, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Pat Brousseau, Orlando crafts a story determined to show that his Wonder Woman run is going to be a female-driven effort to synthesize previous runs through the unifying themes of love and compassion.

A masterful narrative that transcends the comic book genre and has a lot to say about society and ideology.

Ocean Master #1 is an enchanting character study that is sure to please Aquaman experts and first-time readers. It's inspired, beautiful, heartbreaking just as any mythic tale should be.

There are numerous adjectives once could use to describe the magic and wonder inYoung Justice #1.I'd like to focus on the masterful use of energy, panel to panel, page to page, and issue to reader, that Bendis, Gleason, and Sanchez create from start to finish, only making you want to start again.

Despite some characterization issues,Young Justice #2is full of intrigue, touching character moments, and witty humor. Pick this one up soon, or you'll bewondering why you didn't sooner.

Young Justice continues to be an exciting read full of surprises and wit, this time, with two stories in one.

Young Justice #4 continues to be an energetic breath of fresh air to the DC universe that brings together some of our favorite young heroes, old and new in an epic, magical adventure.

Young Justice #5 is full of youth and joy. Readers will tear up at the sweet young love present in the issues while finally getting answers to the questions they've been looking for. Every issue feels new and refreshing while always building a little more of its own corner in the DCU. Brian Michael Bendis along with John Timms, Kris Anka, Doc Shaner, Gabe Eltaeb, and Wes Abbott have created an issue you don't want to miss.

Young Justice #6proves to be a solid but safe conclusion to the series's first arc. Brian Michael Bendis has a lot on his plate at DC, but he's still bringing oodles of fun to every issue while giving life to some of our favorite young heroes. Gabe Eltaeb makes Gemworld and Timms's art shine and Abbott's lettering adds a nuance of flare in a fun superhero book with a lot of potential that just needs to take a few more risks.

Young Justice #7 continues to be a fun adventure through the multiverse with a ton of humor, heart, and heroism.

Young Justice #8 is a lukewarm issue that proves to be the artists' best issue while being one of Bendis's worst. The action and playful banter are fun, but some of the Earth-3 names, and decisions do not serve the story well.
