I've enjoyed some of Bendis' pre-DC work, so I know he can do better than this. I will giveJustice League Vs The Legion of Super-Heroes #6 two stars, but they're entirely for the lovely art.

Derek: Its impact is already obsolete thanks to the events of Justice League#75. I doubt anyone's buying this for the writing. Perhaps, for the art. Or perhaps in the belief that this series is required for fully understandingDark Crisis. However, I suspect it could be easily skipped without impacting their enjoyment of that event.

Despite Bendis' attempt to get the story back on track, it seems like a lost cause at this point.

View Issue       View Full Review

If you're buying this series, ask yourself why. Based on this issue, it's not going to get any better and like Event Leviathan before it, it's impact will be obsolete before it's completed.

This series may be Bendis' swansong for his DC work. And it's somehow appropriate, as it exemplifies the main problem with Bendis' work for DC. Bendis is good at coming up with ideas. But he has no filter to tell the good ideas apart from the bad ones. And he seems to have lost the ability to do anything with these ideas.

And with Superman #28, Brian Michael Bendis' time as writer of the title comes to a close. Although, there were some bright spots in that run, I hope the next creative team takes a good hard look at the state Bendis has left the Superman mythos in. Bendis ignored the old adage "if it's not broke, don't fix it", and now the incoming creative team actually needs to do some fixing.

View Issue       View Full Review

Justice League #74 was emblematic of Brian Michael Bendis' entire run on the title. Bendis is great at producing ideas with a lot of potential, but he often has trouble realizing that potential. I think the main problem was that he had trouble remembering that this title was about the Justice League first and foremost. However, I do wish him well on his other projects. Hopefully, they will work out better for him.

Derek: Justice League Vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes #1 has me feeling somewhat ambivalent. This title has a lot of potential, but I don't know if Bendis' story is going to realize it. He has done some good writing in the past, but his recent work doesn't give me a lot of faith that he will again. On the other hand, at least it looks nice, thanks to Godlewski's art.

View Issue       View Full Review

Despite all the flaws in the story, there still is the makings of a good story in there somewhere, so I hold out some thin hope that Bendis can still squeeze a moderately satisfying conclusion. But it's sure not going to go down as a classic Superman saga. But thanks to the gorgeous artwork, at least it's nice to look at.

Blue Beetle has been a fun book to read, but the current storyline seems a bit underwhelming due to the absence of Ted from the book. Unfortunately, with the end of the series looming, Ted's return in a couple of months will come too late to put this book back on track again.

I found this issue to be a mixed bag. The most interesting part was the conversation between Batman and Molly, and the possible Rebirth hints being dropped. But other than a shining moment for Simon, the fight against Shirak was rather forgettable.

Despite the problems I have with this issue, it still is an interesting premise that promises for an exciting conclusion once the League and their future children face off against Sovereign.

Despite some flaws in the story, this is still an exciting and thought-provoking adventure. I look forward to how the storyline plays out in the upcoming issues.

There is the makings of a great Justice League story in here, but it just seems off somehow. Some story elements are confusing, while others seem contradictory with what else is going on in the DCU. Also, it seems hard to care too much about children of the League that we barely know and that come from a future that could never happen.

View Issue       View Full Review

This storyline had all the right ingredients for an epic Justice League story that would have been fitting for Hitch's final bow as the Justice League writer, but instead it fell flat. Let's hope that the new creative team fares better.

View Issue       View Full Review

Justice League #73 looks stunning, but unfortunately the writing holds little depth. Brian Michael Bendis is an idea machine. However, he frequently is unable to do much with his good ideas. He still has one last issue left, so maybe he might be able to save this story in the conclusion. Overall, I'd rate this issue rather low, but I have to add points for the great work of the art team.

This issue is a slight improvement, but mostly just more of the same. I also found it disappointing that Bendis didn't follow up on the Triplicate Girl subplot. There is definitely the makings of a good story here, but I remain doubtful that Bendis is up to the job. But if he can focus on the story, and not inundate us with an overabundance of pointless dialogue, then this actually could be a good story.

Shazam #14 marks the end of an ambitious storyline where Geoff Johns bit off a bit more than he could chew. Extending the metaphor, Johns did finally manage to swallow it down. But it proved not to be as satisfying a meal as readers wanted. But don't worry, Jeff Loveness is back next issue to provide us a the actual series finale as dessert.

View Issue       View Full Review

Despite a number of serious flaws, Superman #11 is still an exciting and enjoyable read. I quite like Bendis' story, but once his tenure as the chief Superman writer comes to an end, his successors will likely need to do a continuity cleanup to undo the mess he leaves behind.

View Issue       View Full Review

VerdictI don't think Brian Michael Bendis is a bad writer. I have liked his work on other comics and much of his writing in this current iteration of Superman. However, I have strong reservations about many of the choices he has taken with the direction of Superman. I don't feel that the story he has given us so far has justified these changes. Hopefully, he will wrap up this current Rogol Zaar story soon and bring the title back on track with a new story arc.

View Issue       View Full Review

Bendis' Superman stories are very hit-and-miss. When he's good, he's fantastic, but some of his stories can be a bit of a slog to read. The parts of with Lois and the gorgeous art save Superman #21 from being the latter. Hopefully, Superman's upcoming encounter with Mongul will be more exciting.

View Issue       View Full Review

Bendis' run on Superman has been something of a mixed bag for me. Some of his ideas have truly been great. But some of the changes he has made in service to his story have been horrible. I really love the introduction of the United Planets. But Bendis could have, and should have, accomplished this without questionable retcons and characters acting dramatically out of character.

View Issue       View Full Review

Since the start of Bendis' run on Superman, the writing has been all over the place. Some issues have been great and others… well not so great. Superman #24 seems to fall somewhere in the middle. There's the makings of an excellent story in here, but somehow it comes out as good, but not great.

The main story is another exciting and action-packed chapter in Bruce's quest to get Harvey cured, and has me eagerly waiting for next month's installment. The backup story is getting interesting too, but still isn't as engaging as the main feature.

It was a hell of a ride, and an interesting examination of the relationship between Batman and Two-Face. It also was interesting to see a Batman road trip story rather than the typical tale set wholly in Gotham.

The title continues to hold my interest. Although it seems that Batman has thwarted Freeze's scheme, I am sure that there is more to the story yet. And I am eager to see how Duke will escape death from the explosion he and Batman have triggered.

Despite a weak chapter in the backup storyline, the main story was strong and deepened the mystery of this strike force that is attacking Batman's villains.

The main story is a fitting conclusion to the "Ends of the Earth" story arc, bringing the story to an enjoyable and satisfying conclusion. However, I am ambivalent about the backup story. I don't quite understand what's going on with Duke Thomas, however I am hopeful that things will clear up as his story continues.

Even though the backup story is a bit of a letdown, the main story more than makes up for it. This has been an exciting series that has told some unique Batman stories and I am sorry that it will be coming to an end after the next issue.

As is typical with the Rebirth titles, we get a strong mix of the classic and the new in this issue. Terry has returned as Batman, but he has to contend with more people knowing his secret identity. Even the costume is a mix of old and new. So far, this seems to be a winning recipe for DC.

Batman Beyond is looking alot like the classic version again now that both Terry and Bruce are back, and the return of the Joker certainly promises exciting stories to come.

A solid start for the return of Batwoman's solo title. It reaffirms that Batwoman is still the same character that fans are familiar with from her previous two series, but also shows that she will be taken in new directions rather than just retreading old ground.

DC seems to be having success after success with the Rebirth titles and Blue Beetle is no exception. Just as with the other books, we get the best of the classic and the New 52, as embodied by the team of Ted and Jaime.

Despite these drawbacks, it still is a decent read. I wish Sebela had been allotted a longer run to show what he could do with the characters. This storyline is good, but the spectre of the title's impending end gives it a bit of a sombre feel that diminishes the fun " and Blue Beetle is a title that should be fun.

View Issue       View Full Review

It seems to me that the best way to appreciate this storyline, and perhaps Hitch's entire run on this title is to take it as separate from the rest of the DCU. It doesn't do very well in lining up with the rest of the DCU, but it makes a decent story when taken on its own.

This and the previous issue of Justice League have proven to be an exciting interlude during the changeover of creative teams. I can hardly wait to see what the new creators have in store for us in the upcoming issues.

The two stories in Justice League #66 are wildly different in terms of quality. Ram V's Justice League Dark backup is fully deserving of a 5/5. However, I'd only give Bendis' main story a 2/5. I hope that Bendis' story starts to improve soon, but at least the backup story is great read.

View Issue       View Full Review

If I were able to rate the two stories in Justice League #67 separately, I would give Bendis' main story a rating of 2/5 and Ram V's backup a full 5/5. Kudos are due to Ram V and the artists of both stories. But c'mon Bendis. You're capable of better than you're delivering here. Either turn this around or hand over the reins to someone else.

View Issue       View Full Review

Justice League #72 is very much like other opening chapters in Bendis stories. A number of ideas are introduced. Some have strong potential, but others are problematic. It now remains to be seen if Bendis can deliver on the former while skirting the latter.

View Issue       View Full Review

The Justice League 2022 Annual, like most of Bendis' run has some problems. However, it is one of Bendis' better efforts on the title so far. While it would be nice if he could maintain this higher level of quality going forward, the matter is moot considering that he will be moving on from the title. Hopefully, his Justice League Vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes miniseries will be more like this annual than his work on the main series.

Some readers may find Batman being used in feel-good Christmas tales to be somewhat sappy, but I find it a refreshing break from the bleakness that Batman is typically faced with. Maybe the stories are a little weaker story wise than the typical Batman fare, but it's nice to see that even the Batman gets a break from the doom and gloom once in a while.

VerdictThis is a solid first issue that does the job of introducing the characters and starts giving us a feel of how they work together. This is a promising start for a new take on a classic concept and could easily become one of DC's star titles

View Issue       View Full Review

VerdictBatman and the Outsiders is an intriguing concept – a Batman book where Batman doesn't actually take part in the action (not yet, anyway). While, I am somewhat reserving judgment on the title for now, I think Bryan Hill has made a good start on this reinterpretation of a classic DC super team.

View Issue       View Full Review

It's hard to get a feel for where the story is leading, but Hill has given it a running start. And Dexter Soy's outstanding art is a perfect fit for the book. If they can keep up this level of quality, then this book has the potential to be one of the frontrunners in DC's lineup.

View Issue       View Full Review

So far, Bryand Hill has given us an enticing introduction to the new Outsiders, which has been beautifully drawn by Dexter Soy. Despite the fact that the opening story arc seems to be getting a bit overlong, it still is one of the fresher titles in DC's current lineup.

It appears that Ra's al Ghul is presenting a challenge to Batman and the Outsiders that could tear the team apart. It will be interesting to see how they will overcome this threat and if the team will come through the conflict intact.

Batman and the Outsiders #9 makes it clear that there's a rocky future ahead for the team. Even if they vanquish Ra's al Ghul, they are unlikely to emerge from the conflict unscathed. And the damage to the team's unity might never be fully healed.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman and the Outsiders incorporates enough of the original title's elements to feel like a true successor to the original. But it also includes plenty of new elements, making it more than a rehash of its earlier incarnations. Bryan Hill has produced a captivating reimagination of the Outsiders for the post-Rebirth era.

Bryan Hill has given us an intriguing new take on the Outsiders , but he has kept enough elements of the classic version that it doesn't feel like an entirely new concept. I have been enjoying his take on Batman and the Outsiders, and I look forward to seeing what Hill has planned for the team.

Batman Beyond does a great job of incorporating elements of the original Batman Beyond cartoon with elements from the current-day DCU into exciting adventures of Batman. Oddly enough, the one DC book set in the future in some ways seems the most in tune with DC's history.

Batman Beyond is a fun title that nostalgically recalls the Batman Beyond cartoon, but also builds on the foundation of the show, carrying the story forward. It's almost like getting extra seasons past the cancellation of the show.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman beyond has done a stellar job of both returning the book to a state approximating the original cartoon, while also adding to the mythos. The best thing about this series is that it feels like a continuation of the Batman Beyond cartoon, rather than an alternative take on it. The cartoon didn't really end, it lives on in comic book form.

I've really been enjoying the Rebirth version of the title but I have long felt that the one thing missing from the Batman Beyond mythos was a Robin, and Matt was the obvious choice. I hope that this sticks, and that Matt is allowed to continue his career as the Robin of the future.

View Issue       View Full Review

The one thing that Batman Beyond has been lacking is for Terry to have his own Bat-Family. The addition of a Robin is the logical first step towards rectifying this. This issue could be as important to Batman Beyond as the introduction of the original Dick Grayson Robin was in the Golden Age Batman comics.

View Issue       View Full Review

It was great to see Rebirth bringing Batman Beyond back to a status quo that closely resembled the original cartoon incarnation, but it's even more exciting to see the mythos evolving and expanding. And what better addition could there be than a new Robin?

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman Beyond is definitely a must for fans of the original cartoon, but it's also a fascinating exploration of what might happen after Bruce hands over the identity to an eventual successor. It's great to see DC continuing the story.

View Issue       View Full Review

When Batman Beyond originally appeared as a cartoon, I wasn't terribly enthused with the idea. Someone other than Bruce Wayne as Batman? So, I was only an occasional viewer. But the reading the comics, especially since the return of Terry has brought me around to being a Batman Beyond fan. It may or may not show the ‘true' future of the Batman family, but it makes for a damn exciting premise for a different look at the Batman mythos. And this issue clearly exemplifies that.

View Issue       View Full Review

Honestly, this title has been a revelation to me. The idea of someone other than Bruce Wayne as Batman shouldn't work, but Jurgens deftly manages to make Terry's story nearly as compelling as his predecessor's, giving us some damn fun stories along the way.

View Issue       View Full Review

This particular iteration of the Batman Beyond title started by bringing the status quo back to nearly the same as the cartoon. But the title has just used that as a starting point. I love that the series is moving forward and evolving from that point. The series has brought back a lot of the tone and heart of the original animated series, but keeps moving the story forward into new directions.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman Beyond is still one of the most interesting of the Bat-Family of books. Part of the draw is that it is decoupled from the continuity of the main DCU, so no character is safe from being killed or having their status quo permanently affected. And with the Joker bent on reprising his triumph for A Death in the Family, Matt's future looks to be rather grim.

View Issue       View Full Review

Many titles have their ups and downs, but Dan Jurgens has managed to keep the quality of Batman Beyond consistently good. There have been many incarnations of the comic so far, but I believe that in the future, DC readers will consider Jurgens run as the hallmark era of Batman Beyond.

View Issue       View Full Review

Overall, this was a brilliant follow-up to The Killing Joke and A Death In The Family, and a fitting conclusion to the never-ending battle between Batman and the Joker. It certainly was overdue for Dick to make an appearance. Hopefully, he and Elainna will at least make occasional appearances in the future. I also can't wait to see how this encounter will affect Bruce's relationships with the rest of the Bat-Family.

View Issue       View Full Review

This issue was a somewhat sad, but realistic epilogue to “The Final Joke”. Although it seems that Matt's tenure as Robin is over, Terry's adventures as Batman will continue. And with the lingering threat of Harley Quinn looming, he might wish he still had a Robin to assist him. Jurgens continues to deliver a fascinating extension of the Batman Beyond saga.

View Issue       View Full Review

Dan Jurgens has a good feel for the Batman Beyond mythos and has consistently delivered a title that feels like a true continuation of the cartoon. Very often such books don't feel like they are canon stories (and often aren't), but this iteration of the title feels like a true successor to the cartoon.

View Issue       View Full Review

VerdictDan Jurgens has managed something unique with Batman Beyond. He has given us a series that seems both connected to the wider comics universe while also feeling like a continuation of the cartoon as well. Never before have we seen such a complete merging between the DCU version of a series and its counterpart from another media, pleasing comic and cartoon fans alike.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman Beyond may be set in the future, but Jurgens keeps it connected to Batman's rich history. Not only does he keep it connected to the wider DC comics universe, but also manages to make it a true continuation of the cartoon.

VerdictJurgens' take on Batman Beyond has been great fun, and much more satisfying than DC's earlier attempts to carry on the story. This has given me a desire to rewatch the original cartoon again, and as luck would have it, a remastered Blu-Ray set has just been announced. This is a great time to be a Batman Beyond fan!

Batman Beyond #38 is another solid issue from Dan Jurgens, with some stunning art from Sean Chen and Sean Parsons. Trying to solve the mystery of Batwoman has been a fun exercise, and I hope to see if my guess is correct before long. I look forward to seeing how she handles her first major battle with Blight in the upcoming issues.

Batman Beyond #39 showcases the future Batwoman, proving her to be an interesting new addition to the Bat-family. Jurgens is not only doing a great job at capturing the feel of the original cartoon, but also at expanding the Batman Beyond mythos.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman Beyond is a delight for readers who were fans of the original cartoon. Very often titles that spin out of a movie or TV series are rather forgettable. However, Jurgens makes this title feel like an organic continuation of the original. The animated series truly lives on, just in a different medium.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman Beyond #43 is a great jumping-on point for new readers, establishing a new status quo and introducing a new threat. Hopefully Elainna will soon be back in action as Batwoman. Terry is going to need all the help he can get against the threat of Zeh-Ro and the League of Assassins.

View Issue       View Full Review

Batman Beyond #46 once again demonstrates why DC was wise to make him the caretaker of the Batman Beyond universe. Jurgens' writing shows a respect for the original source material, but also isn't afraid to further expand the mythos. This title consistently proves to be a worth continuation of the original cartoon series.

View Issue       View Full Review

Blue & Gold #5 is another fine issue of Dan Jurgens' highly entertaining buddy story. Booster and Blue Beetle are two of DC's best characters, but they are criminally underused. It's great that Jurgens has brought them back, even if it's just for an eight-issue miniseries. Hopefully, this series will lead to further appearances of these heroes in other DCU titles.

This title just keeps getting better and better. I was never terribly excited about Jaime's adventures in the pre-Flashpoint and New 52 runs of Blue Beetle, but the Rebirth run is one of my favourite titles.

View Issue       View Full Review

Jaime Reyes as the Blue Beetle has generally been well received, but this title has added an element the title lacked: a sense of legacy. Plus, many readers bemoaned the loss of Ted Kord. This title truly gives us the best of both worlds by giving us both Jaime and Ted, and they work together better as a team than they do as solo heroes.

View Issue       View Full Review

I'll admit that I found the previous Blue Beetle titles a bit boring, but this title is anything but. Giffen and DeMatteis have made Blue Beetle an interesting and exciting character again. As such, it definitely fulfills the Rebirth mandate to make reading DC's comics fun again.

View Issue       View Full Review

I hope the rumours of Blue Beetle's cancellation aren't true, as I feel this title is just starting to hit its stride. Here's a suggestion for the DC: take a cue from Green Lanterns and change the title to Blue Beetles with both Ted and Jaime as a duo.

Even if the title was cut short, it was a fun run. It's somewhat disappointing that it never quite realized the claim from the early issues that "Together they are the Blue Beetle." Hopefully, neither Ted nor Jaime will linger long in comic book limbo before they are brought back in another title.

Lex is at the very threshold of conquering the universe and the Legion of Doom has control of various cosmic powers that drastically overpower the League.

With Metal and No Justice, Snyder has created a number of threads through the entire DCU, and it seems that the threads are converging in Justice League. By telling a story on such a large-scale, Snyder takes a large risk of the whole story falling flat, but so far his risk is paying off.

Overall, the main story is okay, but not spectacular. I'd give Justice League #61 a score of 3 out of 5 if it weren't for the Ram V's impeccable backup story. I'd give his story a 5/5. Hopefully, Bendis will get his story back on track next issue, but who knows when it come to a Bendis story? Anyway, I have no doubt that Ram V and Xermanico's Justice League Dark story on its own is worth the price of the book. So, if Bendis' main story is good too, then that's just gravy.

In Justice League #64, the Ram V's backup story steals the show. At this point, I think DC might be better off moving Justice League Dark to the main story and Bendis' "Continuing Adventures of Naomi Guest-Starring the Justice League" to the shorter backup slot. I'd definitely give Ram V's story a 5/5 on its own, but Bendis' story is only mediocre this time around.

The main story of Justice League #65 has some major problems, but also has some nice moments. Overall, I'd give it a 3/10. Ram V's backup story is once again perfect 5/5, if a bit short.

Bendis' story is an improvement overall, but there's still room for improvement. I'd give his story a 35, but I'll add another point for Godlewski's superb artwork. As usual, Ram V and Sumit Kumar's backup story earns a solid 5/5, giving Justice League #68 a 4/5 overall.

The main story in Justice League #69 was an improvement, but still a bit of a mess, but the art was good. So, I'll give it a 3 out of 5.

The main story in Justice League #70 is a step up from Bendis' previous issues, but there's still a fair bit of room for improvement. While he has done some excellent writing in the past, his Justice League hasn't lived up to its potential. Perhaps it's better that he's moving on after issue #74. On the other hand, I'm glad to hear that Ram V's Justice League Dark is graduating to its own title soon. His story more than deserves it. I would give Bendis' writing a mediocre 3 out of 5, but Ram V's writing and the fantastic artwork in both stories raises the rating.

View Issue       View Full Review

Justice League #71 shows a distinct improvement in the main feature. Hopefully, Bendis will continue to improve, as he won't have Ram V's Justice League Dark backup to carry the series anymore. On the other hand, now that the series' cancellation has been announced, perhaps the point is moot. Ram V's last Justice League Dark story merits a full 5 out of 5, but the main story's writing brings the overall rating down.

While Shazam has a number of modern touches, I feel that this version still maintains the spirit of the character readers have loved for decades.

View Issue       View Full Review

VerdictEven though Shazam! has many of the trappings, of the classic Captain Marvel, it is best seen as its own thing. The differences are wide enough that it will likely turn off staunch traditionalists. However, if you can look at it as its own thing, a new interpretation for a new era, then it is a quite fun and enjoyable reading experience. Where a lot of the DC line has been veering away from the renewed optimism promised by Rebirth, Shazam! is doing a wonderful job of keeping that positive spirit alive.

Even though there seems to be way too much going on to easily follow, it is worth the effort to do so. Shazam is one of DC's more interesting characters, and Johns' interpretation is compelling, if a little overpowering. And it does help now that the title seems to back on a regular schedule.

Ridley's Super Sons is a story that can be enjoyed by readers of any age, whether they have any knowledge of the regular DCU comics or not. It definitely would be a good way to introduce younger readers to superheroes. But be sure to start with The Polarshield Project and before following it up with The Foxglove Mission.

Supergirl: Being Super is a great story of a young girl's quest for identity. This book is an ideal book to introduce young girls or boys to the world of comics. Even though this story was not originally a DC Graphic Novels For Young Adults title, it fits right in with these great titles.

Once again, this is a very solid issue, and I am enjoying seeing Superman guiding his son as he takes his first steps towards beinga superhero. This issue is branded as part of DC Rebirth, and we continue to see DC fulfilling the commitment to returning the spirit of the pre-Flashpoint era while continuing to move forward in new directions. What could better exemplify this than the pre-Flashpoint Superman training his son as he moves toward becoming the new Superboy?

Superman is one of the best examples of the success DC is enjoying with their Rebirth renaissance (if that's not a redundant phrase).

Bendis has the unenviable job of proving himself to a number of skeptical fans who would have been content to stick with the previous creative team.

Bendis' time on Superman is off to a great start. With the entire Earth in peril, there's plenty of high-stakes action. Throw in a bunch of guest-starring heroes, some nods to DC history, and a dash of humour, and you have the perfect recipe for a first-rate Superman tale.

View Issue       View Full Review

Between Superman and Bendis' other Superman book, Action Comics, I have much preferred this title so far. I have my doubts about Bendis' direction for the Kent family, which is playing out in Action, but this book has so far proven to be a decent action-packed story, which is proving to be much more engaging than its sister title.

So far, Bendis' work on this title has been enjoyable to read, but has left a number of matters unresolved that have made me uneasy.

I am still unsure of whether Clark dropping his secret identity was a wise direction for the Superman books. However, I do feel that it is being handled a lot better than when his secret was revealed in the New 52 era. The widespread acceptance and support he is getting for his decision makes a lot more sense than the fear and suspicion that he faced in the New 52. I am finding the story interesting and I hope that Bendis will sell me on this bold direction for the character. With Superman #19, he has made a first step towards doing so.

I still have mixed feelings about Bendis' run on Superman. I can accept Superman going public with his secret identity, but I hate the changes to Jon.

This makes Superman a title well worth following.

While not a perfect issue, Bendis does do a decent exploration of what he's been putting Superman through in the previous 22 issues.

Bendis' writing has been all over the place since he took over as steward of the Superman titles. Sometimes he produces a pretty good story and other times it seems barely comprehensible. Some of his changes have been great ideas and others are disastrous. But Superman #25 is one of the better issues. it's an interesting story, and introduces a new enemy that shows potential as a Superman villain. And he managed to connect the villain to Superman's past without awkwardly retconning him into Superman's origin story. Overall, I would rate this as one of Bendis' better issues. I just wish he could make them all this good.

Bendis' run on the title has been hit or miss, but I would definitely group Superman #26 among the hits. In this issue we get to see a some good character interaction between Lois and Clark, as well as between Clark and Steve.

All in all, Superman #26 is one of Bendis' better issues of Superman.

Ram V is a recent addition to DC's talent pool, but he's already proving himself to be quite the storyteller. I found Future State: Catwoman #1 to be rather engaging and exciting.

Future State: Legion of Super-Heroes #1 completely exceeded my expectations.

Future State: Superman/Wonder Woman #1 may not be as enticing as the event's other titles. However it has an element of fun that the other titles seem to be missing.

Overall, I had a great time reading Generations Forged #1 and its predecessor, Generations Shattered . It was an entertaining adventure spanning different eras of DC's publishing history. It read like a bit-sized version of Crisis On Infinite Earths. And while at first, I thought it held some worrisome implications for DC continuity, those fears have been assuaged. But I won't be pleased if Infinite Frontier reveals that the Linearverse is the main DC Universe after all.

With I Am Batman #0, John Ridley has gotten off to a great start. This feels like it could be a ground-breaking new series. Although, I'm sure the title will have some detractors, I hope that the series, and Jace Fox”s career as the Batman, will be long and successful.

With I Am Batman #1, John Ridley continues to build on the solid start from last issue. So far, this series is living up to all the hype. Jace Fox is a fascinating character and I look forward to seeing how he evolves, as Ridley tells his story.

In I Am Batman #2, Ridley's story is still going strong as he continues to establish Jace Fox as the Next Batman. This story is proving to be every bit as good as DC hyped it up to be.

I have to admit that I was somewhat cynical of a new Batman taking on the role of Gotham's Dark Knight – especially one who wasn't selected by Bruce Wayne or part of the Bat-Family's inner circle. John Ridley's story has convinced me that the idea can work. I look forward to seeing where the story's heading, and with I Am Batman #4, we can see the various plot points begin to coalesce.

Whether John Ridley's title is in-continuity or not, I'm still enjoying it immensely. I'm glad to see that Jace is establishing himself in the role. The move to a new city in I Am Batman #5 and the minor, but significant change in costume should help distinguish Jace from his predecessor, and I look forward to watching his continuing evolution as the Batman.

This left him scrambling to make I Am Batman fit properly into the Infinite Frontier-era continuity. Moving Jace to a new city allows for a way to rebuild the status quo that can repair or cover a lot of the continuity problems. So, the move to New York was probably a wise decision in the long run.

View Issue       View Full Review

Ridley's story is showing us how Jace is proving himself and growing into the role of Batman and this is best done out of Bruce's shadow. Putting Jace in a different, but not entirely dissimilar city allows the new Dark Knight to establish himself with minimal reliance on Bruce's reputation. Ridley's story is an interesting deconstruction of the character that asks if one has to be Bruce Wayne to succeed as a Batman. It's an intriguing premise and I look forward to seeing how it plays out as Jace's saga continues.

I Am Batman #8 is a rather thought-provoking issue of John Ridley's Batman saga. It illustrates that the book's title is well-chosen. It represents what Jace is saying about his heroic identity, but the intonation is evolving as the story progresses. At first, it was a somewhat presumptuous declaration: “I Am Batman!”. Now, it's becoming more of a question”. I think it may eventually become a statement again, and may even evolve to become “I Am The Batman”.

I Am Batman #9 continues to show the evolution of the character, as he figures out his own unique approach to being Batman.

Reading Super Sons each month is a true pleasure. This title has a playfulness that reminds me of Peter David's Young Justice (I miss that title). How can you not love a book that makes Superman Red, Superman Blue into a family tradition? I can't wait to see how this plays out in next month's issue.

Although this title may not be as high-profile as Doomsday Clock or Heroes In Crisis, it is still one of my favourite titles. The writing is charming and witty and art is superb – and it's always the most fun book in the week's stack of comics.

Whatever the future of the title, the book is a delight that readers can enjoy while it lasts. With the serious and tragic events unfolding in Heroes In Crisis, it provides a welcome light-heart dose of fun to lift a comic reader's spirits.

Once again Tomasi treats us to an incredibly fun adventure of the junior World's Finest team. I wish this series wasn't limited to a mini, but at least we have seven more issues to look forward to.

View Issue       View Full Review

It seems somewhat strange that this issue is appearing the same week as the debut of Young Justice, a title that features a different Superboy and Robin (Conner and Tim). DC hasn't made clear if and how both these duos can co-exist, but I hope that DC somehow finds a way that allows Jon and Damian to continue their adventures as the Super Sons, as this is one of DC's best books of the post-Flashpoint era.

View Issue       View Full Review

Tomasi's Super Sons has been one of the best things to come out of Rebirth, and it would be a shame to see it end with the final issue of this miniseries. Hopefully their adventures will continue in some form regardless of whatever changes DC has in store for Jon and Damian. In any case, I will savor each issue of this series while it lasts.

View Issue       View Full Review

Tomasi is a master at writing fun stories with strong characterization and snappy dialogue. I find that his stories about Superboy and Robin strongly reminiscent of Peter David's Young Justice, which is high praise. Unfortunately, just like that late, lamented title, I don't think DC realizes what they're losing. Perhaps DC might consider having Tomasi do another flashback mini like this one at some point in the future.

View Issue       View Full Review

This is one the best DC series and I would say that it ranks among some of the best DC titles of all time. I will be sorry when this current mini reaches it conclusion, and I hope that DC has future plans for the saga of the Super Sons to continue in one form or another.

VerdictWhatever the future holds for Damian and Jon, this series is great fun and well worth enjoying while it lasts. Whether as an ongoing or mini, Tomasi's Super Sons is one of the highlights of DC's finest titles and their lineup won't be the same without it.

It's almost over, so buy and enjoy it while it's still here. This series may be the last we see of Superboy and Robin as they have appeared through the Rebirth era. And if for some reason you haven't been following this series so far, you won't regret hunting down the back issues to get caught up.

VerdictAdventures of the Super Sons was a joy to read and easily one of my favourite titles to read. I'm going to miss reading it each month.

In an interview, Tom King claimed that he was going to do “something no one's ever seen for the character. It's something that's going to change the character for a generation, or maybe more. Maybe forever.” And with Batman #83, he has delivered on this promise. The question now is where does the Batman go from here?

King has produced an epic story that has brought Bruce to his lowest emotional point. However, the Batman has come out of this crucible as a stronger character. He has reaffirmed the inner core of hope that drives him to continue his battle against evil. Also, King has made a convincing case that the Batman can be happy without diminishing his effectiveness as a crime-fighter.

While I am disappointed to see King's stewardship of Batman come to an end, Batman #86 clearly shows that he's leaving the title in good hands.

If these first few issues are any indication, Tynion's run on Batman will prove to be a classic Batman saga.

I am eager to see what the other writers in this series will come up with.

NegativesI originally had some reservations about the idea of other authors taking on Lemire's characters. However, each issue of this series so far has proven those fears to be unfounded. So far each writer has found something to add, while still being respectful of the Lemire's creations.

I particularly enjoy reading offbeat stories like the one in Black Hammer: Visions #4. It's a delightful addition to the other installments of this series. This miniseries has yet to produce a story that isn't a great addition to the Black Hammer mythos.

Black Hammer: Visions #6 is another winner in this fantastic series. Despite the change in creators, characters, setting, and even tone between issues, the high level of quality is stays constant.

Black Hammer: Visions #7 is an offbeat exploration involving one of the stranger corner's of Jeff Lemire's universe. But it's no less less exciting than any of the other stories in this miniseries. This story has me hoping that Lemire will do more with the Limbo concept in the future.

Black Hammer: Visions was a something of an experiment, which has proven to be a rousing success. Each writer has provided a fantastic story worthy of addition to the Black Hammer canon. This shows the superb job of world-building that Lemire has accomplished, providing a wealth of possibilities that is the ideal playground for a talented writer.

Colonel Weird: Cosmagog #3 is a another fun chapter in Lemire's offbeat story of the titular cosmic adventurer.

The Dark Crisis #0 FCBD Special Edition gives every indication that DC's summer event will be phenomenal. This small taste makes it clear that Williamson and Sampere are capable of giving us a truly memorable story. It's free, so there's little excuse not to check it out. You won't be sorry.

Dark Crisis #1 serves as a fantastic opening chapter for Williamson's story. It has me hooked and I am eager to see what twists and turns this story will take over the next few months. Strap in, folks, as it looks like we're in for a hell of a ride.

DC has had mixed luck with their major event series over the years. And it looks like Dark Crisis is shaping up to be one of the better ones. Williamson and the other DC writers have put a lot of care into planning this story and it shows. I can hardly contain my anticipation to see how Williamson's story will play out.

Williamson is doing a phenomenal job of building an epic story despite the absence of several of DC's most prominent characters. Taking the Justice League off the board is proving to be genius decision that allows for Williamson to focus on DCU's entire legacy of fantastic characters. And the artwork by Daniel Sampere, Daniel Henriques, and Danny Miki truly adds to the epic feel of this series.

If this issue is any indication, the upcoming Worlds Without a Justice League one-shots are going to be something really special. I can't wait to see what worlds Pariah has created for the other members of the League.

Young Justice holds a special place in my heart, as my first comic review was for Young Justice #1 for my University's newspaper. Peter David and Todd Nauck's series was one of my all-time favourite comic series. And Meghan Firzmartin and Laura Braga have done a masterful job of evoking my nostalgia for that series. DC should consider tapping them for a Young Justice ongoing series after this Dark Crisis tie-in reaches its conclusion.

As a fan of Peter David's original Young Justice series, I am loving this return of the team. Fitzmartin and Braga are doing a fine job of tapping the nostalgia for that series, while still creating a new story of their own. I am hoping that this series is leading to a new Young Justice title. Hopefully DC has plans for Young Justice once the dust settles from Dark Crisis.

Dark Nights: Death Metal Speed Metal #1 was a beautiful epilogue to Williamson's epic Flash saga. While “Finish Line” nicely finished off his Barry Allen story, Speed Metal brought that story full circle. Williamson's epic tale both begins and ends with a focus on the strong bond of friendship between Wally and Barry. As a fan of Williamson's run on The Flash, this week has made me extremely happy, but also saddened that he has reached the end of his time as caretaker of the Flash mythos.

These seasonal anthologies usually follow the same pattern: one or two standout stories, one or two clunkers, and the rest somewhere in-between those extremes. DC's Legion of Bloom breaks that mold. The Titans West, Flash and Swamp Thing, Captain Carrot, and Superman stories all stand out as something special. The other half of the stories are still quite enjoyable. There's not a clunker or even a mediocre story in the collection, so this may be the best seasonal anthology from DC yet.

DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1 is another great collection of stories. I look forward to seeing future work from the new creators featured here as well as the more established names.

DC is trying hard to reconnect with longtime fans that may have been disenchanted with DC over the New 52 reboot. While there was much I liked about the New 52, I much preferred the pre-Flashpoint DCU. But between "The Button" and "Superman Reborn," this has been an amazing month for DC Fans. For the first time in years, reading comics seem as fun and exciting as it did when I was a kid.

My mind was blown by this issue. After I read it, I just had to sit and absorb it for about an hour before I could even start reviewing it. If this is indicative of where the Rebirth and Doomsday Clock storylines are headed, then I am reassured that the DCU is in good hands.

Guest appearances from most of DC's biggest stars, hints about Barry's future, a possible hint about Bart Allen, a seemingly unbeatable threat, and most important of all, Barry and Iris have made up.

This is a huge summer for DC with weddings and relaunches, but in my opinion the real excitement is happening in the pages of The Flash as Wally and Barry fight that could save Wally's family or destroy the Speed Force and unravel time itself. “Flash War” is a story you don't want to miss.

The Flash War storyline was amazing, but things aren't slowing down any for the Flash now that it's over with.

After the burst of optimism from Rebirth, it seems that the DCU is entering a dark phase.

The Force Quest is off to a brilliant start. Taking the Flash out of Central City and on a tour of the wider DCU is a refreshing change of pace for the title.

For a while now, there has been a war going on in the DCU of light against dark. In Justice League, the conflict is Justice vs. Doom, but in The Flash, the battle is one of pessimism vs. optimism, and pessimism has held the upper hand for quite a while now. I've always felt that Barry Allen represented the optimistic soul of the DCU, and we seem to be reaching a turning point in the battle. The Flash is a title that every DC fan should be reading right now.

VerdictWith Barry's continuing struggle with pessimism, The Flash can be a bit of a depressing read at times, but “Year One” delivers the fun, enjoyable experience that one should expect from a Flash comic.

VerdictI am confident that The Flash #73 will stand out as a landmark issue. We get to witness the beginnings of Barry and Iris' relationship which is not only a milestone in The Flash mythos, but also a fundamental piece of DC history.

The Flash #762 was a fantastic ending to an epic run by Joshua Williamson. It's no exaggeration to say that Williamson has done for Barry Allen what Mark Waid did for Wally West.

I quite liked The Flash #764. Shinick is proving a capable writer for the title and perhaps might prove to be as good as any of his predecessor's, especially if he takes Barry and Iris' romance in the direction he seems to be hinting at.

But that's to be expected from a series written by Geoff Johns with the assistance of Tim Sheridan and Jeremy Adams. With talent like that, this series has a lot going for it.

With Flashpoint Beyond #2, the story is picking up steam. While it's not clear yet where Johns', Adams, and Sheridan's story is headed, it's building to something big. With this many of DC's hottest creators on board, this story is going to be a wild ride.

I have no complaints about this issue. Flashpoint Beyond #6 neatly wraps up the story and also provides a number of intriguing hints at future events. This has been a great series overall in terms of both writing and art. Johns, Sheridan, and Adams have brought Thomas Wayne's story to a satisfying conclusion, for now, at least. Future explorations of the Flashpoint timeline would still be welcome, and several intriguing hints were dropped in this final issue that should provide all three writers fuel for future stories. This was a somewhat offbeat premise for a mini-series that turned out to be a real treat.

Future State: The Next Batman #1 introduces a lot of intriguing ideas to the Batman mythos. Hopefully DC and Ridley will explore these ideas beyond the Future State event.

Tom King's work for DC has been somewhat polarizing among comic fans. But some of his series are indisputably fantastic. Mister Miracle, Omega Men, and Rorschach will undoubtedly be recognized as classics. And so far, The Human Target is on course to being another classic story.

The Human Target #5 is a unique issue of this series, but in a way that makes perfect sense within the terms of the story. A telepathic battle is rather tricky to convey properly in a visual medium, but Tom King and Greg Smallwood have pulled it off beautifully.

The shocking events of The Human Target #6 make it clear that Tom King's series is outside of the official continuity or that it should be.

In the wake of Metal and No Justice, Justice League appears to be the core book of what DC is calling the “New Justice” family, which will also contain Justice League Odyssey, Justice League Dark, and Titans. For better or worse, this puts this title at the forefront of the DCU. And based on the first two issues, I think we're in for a hell of a ride.

Snyder has ramped the stakes up to an unprecedented level. It's like the League was having to deal with two or three Crisis-level events simultaneously.

You would think that the stakes are as high as they could be by this point, but Snyder keeps finding a way to nudge them a bit higher. When the conclusion eventually does come, this will either be an epic Justice League story or an epic failure.

Damn, I have to admit that this mystery has me intrigued. After reading Rorschach #1, I am prepared to follow Tom King down whatever rabbit hole he's heading toward. This series promises to be a truly memorable story.

With Rorschach #2, the mystery deepens. I still don't know exactly what to make of the mystery Tom King has presented here, but it has me hooked. I don't know exactly what's going on, but Iwant to know, and that has me hooked. Rorschach is shaping up to be yet another Tom King masterpiece.

With Rorschach #3, the mystery at the centre of this series is getting deeper and stranger. I'm not exactly sure what this story I'm reading actually is, but I'm loving every minute of it.

Tom King's Rorschach is quite different from Watchmen, or any other comic I've ever read for that matter. It's a totally engrossing mystery that's unlike anything else I've ever read. And I'm loving every minute of it.

Just when I think I have this story figured out, King pulls the rug out from under me. And each time he does so is an absolute delight. King and Fornes are creating something here that transcends ordinary superhero comics.

Rorschach #8 seems somewhat paradoxical, as although the detective is learning more details about the attempted assassination of Turley, the mystery somehow gets murkier instead of clearer. This title nothing like you would expect from a Watchmensequel, but is absolutely brilliant anyways.

Rorschach #9 is another brilliant chapter in this astounding series. King has written some damn good stories, and this series is no exception. Hopefully, he can deliver a satisfying conclusion to the story, and I have every confidence in his ability to do so.

With Rorschach #10, King's story is zeroing in on the endgame. This series is a fascinating and refreshing departure from regular superhero books.

King has brought all the threads together in Rorschach #11, and the detective has solved the mystery. But he has been fundamentally changed by that mystery. This series has been an amazing ride. Now it only remains for King to bring his series to a satisfying conclusion in the final issue.

Watchmen #12 was a wholly satisfying conclusion to an absolutely astounding series. This is totally unlike any other comic story I've ever read, but I thoroughly enjoyed every single issue. Like King's Mister Miracle, this will surely be recognized as one of DC's all-time classic stories.

Despite the book having some trouble finding a good balance between being serious or silly, it is great to see that some of DC's line of books is maintaining the bright hopeful tone that was promised by Rebirth.

Despite the problems, Shazam is still a fun title to read. If Johns can just get it back on a regular schedule and simplify the plotline a bit, then Shazam could be the great title that the former Captain Marvel deserves.

There's a lot of potential evident this book, but I really think that it could be vastly improved if Johns were to slow the pace of the story somewhat and not try to cram multiple storylines into a single arc. Dc should consider looking at the continuity in the release cycle of the title schedule if it wants to keep the interest of the readers – even if this means giving the book to another writer.

Geoff John's Shazam isn't bad, but it's got some problems that he needs to get sorted. Now that he's got the release schedule back on track, hopefully he can streamline the story a bit. This is a good title, but it should be a great title. I just hope Johns can realize the book's full potential.

Shazam #15 serves as not only a touching final issue, but shows us a glimpse of the Shazam series we might have had.

Superman & Robin Special #1 was a great chance to see one of my favourite writers revisit an all-time classic title.

Super Sons: The Polarshield Project is a book that children will enjoy whether or not they are familiar with DC's superheroes already. In fact, it could serve as a good introduction to superhero comics for kids. Even as an adult, I found it a fun read and a great start to the DC Zoom line.

I admit that I had some trepidation about this title when Bendis took over the reins after Peter J. Tomasi's superb run. However, Bendis is showing that he is fully capable of maintaining the high bar set by his predecessors. If this issue is any indication, the Superman titles are in good hands.

While I still don't like the change in status quo for Jon, I still find the story of how it happened to be quite fascinating. I find that I am enjoying this story even though I am not sure that I want to. This puts me in the unique position of liking the story, yet hoping that it gets negated or retconned away. But for now, I'm content just to see where Bendis is taking Superman and his family.

I don't know that I like a lot of the decisions Bendis is making about the direction of the Superman's titles, especially in making Superboy older than he should be. However, Bendis is providing an entertaining tale that is fun to read, so I won't be upset if after he is done playing in DC's toybox, if he makes sure to leave things in the same state he found them. But for now, I am content to sit back and watch where this story is leading.

I find myself very conflicted with Bendis' Unity Saga storyline. I hate many of the decisions that Bendis made to set this story in motion, such as aging Jon and shoehorning Rogol Zaar into the story of Krypton's destruction. But given the questionable start, he has managed to bring it to a somewhat satisfying conclusion. I have to conclude that I enjoyed reading the story, but I look forward to the next major retcon that wipes away the parts of the Superman mythos that Bendis broke to produce this story.

DC has been marketing this story as a major milestone in their comics. Bendis has a difficult task in living up to this hype, but I believe he is up to the job, and he is off to an amazing start with the landmark issue Superman #18.

This was a somewhat interesting Superman story, with a fairly unique villain. I am also intrigued by the significance of Lois' book, even though I suspect that it might prove anticlimactic. Bendis' stories have been somewhat hit-or-miss, but Superman #27 has proven to be one of the better issues of his run.

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #11, serves as a great penultimate issue to the series. It wraps up a lot of the disparate plotlines into a discernable whole.

This title has taken the formula that has served DC well in recent years of revisiting their past, but moving the story forward from there. It is a delight to return to the Dreaming and reunite with Neil Gaiman's characters. But, there are new and mysterious threats that promise to keep the story exciting.

Either Neil Gaiman is taking an active role in the plotting of this series or Spurrier is doing a masterful job of channelling him.

The Terrifics #22 is another fine issue in a truly great series. I hope DC appreciates what a great series they have here. The Terrifics never fails to be a fun and entertaining reading experience.

The Terrifics is a unique gem that is unlike anything else in the DC lineup. This story demonstrates that a comic book can have a healthy dose of silliness without diminishing the overall quality. The Terrifics puts the fun back in funny books.

Since its inception, this has been a fun title to read, and Yang makes The Terrifics #25 even more so by using a branching narrative. On top of this, he adds some twists to make it unique from other interactive stories. This makes this landmark issue something truly special.

The Terrifics is one of the true gems in DC's line and continues to impress me with each issue. The Terrifics #26 delivers a fun, engaging story that's beautifully drawn, and adds some intriguing new elements to the mythos. What more could you ask for?

While I am very disappointed that The Terrifics #27 is the final print issue, I am quite glad that DC has gone to the lengths they have to support this gem of a title. I look forward to seeing how Yang will wrap up the series.

Despite the fact that there's only two more issues left, and that they are only available in digital form, I urge readers not to drop the title now. This is a fantastic book and The Terrifics #28 has shown that Gene Luen Yang, Sergio Davila, and Vicente Cifuentes are still doing the same great job that they always have.

The Terrifics #29 is the penultimate issue of this title. It's a shame that it didn't find the wider audience it deserves, but perhaps when the comic industry stabilizes again, Yang, Lemire, or some other talented writer will be given the opportunity to revive the title. In the meantime, I'm sure Yang has a satisfying blowout issue planned for next month.

The Terrifics #30 is a fine send-off to the one of the best titles of the Rebirth era. I would have liked to see it last a lot longer, but it certainly outlasted the rest of the New Age of DC Heroes titles. Hopefully, when things return to normal for DC and the comics industry, DC will give The Terrifics another shot.

Despite one of the backup stories being somewhat lacklustre, the main story lives up to the high standard set by Lemire in the main series, and the other backup was a fascinating look at one of the supporting cast. So overall, I would say this was a great issue and well worth reading.

The Unbelievable Unteens #1 introduces us to another fascinating Black Hammer title. It has an eerie tone that feels a bit different than previous titles. But Lemire has built a rich universe with room for different styles of stories. And I am sure that this title will every bit as great as his other Black Hammer books.

One of the best things about the Lemire's Black Hammer universe is the depth of it. It's not just evocative of a particular genre or era of comics, but reflects the entire history of the medium. And each new project reveals a new facet of the rich tapestry that makes up Lemire's world. Lemire's tributes to comics are always spot on and this tribute to the 60s era Doom Patrol and X-Men is no exception.

Jeff Lemire has managed to build a superhero universe that spans many genres, and The Unbelievable Unteens makes a great addition to the Black Hammer universe. I am eagerly looking forward to next issue's concluding chapter, and hope to see more of the Unteens in future Black Hammer stories.

Lemire's universe allows for a wide variety of titles and The Unbelievable Unteens is makes a delightful addition to the Black Hammer family. I look forward to seeing what Lemire's has planned for his next Black Hammer project.
